The site should be fixed. We show secure now, we should have a favicon and the picture aspect should be better.

Announcement thread above every Forum

Post by PT7 » Mon Jul 16, 2018 6:30 pm

Greetings to all Admins! ;)

This may not be a Forum problem; I know something can always happen on my end due to trippin' thumbs.
But since I'm a solid non-techie type, have to ask anyhow.

When I select any Forum from the Board Index, there appears a block above the Forum Topics that is labelled "Announcements." It only has one thread in it titled "Hello from Alabama!", which is dated 7-14-18 (last Saturday).

I can't figure out the purpose of this Announcement. Can one of you Admins explain it to me? Or did I thumb something awry?Appreciate it.

I just realized that my moniker could be saying Poor Techie X 7 :lol:

I see the same thing. Odd thing we've had new members join before without an announcement occurring. I thought there might be an overlooked tool in my profile settings that could be used to generate an announcement. Found not-ta. I let it go figuring the announcement would eventually timeout and go away. Its only been 2 days.

I edited the post. It should only appear in the New Member Introductions forum now.

Thanks, CT_Shooter. So it was the post itself.
I'm glad to know my thumbs behaved. ;)

Thanks for that. Curious though about how it showed as an announcement?
