thanks so much for this info. I did not realize if I changed the subject that it was still hijacking and I apologize for the error. I will try once again to post directly to the list and if it does not work I will indeed contact the owner. I am fairly new to this list so don’t want to get off on the wrong foot since I find it a very useful and informative list. It seems I never stop learning new things with the I devices. As I told Gene I did indeed accidently move the mute switch and it is the first time this has happened to me and I have been using an IPhone for 4 years! Marie
From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2014 12:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Two questions please Hi Marie, I started a new thread with the same subject as yours since if you replied to a different message and changed the subject you are doing what on mailing lists is called “thread hijacking” and which is considered to be very poor etikette. There is a mute switch on your phone. It is located above the volume buttons and you can flick it either towards the back of the phone or pull it forward towards the side where the touch screen is. You most likely flicked that switch to the Mute position which is towards the back of the phone. If you unlock your phone before you try this, Voiceover will tell you “Muted” or “Unmuted”. There is also a brief vibration if the switch is pushed into the mute position, if you pull it forward to unmute the phone it will not vibrate. You might be able to upgrade to 8.1 via iTunes and require less space than if you try and upgrade on your iPhone directly. You would just have to try it, if there is not enough space iTunes will tell you. Coming back to your not being able to post to the list, are you sure you are sending your messages from the email address you are subscribed with? If you do and it doesn’t work, I would send a message directly to Raul, the moderator, and ask if he knows why your messages don’t get posted. Raul just posted a public warning today when somebody else hijacked a thread/topic and change the subject to something completely unrelated. People who read by conversation will suddenly come across a completely different message with has nothing to do with the original topic. I put Raul’s email below and you should definitely write to him since if you continue to reply to other threads and change the subject he might put you on moderated status. Here is the email address: [email protected] Regards, Sieghard From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of M.Nelson Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2014 11:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Two questions please sorry about the vague subject line but the problem is too long to shorten into the subject. Today my iPhone 5S will not ring but instead either just vibrates or puts a notification on the lock screen to either decline or accept the call? It worked fine yesterday and I can’t imagine what has caused this behavior. I have gone into sounds and the ringtones all seem to play fine and the setting is to vibrate and ring on an incoming call. I have been working on setting up a group in the contacts but can’t imagine that would have anything to do with the answering of a call. Could I have inadvertently changed some setting? Oh and I am still running 7.12. I only have a 16 GB phone and not enough space to install 8.1 without deleting some apps that I don’t wish to delete. Can you install by connecting to ITunes without uninstalling apps? the other question is why I can’t seem to post an email direct to this list. I can reply to another message and change the subject line and they appear to post correctly but if I send a new message it is rejected.
