"Scratch Pad" (which I created by mistake and would like to delete) has been approved, but all of the entries under "Being an Index . . ." are still awaiting approval.

P.S. Thank you!

Just throwing this out there, but I'm sure this is an unfixable Xenforo bug or a problem locally on my end since I have this same issue on all Xenforo sites I use...

Spell check is really wonky. The underline on misspellings will just disappear and then come back and sometimes even whole sentences and paragraphs will be underlined. These things can be brief or not go away until you do something like click somewhere in the post.

If it's a bug, Xenforo should have fixed it by now so I have a feeling it's a local issue when I'm using sites with the latest Xenforo on FF, Chrome or Opera. Have not tried other browsers.

Anyone else have this issue?

Ok, all blog entries have been approved. Test posts should be reported to staff so it can be flagged for deletion. Any further blog posts should go through with no issues now.

I don't misspell anything, so I never see those underlined words.

 

[Zazie]

OK. Lemme go dig some more.

And everything is now approved! Thank you so, so much.

I get this too.

 

[retired1]

That's generally going to be a browser issue.

 

[retired1]

OK. Did some digging and the spell check issue is browser related, and pretty much occurs on all browsers. I also read that the Grammarly addon for your browser overrides the default spell checker and works much better.

Never mind this post - - - see below re: blogs.

Retired1 resovled the issue.

You da man !!!

I received the following alert...

Thanks Ret1.

@classwife, thanks for helping us with the blog problem.

I am able to edit my existing blog without requiring approval.

On the XF forum I read something about blogs being an add-on to XF. If this is indeed true I wonder if there is a separate control panel for it. (???) And knowing that there are different levels of moderators (access) perhaps with the new XF version you need to be granted access. (???)

Just thinking out loud.

@alexj-12, for kicks, I just created a new blog entry.

After I hit enter to 'Submit for publishing now' I received the following message.

Thanks Alex.

You should not be getting that now.

 

[ShowMeTwice]

You should not be getting that now.

I edited the post you quoted to reflect the changes you made.

My test blog entry was approved.

Thank you !!!

 

[ShowMeTwice]

You should not be getting that now.

One more question. I don't see where I might be able to delete the test blog entry I created today.

Do blog users need to contact a moderator to request deletes???

Thanks.

The last thing I need is another addon . I'll just deal with it. It just an annoyance and I've dealt with it for probably 2 or 3 years.

I don't see where I might be able to delete the test blog entry

It's either not an option in Xenforo or it's not turned on in the ECF backend. Not sure which.

 

[retired1]

Report the entry, just like you would do in the forum. A staff member will delete it.
