how do i get my saved post???

Hey Thorn Tree,

I posted a long reply on the Long Haul branch- or was trying to, anyway, and when I hit 'post message' it told me that there was an error and that I needed to input a title (but it was a reply, so it's not supposed to do that, right?). Because of that, I lost the whole message. Well, apparently, now your site saves messages as you go so I thought, well, it should be saved. So I went back to the thread, then back into compose, and there was no link saying that I could retrieve the message that was saved. So how do I get it back???? Do you have it on your servers, or something, perhaps?

Any help would be appreciated!

Steph

incorrect thread's posts sent to my email

Hey TT,

Today I got like 17 emails from a thread that I hadn't subscribed to, but, the weird thing is, the subject said that it was a thread that I had subscribed to. :| The text in the emails were from a different thread but from the same branch and some of the links linked to that thread, while others linked to the titled (subjectl) thread. The thread that was sent to me but that I hadn't subscribed to is called, "how do I get my stuff back?" The thread that I was actually subscribed to, with one link to it in the email, but recieved over a dozen notifications for, was the sticky thread at the top of the Long Haul branch: "The Long Haul - Living & Working Abroad" Obviously, both are in the Long Haul branch.

Hopefully this isn't too confusing. Thanks for fixing the problem :)

Steph

Country in Profile

Hello!
I've been a member of Thorntree for a while now and no matter how many times I edit my profile, it keeps saying that I'm from Bulgaria. When I go to edit my profile, it says that I'm from Canada (which is where I'm from) but when you click on my name in the threads, it shows up as Bulgaria. Is there anywhere of changing this?

Thanks
N

Searching one branch ONLY

Is there a way to do so? How?

Without this feature, search is irritating at best and usually useless. Is there some obvious way that I'm missing?

Please....

Can we have a new "latest poll" on the right side of the page? Or no poll at all? The current one must have been there for a year now and its driven me mad for all but the first two days of that year.
Thanks.

Post message stuffs up

Hi, quite often when clicking "Post message", the post doesn't get posted. The words (in the little box) disappear and you have to then go back, click on 'reply to thread' and redo the thing. This also happens when editing as well.

Not all the time mind, but enough that it's annoying. Anyone else had this problem?

Links not working sometimes

No matter whether I format a link manually with "[|]" or use the drop-down, sometimes the link and link text does not appear in my post. Other times it works normally. I haven't discovered any rhyme or reason for this. Very irritating.

Who's On tab

When viewing the 'Who's On' tab I noticed the country flag icon for opposite name is incorrect. The entry for country is correct in my profile. I've tried to find where I can correct this under 'My Profile', but I can't find anything. Is this a bug or is the error occurring in between the chair and the keyboard :)

Thanks,

PerArdua
