Re: [OLD] We need you! Opt-in to transfer your discussion boards data
Thanks for letting us know @independent_. You're right, this is if you'd like your details for marketing emails to be transferred over. It's all a bit confusing as different teams need to ask for permission to transfer data! We're sending emails to volunteers, community members and then those who are subscribed to our marketing emails.
Doing both sounds like a good approach to be kept on the system
The community email for your accounts here will take a bit longer and we'll have everything ready by tomorrow hopefully. Thank you all for your patience!

Re: Recent comments & Drafts
Hello everyone! I come bearing tidings of great joy (tech updates)
Draft autosave: Something has broken here so the techies that maintain the software we use are investigating and will let us know of any new developments. We could fix it by switching the type of text editor we use, but that would come with accessibility drawbacks, so for now we're going to stick with BBCode until the issue resolves. We'll keep you all posted on that.
Timeout errors: These were related to a bug that has now been fixed, so you should see less of these. Some timeout errors are inevitable with any website so don't worry too much unless you're seeing them a lot more than usual.
Thread pages are empty: Turns out this is because the 'true' number of comments in the thread is higher than the amount you guys can see.
For a bunch of different reasons, sometimes posts are hidden from view. For short threads, that doesn't really matter because it's usually only one or two. However, for big threads like Count To 10k, the amount of hidden posts is high enough that it covers multiple pages. That's because the thread covers so much time and so many different accounts, so the hidden posts mount up.
That means you're seeing the 'true' number of pages for the discussion, but a much lower post count, which results in empty pages being shown at the end of the thread.
BUT, the most recent posts you can see are actually the most recent posts.

Re: my mum is seriously unwell again 😭.
That's good that they're in regular contact with you. I can understand how anxiety-provoking it is for you to show up to that hospital. Only do something if you feel comfortable to. We are here for you @eylah
Re: my mum is seriously unwell again 😭.
I cannot fathom what that must feel like for you Eylah- keep holding out hope. I'm presuming the hospital is in frequent contact with you at the moment about how she is. Are you allowed to go and visit her at all?

Re: my mum is seriously unwell again 😭.
I am sorry to hear this @eylah you're being so brave right now. I know that probably no words of reassurance could settle your mind at this time, but just know that she is in the best place for her. Keep us updated with how she is getting on and keep reaching out for support.

Re: Relationships
@TheNightmare Some advice I can give you is that your better to focus on doing things you enjoy and carrying on with your life and perhaps you will meet someone within those activities. That’s a great way of starting a relationship with a few things in common. Heartbreak is hard but there is a possibility of it, but you can only try your best in a relationship and give it your all. That is the only way that a relationship stands a chance of surviving. Some girls height might be important but to others it doesn’t it’s about the personality and how well you get along. I personally have no problems with height, being above average height compared to other girls, I am usually taller than the guys I am around. Hope this helps! And I hope you find someone that’s just right for you!
