Can you give any specific examples of the issues you're having? Search usually works fine for me - although I don't use it often - so I'm not aware of a (general) problem that needs addressing.

Is it the Tapatalk app? If so you'll need to contact them directly for help, as it's not part of Proboards.

** Also, admin , I’ve asked before for a way to summon tag all international members. You never listen to me. If you loved me, you’d slog through thousands of profiles, determine residency, and create a group tag. I must have missed your previous requests Nevertheless, this is beyond my wit, so I fear I can only leave you to conclude that I don't love you. Incorrect though that conclusion may be.

Hi, I’ve decided I’d like to leave this board. I’d like to delete my account. How can I do so? Account Deletion Guide

Thank you! You all are the sweetest, I totally don't deserve it.
The real thanks go to all of you who have turned this GS board into a really lively, fun place packed full of inspiration. Especially to all those who run challenges, crops, and more. 2Peas is once again one of the best - maybe even the best? - places on the web for scrappers and that's because of YOU.

Best wishes for the Christmas you hope for and for a peaceful and healthy New Year with special wishes to those of us struggling with family or health issues. I hope those things improve over the coming weeks and an easier time is had in the future. I couldn’t put it any better than this, so I won’t try! Merry Christmas to all the Peas Xx

I'm so sorry, I don't know how I missed this until now!
It sounds to me like you have accidentally collapsed the 'General' section on the main board. If you click on the blue header bar where it says General, it should expand to show the individual boards again.

Sorry folks, this is a Proboards-wide fault. They're working on a fix - should be sometime today but can't say when exactly.
In the meantime I know it's a PITA but just click on the 'Not Right Now' button whenever the pop-up shows up.

Probably someone planted a redirect ad. Yup, that's what it will be. Don't click on anything, close out, and report the ad so Proboards can ensure it is removed from circulation. There's a "Report Ad" link at the bottom of every page.

Ugh, sounds like a malicious advert. Totally not allowed but they do slip through occasionally. If it happens again, make a mental note of the time. Close the tab/window and when you are able to get back on the board, click on the link "Report Ad" at the bottom of any page. There are instructions on that link, and more info here if you need it.

Sorry for the delay, I haven't been around for a few days.
As dasmith says, there should be that Create Thread button on every board, in the same place as this one, so I'm not sure why you're not seeing it.
Are you able to post a screenshot of one of the boards where it is missing?

Nicole I've taken another look and it seems to have reverted to the same setting as before, which will superimpose the avatar maker over the uploaded image (or in your case, the default kiwi avatar). I had already set it back to default last time I looked at this, so that doesn't seem to be the issue. I have also uploaded a (totally random) image just to make sure that works, and it's fine for me. I remain at a loss I'm afraid - if the pop-up simply isn't appearing for you, it definitely sounds like a local software issue - maybe an ad-blocker or firewall issue? Definitely try Proboards Support, as they may have better insight - anyone can post there, you don't have to be a moderator, although you do need to make an account for that board (the account you have here is specific to 2Peas)

I think it's a recent addition. I think admin explained it in one of the older posts that got bumped but I don't remember which thread it was or what her explanation was. I don't think I ever did, because it's not actually that useful. It only looks at the date of the last post, so as soon as someone has bumped a thread by replying, no alert will show up. It's only really useful in the kind of scenario in the OP where someone comes across an old thread in a search or link.

"Just give up now. You're never going to win." That's probably not helpful, is it I was going with "Don't do it. Walk away while you still can".

Ah Peas. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
I'm tired so I'll keep this as brief as I can.
Whilst well-intentioned, there is bit of misinformation on this thread, so I'll try to clarify. - The photo hosting that's just been paid for to replace Photobucket is where we (will) keep smilies, anniversary badges, badges from the old board, and any other images used across the whole site. They don't take up much space but as every page that's loaded tends to have many of them they use a lot of bandwidth. - Signature images are either hosted somewhere by the individual user, and/or are the badges mentioned above, which anyone can use. There's no option to upload signatures here. - Avatars are either hosted somewhere by the individual user, or uploaded directly to Proboards. There's no cost for the latter. - Images in posts are again either hosted somewhere by the individual user, or uploaded to Proboards and added as an attachment to the post. We have limited but generous free space for attachments - when we run out old / irrelevant images will be deleted to make space for newer ones. Attachments are uploaded full size, the software only displays a thumbnail version in posts initially (most likely to save on bandwidth by only showing the full size to those who request it). To see the full size version you just need to click on it, and my preferred method is to open in a new tab.
As for the banner, I didn't see it as substantially any different than our posting ranks or anniversary badges - all visible ways in which we differentiate between ourselves. It was intended as simply a way to acknowledge that a few people did something nice for us all. More fool me.
Drama of some kind follows just about everything I do here - too many people with too many views for me to ever please everyone. I'm used to it. Whatever. But it seems to me pretty sucky to make people who by pure chance happened to be in a position to help feel at all bad for doing so.
Eh. I don't do brief.

