I am curious on how many members have been told that their threads are going to be closed? I just got a PM from a member accusing me of closing her thread. Now we all know i am not a moderator, and not much liked here, but i have no power what so ever to do this. I hope that mods. Are notifying OP's that their threads are being closed and was a mistake...as I was not very happy about being acused of this...

Yes, only moderators can close a thread. So, whoever accused you of doing it, does owe you a big apology.

I honestly can't answer that. I have never closed a thread. So, it never has come to my thought.

I sent a message to Yvonne. Somehow, it was also sent to you. It wasn't intentional. In fact, I am baffled as to how that happened.

I went to reply to my own thread and it said it had been closed. So, I went and messaged Yvonne (she did get the message, too), went on about my day and came back to this mess.

FYI, my thread is now open for comments, again. This forum is acting screwy.

Josh goes through and occasionally closes threads that are old and have not had any activity in a certain length of time.

If we close a thread because it has turned into something that we don't want to see here on the Forum, the moderator that does the closing will post it in that thread, something like - "the question has been asked and answered. All you're doing now is re-hashing over old arguments. The thread is being closed."

But we don't simply close a thread for no reason. I have a sneaking suspicion that all the problems we're having lately...pictures not posting, PM's not being sent, pictures not opening, etc. have to do with the app and cell phones. But don't quote me on that. We never used to have this much trouble before everyone started using their phones to access the Forum.

I don't understand. What was uncalled for? The thread wasn't closed, it only appeared closed to Shellyturtletort. The fact that the PM went to you as well as to me, who knows why that happened. Your name wasn't put into the "to" section on purpose. Has anyone ever noticed that when you start to type in a name in a PM the computer program automatically adds names that you haven't typed? I've sent quite a few PM's to other members who's names start like Jacqui's does because I didn't pay attention to the dumb auto-fill. I know there's a big difference between "Yvonne G" and "mainey34" but I'm betting that's what happened. It was the auto fill.

You received a PM that wasn't meant for you. No one's fault. No need to get all excited about it. Move on.

It was uncalled for that i got that email. And if my name wasnt on the to section, then it was done intentionally. Would you like me to forward you the email????

I didn't send it to you intentionally. I'm not an idiot. I know you aren't a moderator... I would not and did not intentionally send you a message. It is unfortunate that you received the message but I did not intend for it to be sent to you.

Halloween. We have a tortoise forum goblin playing games on apps and stuff. PMs I sent still say N/A (not sent) but the person did respond to one, not the other. (We ended up emailing each other). Yep, tricks are happening. No treats. Broo-ha-ha! : 0

Haha. It must be the apps!

I rarely get on my computer unless I'm messing with pictures... but I've never had any issues using my computer.
