The formatting buttons - including the one to add a link to sites without messing up the thread formatting - seem to have completely disappeared, whether you reply to post, use "quick reply" or start a new thread altogether. I think this dates from that week when the entire forum formatting went skew-whiff for a while.
I don't know why, but I suspect we're using a pretty old version of forum software.
Edit - I just looked on my phone (iPhone, using Safari) and I see the formatting buttons are still there if I want to respond to a post (and presumably start a new thread). Must be something to do with just the desktop version of the forum software.Comment

I thought I would have a look at my mobile version (google pixel 7 + chrome) and there are no formatting buttons.
Also, no formatting buttons with Firefox on my phoneLast edited by RogueSwan; 8 May 2023, 09:39 AM."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!." Beerman 18-07-2017Comment

I just noticed that the formatting buttons - including the one to safely add links to certain sites - seem to have returned (at least on my Edge-using PC).Comment

I need to migrate to VB5. VB4 is no longer supported, so over time it's going to become more unreliable.Captain, I am detecting large quantities of win in this sectorComment

About 10 days ago I started having problems with slow loading of the RWO website. I have been getting a connection timed out message after 30 seconds. I can usually get the website to load eventually, but there is definitely something wrong. I haven't noticed any other computer problems during this period. I am having this problem on different devices and operating systems, but haven't tried it out using a different wifi.
I am just tying to narrow down the problem and am wondering if there has been some change with the RWO system that might account for this.
Thanks.Comment

Tapatalk is not a viable option on a desktop (short of running some sort of emulator). As with AB Swannie, "reply with quote" not working on desktop (in my case Chrome and Firefox) but working on Safari on iOS (albeit with a slight workaround which is to go to the "Go Advanced" button.Comment

List Management thread broken by a member posting a link incorrectly.Comment

It actually wasn't caused by an incorrectly posted link, but by a weird bug that no-one's been able to guess the cause of whereby quoting a post with a correctly provided link from troublesome source sites sometimes causes the thread to get messed up.
It's one more thing for people to think about - if they remember (not always top of mind, I understand). If you quote a post with a link (particularly a link from a Fairfax site or from the ABC), delete the linked url.
Anyway, Meg's fixed this one up.Comment

On the desktop site, clicking "preview post" before "submit reply" is a good habit to get into. If there's an issue with your post you'll see it, and you can then just click the back arrow to return to editing and try to fix it.
I don't use the mobile versions or Tapatalk so I don't know if there's something similar for them.Comment

My sincere apologies as i've just screwed the "List Management" thread after posting a link from "THE AGE" on Paddy's retirement. Can an administrator please fix up. Thankyou!Comment

Sorry that the site's been a bit unreliable recently.
It goes through phases of "freezing" at 11am each morning. Some days it resets itself after a few minutes. Other times it requires a server reboot. Sometimes it behaves itself for months on end, before going into this freezing cycle.
I don't always remember to check at exactly 11am, so if it's in a "misbehaving mood", it will probably stay down until I (or Danzar) notices.
Today, for some reason, it's been especially temperamental. Maybe it's the heat. Maybe it's a response to today's sad news. But I've had to reboot three times. Already. Maybe more to come.
If you pop in for a visit and find it down, please don't give up coming. Just pop back a little later.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.
14) Vistitors from other sites
You are most welcome to join in discussions on RWO, but remember, you are a GUEST on our site. Abide by the RWO Forum Rules or we WILL ban you.
15) Guidelines regarding Visitors to RWO for RWO members.
Be nice, not all visitors are trolls.a) If they annoy you, ignore them. They want a reaction. Don't give them one.
b) If they are abusive, report them. We will consider banning them. Don't stoop to their level.Bottom line
You are a guest on RWO - You are expected to play by the rules of the house.
