Ok this automatic log-out is a right pain in the arse. Composing a PM and all of a sudden i’m being asked to sign-in.
Edit: Ok, im losing the will to live. Just hit submit to send the PM and i got this
Fatal error: Class ‘Jetpack_Protect_Math_Authenticate’ not found in /home/bbfuture/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules/protect.php on line 221
Finally a break and i could send the PM.

@chrisredditch, I’m sorry your post got deleted. mmm and I were trying to move it at the same time, not knowing the other was working on it, so things began looking and acting weird. I think I deleted your thread and Joe’s thread. Deleting Joe’s thread must have caused his forum link on his blog page for the song to get deleted too.
I had this information in a post to you in the thread I deleted. 
In case you haven’t found this thread, you might find it helpful The thread search thread . Also, Joe added a feature that may be of interest … if you click on the songs link at the top of the page and then click on a song, you will find a link to the forum thread on the song.

Jetpack is a component of WordPress that adds things like stats, contact forms, sidebar widgets. The protect.php function is designed to stop spambots from visiting their site, and the math_authenticate thing shows on the login screen if people choose the wrong password (it’s to help prevent brute force attacks).
In this case something went awry, I know not why. And now I’m a poet.
The Jetpack module Protect
Did not work as I’d expect
And the maths problem captcha

Offline More weirdness @Joe.
I’m getting emails that i have PM’s but nothing is there. I thought it was a glitch with the system but i sent a PM and thats not even in my folder. The settings in profile options are correct.

If you send a PM in a PM thread and it doesn’t work, just make a new PM thread.

Offline I’m on Joe’s iPad. I chose log on from the drop down menu, put in my user name and password, but after clicking on log in, it didn’t show me as logged in. I tried again. No go. I chose a random thread from the new/unread drop down menu. When that page loaded, I was logged on. If this has been mentioned before, please pardon the duplication. I had just never had that happen before.

Yep it is the log in glitch. It has been there for a while.

Offline Isn’t it that you cant delete what you send so that should remain? The one i sent has gone.

Offline @meanmistermustard Myself and @fabfouremily tested this last year when I discovered my half of a PM conversation with her was missing. If the person in receipt of a PM deletes it, it is also deleted for the the person who sent it.

Offline Yes but you cant delete what you yourself send and so the other person who i pm’d cannot delete what they sent and i certainly havent. You see?

Offline So it’s the whole conversation – both sides – that’s gone, @meanmistermustard? It’s just you said, “The one i sent has gone.” If both sides have gone, that shouldn’t happen. So, yeah, weird thing happening with the forum.

Offline You might notice some posts have a negative timestamp, eg “posted -2955 seconds ago”. I’ve been changing the timezone settings to finally try to get the birthdays to show correctly. I’ve now changed this site’s timezone from London to Chicago, which is where my server is located. The information should correct itself in an hour or so, with a bit of luck.

Offline To follow this up, I think I’ve fixed a long-running problem with birthdays. I’ll try to keep this explanation simple but bear with me.
I can set the timezone for the entire site/forum, and individual members can also select a personal timezone when editing their forum profile.
For a while I had set the site’s timezone as London, because I’m based in the UK. I’ve since been advised that it’s better to set it to wherever the server is located, which is Chicago. I made that switch yesterday, as per my earlier post.
When I logged in this morning it was still showing my birthday as today. The problem was that the script to show people’s birthdays was only running once a day, in this case at 00:01 CDT (server time). If it was someone’s birthday at that precise time, it stayed in the forum stats section for 24 hours until the script triggered again and the info got updated.
Now, at 00:01 CDT it probably was still my birthday, but it isn’t here and now in the UK. And because we have users right around the world, it’s likely that a good proportion of people were having their birthdays displaying either early or late.
I mentioned this to Simple Press, and they fixed it so the script runs every hour instead of once daily. I hope this means people’s birthdays now display with greater accuracy wherever they are in the world.
If you haven’t already, please set your correct timezone in your profile (if it matters to you). You can do this by going to /forum/profile/ and choosing the Options tab then Edit Display Options.
I know some people have also set their birthday a day early or late to counteract the display/script oddity, so please don’t do this any more (again, if it matters to you). You can set your birthday by going to the same link, Profile tab, then Edit Profile.

JoeI say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.
