New Forum and Blog Software Discussion

[Myr]

There are a lot of small improvements and a few big ones.

1) Rich Text Editor. (You have to turn this on in your control panel.

2) RSS Feed. (If you aren't using IE, then you'll likely see an RSS alert.) the site is now set up to automatically send an RSS feed of the Story Annoucement Forum.

3) RSS Import. I'll be setting up a News forum that collects RSS feeds and posts some of the news.

4) Quick Edit. You'll no longer have to go through all those screens to quickly edit your posts. You can also edit your topic titles by pressing and holding your mouse button over your topic title. Cool Stuff

5) PM name suggest feature. When you start typing names into the To box of a PM it'll start suggesting names.

6) Multi Question Polls. You can now ask more than one question in a poll.

Lots of other things too.

Just a quick question:

 

How do you externally address a blog? [web address for a blog here from outside]

 

When I was creating mine, I saw it but it went by too fast to see.

 

-JS

You need to go to your "My Controls" and select blog settings.

then find "Friendly URLs".

Check the box, enter a name and save your settings.

Then click "My Blog"

Copy the URL for the address bar.

Hello Mr. Myr

 

I have a problem. I tried to change my Display Name. But everytime it says: "Sorry, you have entered an incorrect password. Please try again.". But I'm sure my password is ok, since I can log in with it.

Some of the blogs responses are cut off on the right column, thus making them hard to read. Is there something a reader can do to read them or is it up to the poster to change their settings?

You guys need to tell me what browser you are using and what operating system.

[Former Member]

Firefox 1.0.6

 

Windows ME (yeah, I know, I know, don't comment on that)

Internet Explorer (Internet Exploiter ) and Windows XP

[Myr]

I think I fixed the problem of white on white in The Soapbox this morning.

 

I haven't seen other errors. (I've tested in IE 6 and FireFox).

 

Please be specific as to where you are seeing the errors. If it is a blog, which one?

[gobears20022002]

Myr, your blog. It was Lurker's post in the "More Political Correctness BS" thread.
