This thread won’t be up or in your face for long. The recent attempts to ruin more than just our hair prompted a few sudden re-workings, and we had to do them in a hurry — although the forums remain largely unchanged , and only improved upon. For example, new members can’t post or join until they confirmed their email, added an avatar, and their status by default is now “spectator” for 24 hours. A couple of other things were brought up and we want to give you a thread if you’re having an issue – say – with starting a topic, composing a reply, or anything like that. Here’s a little list of mentions, and if you’re experiencing anything odd, or even if you don’t like something, please just drop it here and we will look into it.

Trying to find out what’s most common so we can prioritize.

• Internet Exploder™ v.1o or 11 users (2 or 3 of them) have reported not being able to click a topic title in a forum. Try this: Click “MINIMIZE FOR MOBILE” (upper left of every forums page) and see the forums completely un-enhanced out of the box. If this makes the topic link clickable where it wasn’t otherwise, let us know. — OR — try a very new browser like Chrome / Firefox / Safari and see if that does it. We don’t care about IE v.9 or lower. But 10+ should work. Let us know if it doesn’t.

• Any issue creating new topic or reply? Only a “participant” can create topics and replies. For members who joined prior to AUG 21, that’s everyone. New members have to wait until we switch them to “participant”. But if you’re a participant and have a problem creating a topic or reply, do let us know using the contact form if you can’t rep[y to this.

•The new compose window got a rave review from many, but we did away with “the visual editor” to greatly reduce the number of replies that could be marked “spam” or “pending” by the filter — due to strange characters, questionable links, or junky looking text. A couple get held back in “pending” per day, so don’t be alarmed if one or two of yours doesn’t show right away. If you tried it TWICE, that’s what happened. So we will publish it ASAP. There is nothing in the queue right now.

Anything else? Got a gripe? Don’t search for the right words, just do the best you can to explain it and we will look into it if something isn’t quite right for you.

Thanks very much.

I am using Google Chrome. I was beginning to think I had been black listed 🙂 Maybe my Adam & Eve thing was bit over the top.

That’s what prompted my message! Another user emailed us about that. Wanted to know if it’s anyone else. Thanks for letting me know. I’lll get back on that ASAP but require a little patience. Big thanks for reporting.

Also verified that you have the capability. Since you tell me that you don’t see a “create topic” compose window, please take a second and visit…..

https://www.mgtow.com/forums/forum/answers/

…. and let me know if you still don’t see it. Then I will:

* Temporarily change your password
• Log in as you (so I can see what you see)
• And email you a new password reset link so you can set your password back again.

Have also just replaced the entire forums only 5 minutes ago – so we know it’s not a bit of code missing.

Here is a excerpt from an email I received involving a question I had:

“””””Q. Seeing as todays culture is constantly moving toward mobile application, do you, as a the leading “spokesMAN” of MGTOW, see this movement transitioning to the mobile platform as an application in the near future?

It would be best to think of us as “a website” and not one person who is a spokesperson for MGTOW.

MGTOW are.

We think of this website as belonging more to YOU – and ALL MGTOW – than to us.
We only constructed the building and mop the floors – so to speak.

But yes, we have some mobile in development but first our website is number one and still being developed with a mobile-first approach. There is MUCH work going on underneath the hood including some extended features nobody else has, and then we have plans to create some mobile apps. But first things first! over the last 2 weeks, someone tried to shut us down 5 times and our website went dark for some big blocks of time.They were unsuccessful, but we lost DAYS of production and we are quite exhausted at the moment – still trying to play catch up.

In any case. Welcome to MGTOW!”””””

as you can see, the site has been under much scrutiny in the recent days.
MERCH

You can take week at this I don’t care, I was sure I had something grand and important to say this morning but I can’t remember what it was now… Plus I am not sure if playing around with creative writing experiments belong in a forum. This is the first time I have ever joined one.

I have posted a few programmy things over at Code Project and Stack Overflow but that’s about it.

Then I will leave a note here when I am out of your account and email you so you can get back in.. More in a bit.

Thanks for getting back on this. More in a bit. I’ll take care of it,.

Shapshot is attached where you can see “Felix” is logged in (upper left) with all 3 browser windows open.
I have just send you a “password reset” link so you can get back in again.
Please change your password to something else.

Undo the setting by clicking the same button which will then change its label to “view enhanced”. This will display the forums in their most naked form, and will ensure you are seeing everything its default state. If a “create topic” option shows up in that display mode for you, please let me know and we can debug that. But otherwise other members are creating topics and replies just fine.
