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 canโt make โActivityโ the home page, could we add a line on the home page welcome to the effect of โclick on โActivityโ to see the latest posts and updatesโ 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 โSquidgeโ with your profile pic and โlog outโ beneath) it will take you to your personal menu. One of the options is โprofileโ and if you click on that, thereโs an option to edit it. Itโs pret…[Read more]

OK – next issue. Realised I have my user and @name thing mixed up. I think. Have changed to Squidge as my tag on here, but how do I alter anything else on my profile? Only seem to get a user name option. Finding navigation difficult, but I’ll get there. I suppose it’s just a familiarity thing.

Text on this (main?) wall is much better, sizewise… still working my way round. What’s the difference between posting this in profile or group? Am doing it in profile, so hope it can be seen!
-
This is the Main wall – you’re right. So this is public. If you post on the group wall it’s private and can only be seen by group members. The main wall displays everything – forum topic updates, comments, personal activity updates – everything that isn’t private. It’s a continuous body of rolling information. Just like the Cloud wall despite…[Read more]

First impressions – brill! Having issues with the text size on this forum (haven’t gone far enough into site yet to compare others) as I’m having to strain to read it on my main PC (bigger screen than the laptop) but if I try to magnify will I lose the ‘edges’.
Agree with Richard about the ‘username’ thing. And the picture as it stands at the mo…[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.

Jules replied to the topic Den of Writers – Forum Feedback in the forum Admin and Technical 7 years, 8 months ago
I think it’s definitely worth looking into, Ath ๐

How does everybody feel about the default text editor? On the one hand it allows some HTML stuff to be done easily but on the other hand many users will be familiar with a WYSIWYG alternative. I think TinyMCE is available (and it is a very good editor).

Donโt seem to be able to upload a photo from my phone into a topic – anyone got any idea how to do this? – just testing the notifications @jillybean @knickylaurelle
-
Widgets for specific media haven’t yet been added. They will be soon. I thibk Knicky must have used the img key on the topic reply box and put in the image url from a public folder. @knickylaurelle is that what you did on the feedback thread? Otherwise fear not, Barny. There are media widgets on the way.

(And this notification system is rather good! Did not know you could tag specific individuals!)

Yupyup, I did. And the notification system is robust, JB! Hearty me hearty ๐

No please :/ . . . I did it on my comp. I clicked the IMG button and it led me to a box where I could post the url of the pic online so then I pasted the url to the pic in the box and the image was added to the post that way. Trying to learn on my phone is a bit to adventurous for me at the mo I’m afraid; wanna master the comp first, including…[Read more]
