Oops, post reply has a type-o lol. Will revert to old button until it's fixed.

Mike

Ok, yeah I know the twitter social media button is not quite right. I'll add to my list to fix it so it's sized properly.

Made some changes to add more prominence to private messages and pending notifications, plus adding some popular shortcuts here. Let me know if you have ideas on good shortcuts to place here. I also placed one to encourage members to add an avatar, if they don't have one already. I also plan to add one like "make your first post and introduce yourself" if they have zero posts. Other ideas? Mike

I've noticed additional members making an introductory post, so I believe this change helped. Glad to see that.

Mike

OK, so we have pending:

- Post Reply
- Twitter social media
- Downloads area Download button
- Search bar box
- Answer button for Q&A threads

Let me know if I missed any. These should be done by tomorrow from our graphics guy.

Mike

Made a change to hide some of the additional options when posting a reply to a thread, by default. You can easily expand it.

You can also access the attachments option by using the paperclip icon from the toolbar in the message editor, if you previously used the Manage Attachments button.

This consolidates/saves space and makes it easier to view prior posts when you reply.

Title option seems to be missing when replying to a post.

Yes, good catch.

I looked and found over 99% of post replies don't contain a title. What ends up happening (often) is the poster uses the title as an introduction sentence to his post, but that results in portions of text missing when the same post is later quoted --- as well as a problem with our app, because the app doesn't display the titles at all.

It leads to confusion. So, I simplified and just removed it.

New threads still have it of course, it only affects replies to existing threads. Let me know if I've seriously pissed you off with this, but try to live with it

Okay, thanks. Wasn't sure if it was an intentional change or not. I did use it, but nothing earth shattering if it's gone.

Sorry, I missed the post because of not reading before all of the video update posts.
However, lately I have been on the app on my tablet and I do not know how to view the changes. I should be on a browser this weekend and will check it then.
Tks

I've made a change to the Question & Answer feature section of the site. Previously, only the original poster (OP) of a thread could mark a particular post as an "Answer". Or a site moderator. However, too frequently the OP overlooks this ability. So, I've changed this to allow any Elite Member to mark a post as "Answered" in these featured threads. Could you please help me test and confirm this is working correctly? On the homepage, top left, you'll see a section of recent Q&A board threads. Please click through them and find the ones that have at least one reply to the original post. In that case, you should see an option to allow you to click 'Answer' on that post and mark the thread as Answered. Please let me know. I believe this is in the best interest of the community. I should also point out that the list of questions is cached by the system for one hour at a time, so there may be a short discrepancy between a thread you've recently marked as Answered and what the forum homepage shows. This is to speed up the home page. Mike

Hi @Big Mike
yeah today I was caught on the wrong foot! As I read last time this changelog thread 2 days ago.

I have no problem to eliminate the title - I can make a bold headline within the text. This one will be replicated in answers to the post which sometimes is quite helpful.

But to mention that this thing is not off the shelf: If I EDIT a written post then the "title" still comes up (nonsense of course) - just to let you know.

Have a great weekend
