What is going on?

Suzie40 profile image
26 Replies

I have worked out that I can't read or reply to any posts that have the little padlock next to them. I've tried logging out and logging again but it still doesn't work! So as it stands I have no idea what Bev bought me, or what she looks like, or who the four people who replied to my post earlier are! It's driving me nuts. I don't want to create a new profile as ai have been a member for over two years and I want people to be able to see that. Any ideas?

Lucy no it's nothing to do with following anyone. Following anyone

Is a different thing and has nothing to do with answering.

Lucy I see Bevs Post has a lock as its thus community. I can reply and you

Cannot. Best to report it to admin. I had problems earlier too so maybe

It's a site problem.

You logged in and out and all that. Maybe clear your browser and close all

Windows. Then try signing ing again.

Tried all that. I can reply fine to my own thread here, because I unticked the padlock. Sam's idea hasn't worked either. Have reported it to HU admin and hopefully they can sort it out ...

Is action on Depression one? If so select that and try again.

Hello Lucy

The padlock is a locking device that you set when you only want signed in members to read your messages.

Just been looking for the thing and was wondering if you select it when you write a post, as it stops people who are casual visitors to the site. I cannot remember where we choose it although it is not on your page at this time. Just returned on site earlier been away

Yes, it's dead easy to do a post and then make it just for one community instead of public, you have to choose.

Padlock?? I've never seen that as far as I know. Maybe it's in the settings, either yours or theirs? I would ask admin to take a look.xxx

Sue you know when you do a Post the last option is

For Community

Or

Everyone .

When you select Comminityy it automatically puts a Padlock logo on

That Post so it means it can then only be read by a member of this Comminity.

Hope I'm not telling you Somethung you already know, if so apologies.

I'm off to bed . Good night all, I'm feeling so much better today and

Had a good day. Which is great.

Goodnight Sue.

go to Support, help centre and ask the tech people to fix it.

If you don't have the padlock "everyone" means that anyone on facebook, twitter, any search engine, can read a post and it's replies - scary! :-O
