Up until sometime today there was a menu item where you could select Unanswered Threads since...Last visit, yesterday, etc.
I don't see it now. If the tech team is going to screw with the site couldn't they at least make one of the improvements we've asked for?
Also the canned answer menu? I could not find it.
Up to yesterday, there was dropdown list of canned answers,i.e: "title", "hijacking", "array formula".
Now, it 's gone?

MARK SOLVED also missing, as is LOCK THREADS in CS and TOP POSTERS option
Currently reporting this to TT
Let me know if you see (or dont see) any others
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

I just reported a post on this thread:
https://www.excelforum.com/excel-general/1328837-want-tab-name-in-sumproduct-formula-to-be-a-cell-reference-rather-than-hard-coded.html
but the Report Post button has not disappeared (as it used to do).
As well as the UserCP button missing from the top menu when you first login.

The code tags icon has gone from the quick reply window.
I was going to say ...
Icons for Code Tags, PHP, HTML, fx, etc missing on Quick Reply
Is it just me, or is this a problem for anyone/everyone else?

Everybody, I think. Lots of things have disappeared AND we've had a lot of SPAM today - coincidence???

Missing stuff and spam ... coincidence? I would guess so, can't really see a link (though I know I’ve reported several 'take me to your admin' threads).
Workaround is to Go Advanced
Yes, I know that but it's not really the point. It just makes it difficult to comply with forum rules, especially for new people.Workaround is to Go Advanced
I've noticed the last two times that I've logged in that the User CP button and the side menu bar have both been restored on the opening screen, so I suppose that is some progress towards restoring the site to how it was (mind you, they were both reported a couple of weeks ago).
Pete
It also looks like members can post URLs in post 1 which allows spam like this to get through
That's why I think it might not be a coincidence. Maybe the Mod CP has been hacked?
You may be right. But the things that have changed must be beyond the Mods' scope.
They are. They are even beyond the admin's scope, I believe, which is why Ford has to ask the tech team to look into it. It's all very annoying and inconvenient.
When I said Mod CP, I really meant the back end.
Perhaps it's time this forum should move to some new Forum software like other large forums have done?
I'm still astonished at the number of posts we get here while working with this out-of-date stuff. That really says a lot about the quality of the answers one gets here
OTOH seeing how this forum is maintained, it's probably just a dream...
The Lock and Unlock on the CS forum is no longer there also. Nor the amount of points offered appears to be missing.

The automatic " Welcome " reply has also disappeared in the " Introduce Yourself" forum
I have reported as many of the missing headings as I know of...
SOLVED
LOCK
canned replies
Best response I got AFTER I asked if I was wasting my time reporting anything was...
so any update on getting this...or ANYTHING that I have reported...fixed yet??
or should I not waste my time asking for help any more?
Raghav, 12:06 AM
I had given it to the development team on that very day
I am just taking an update from them
Sorry
12:07 AM
an update in that regard would have helped, instead of me thinking you are just ignoring me
Raghav, 12:08 AM
You are right Dibbs , I missed that sorry.
12:08 AM
ok
Dont hold your breath waiting
Also reported the increase in spam and spammers posting links in 1st post
And, when we do Report posts/threads, the option isn't removed so you might get several of us reporting the same crap.
It's nice to see the platform so hugely improved after my year's absence....

None of us get paid for helping you... we do this for fun. So DON'T FORGET to say "Thank You" to all who have freely given some of their time to help YOU.

I blame you, Glenn ...
Joking apart, the one I am sure we can do without reinstating is Arlu's general welcome message, not least because he/she is a phantom member now (not sure he/she ever really existed).
The SPAM is a pain, mostly because of the plethora of first posts containing multiple links. I do think we've been hacked at the back-end, or the tech team has a rogue member!!!
Thanks for trying, Ford!
Talking about phantom members and the Tech Team in the same posts leads to mental connections ... phantom Tech Team!?
Pretty sure Arlu did exist and was female and, I think, went off to have a child/children (but I might have made that up).
With the increase in spam & the fact that the report button doesn't get hidden, do you want us to keep reporting any spam we find?
Once only for each SPAMMER you spot. Thanks.
If you report the same thread as another member, it comes through as just one report, so no need to worry about proliferation.
Ok, will do.
See my edit.
Seen.
Wasn't sure if you just got one "thread", with multiple posts, or a new "thread" for each report.
Arlu was the (only) admin here a good few years back. She left to pursue her sewing business and family.
Anyone seeing any change/improvement? I sure dont?Raghav, 1:22 AM
"Mark thread SOLVED" is missing
"Top Posters" (under Quick Links) is missing
Those are what I can see at a glance
This part should be sorted
1:22 AM
CS threads cannot be locked, and points dont show, either
Raghav, 1:22 AM
Please if you can clear the cache once and check
Neither is back.
Everything looks back to normal for me.
I have just noticed that mark as solved is back - let's hope it's all hunky dory.
Canned Replies is also back.
CS has Points back also.
Hi Ford,
It seems some of the issues have been fixed but Lock link is still not visible in the commercial threads. I am also not sure if OP can find the Appreciate link now.

Treat people the way you want to be treated. Talk to people the way you want to be talked to.
Respect is earned NOT given.
Looking good to me, as in, the obvious omissions have been restored. As ever, it would be interesting to know exactly what happened
I have informed TT that Top Posters, SOLVED and Canned Replies are back, but CS LOCKED and CS POINTS display are still missing.
I will also push to find out what happened
@Ford Thanks for pushing this. I'm not as prolific a user of the site as others here and don't use all of the functions, but I did find User CP and Unanswered Threads being missing extremely annoying.
Regards,

I recently started a new job so am a bit busy and may not reply quickly. Sorry - it's not personal - I will reply eventually.
If your problem is solved, please go to 'Thread Tools' above your first post and 'Mark this Thread as Solved'.
If you use commas as your decimal separator (1,23 instead of 1.23) then please replace commas with semi-colons in your formulae.
You don't need to give me rep if I helped, but a thank-you is nice.
