Some bits of info on posting on the new forum, etc.

Forums can now be accessed from sub-menus under Forums in the menu for computer users.

When you are logged in there's a Green Post button on every page. That's for creating a new topic.

The row of icons under every posting made has been replaced by a Take Action. That includes Reply with Quote.

There's the Add Reply box at the end for people to add replies. It appears at the end of each page of a thread. Click in that box to be able to start making a reply. You will be taken to the last page when you post your reply. Note that at the top of each page of a thread is a Add Reply link to the same box so that can be used as an alternative to scrolling down to the bottom of a page.

It looks like this:

Forum reply box

Follow box (edited). Although the box defaults to being ticked, you will not get email notifications provided the first entry in your Notifications is unticked, This  is unchanged from the old forum.

The order of the posting icons is a bit different but as now hovering over any icon tells you what it does.

Press Enter in the Add Reply box starts a new paragraph.
Press Shift Enter starts a new line rather than a new paragraph. Moonie spotted this tip.

  • Forum reply box

Replies sorted oldest to newest

If you want to underline text, use Formats - Inline - Underline

Similarly with strikethrough text - Formats - Inline - Strikethrough

 

To insert an image either drag a picture from the site where the picture is and drop it in the Add Reply box, or copy and paste it, or use the Insert/Edit Image icon and paste the link to the picture.

 

El Loro

To add a Youtube video, copy the Youtube link, click insert/edit video, on the general page, paste the link in source and then click OK. The picture of the video should then appear in the Add Reply box.

Pasting the link directly in the Add Reply box no longer results in the clip being embedded, just a link to that clip.

Very helpful, El Loro! I will sticky this post across all forums for awhile, and we can add to it as necessary.

 

To clarify, the Add Reply shows up on every topic page, but clicking that button will put the reply at the end of the topic, and you'll wind up on the last page of the topic.

 

The Follow bar is indeed checked by default when you reply, so you will need to uncheck it every time (this is the same as 1.0, btw, as my email can attest.)

Lori

Assuming that the notification settings stay the same under version 2.0 then provided the "Email me whenever someone posts to any content I specifically follow." under "Specific Followed Content" in your notification settings is unticked it should not be neccessary to clear the Follow box every time you post a reply to avoid getting an email.

There does seem to be a problem with spell check and it has already been reported on the help forum:

That blue bell only appears where there's a new message. If there is no blue bell and you want to check the latest replies you have to navigate from the first page. I see though that you can make a reply from the first page, it's just convenient to be able to go straight to the end.

Yes, if there's a blue New sign by the left of a thread that means that there's a reply which you haven't seen yet. Clicking on the New takes you there (and is the same as clicking on First Unread Post).

It's still the same. The word NEW will appear in a box  to the left of the thread title. The box is light blue for me.

I think El means when you click on a PM, you are taken to the first page of that PM, rather than the most recent page/posts.

On my iPad and pc there isn't an oblong box or blue bell as mentioned above for pm's, confusing

Top left hand corner there is a drop down menu (three little white horizontal lines). If you click on that, you will see a red number if you have alerts or PMs. Once you click on your PMs, you will see the blue bell beside the thread title which indicates there is a new post. I think!

If I'm at the bottom of a thread and refresh to see if there's any new posts, it shoots back up the page and I need to scroll back down to the bottom again . 

this happens when the page gets to the bottom half - in a fast moving thread, it's really annoying (and I never thought I'd moan about scrolling, but it's becoming a pain)

Yogi, I'm having problems with iPad and pc and they can be different problems on either so it's getting frustrating, especially as I have to go into another room for the pc so I'm going from one to the other There must be some glitches so maybe I'll wait for them to be sorted out instead of going from to room Good luck with your laptop

Are you meaning at the bottom left, after the heart? If so, it's not saying 'like (or) reply', it's saying 'like (this) reply', The words are not clickable, but the heart is.

