Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hi, Just a quick post to (hopefully) set your minds at ease. The recent problems have been from people trying to use the forum to send out spam to other websites and people, they haven't been looking to collect anyone details or information from the site from what we've seen, and your passwords for ...

Thanks for letting me know. I've not changed anything since last week as yet so I wonder if it may just be cashed versions of the site running on peoples computers.

Its Chris here and thank you both for that. Its frustrating as we have two computers here with IE11 and the site looks as it should on both. Let me see what I can do.

I have trouble with it covering the top list of choices for viewing new posts or topics etc when I am using my iPad. I haven't had trouble with it covering my replies though. I know Alex was aware of the problem and fixed it a bit, but not completely yet. I thought it might have something to do whi...

Hello everyone. Thanks for contacting us. We are a little stumped by this as for everything we test the forum on here it looks and works fine, diffrent browsers, diffrent devices, we aren't see the issues. Obviously there is an issue somewhere but without being able to see it or replicate it then it...

Not a problem. We are here to help and other than updating the code the main driving force behind this update is to try make the forum easier to and better to use. I've made some of the icon and font colours darker today in an effort to make them easier to spot and/or read. If the forum text does lo...

THanks everyone, I'm glad its mostly positve feedback :D Also if anyone has figured out how to get to new posts after reading a new thread without having to go back to the board index/home page please let me know. Its only a few extra steps so it isn't a big deal, but it was a habit I had and wouldn...

I see something I don't like, no editing?So I can't fix my screwups? I say the quote button Or am I missing something, :tizzy: Is there not an edit icon, pencil and paper, showing to the far right of the post title for you? I get one on my posts - will log in with a test account tomorrow and see. I...

It seems the first problem is that the chat-box isn't working as yet...

A big change I know. Its been a long time coming, the forum style has remained the same for around eight years now and while we all still do like the way it looks technology and the way many of us browse and use websites has changed a lot over the past few years. So we've made a new template, we've ...

Apologies if anyone did send PMs - I don't believe they were received, at least none came to this account. The Forums hosting company 'froze' the forum rather than removing it as they had before, so while it was still showing for most people, any new posts and PMs generally wouldn't go through. We g...

I'm hoping it stays back up too.

It seems we had some issues with the site overloading the hosting - the site just keeps getting bigger and bigger!

I think we should have it fixed and working now.

Thank you all for the suggestions we've had. If anyone has any more questions then we can set more than one or have them alternate. I know it is difficult as it needs to be something specific but also something someone with a new interest in Cross Stitching, but not much knowledge, might be able to ...

We do have a question in place but it isn't cross-stitch related. I like the idea of that, but it would have to be something quite simple that people whose first language might not be English could still answer, as we do have members from all over the world on here. If anyone wants to PM me some cro...

Gee, I half want to email these folks MY kitchen specifications and have them whip me up an estimate....and then tell 'em I'm in FLORIDA! ;) eta: wonder what would happen if all of us NOT in England did something like that to them? Would it clog their email? (don't they realize that IF I lived righ...

Sorry for all this kitchen Spam of late, and thanks to Rose for letting me know. We are looking into ways to stop it but its quite difficult as they have real people creating and posting the accounts, we've had problems with them on another forum we run before. All these websites are owned by the sa...

Hi Everyone. Apologies for the downtime it seems the forums webspace was hacked, nothing was done other than some damage to the forums files, which stopped everything working. You might find a few posts from the last 24 hours are missing as the fastest way to get everything back up and running was t...

I'm a curiouse person by nature (read: NOSEY) & I dug into that company a little bit. It's somewhere in Georgia (U.S. state) and they have a fledgling facebook page (all of 27 likes when I looked at it over the weekend). Hi, if you could pm me the company/facebook page I'll make a request that ...

So far so good then from the sounds of it. The title and then the first line or so of posts made may indeed appear on the facebook page, yes. For those who don't have facebook it looks like this; http://www.crossstitchforum.com/images/posts.JPG I know and understand 'privacy' is the first thought of...

Hello again, This has been an interesting thread for us and a surprising one. As Rose correctly said in the thread earlier we set up a group on facebook several years ago when the website was down for maintenance for a couple of days in order to keep people updated. Back then facebook groups and fac...
