Embedded images in msgs seem to be broken (at least on my table). As far as I can tell all messages area affected.
I want to announce my local diabetes support group meeting but I canāt find out how to add an event. How do I add an event?
It has been reported that Events have times in the event title but it is unclear whether these times are EST, PST or the local time. It turns out the title gives that PST. We should probably consistently mark title times as PST.
@Jen We just added some labels to the composer and other areas where they were missing. Those new labels are live here on the site, so have a look and let me know if we still missed something.
The composer ābutton, button, buttonsā labels also include the keyboard shortcuts for them, so that should be handy.

Hello! This is quite amusing! Yesterday I logged in to see the videoconference. I was on my profile with usual profile pic. But on the chat I was someone else. Another picture and no longer Mari5 but Mari. I refreshed several times before seeing the videoconference but it was OK although I could no longer see the chat and not even answer the people who said HI! What a shame! I guess they thought I was someone else anyway! This morning no chat but maybe it will come in a little later? Iāll now go in and out to see if It appears!
For days, Iāve had a lot of 503 pages but Iām not going to talk about that Iām sure that will get solved. Just wanted to share the funny experience. Best wishes to all and especially the team who is taking care of the site who must be tearing their hair out! (I hope not) Mari5
Iāve been following the word association thread for a while but it kind of complicates things now that the minimum posting is set to 20 characters - not too many words are that long.

The suggestion so far has been to pad out your word with ānonsense charactersā. But an alternate approach which may be less visually distracting might be to pad using emojis.
Discourse appears to count characters in the simplest way possible. An emoji is not a single character but rather the sum of all the characters in the emoji raw text. So adding 
adds 13 characters of ātextā because the raw markup text for the emoji is :arrow_right: which is 13 characters.
Any word you placed between arrows ā¦ 
ā¦ would be ālong enoughā since Discourse counts each of the 25 characters of the raw ā:arrow_right::arrow_left:ā emoji markup text in your post.
Of course, any other other emojis would work just as well as long as the total text exceeded the minimum. For example, this emoji 
has the markup :part_alternation_mark: which is 26 chars long. So just by including it you automatically are well past the ā20 character limitā. 
Longer term I feel a better approach would be to find a better venue for the word association game than as a forum topic.The reply history of anyone who actively plays the Word Association game is filled almost entirely with posts to it. Using a topic to play this game really is an immense ugly kludge.

Cannot log on with my Win7 machine running Ex11
All of my mac computors and IPhone run the site without any big problems.
I still cannot change my email address. The field for changing is shown, when I use āNeed to change your password?ā, but is greyed out and not changeble.The button āClick here to update your emailā doesnāt help too.
This is definitely a recognized problem. The will absolutely have to be fixed. If we cannot change our email contacts we will be in a serious sense of woe.
I canāt change my country of residence which is pinned and incorrect. Grrr.
There are some major problems with password reset. I hope @neillll, @Emily_Coles and @mrmikelawson can help us get this fixed as soon as possible. On my machine under Chrome and Firefox I get the following fatal error when attempting to reset my password:
In Internet Explorer I donāt even get the Log-in/Log-out button or the reset password button.
Users have been reporting problems and @Stemwinder_Gary and I donāt have an answer to give users
Anybody?
the last couple of days i have to log back in frequently.

My profile page exposes my email addressā¦is that only visible to me or anyone? If anyone, may I just delete it from my profile? Thanks.
itās only visible to you.
Oh LORDY! What a good time weāre having!! wink I canāt possibly thank you all enough for your patience, and for having the dedication and tenacity to report the problems youāre having so we can address them! I know itās pretty frustrating.
Looking at most recent additions to this threadā¦
@Jorg1 and @Brian_BSC the email reset field had to be disabled for reasons relating to integration of the two platforms. Weāve been discussing a work-around for the issue and have decided to create a link people can use to let me and/or our admins know when they want to change the email address associated with their account, and what they want to change it to, and weāll do it manually for them. That link is not yet enabled, but will be soon. If you want to change yours please send me a PM with the new one and Iāll do it for you.
@Pastelpainter to update/change the personal information on your profile:
- go to your profile page in the forum (e.g. from where you are right now)
- click on āpreferencesā
- scroll down a bit and click the blue link āedit personal informationā
- you are now on the right page to change your country of residence! Click āupdateā at the bottom of the page when youāre done.
@Brian_BSC Thank you for the screenshot of the āfatal errorā you get when trying to change your password! Iāve called our developersā attention to the issue. Itās clearly a crucial one!
@phoenixbound I have also called our developersā attention to the fact that members are still having issues with login and logout. Theyāll be looking into it ASAP.
You guys are the best!! Hang in thereā¦ weāll get it all working smile
Thanks Emily, I was able to alter my profile, could not see where to do it before.
