Can not access a files comment section

[Lisnpuppy]

I think there are eddies in the wash.

 

Nivea-I didn't see the stuff, but it does seem counter-intuitive that someone would sticky so many post in one thread. I hope that it gets investigated to see if there are errors in the system.

 

I am sorry that this is causing so much angst and that once resolved, if needs be amends are made.

Nivea has PM'd me to explain the situation from her side and I believe her (I have no reason not to!). I'm sorry I lashed out at you, Nivea. I was freaking livid when I saw it but it was wrong to rebuke you without getting to the bottom of it first.

 

We will indeed try and investigate exactly what happened with that file. I see that there are three people who manage that file page, I'm wondering if they could add any light to the situation? I'm wondering if you can tell me, Nivea, if that was always the case on that file (that comments were getting stickied progressively as more posts were made). You would have noticed it because every post would have had a red border around it and there would have be thousands of them on the first page, without having to jump between comment pages.

Well the mod is made and uploaded by Mishaxhi, I contributed to the mod and was involved with the mod for so long that Mish gave me power to manage the file. He is often on but he dislikes dealing with questions or answering the same questions over and over, so he gave me the okay to keep watch over the comment section and take care of the file when he is gone for long periods of time. That how I come into the mod, I am unsure who the third person is since I can only see my ID and Mish's ID in the Edit attributes page.

 

I think the third is Scottmack? But I doubt any of us would go about making random stickies since we have been on the mod for so long without indecent before this.

 

The day before the comment section went down I did my normal check of the comments (I do this about 2-3 times a week normally) and everything was normal, there where two stickies at that time. One by Mishaxhi dealing with the update he was working on, and one by myself that was a small FAQ (maybe 8 questions in one post). Those where the only stickies at the time. Then the next day (I was checking more then normal because of the possible update) I could not get into the comments, I thought it was a forum bug and it would sort itself out. I could still get to the comments from the forum section at that time (I posted twice and Mish once, but no stickies), but I did not see the sticky issues because you can not see them in the forum view.

 

This started a few days before the FO4 announcement and video, after the forum changes where made by you all (staff) I then began to think something was actually really wrong with the comment section and posted for help here.

 

That is why I was genuinely shocked by the amount of stickies because it was literally fine the day before it went down, two normal stickies. Its something that I really do not know what happened there.

Sorry for the double post, but would it be alright for me to delete the current stickies in the comment section? There are six stickies currently and they are all random users posts stickied which should not be a sticky, but I can not seem to find the unstick button (like for a author's post). So the only way for me to get rid of them is to delete them, but would that cause more problems or would they still count as stickies then?

Sounds like a sticky situation.

 

Haha, I am so sorry, I couldn't resist!
