Just tried to edit our profile without success. The text can be Deleted User but won't accept replacement text i.e typing doesn't work. Also, our location has appeared, despite deselecting that option. Is this related to the website update?

    I've found a way to alter the main paragraph and have just changed mine.

    I cut the text from the paragraph and pasted it into word, altered it in word, and then repasted it back in to the text box in My Profile - then clicked the Save button about half a dozen times and now it's changed the information.  It didn't change after just a single click so I kept going until it did.  You can also alter your location (ie select a different one - I just tried Caithness) if you don't want someone to know where you live.  No amount of clicking changes whether your location shows, but at least a fictional location is one step!   I then altered my location back!

    Iv'e had the same problem numerous times i have emailed the club and the same answer comes back untick the box.It does not work. Apparently they are looking into it. Iv'e changed my location a few times but as soon as you log back in it reverts to the original.

    I reported this on the first day of the new site.

    You shouldn't have to find a way around the system to make it work. The system should already work. This really has been a very poor effort by the Caravan Club, another one in a long list of poor efforts in 2016. 

    ps Caravanner from Flintshire! Clwyd does not even exist as a county!

    I went to my profile and reloaded it. I also made sure it was perfectly square, if it isn't you get the grey borders showing.

    Niether have I, but you do need to have Adobe Flash running. Firefox usually blocks this and you have to select the "allow this to run" to make the "Change Photo" visible.

    So why does it work for me almost instantaneously when using W7 and IE11? When you upload a new avitar does it change on the edit profile page?

    I'm sorry peedee but it still seems that the CC believe that Microsoft should be obliged to change their operating systems to suit this forum.

    The same as the suggestion that to improve the readability of the forum we have to change our PC settings!

    I use W 10 and Edge, W10 and IE 11 and W7 and IE 11.

    I have also viewed the forum on W8.1 with IE 11 and see little difference.

    That's my 5% of a very sad story.

    Avatars won't change until you clear the cache on your computer device, the device is still using the old one cached for page speed. Mine changed right away after I cleared the cache and refreshed the page.

    I wonder why the cache hasn't got to be cleared on other forums....are we to assume that all PC users do that?

    I certainly didn't clear my cache and many people wouldn't have a clue anyway?

    Just another little hiccupsurprisedsmile
