Potrail2378 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Hi, maybe I'm missing something, but whenever I post a subject (usually in the DCC section), and someone replies, then am I supposed to get a notification that there has been a response?Not that it's too much of an issue, but I would prefer it if I got a notification, rather than log on to look and find there's nothing to look at. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howbi Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 No such luxury I'm afraid, we have to log each day to check for any replies...........HB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 This forum software is completely custom to Hornby and lacks many features and functionality that is commonly found in commercial 'off the shelf' forum software. Post 'Notifications' and 'Private Messaging' are two serious oversights by the original Hornby forum software developers in my opinion. There are many other things that this custom forum software doesn't do that is standard in commercial 'off the shelf' versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinB Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I am surprised they wrote their own, I thought everyone used the "off the shelf" stuff. That explains the lack of spell checker and "real time" updates. Even so, that is still a lot of work to maintain the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 That explains the lack of spell checker....... As you can see in this screen shot below. My Windows 10 PC and Firefox browser provides a 'spell check' function of the Hornby forum. Friends purposely misspelt as Freinds ... see how it is underlined in red to indicate the incorrect spelling and the right click pop-up offers me the correct spelling in the screen capture of this post below: /media/tinymce_upload/3879b65e4202aebf6907ac418e048f1c.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
