Just FYI - Beta testing of software is external testing of changes, by experienced volunteer users of that software before its rollout into production. Those users should test all functions and features to ensure that they all work as intended before impacting the entire customer/user community. As we are all seeing now, its much more difficult to track and make those software fixes after the new software is in production. I sure would not want to be in Bob's shoes right now, but I'll keep him in my prayers. I truly want TQS to succeed.

We are very much learning "on the hoof" and some things that works one day does not work the next because it is being worked on behind the scenes (I guess) so sometimes it is worth coming back a couple of days later and try again. Reload the page or closing down the browser as you mention can help or even just logging out and in again to the site can make a difference.
Sadly though the "beta-testing" we are doing and has been doing for some time now is putting people off using the site and is sadly leading to a loss of valuable members. Let's hope 2015 starts bright and cheerful with the site up and running in full and most of the "bugs" weeded out.
I see Alex' Facebook stream is now available from the home page. Ricky has to play catch-up now

Thank you, Marianne.

Another thing I have learned that may help others...if it looks like something isn't working after making a response, or using pull-down, after save or send, ReFresh or Reload the browser (IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, whatever). I've made a lot of user errors and it's getting easier.

What I like: searchable shows. Awesome feature. Loading all my pictures, instead of picking a few.

After saving the page reloaded and you were back to square one.
I guess some buttons were just not linked to be changed by users.

I'm glad this has worked out for you, Marianne. I am curious to know if something changed, or if you were just made aware of the settings from within your Profile? When I read your post this morning, I went to my profile and saw a ton of options for making things private or public. Perhaps I hadn't noticed before?

Following my posts # 124560 and 124583 I have been in contact with Support and BOB has come up trumps My postcode has disappeared and I can now alter the boxes of the right hand side on the Edit Profile page and they stay put after saving. I have edited post 124583 so the screen capture has gone and thereby removed any reference to my address.
NOTE - when contacting support you no longer receive an automated reply.
THANK YOU to BOB for taking action.
I will now go and assure my DH that all is sorted and then continue to browse what everybody is up to this busy time of year.

Jilly I've commented on the other 2 threads to help you

Why is the latest comment not at the top of the topic you go into to read ??????

Also I do not want to receive emails regarding any comments on the forum, I do not want to have to take another step by unsubscribing every time I make comments on the forum.

In the TQS Community you can like comments and inside of someone's profile at the top you can like a person's profile.

I might be daft, but when I look at my profile I can see that some one 'liked' it. (Even one second after posting. Where is the 'like' button? I can't seem to find it.

No chance we are going to throw you off the forum. I have had concerns also. The one day I hovered over something--can't remember what--and there was a map quest type of map to my house. If this hasn't been fixed--it needs to be. I can see maps to businesses but not to my house.

I've seen exactly the same change, Anne.

At first I just had click login at the top of the page that would bring up the box lower down the page I just had to type A in the left hand box and then click on the box that came up and that would also bring up my password in the right hand box, then I would click on login to the right of that and it would go straight to TQS. Suddenly all that changed and now when I click on login at the top of the page it immediately brings up my name and password I just have to click on login.
Sorry this is so long winded, I hope it makes sense.
