Small change to autofocus the editor input box when doing a new reply on the site. So you can just start typing... thank goodness this is finally done!

Mike

I'm surprised that only @bobwest thought this was a good change. I, for one, really appreciate I can just start typing away...

No one else, really?

One thing I do want to change, is have it automatically move the cursor to the END of the quoted post (if applicable). I'm looking into that.

Got it

Cursor now goes to end of quoted text...

My goal quite honestly is to stimulate good (ie: helpful/useful/thanked) content.

When someone sees a ranking, especially the group of members that are regular posters, I want them to pause and think for a moment that post quality does matter. We want to provoke a response after the post is made, in the way of a Thanks.

Let's say you are an active poster in a thread, but one of two scenarios occurs. Scenario 1) You aren't in the Best Posters -- my goal is to encourage you to post better content. Scenario 2) You are in the Best Posters, but you are just behind @bobwest (aren't we all???) and you really want to beat him, so you really hone your posting skills to whip out your ninja moves like @bobwest, and bring your AAA+ game.


Big Mike View Post
I also forgot to state the obvious:

The Best Posters section is a reward for those who post the best content, a way to highlight them. I plan an expansion of this kind of thing for the new forum homepage I have in mind (for years now, but I'm on a roll lately). I really want to bring attention to certain things on the site, and this is one.

I think those a good reason and hope it works.

Big Mike View Post
So, now that I've made my goal clear, please give me feedback on what I could do to drive this point across more clearly in the space provided in the header.

I say this because @SMCJB you've not understood the purpose of the content, so what can I do to make it more obvious?

Your appealing to people's ego's. For their desire to be more popular, to rank higher etc. As such I'm not sure that you need to be more obvious than it already is. I suppose you could have "Don't see your name here, then post more and better" banner!

Hi,

Possibly related to the arrow key paging improvements you did, here's an issue I noticed:

When editing profile fields, the arrow keys refresh the profile page instead of allowing one to edit the field text.

Also just feedback on the tradingview widget, I personally block the tradingview domain because their embedded widgets seem to constantly make requests to their servers like every second...most folks wouldn't notice or have any problem with that but thought I'd mention in any case. These pings would multiply among several open tabs too.

Thanks for reporting, but I am unable to duplicate it. When you say profile fields, you mean going to UserCP -> Edit Options? The keyboard binding only occurs when a thread is on the screen.

Please tell me specifically where (url) so I can resolve.

It's a websocket, extremely lightweight (responses are less than 1KB). For comparison, to load this changelog page it's probably 20,000 times as much data. So, I honestly wouldn't worry about it.

It happens in About Me on my profile when logged in -- when I click on any of the pencil icons to expose a text field to edit a profile section such as location or biography... and press left or right arrow key, the web page re-navigates to the same profile URL, (so it's not exctly a refresh.)

I'm using Safari v13.1 on OS X.

Thanks for the tradingview info as well.

Edit: It happens whether you're in a text field or not. It just seemed like it was related becase I used arrow keys to edit the text and then the page reloaded before I was done editing.

Hey guys,

I'm happy to announce a major upgrade & feature to all posts.

When you make a post that contains a URL, the site will now examine it and auto-expand it, to make it far more useful.

Here is an example of me linking to the Spoo's thread, a post made by @josh recently.



With time, I will also expand this feature to work with external (non-FIO) links. But this will require a substantial amount of increased work, so for now, I am launching the feature to work only with FIO links to threads & posts. I will try to expand it to work with Downloads/Indicators as well, in the future.

Please give me some feedback, and please report any problems here. This is the most complex and ambitious project I've done to date, so there are bound to be some bugs I have not yet identified. So, if something looks weird, please let me know here in this thread.

Mike

OK, thanks -- I have duplicated it. I will work on a fix. It's so strange that it shows up there, but I'll take a look. For a quick fix, if you need to edit something, just hit Ctrl-A to select all text, then start typing the replacement text. This will allow you to not use arrow keys.

Please give me some feedback, and please report any problems here.

The problem with this is that it can not distinguish between good links that benefit from expanding and links that just bloat pages.

As support I give you this....



Your comment "You can ask @NinjaTrader in their AMA:" is a good one.
Your link to his thread is also good.
But is a 2" high Dark Gray Banner that says

"Ask Me Anything (AMA) with Raymond Deux (Founder of NinjaTrader)
Hi guys,

It is my pleasure to welcome Raymond Deux (Founder of NinjaTrader) on Wednesday, May 3rd @ 4:30 PM Eastern US for an "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) event.

Ray always does an excellent job with answering questions from members, so be sure to attend and get your questions answered live during the event!

Register for the event:
https://on.nexusfi.com/1ozxz

Mike"


Actually any help to anybody?

I worry that while this feature will be amazing in some situations that overall it's just going to make threads longer and longer and your going to be paging through looking for the actual meaningful posts.

Signing Out.

Negative Nancy
