Member mouse over user name info pop-up feature gone?

Jerry,

Has the mouse over member name info popup feature been removed? One thing that happens with that feature missing is new direct messaging doesn't work.

It doesn't work anymore on my computer. Maybe it just doesn't work for me anymore. That wouldn't surprise me much. I'm so lovable. lol

Still works for me.

It's not working for me, either...

@grandpaul (test)

NOPE...

It does highlight as underlined when you point at it, but does nothing when you click on it...

Thanks for making me look bad. Kidding

Hmmm, it's been dead on my machine for 2 days. Maybe MS Edge decided to turn it off for me, or hell if I know. I guess I'll shut down, unplug, replug, restart and give it another go.

I am trying to fix it. Stay tuned.

I have not fixed it properly yet. There is a code issue. I will let you know when to check.

Well fortunately I don't know what's really going on. Seems close enough.

Speaking of this direct message thing. So it is not possible for a VIP member to send a non-VIP member a direct message?

I sort of understand it not working the other way around, but shouldn't VIP members be able to harass (I mean communicate with) anybody that isn't intentionally ignoring them?

I will get back to you later about this. I am still trying to fix other issue.
Now- NON VIP cannot use messaging system, they see a message there explaining that. I probably need to do something different some time.

I fixed the popup window issue (please confirm). I caused that. As you know if you are a VIP then you get to see the members list. That is not visible to normal registered or unregistered users. So the way it was being handled was to show a 403 page to non VIPs and bots. This is not good to see hundreds of these 403, broken link pages (member pages) in my seo logs. So I programmed it to redirect to a page instead of 403 hard stop. This is the right way to do it and now my logs will be clean. It screwed up that popup for some reason.

Next: As you know DM (messages) were disabled for normal registered members due to scammers contacting members about ads. I disabled them a few months ago. This was not working, as VIP members cannot DM registered members. I have now re-enabled DMs for normal registered users. I have programmed it so new members have to write 5 posts before they can use the DM messaging system. I think between us we can tell if there is a scammer lurking this way.

I have been fixing and removing broken links from old posts. They are nearly all old eBay links (broken links). I am going to try and monitor uploaded links more when I am done fixing all the broken ones (hundreds). Any threads with ebay links will get moved to that forum, where they auto expire, so I dont have to worry about them.

I am working on the "Resources" section too. I am re-doing it so its not as "clunky".

Stay tuned!
