Hi all, Has anybody else been missing "reply/comment" button from "Encouraged fields" thread since debate got a bit heated?

If you mean this thread - all buttons are where they should be. Magda | | |

I still see it. How about the "Quote" button? Do you see that? Maria | | |

The only one I got is "Link". The rest of them have disappeared after 27th post. After which we got Henry's inputs when I thought they would reappear. | |

by which link do you enter the thread? (please copy it here). After Henry's post there is one more page of answers. Magda

Giles Watson posted in that thread at 8:37pm so he could also see the buttons (like I do). Please consider submitting a support ticket, there may be a technical problem here. Regards, Enrique | | |

Everybody else who's answered your question in the negative is a valued "member". The opinion of "users" as usual appears to be of little value to ProZ. Fine with me, but has ProZ management checked with their marketing department about the importance of "unique visitors" and "page impressions" when it comes to advertising revenue? | |

The opinion of "users" as usual appears to be of little value to ProZ. Fine with me, but has ProZ management checked with their marketing department about the importance of "unique visitors" and "page impressions" when it comes to advertising revenue? I don't see the need for such a sarcastic posting. First of all, I think that this statement: The opinion of "users" as usual appears to be of little value to ProZ.com. is unfounded. Rad posted about his problem and two moderators and a staff member replied to him within minutes. He was asked to submit a support ticket just like any other person (user or member). If you are having the same problem then it might be a bug related to membership level, and I'm sure this information will be very useful to the developer who will be assigned to fixing the issue. So thanks for your posting, although I'd rather you'd given us this info in a more constructive way instead of adding off-topic generalized accusations. As a paying member I would like to receive better service than a user. I don't think this is unreasonable; I am paying for the service. Yet I don't see how I could get better or faster service than this (i.e. a reply from staff in the forum within minutes, even though the question shouldn't have been submitted in the forum but in a support ticket in the first place).

That forum in particular is members-only | Dec 28, 2007 |

Thanks Maria, I had not considered the membership status of the visitors to the thread. In fact this is not a bug. Sorry for asking Rad to submit a ticket, I had overlooked the fact that Gerard selected for his thread a forum that is exclusive for members, as can be seen in the index page for the fora: ProZ.com Membership Forum for full members of ProZ.com to discuss membership.
I have contacted Gerard asking for his instructions about the thread: to keep it there or to move it to an open forum, such as Translators Coop. Regards, Enrique | | |

Dear all, When I posted about the shortcomings of the commercial side of this site, I didn't even know about members-only threads. I felt rather proud that bleu ribbon members stepped out to support me. Now, Enrique has pointed out to me that I can port my thread to a forum where anyone can react. No way, you'll have to pay to join the fray. Regards, Gerard | | |

Does really anyone expect me to pay $129 just to express my opinion? Don't think so. My membership expired last month and I didn't renew it. Seems to be rather good move considering what's happening. Rad | |

I admit I thought the same - I had wanted to post a minor aside the community is probably blessed to have been spared, and when the button wasn't there, my immediate reaction, having seen many locked threads over the years, was "confound it all, they've done it again"..... Not "bug". Not "oh, hang on, I don't pay any more, perhaps that's why". But "oh lord, more clamping down on controversy". Clearly, I was not alone. Really, someone, somewhere could perhaps have a wee think about the perception of the way the site is run.... ▲ Collapse | | |
The original thread is free for all | Dec 29, 2007 |
No clamp down on controversy, this particular thread was started in a members-only forum, but the original one where the announcement was made is part of the Translators Coop forum that is, like almost all the forum sites, open to all. Feel free to visit it and express your controversies, or to open a new thread on the issue. Regards, Enrique | | |
Something isn't right here | Dec 29, 2007 |
1. By his own admission, Gerard didn't know about member-only threads, so he couldn't have opted for it. 2. Rad confirms that until the 27th posting, all the buttons were visible. Strange, very strange. | | |
