Cratter Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 I'm always surprised how much people do use non-forum pages on the site. I think I'm fooled because the rest isn't particularly interactive so I feel like that stuff is unused, but people come out in force when I try to cut something, and then I check the stats and realize how much they're read.When I remember to use it, its good stuff and enjoy having everything UND Sports related in one place (probably the only place on the web?)But I usually just find out about any of the "real newsworthy" stuff on the board that someone posted info about. Likes todays announcement of hosting the NCAA regional again in Fargo. Quote
Cratter Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Am I the only one that finds it hard to delete a "wrong quote"?This software has a good "memory" of what you want to quote, but sometimes I click the wrong one and it keeps poping up. No biggie, until I try and delete it out of the reply area, the page/paragraph line "break" seems almost impossible to delete sometimes. Quote

Clicking the "source" button in the upper left to get to the actual HTML always work if you're comfortable working in the HTML, but if you mess up things can go horribly wrong.The creator of the software seems aware, and they intend to make additional editor improvements in the next version:https://community.invisionpower.com/blogs/entry/9739-ips-community-suite-41-editor-update/ 1 Quote
Cratter Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I will say that the forums nice thick dark line between my last read post and the newer posts is a nice added touch. Now I can scroll to the new post without searching and reading through old ones to find the new one. 1 Quote
Goon Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Right. The site used to automatically find stories from blogs but let users submit individual news articles (two separate pages/feeds). But users weren't submitting much news, and the line between blogs and news was becoming blurry.So, going forward, blogs and news will be on the same page and the site will try to automatically find both, so there should be no need for users to submit individual articles.Are getting closer to this happening?

jimdahl Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 Are getting closer to this happening? I'm still trying to decide whether there should be any coordination between redesign and nickname change. Of course I'm also just really bad at releasing new stuff (that's what you get for free); but running the new one in parallel with this for the last few months has helped me improve the new one a lot. So, it'll happen when it happens Quote

I know on the old software when you clicked the headline or post it took you directly to that certain post within the thread.Does this software not have that or am I not finding it? It just seems to take me to the beginning of the thread and I have to search the entire thread for it. Quote

When you look at the user's feed and it says something like "Cratter has a post in the topic Scheduled downtime/maintenance", there are actually two links. "post in a topic" is a link directly to your post, "Scheduled downtime/maintenance" is a link to the front of the thread. Quote
