Joe made a song entry post on ‘Little Lamb Dragonfly’ today and put it as the first post of the thread. Before he created it, the last post on the thread made by Meaigs was from a year ago.

Thanks. Someone posted some spam which got deleted, and that’s why there was an empty space there. It’s a flaw in the forum code which I’m not able to fix, so I bumped an old thread to put something else in that space.

That looks like another bug/glitch. When I add a song feature I link to the page from the forum, and if there’s already an old thread on the song I merge the two. I then pin my post so it’s at the top, but it should really show up as the latest post in the feed. I’m not sure why a year-old post would be there when there’s a more recent one.

Speaking of which, now there’s two posts from 6 years ago on the front page now. Is it because of that same reason?

Maybe the walrus is the friends we made along the way

Yep. I don’t think there’s anything I can do about it, so best just ignore it.

Sorry if you tried to visit the forum and found it was blank. I had some problems with a third-party plugin. Hopefully it’s all sorted now, but I’ll keep an eye on things.

It worked fine for users who were logged in, but for everyone else the forum was unavailable.

The dropdown menu for the New/Recently Updated Topics topic won’t scroll to the top of the list for me.

I’m on my laptop on Chrome. Is this happening to anyone else?

It looks fine to me in Brave but not Chrome (MacOS). Sorry about that. I’ll have to see if I can isolate the cause.

The topic “The ??? Songs…” isn’t accessible. Clicking on it takes me back to the overall “The Songs” page.

Same happened to me even though I created it. It was a strange song from 1968 or something and I wish it could have shared.

Joe has been emailed by Ahhh Girl and he will look at it when he can. It probably will be down to a line of code which has broken.

Probably due to the question marks in the topic’s name. Try (whoever created it) to change the name avoiding question marks.

No, @Shamrock Womlbs . That didn’t fix it. 

Changed to: “The ‘Q’ Songs”

Then it seems like the url associated to the topic is not updated if you change the topic’s name.

When you created the topic wordpress just replaced all the question marks in the name with a ‘-‘ in the url so it looks like this:

https://www.beatlesbible.com/f…..the-songs/

And that url leads to the “The songs” section of the forum  which url is: https://www.beatlesbible.com/f…..the-songs/

Anyways, i think an administrator could update it manually with no problem.

Aye. You would need to fix the URL manually not just by changing the topic title. I don’t think having a ‘?’ is a problem, sometimes things just go odd – it’s happened before on here.

That doesn’t seem to be helping. Perhaps if you changed it to something without the phrase “the songs”. Maybe just drop the “The”?

The URL is set upon first submission, Joe has to change it. When the URL changes it throws all links to that thread/page out which is not good for the forum as then there are dead links all over the place. It may not even be the topic title. Leave it to when @Joe can look at it and figure out what the actual problem is.
