Emergency Announcement

Post by phonogfp »

Apparently, it's now impossible to post new topics in several categories, including "Machines." Several TMF members who have not stayed logged on have been shut out of the TMF. A number of TMF members have contacted the Antique Phonograph Society asking if anything can be done, but unfortunately the APS has no control over the TMF. However, the APS continues to maintain the APS Forum:

https://forum.antiquephono.org/

TMF members who request APS FORUM accounts should send an email to [email protected] indicating their request is pending so that it can be expedited.

I can access TMF but still cannot see the Facebook group (Antique Phonograph Society Group) for over 2 years now. Others have the same problem. There must be a solution.

There is! I figured out how to find people who have been banned. SOMEONE (not me) banned you 2 years ago. I just unbanned you. I've done this for several people, but I can't do it unless I know their names, so if you know of others, please let me know.

Also - just to clarify - this is NOT an APS Forum problem, but a Facebook thing.

Scrolling along tonight, and up pops Antique Phonograph Society Group: Join. And just like that, it is resolved. It's very strange. I don't cross anyone. Would you also unban my wife Christy? She joined a couple of years ago and was banned the next day.

Thanks George. Scott Malawski has been unable to access the page for quite some time and also wishes to have the block removed. Appreciate you handling this.

You're welcome Dan.

Just to be clear, "the page" you're referring to is the APS Facebook Group. I don't find Scott's name on any naughty lists (banned, suspended, post approvals, etc.). I'd be pleased to correspond with Scott directly if he wishes.

Sure, please message him. Yes, I am referring to Antique Phonograph Society Group on Facebook. He had the same issue I had, so I thought it might be a block, as well. Just messaged him this morning and he still cannot see the group. Thanks again.

If I had Scott's email address, I could try inviting him to the APS Facebook Group.

Thanks to more than one member here who provided Scott's email address, I've invited Scott to join the APS Facebook Group. Thanks for the help!
