Friends – Activity – Hilary

Athelstone posted an update 6 months, 2 weeks ago

I’ve added a few pieces to the Profile settings. The new entries are all entirely optional, but I do encourage you to take a look at what’s there. It’s nice to know a bit about your Denizen friends, and it can be useful sometimes. So, if you have the world’s largest collection of rare Tupperware, or are secretary of the East Kent Hare Coursing…[Read more]

Thank you, Ath. A good idea. At the moment updated profiles aren’t necessarily being mentioned on the activity page, but you may well know that already.

  I didn’t know, Libby. Have you done an update recently? There’s a full change log in the admin menu, but I didn’t see anything. I haven’t looked at how the Activity Page is built; I know it’s complex and occasionally flakey, so I’ve tried to steer clear.

    Oh, or did you mean that my post about the changes has slipped down because of subsequent posts? That can be a nuisance sometimes. There’s a banner headline facility that I also avoid.

      Thanks, Ath. Some profile updates are mentioned on the Activity page, e.g. Richard’s and Janette’s, and others aren’t, e.g. Sandra’s and mine. Perhaps it’s just an example of its flakiness.

        Exactly that. I’m not even certain whether the activity page is a WordPress thing or one of the plugins that makes it a community site.

It sounds as though it presents frustrations. Thanks for keeping it all going and working with its idiosyncracies.

  I sometimes feel a bit like the man who asked for directions and was told, ‘Well, I wouldn’t start from here.’

Answering on the activity stream to keep the comp thread clear. In general, WordPress (that this site uses) doesn’t really play with, or understand, or use paragraph indentation. It’s possible, but I haven’t looked into it yet. The issue is that WordPress was originally built for blogging (by one person) and we use almost none of that…[Read more]

  Thank you for the explanation, Athelstone.

    Incidentally, when I say “it’s possible” I should probably add, “but not easy.”
    The ONLY method that would work consistently for a forum post would be to construct some fairly complex HTML using the code tab of your text box. You would need to do this for every post.
    The situation has existed ever since the creation of WordPress and I was very…[Read more]
