Hi, thanks for responding. Yes, whenever my comment disappeared after editing I’d go back to the main forum page and the time stamp was still there. It showed I had commented on that thread 5 minute ago for example, but when went to the thread and scrolled through for my comment it wasn’t there. Recently, I commented on this thread,
https://windstoneeditions.com/topic/ebay-buyingselling-issues/
edited my comment and it disappeared so I had to repost it again, which I noted in the reposted comment.
Thanks for your help.
August 16, 2017 at 5:13 pm #1528836I have had the same problem as Dragoneer_88. I tried posting photos of my unicorn colts on this thread on Aug. 11 and I had to edit it a couple times as I was having trouble with the photo sizing and when it said it saved my edits, the post completely disappeared. I had to try posting it several times before it would show up so I don’t know if mine was also flagged as spam but it took me maybe half an hour to get it to post and I was getting very frustrated. https://windstoneeditions.com/topic/june-30th-2017-safari-unicorn-colt-show-off-thread/page/20/
Looking for rainbow or pink & teal grab bags!
August 17, 2017 at 4:26 pm #1528898Wondering if anyone else had any issues with shipping? I thought that I clicked the button for USPS PM from the default of UPS, but my order is showing UPS as shipper. It’s too late to change it, so I guess I’ll have to wait longer for my wolf. 🙁
August 17, 2017 at 5:31 pm #1528902Oh Mary! I’m sorry. There were only a few with UPS shipping chosen and as usual, I assumed it was because it was preferred. Someone else let me know that they wanted USPS as well – so something was going wrong! I am wondering if, since you thought you’d changed the selection from UPS to USPS, if there’s a little hiccup in the clicking on the USPS choice and its giving you what is directly below or above instead? I’ve had the store do that to me on some other things – like I was maybe clicking before the page had completely settled into place and then my click went to the item above or below what I was trying to click on. We will see what Clay thinks next week. It could also be a little blip in the connection between our shopping cart and the source of the rate quotations – if you don’t see both UPS and USPS choices.
I am sorry! Other than that it seemed like the rush went well – the site was very slow for a while – but didn’t seem to mess anything up really badly.
August 18, 2017 at 5:09 am #1528936Thanks, Susie. I thought that I was going crazy. I did see UPS option and it was selected as “default”, but I thought that I changed it to the USPS button. However, during the sale I had a hard time logging into my account – it’d timeout and force me to re-do the login, then I had a couple ‘404’ errors and finally could complete the order after re-trying, but apparently by then it lost my USPS shipping option.
Oh well, I’ll have to wait a few extra days before seeing what GB I receive.
September 3, 2017 at 11:21 am #1529611There seems to be an occasional issue with the links to the most recent post on a forum or thread. Occasionally, it links to a completely different thread. For instance, right now this is what “community” looks like on the main forum list:
This is the link under “2 hours, 54 minutes ago”: https://windstoneeditions.com/topic/advice-on-life-have-any/#post-1529532
This is the top non-pinned entry in Community:
This is the link under “2 hours, 58 minutes ago”: https://windstoneeditions.com/topic/female-dogs-vs-male-dogs-whats-your-opinion/page/2/#post-1529604
That is StormDancer’s actual post. The link from the main forum listing goes to the first post in its thread, which was posted by Dragoneer_88:
I’ve been seeing this occasionally for a while now, but I hadn’t looked at the actual links before. As best I recall, it has always been the link on the main forum listing, never on the sub-forum listing.
My keyboard is broken. I keep pressing "Escape", but I'm still here.
October 7, 2017 at 7:27 am #1530449Is the “Search Ads” part of the Classifieds working? I tried it this morning and got no results for common items (poad, colt, and Grab).
October 17, 2017 at 6:55 am #1530707Is the search function of the website working? I was searching for something I know exists, but couldn’t find where it was located. The the search was negative no matter how I typed it. There must be a trick to using this fuction, because I have never been able to find anything using it.
My second question….Is anyone else having an issue with with thread subscriptions? I keep unchecking the box on the thread I no longer wish to follow, and as soon as I leave the page, the check mark reappears?? Head scratcher.

There are two separate search functions on the site. The search box in the site’s header (top right of each page) searches Windstone products and blog posts, prioritizing products in the search results. The forum has its own search function that searches only forum content. This one can be slow, as it has to search through thousands of forum posts. I just tested both searches, and they seem to be working normally.
As for unsubscribing to forum threads, what page are you on when you uncheck a subscription box? You can unsubscribe to any topic by clicking the “unsubscribe” link indicated in the screenshot below:
October 17, 2017 at 11:47 am #1530712Forgot to mention the third search function, which is in the Classifieds section, and searches only classified ad content. As far as I can tell, this one is also working properly. If you let me know which search you’re using, and what you’re searching for, I’ll try to be of more help.
October 17, 2017 at 12:03 pm #1530713Clay, I figured out what was going on with the “follow-up via email” check box. I must have checked the box while I was on a different device. I tried using my mobile phone, which is likely what I was using with I checked the box to begin with, and it seems to have stuck. I’ll let you know if I’m wrong.
Thank you for getting back to me about the search function. I wasn’t aware they were separate. They’re still a nightmare to use 😉

Sorry for the slow response, Etruscan. In my testing this morning, the Classifieds search is working normally. Are you still having trouble with it?

It seems to be working OK now, thanks.
October 17, 2017 at 2:43 pm #1530723It didn’t work, Clay. I can’t seem to uncheck that box. When the pages refreshes, the box is checked again. Must be haunted 😉

October 17, 2017 at 3:12 pm #1530724When I click on “in stock only” in the filters in the product categories it shows lots of items that are out of stock. Specifically I did this on the Grab Bag page.
