Same:disappointed:

Profile pictures should be synced with our main site soon. There were some issues during the data migration due to which profile pictures aren’t showing up right now, but I expect this to be fixed soon.

There’s a user (discobot) telling me about “advanced user features.” What exactly does that mean?

Discobot will no longer send out those discobot notifs to user. It is basically a support bot that shares tips and tricks related to Discourse. Hopefully the message the bot shared had some useful tips:slight_smile:

Alright, thanks Guarang.:slight_smile:

One more question: There are 5 trust levels. How exactly is someone promoted and how do we know which trust level we are?

About your first post, @Awesome_Aasim already filed it to Jayne, so I think it should be fixed soon?

Exactly, the WikiTwitter thread automatically closed and I had a question about it as well.

I can’t figure out how to access any administrative options on the forums, so hopefully @JayneG or someone else is able to assist.

Hey Eric, this might sound a bit weird, but you don’t appear to be a moderator… you don’t have a shield next to you and neither do you appear on this page: https://forums.wikihow.com/about

^ I see the shield now.

I think you only appear there once you go on the new forums, I see his name.

Was the option to edit posts intentionally removed? It was available earlier today, but I can no longer find it.

Are you referring to your own post? There is a time limit for how long after posting you can edit your post, so that could be it?:zipper_mouth_face:

I posted something on the Role Play thread and tried to edit it immediately after noticing a mistake, but I couldn’t find the edit option?

@HelperOnWikihow it looks like a different settings update accidentally took it away. Thanks for letting us know! It should work as usual now. Can edit your post for up to 24hrs:pencil2:
