developer (ChrisB)

Still trying to figure this one out, just fyi, and happy Friday

A quick update (although not yet a solution). We’re working to solve the root problem, but until then:

• Avoid using the toolbar button to create a link; this seems to trigger the problem (replies are hidden, until manually approved by a moderator)

HUGE thanks to MarcH and Airscapes for their troubleshooting, which has led to this discovery.

Thanks all, for your great troubleshooting. It seems that any topic or reply that includes links is automatically removed until it’s approved by a moderator.

But I don’t know why this has started to happen. We run several anti-spam plugins, any one of which could’ve received a recent update that changes its behavior. So I’m in the process of…[Read more]

Just a note to say that, whatever is happening, it isn’t intentional. I’m looking into it, but don’t have any working theories yet.

Hi All – Quick admin note, to try and avoid any confusion. While I think this is a great thread, I (the “Developer” profile) didn’t originally create it. As it was from 2015, and we’ve updated our forum a couple of times, migrating old posts as we go, many of the old posts got reassigned to my profile as the original user no longer had an…[Read more]

I think this is one for a support ticket with the Wicked Edge team, https://support.wickededgeusa.com/portal/newticket.

I hope you’re able to get it back up and functioning soon.

Hi Keith – Welcome! It’s Chris, and I’m glad I could help.

I also used my WE on kitchen knives, for the most part. I’ve brought back-to-life a couple of cheap paring knives, and a 9″ butcher knife, and several in between.

Thanks for the input, we always appreciate it when forum members provide usability requests (for background, I help keep the forum up and running; and for usability, I’m in kind of a facilitator role, but not the decision maker, which is in Clay’s bailiwick).

For attachments, we’ve really emphasized making them usable as embedded content in the…[Read more]

Hi, just as an admin note from a forum moderator… This post made it in twice, and so I’ve closed the duplicate post.

Hi Todd, thanks for the feedback. That’s a good suggestion; I’ve disabled the recaptcha for logins for existing users. If it turns out that this allows a way for spammers to get in, we may have to reenable it, but here’s hoping it works.

Idea… We should add a field to link to youtube videos, or other video hosting, as I do see a lot of people post knife-specific videos. And then you take your settings (angles, progression, etc.) and add that to the form.

I think those fields are intended as ‘free text’ entries where you could a) put a quantitive value in the field, and b) explain that value in the corresponding field that allows notes. But, those are legacy fields that harken back to a previous version of the form, and they make not make sense in the current version.

Please everyone, send…[Read more]
