And where the heck is the edit button?????

If I had to pick one "feature I dislike about the new format, it's the disappearance of the option to edit a post. Not only was this useful for correcting typos but also provided a way to add pertinent information that might one have forgotten to include in the post or correct a broken link.

These forums have always had a time limit on editing posts. There were problems in the past, even with a time limit, where some malicious people would alter their posts to purposely embarrass someone who replied. Also, the context and flow of replies in a topic is important, and editing a post can change that drastically.
The Edit button is now a little balloon-like icon to the left of "Reply". It is not labeled but a tooltip appears over it (and the other icons) if you hover over it.
Deleting the ability to delete was a mistake, in my opinion, and the return of delete has been requested.
Users who are at Level 3 and up have the ability to notify the mods of duplicate messages. However, apparently each user allowed this ability has to have his or her settings set individually, so not everyone able to can yet notify. Once that function is in place, duplicate posts will get reported. I always report them when I see them and I know that others do as well.

    Where the heck is the download button for the java update.
    I hate that everything on this web site is so **** hard to find.  It's irritating and anger provoking.  Nothing should be this **** difficult!

    Thank you for saying that. that's cute raccoon even if he's not supposed to be doing that. I am spending a lot of time on fb trying to help bird breeders in Asia, the middle east, India and other places to give their birds enrichment.  They call me names and say horrible things to me.  The birds are over crowded, have one perch, metal or brick walls and that's it.  They all have to sit on one perch shoulder to shoulder in some cases.  I try to work to save gorillas and elephants who are horribly treated in this country as well as others. Wolves, dolpjin and whales. Whales and parrots especially.  Parrots are my speciality.
    Thank you again for caring about animals. Did you know that recently an orangutan mother and her baby were captured because they reached for a piece of fruit? They beat her, tied her up, stoned her and then drowned her with her baby clinging to her side. They are also tying up female orangutans and letting men rape them one after another. They already have no habitat since it's all been cleared for palm oil palms so they don't have food and they are an endangered species. 
    Evil prevails on this planet and we are in a death spiral. If you want you can friend me on fb and you will see all my posts for petitions and other important information to try to give help to animals and the environment.

  • HT201304 Where the heck is the 'agree' button on new iTunes conditions e-mail

    Where the heck is the 'agree' button on new iTunes conditions e-mail ?

    I was certain that that couldn't be the problem because I could play music from my daughter's computer and she could play stuff from mine, so I was positive that home sharing was all set.  When I went through that article, however, I found that I had missed a step.  It's weird that you can access a family member's computer even though home sharing isn't set up entirely! 
    In any case, thank you very much for your time.  I'm embarrassed that the answer was out there, googleable, and even a page that I had looked at already, but you were incredibly gracious anyway.    Good karma to you, sberman!

  • I have photos in "My Photo Stream" in the Bump App. They say I must delete them from the "Gallery". Where in the heck is the gallery?

    I have photos in "My Photo Stream" in the Bump App. They say I must delete them from the "Gallery". Where in the heck is the gallery?

    Bad news I'm afraid. iCloud only keeps the last 30 days of photos. Your device will keep some old iCloud photos around - up to 1000 photos - but those ones aren't actually on iCloud any more. It's one of my pet hates about iCloud Photostream, and it has caused a lot of people to lose data. It's a very bad design decision on Apple's part.
    There are file recovery programs that might be able to recover the deleted photos from your handset, but I can't remember the names of any right now. Stop using the phone completely until you can run a file recovery program to maximise the number of photos it can restore. Preferably, switch it off completely.

    Look in the session bean (assuming that is where your underlying rowset is). Look in the _init() method for statements similar to the following:

  • Can you use Easynews to download movies etc to IMac and how and where do you save the files?

    Can you useEasynews to download movies etc to IMac and how and where do you save the files?

    From your Apple menu at the left end of the menubar, select "About this Mac." You get a window similar to this:
    1) The Mac OS version is just under the big "MAC OS X" line. Post what that says.
    2) We can start to figure out what iMac you have if you post what that the "Processor" line says.
    We need to find out because Apple's poor labling choices for this forum, intended for iMacs made before 2006, causes people with newer and much more capable Macs to post here by mistake.
    Without some info from you, it's much like your calling an auto mechanic and asking if you can use a certain part without telling him the make, model, or year of your car. Quess what his first question will be? Works the same here.

  • How and where do I access the most recent backup of my iTouch's calendar PRIOR to my auto-sync?

    How and where do I access the most recent backup of my iTouch's calendar -- prior to the recent auto-sync which lost 5 yrs. of info. on my calendar? I want to retrieve it.

    All you can do is restore from backup. To do that see the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    Also, turn off autosyncing so that when you reconnect the iPod to yuor computer the old backup does not get overwritten . To turn off go iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".
    iTunes only retains the most recent backup and updates it with the changes.
