barejackbro2 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Hi there, apologies if this is covered elsewhere (and in which case, please direct me there ) I'm unable to make status updates on the right hand side panel of the forum. Sometimes I just get a panel showing 'Recent Status Updates', but when the text box for a status update [Edit: the 'Whats on your mind?' box] is showing, and I click in it, it directs me to my profile, where there doesn't seem to be anywhere to add a status update. I'm using Chrome browser if that helps. Please let me know if I'm missing something here Thanks for your help Edited June 19, 2017 by barejackbro2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators drscorpio Posted June 19, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 I don't see a problem with you account. I will check this out further when I get home from work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barejackbro2 Posted June 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Thank drscorpio. It's probably me, not my account. I'm probably missing something obvious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators drscorpio Posted June 20, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I am looking at the site in Chrome. On the main page of the forum under where it says "Recent Status Updates," there is a box that says "What's on your mind?" If you click in that box, it should bring up a small editor window where you can leave a status message. If that doesn't work, go to your profile page. At the top of your Activity tab, you should see a window which says "Write a public message on your own feed ..." Clicking there should allow you to leave a status message. Do either of those methods work for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barejackbro2 Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Thanks for checking this out. Sadly neither of those options worked. On the main page, the 'Recent Status Updates' doesn't have any 'Whats on your mind?' box at the moment. On the occasional times when it does, clicking it takes me to my profile rather than an editor window. Going to my profile, I see no window saying 'Write a public message on your own feed...'

barejackbro2 Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Update: I went into my 'Edit Profile' and saw that the option 'Enable Status Updates' was not ticked. Ticked it. Save. Now all working. I told you it would be something I was missing!! Thanks for your help drscorpio, appreciate the time you took 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
