Just want to let you know that we're tweaking the design of several pages but may be returning things pending your feedback. I know that any change has a stress component and few like to relearn where things are. Hang in there... hopefully, we'll all converge design/feedback by the end of the week. Let us know in this thread which changes you like and which need more work. Thanks!
@Admin How about a dark settings option like the sister site has? For night reading, all dark background with light colored wording. The upload videos on profile does not work along with the editing of profile questions.
Okay ...
A criticism I’ve made before but maybe differently.
I think there needs to be a “check” on consecutive posts ... or daily posts ... or something by any single person or maybe allow 2 by a person and then hold for an hour or something.
There are a few people who are simply copying a small piece of an article and then a link to it.
This is fine though I would wish they made some sort of personal comment to let US know WHY They posted it.
What really bothers me is there are those people who are simply posting links one after the other ... 5-6-7 ... 10 in a row and obliterating any sort of “Forum” aspect as their links push everything off the landing page ... even off the “see more” page.
Actually, at 6AM EST on Feb21 someone has posted 28 links in a row (a stack) followed by someone posting 14 (a stack) ... ALL on Feb 21 before 6AM EST
Right now there’s someone who has posted, I think, 10 or more links to the Wall Street Journal ... in a “Stack” ...
This practice is turning IDW into somebody’s personal version of Drudge or Whatfinger but usually using a single source (do we Really need to see 14 plus Wall Street Journal pieces from this morning?)
I could easily “name names” but, its easy to see who they are. I don’t know if this is an attempt to boost their “Level” or to simply Monopolize the Forum ... heck, maybe they actually believe We should be fascinated by Everything They are Looking at ... but it wrecks the concept of being a “Forum or Discussion Site.”
Who's brainwave was it to lose the next post button? Makes browsing a real pain, please put it back
I have two suggestions. First I think the person's profile image, if they have one should be a bit larger in the listings of new posts. A little easier to see who posted what. Second I have not been able to edit comments I leave on other people's posts. And being a lousy typist I generally need to do that A LOT. So setting that up would be great.
Can’t post
The submit post button doesn’t show
I'm hating all they've changed, , nothing easy anymore
Still dancing around, here...but enjoying myself. Don't have anything by way of suggestion to offer. Seems that you're paying attention and working through stuff.
I haven't contacted but one or 2 old FB Friends because I'm kind of diggin' the new neighborhood sans old baggage.
I think you're doing just fine! T
I’m stressing ... STRESSING!!! I tell you!!!
You could alleviate that stress by sending a bottle of Lagavulin 16yo to the following address ...
Actually I think you’re doing fine to date ... no idea what the changes will bring ...
I still have NO CLUE what to do with these “coins” they look suspiciously like participation awards we can hand out to each other ... and are of similar value.
I think the idea was to be able to show appreciation for someone you find to be informative, and interesting on a consistent basis, a little pat on the butt if you will, LOL
The Coins could be exchanged for site merchandise- hat/shirt/coffee mug etc...
@SpikeTalon
Really? There’s a place to buy stuff? Not that I need stuff but hey ... can always use another coffee mug.
@Bay0Wulf When you click on your Coins count, should be an option that comes up directing you to the site store.
