TinyMCE would be a better option, IMO. It allows switching to HTML mode if you want to but defaults to WYSIWIG.

Yes. Would be nice if Activity was the default view, rather than getting a rather blank page and having to click Activity every time.

I’m looking in to whether there are extra permissions that can be set for user profiles for both altering or adding. Will get back to you. Don’t think you’re the only one who had that issue with the user name though so some clarification would definitely help.

Exciting stuff! Are you allowed to say any more about it at the moment? My writing’s going OK thanks. Got some good feedback on my on-again, off-again WIP which has helped with the enthusiasm. Getting ready for the release of the second William the Conqueror novel Jillybean and I co-wrote

Hmmm, yes, I see what you mean. I’d used it to change my profile pic and background pic but not any of the actual details

Hi Phillipa 🙂 great to see you here.

Oh, and a litle tip if you hadn’t picked up on it already – if you click on ‘Activity’ at the top, you get a Cloud style ‘wall’

Hi Philippa, thanks for dropping in, great to see you. How are things going with the novel etc at the moment?

Yes, I was wondering about setting the main wall as the home page, Daed. Will have a look and if it can’t be done, I’ll add a few navigation instructions under About. Might add some anyway tbh.

Btw if we can’t make ‘Activity’ the home page, could we add a line on the home page welcome to the effect of ‘click on “Activity” to see the latest posts and updates’ or something like that?

Hi Squidge. If you click on your name anywhere it comes up in a forum, or in the little status box to the right of the page title (for you it should read ‘Squidge’ with your profile pic and ‘log out’ beneath) it will take you to your personal menu. One of the options is ‘profile’ and if you click on that, there’s an option to edit it. It’s pret…[Read more]

Thanks Barny. This one should be right up my street, as I quite often start with the dialogue and then work the descriptive stuff around it. And its the in between bits I tend to struggle with. Darned if I can think of an idea that would work though!

I think it’s that I basically haven’t set it as a default. Thought I had but obvioudly haven’t. Will take a look tomorrow. But yes it occurred to me somewhat belatedly that that must be the case.

Also, Jules, do you know a lot about SSL? I can see that the current Nethosted setup allows HTTP as well and that looks like the default if you don’t expressly request HTTPS. I know I could force my browser to choose secure only, or by preference, but that has broken some site access for me in the past. If you don’t (know) I’ll have a dig…[Read more]

I’m being a bit thick today (yes, today!). This IS a very basic version of TinyMCE isn’t it? I think it’s the TinyMCE advanced plugin I’m thinking of. I foolishly got rid of my test site so I can’t check.

I think it’s definitely worth looking into, Ath 🙂
