auto-approve followers checkbox not doing its job?

And then there's always : "Approve! Followers?"
ol ;D

auto-approve followers checkbox not doing its job?

Using Jamroom

Oh my goodness... I think we've ALL (me AND my site members) been thinking it meant to just automatically "approve followers" !
I guess we ASSUMED it meant that... and when you think you already know what something means, you don't think to click on the "?" help button.

Yikes, I definitely need to change the language there then. "Review Followers" is not too clear for most folks either. Unfortunately, it may have to be longer to give the clear meaning.
Perhaps "Keep Followers Pending until my Approval" ?

update: that's what I did... changed the wording next to the box to: "Keep Followers Pending until my Approval". I also slightly changed the help language to: "If this box is checked, anyone following your profile will need to be approved by you before becoming an active follower of your profile."
I think that will straighten things out for everyone.

Thanks for turning on the light! Marking this 'solved'.

auto-approve followers checkbox not doing its job?

Using Jamroom

Hi,
I've discovered that despite my members having checked the checkbox for "automatically approve followers" on their account's Profile Tab, they are accumulating pending followers. This seems to be happening for some members who have not logged in for a couple months, and also some who log in regularly. Maybe they have their settings to not received notifications for new followers... but shoudnt' the checkbox then approve them despite that?

Here are examples of this occurring among my site members:

Thanks for any help with this. Perhaps I'm not understanding how it works.

Just received this info from a regular member, hope it helps:

"I have a text box on this thread on my phone (android) but not on the thread about playing in different keys that Lois has just replied on. Very strange that the two threads differ?"

He sees the texbox ok on the thread that I started as master admin.. but not on the thread he had previously replied to, which was created by Lois, a regular member.

On the other hand, a couple of member who could not see the two main page (blog) slideshow ads now report that they can see them fine now, after you did that thing, Michael.

But on the same computer and browser, when I log back in as Master admin, it loads fine for me and I see it as it should look:

I have some input on this issue from one of my moderators this morning (a couple hours ago), he knows enough to give me useful details. He said this:

"This morning, from my PC running windows 7, I logged in with chrome, I can navigate, read, view but cannot reply, respond or post. Here's another wrinkle, I thought, hmmmm ... let's see if we can 'quote'. Nope, quote button inactive.
I logged out, used the windows utility to delete cookies, temp files and browser cache. Rebooted computer, logged back in on the same PC, using chrome. Still no text box. Funny thing it appears for less than a second then it's gone. The little word 'Text' is visible denoting the location for the text box but it is not there. Hovering does not pull it up. There is no cursor. There is no text box.
I logged out and logged back in with Firefox. All utilities and features function fine. We seem to have it narrowed to chrome but ... chrome is rilly, rilly BIG"

Again, I myself don't seem to be having these issues, EXCEPT for noticing this one thing just a few minutes ago:
If I log in as a regular member, (on win 7, Chrome) the main top (admin blog) widget area with my description and Paypal button is not loading. Screenshot:

Oh you caught me just in time!
So fast ???
I'll need to know what you did if I have to apply the fix to my other jr site...? Or did you fix it across the board?
Will it help with the other issues of Deb and Lorna's sites?

It's like pulling teeth to try to get my members to give helpful info when they report a site problem... as you can see here:
https://fotmd.com/forums/forum/site-questions-how-do-i/29503/recent-glitch-of-missing-reply-post-textboxes
Instead they say things like "The pages are not working right"...etc. lolol...I'm sure you Jamroom developers experience much the same frustration when trying to help us all.

I'm hoping that if the slideshow problem is figured out, that the particular fix may also resolve the other issues that have been somehow connected, such as the missing TinyMCE editor input box that Deb and Lorna posted above, and that my site experienced as well.
Michael thank you SO much for your efforts and time. I apologize, but it's way past my bedtime here and I'm falling asleep at my desk... I must check back here tomorrow...but I really have to crash! zzzzzzzzzzzz

Yes, Michael!... that's exactly what the members are reporting to me "To be Uploaded"!
Now I realize that a couple of members were trying to tell me that same thing when I posted that other thread about the missing textboxes. This all started happening several days ago. Now I am getting fewer reports about the missing text editor boxes, but more reports about the m=non-loading slideshw ads.
See my above screenshot for what I am seeing on all my devices and browsers... the slideshow is working fine for ME. dang!
