Here being Feedback.

One problem: at least half of OzPol members are banned from Feedback. What are that half of members supposed to do, PM FD?

What about time limits for bans from Feedback eh?

There is 'feedback'? Where is that?

I have asked twice for the Favorites and Notification buttons to be enabled on my account and the khunt won't even acknowledge the message.

Anyway, I got a PM telling me that FD was half aboriginal. It that true?

Thanks for the tip.

Favourites does not work even after the change. Last changes to the favourites was three years ago, before I got so disgusted with the content here, that I left for a year or so.

But FD did not respond to two PM's asking for assistance. Does he only help white people?

Where do you find favourites?

I think FD is an equal opportunity ignorer, don't take it personally. Unless you want to.

What is it supposed to do? Have you used it elsewhere? Like I said, I've never used them so no idea but if you enlighten me, I'll see what I can find/do.

Shame the forum does not support screen shots.

When it worked, you could;

1. Click Add to Favourites on a thread.
2. Go to My Profile>Posts>View my Favourites

Max 20 of them.

Worked really well to stay in contact, better than scanning Recent all the time.

You can take a screenshot and attach it to your post. Print screen works in Windows doesn't it?

I did what you said and I now have a "Favorites" in my posts but unlike you I can see them.

I'll try it, not sure if it relies on the browser allowing pop-ups. Might have to test it in an unmolested browser to be sure.

As a matter of interest, what's that fence thing in front of Ayers Rock represent?

That was added in mid 2017 when the possible closure of Uluru was being discussed (after I did a Wayback Machine search) before Uluru was closed in 2019:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-50151344

Quote:

Huge crowds scrambled up Australia's Uluru for the final time on Friday, ahead of a ban on climbing the sacred rock.

The giant monolith - once better known to visitors as Ayers Rock - will be permanently off limits from Saturday.

Quote:

In 2017, the board of the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park voted unanimously to end the climb because of the spiritual significance of the site, as well as for safety and environmental reasons.

The Covid virus images were added not long after the pandemic started in 2020.

I also found the 'original logo' from the Wayback Machine. :)

Good to see that FD gets really pissed at anything remotely first nations friendly.

He better get his big boy pants on when the Constitution is reviewed.