 

Your actual reply box is always at the bottom of the page.

I'm not seeing a heart, I'm using the Reply box at bottom of page as I can't reply in the poster's box but how does the poster know I'm replying to them unless I mention their name

At bottom right click on Take Action. A drop down menu will open and you can click on reply with quote. This will then take you to your reply box where the quote will be inserted with that poster's name. Add your comments and click the green 'Post Reply' button.

OK, NOW I understand. Sorry, I'm apparently a little slow on the uptake today. 

I reported this as an issue, and will let you know what I find out.

I can now see alerts at the top of the page, they were missing yesterday  Seems an awful lot of white and not many posts on a page, last night I could see two post in threads if someone quoted, and three if I was lucky when no one quoted. 

There seems to be loads of wasted space for PC users and an awful lot of background, I gave up last night trying to follow the thread, the constant scrolling trying to keep tabs with what was being posted was too just frustrating.

Why is the "Take Action"  not disappearing now after it is pressed?

I found the same and reported it to Lori but she hasn't been able to replicate it. I have found though that if you click anywhere on the page outside the Add Reply box that the Take Action drop down list goes,

Just tried that and it doesn't always work for me. Trivial problem really tbh

Again an annoying problem for me El. It's hard, well for me, to see where the *Topics* banner starts. It would be much easier if it was a different colour. 

I keep scrolling down and missing it 

That's one for Lori. Technically it's possible by replacing <h3>Topics</h3>

in the html code for that header with

<h3 style="color: red;">Topics</h3>

for instance but I don't know if that's possible to do without involving the developers. That code should make sense to them.

I think that what we see depends on what device we are using. So what you see on your ipad will be a bit different to what I see on my computer monitor. Are you saying that the smilie box is visible even when you are not trying to get a smilie and that is causing you a problem, or that you get to see the full smilie box when needed so am puzzled as to why others can't?

The latter TBH the new format is causing me no major problems , and is not much different ( allowing for colour and spacing)   to what it was previously . The only small gripe I have is the fact that any new PMs are not immedistely visible ....but that's really just a case of getting used to checking every now and then I guess

El....can we have less of the stark background and more condensed topics. I understand that the text is bigger, but there so much wasted space and because of that it's in your face snow blindness.

We can't follow conversations because of the lack of posts we can see in a thread. I took this screenshot last night. We would be grateful if you can find out if gaga are looking at these things. 

MC and I'm a Celeb threads are really suffering because of this and the spell checks are still not working. Saturday night I won't get any replies because no one will be able to follow my drunken posting.

El....can we have less of the stark background and more condensed topics. I understand that the text is bigger, but there so much wasted space and because of that it's in your face snow blindness.

We can't follow conversations because of the lack of posts we can see in a thread. I took this screenshot last night. We would be grateful if you can find out if gaga are looking at these things. 

MC and I'm a Celeb threads are really suffering because of this and the spell checks are still not working. Saturday night I won't get any replies because no one will be able to follow my drunken posting.

Dame, I ll let Lori know about this . As far as the spell checker is concerned, that's an issue affecting all of Social Strata's site and they are working on it.

I can change the background color. What color would be better?

I'm guessing anything but white But you better ask for a vote

Once I've posted a reply I don't get the header choices next time I get a new reply box. Safari 8.0.6. OSX Yosemite. 

Sorry for being dense...but what do you mean by "header choices"?

I mean the box at the top of reply boxes... with all the reply options... smilies, fonts, symbols etc. btw. take it easy. *hugs*

It's below the last response, and above the Add Reply, so you can change it per person. I've changed it to 100 for myself. 

I think the issue is that you guys use quoting.  A LOT. 

Anyway, try that, and see if it works for you.

 us? 

I tried that last night Lori, I will try again tonight and see how it goes...thank you

Point taken.

I do see that you have to do that every time. I might see about putting in a suggestion about setting a default (you guys, not the admin).
