Topic: New forum features

We released a few enhancements to the forum last night. You can now view all threads that you are subscribed to and also view all of your posts. There are links in the blue tool bar at the top. In addition, you can search through your posts by keyword if you want to find a particular conversation.

Re: New forum features

All good improvements and the "Show your posts" is a particularly great/useful enhancement. Thanks. Take care. Vern

Re: New forum features

I see the new "Home" button (which wasn't really necessary because the left-side logo was a Home button), but I'll be darned if I can find the "show your posts" button.  I just don't see it.

EDIT: Operator Error.  I see it now.  I was looking on the Home page instead of on a forum page.

Re: New forum features

Tom, it's in the blue box at the top:
Show your posts     Show subscribed topics    A little orange square with white lines     RSS topic feed    Subscribe

Re: New forum features

More precisely, the blue bar.  It's not clear whether they are like text links, where you have to hit the text, or whether they are buttons, with a region around the text that responds to the input.

Anywhere within the text it lights up and is clickable; outside the text it does nothing. Guess that would be a text-long defined button, lol. Take care. Vern

Edited to add: Except the "Show Subscribed Topics" which is the longest "button" already, extends slightly beyond the text, but whose counting; I mean, I should be able to hit somewhere in any of them even after a few too many drinks.

Re: New forum features

thank you for all your hard work SoIn.  You make this site a great place to learn our craft.  I'm really excited about the upcoming class!

Re: New forum features

Is it possible to set up a calendar where authors could post notices (and links, if it doesn't conflict with site policy) of release date, signings, classes, etc.?  Would it be of use to anybody? JP

Re: New forum features

Love that idea, jp.  The old forums group will let you announce signings, releases, etc.

Re: New forum features

Sounds terrific. I second.

Kiss,

Gacela.
