I'll be restoring from the latest back up from over a week ago because the SP update is buggy. I can't roll it back because of rebuilding the database.
Hopefully I can update at a later date when Simple Press debugs the update.

I think the videos may be part of what has been fixed, maybe? I have a temporary youtube I posted in my blog, no text editing or coloring and it is fine. I looked at some old posts, and theirs are fine too. They were not visible before, just white space. But I, obviously, did not check them all. Just random as I looked at the old posts. 

I actually tried changing the color before and not would not take. Weird. But, maybe that was because it was when the you know what hit the fan, 😂. Thanks for sharing this with everyone. 👍

@Mouse - 

HEY!  THAT'S SOME VOODOO MAGIC! 😮 

I swear they weren't working when I typed that post!  

FABULOUS, ALL FIXED!  

 

If you want to color a video link, it has to be linked as text (first) like I described - then highlight & pick a color.   I have never been able to colorize a URL, though.  

I'm deleting the post, now that they are fixed.

@ELCBK Maybe keep these posts for now until we are positive? Can't hurt. We can delete them when everything is fixed.

It is nice that the notification you were mentioned in a post at the top now deletes. Some people call them shoutouts, others cll them callouts. I guess it depends on if you are hard of hearing.

The forum groups still do not expand or collapse. If you need assistance getting to a room, PM me, or if you have my email, email me. I have a workaround. You may or may not be logged in when I get to it, so make sure you

If you see a post in the recents in that group, click that post and you can work your way back to the exact forum room you want. If there is no recent post in that group, let me know.

let me know which forum group/room you are trying to get to.

Thanks you.

@Mouse - 

I'm not having any problems with the Topics - they are all visible & I can click on them to see/open individual threads under each topic.  

Is that what you are talking about?

@ELCBK I am talking about the forum main page. IE New Members, Learning Violin /Fuddle, Teaching, The way we play. If those groups have been collapsed, the arrow in the right will not expand them so you can see the post,,or additions, rooms within that group.

I am leaving my expanded, but, sometimes when I get back to the forum, after a while they are all collapsed after a while. I can help you expand those groups.

I use it to make it quicker to scroll when I don't want to go to the bottom. I chase spammers round, 😂😂😂. But, they don't work yet. I have them all expanded, now, but once in a while, when log in or view as a guest, when I get back to the forum, they are collapsed, or if I refresh, they collapse.

I’m sure plenty of work went into this, and it all looks just fine to me. All we need is more people and more interesting things to think about!

Couldn't agree more. We used to have way more traffic many years ago. I'm not exactly sure why it diminished so much, but it might have to do with me.
I'll try to be more regular. 🙂

I appreciate you guys sharing as much as you can whenever you can. Hope that get way more legitimate traffic moving forward.

Thanks to all you dedicated members for keeping the forum active.

No, it's just the nature of forums - when new they attract lots of people, a lot of whom are just vaguely curious, then they gradually drop away.

@Fiddlerman - 

It IS YOU, Pierre!!!  

The forum lights up like crazy with members when you make a few appearances!  

AND... crazy amount of involvement from many (otherwise silent) fiddlers, when you mention 'New Fiddlerman GP'!!!