A few things. 1. I can't believe you let me get away with 'closing' a thread 2. We are all paid up with Fotki for the next 5 years - screenshot of the payment below (click to enlarge). 3. Everyone who contacted me to contribute said they could give at least $5, so I went with that figure and took up the offers from the first 18 Peas (which, full disclosure, means I only put in the odd $2 myself). Like I said earlier, . As a small gesture of acknowledgement, when on the desktop site you'll see a small "Site Supporter" badge above the usernames of those people, like this: 4. Y'all are amazingly generous. There were far more than 18 people who wanted to donate, so I ended up turning many of you away. A bunch of you offered more than $5, some even to buy me donuts or Amazon GCs! I so appreciate every one of you. 5. Thank you for trusting me - turning money down probably makes me a pretty poor scammer, but I'm aware of the less than positive history on the board in that regard, and even aside from that I felt pretty icky for even mentioning money, so I'm super grateful for the way you responded. TL;DR - Together, we're awesome

You're a good egg FurryP! We don't actually need a huge amount of space, the bandwidth is our biggest issue and any of the premium accounts come with unlimited bandwidth. So it's just the cheapest account I'd get, $92 for 5 years. As I said I'm fine to pay for a year at a time, have been doing that with Photobucket anyway. I have no actual idea how to do this in terms of getting the money to me / demonstrating that it was properly used, I'll figure that out if it looks like a goer. To that end, if you do want to chip in, just drop me a PM with a rough idea of how much you can donate. OTOH right now if you have money to spare, please consider donating to hurricane relief instead.

Since this thread is back, can someone tell me/remind me what the little anchor means? It says "This thread is falling", I think, but don't all threads eventually "fall", as in fall in popularity, as in fall off the first page, etc.? It just means that new posts (like this one ) don't bump it back to the top of the board. I just added it - I could have deleted today's posts and the thread would have dropped back to 2014 but I try to avoid deleting other people's posts unless really necessary.

Realistically, yes, this is a public message board. Anyone anywhere could be 'tracking' our posts and/or sharing them elsewhere for any number of purposes, and we'll never know. That's just the nature of the internet. You say both are at fault but you are only telling Zookeeper what she has to do to essentially not be aware that it's happening. No, I told both zookeeper and Olan how to avoid the interactions with each other that they don't want. Olan is in the wrong here. She's taking what we say and sharing it outside of this group for the sole purpose of causing trouble. Maybe I've missed something, but unless Olan actually said this it seems like huge leap. There's no doubt that if that continues, at some point we will have an influx of people coming in to cause problems just like when the pit bull owners or the WW members did. If that (and in this instance I took 'people' to mean 'trolls') happens, we'll deal with it.

Well, I'll go on the record and say that I think both parties are in the wrong here to some degree. I don't believe that anyone has the right to police who can post where, or who can like what. What you can do is block the members that you don't want to interact with in some way. If you don't want to know when they like your posts or quote you, use the block function and choose "Block notifications from this member". zookeeperIf you don't want to see their posts use the block function and choose "Hide this member's posts". Blocking isn't irreversible, you can still click on a button on each individual post to read it, it just becomes an intentional choice. OlanIf the block function isn't working properly, please provide me with details. I know that the "Block this member's threads" option is spotty, because it is implemented in a different way to the rest, but the others should work reliably and if not I need to take it up with Proboards so they can fix it. If this happens to you, please send me screenshots of your block settings and the notifications/posts that you're seeing when you shouldn't. If you've done all those things and you're still being subjected to behaviour that you feel reaches the level of harassment, then of course you should report it to me and I will review carefully to decide if action is needed. Where I'm less sympathetic is when individuals want me to intervene but aren't themselves prepared to use the tools available to them.
