First I have to sign in multiple times to be able to access the entire site.
I log in, it shows my name, but in Discussion’s I have to hit reply on any topic and then sign in again to see which topics are new.
I go to flight tracker and I have to sign in again.
As for the Discussion / Flight Tracker - if your in Discussion section and you enter a flight or tail number - it won’t work - you have to click ‘live flight tracking’ then re-enter the flight tail number - which by then I’ve forgotten and have to repeat the process.
And editing posts - any idea why can’t I edit my posts anymore?? Very frustrating for example the B707 crash last week - aviation sites reported the wrong tail number - within seconds of me posting the incorrect tail number, I received verification of the correct number.
However I was unable to correct, delete, or amend the incorrect data. I hit the little red icon and requested FlightAware remove the incorrect data - but a week has gone by and nothing??
Seems as FlightAware has expanded it is becoming less user friendly??
This works for me; Log-in, then click on “Board Index”. The threads with new messages will appear correctly highlighted and I don’t have to log-in a second time.
Been like that since they upgraded the forum software a couple of weeks ago. I’ve made mention of it a couple of times since. Seems you get about 5 minutes to edit after posting a message, and then the button goes away.
I guess we’ll have to post additional messages to add or correct information in original messages.
It’s a feature, not a bug. There’s an option to only allow editing for a short period after posting to prevent shenanigans. That said, we’ll revert it to allow unlimited edits.
