Blog Post CommentRosemary, Any chance you guys could borrow a Nextel camera phone and do a swarm test of the moblogging bug that James and I are experiencing?

Blog Post CommentEmilie, every year around November starts looking for a new paper calendar, and I keep thinking how great it would be if there was a digital solution for her. I use my cell phone, and that works great for me because I have simple calendar needs. But she has massive calendaring voodoo working for her, and needs some serious mojo behind her solution. I cant wait to hear about how this works for you, and maybe look at getting one for her down the road.

Blog Post CommentCongratulations on finishing the cycle. It has been quite the journey for you all. May all your endeavors come to complete fruition.
-
Blog Post CommentIt has been a wild and fun ride that I still don't see an end in sight for both Social Strata and Mindraven. Great bunches of people to work and have fun with on both the hosted and downloadable divisions.
-
Blog Post CommentExciting stuff. I'll have to stop in at ubbcentral.com and say hi.
-
Blog Post CommentYes, I feel very nostalgic about the whole thing, and I'm hoping that Rick takes over the downloadable space completely. He is the man to do it!
-
Blog Post CommentSpeaking of nostalgia, Mr. Capps has re-emerged from his hidden lair.

Blog Post CommentNow we just need Graeme to check in...

Blog Post CommentAh, sorry for being a bit vague, but I meant that I already fiddled with the feature and added a test logo. Is it possible to remove the set logo and go back to using no logo at all? I can find an edit button next to the set logo, but that doesn't seem to allow removal of the logo.

Blog Post CommentSounds good! Yet I hope this 'phasing stage' allows us to make and test a new theme prior to the permanent rollout. Otherwise visitors might feel like they're visiting a different site instead of an updated version of the site they know. That's how important themes are. In my eyes, themes are a site's soul in an otherwise faceless body of information. Maybe make a 'test site' of some sort when the final product is ready? This would allow preparation of a fresh theme without your main site...
-
Blog Post Comment❤️Hi Slaz- Yes, indeed. The whole point of the staging area will be to allow you to create/test themes and custom CSS on the responsive platform prior to actually moving your site onto it.

Blog Post CommentThanks for your comments, James. I don't disagree that Facebook has potential to serve a purpose for keeping in touch. My experience has been that while it has that potential, it doesn't typically play out in practice. I typically have used email/IM for those types of "light" contact, instead. I think that Hoop.la has a lot of the tools that are needed to enable networking and community in an effective way. If you haven't already, I'd recommend you check it out (you can set up a free site to...

Blog Post CommentI think Hoop.la is a brilliant solution to social networking and we're happy to have had the chance to test it out. Our review is here: Hoop.la Review

Blog Post CommentI've been using my earbuds the last couple of days, because of this road construction noise, and it helps. On Facebook, I hide the game posts as they come up, that way I can keep it to the "nuggets". The only problem is that there's no way to do this on the phone app, so I have to log on via computer occasionally to fix this. I'm a bit surprised the iPhone app doesn't have a facility for this, but maybe they will in a future version.

Blog Post CommentThanks for sharing your round-the-country trip. It was so much fun to get new photos of the kids. Though I do think a color timeline to see their tan progression over the last month would be awesome. I'm quite fond of the red disney days. Glad you've all made it back safely!
-
Blog Post CommentWelcome back Rosemary - glad you had a good time

Blog Post CommentGood to know that one can do without one's laptop. I think I'd still have a hard time--it's a security blanket!! Thanks for the reminder about the 1Password--I'll have to get that on my iPad.
-
Blog Post CommentThanks everyone! April, I like your idea of the tan-progression series...we definitely do not look like we belong in Seattle now. I'm sad to announce that the tops of my feet have peeled now, and just look scaly instead of tan. The cloud never formed a true tornado, but we heard later that two semis were blown off the road that afternoon, and there were funnel clouds in the area. We got really lucky. Incidentally, in case I haven't mentioned it before, the BEST blog about iPads is...

Blog Post CommentThat's soo awesome. I wish I could have been there!
-
Blog Post CommentI was there! It was so much fun catching up.

Topic ReplyHi EL LORO, I tested this in Windows 10, all of these are working for me. Windows Edge Firefox Google Chrome Opera It also works in the mobile device emulators here: http://mobiletest.me/htc_one_emulator/ I don't own any Apple devices so I can't test or report on them from direct experience. Interestingly, I use a great product called ActiveWords . It allows you to create keyboard shortcuts. It is similar to AutoHotKey. When I created an ActiveWord for (Enter, Left Arrow, Enter x 3) the...

Topic ReplyHi Rich. Please post your site's url. topic-list-box needs "padding" inside the container: Here's what we're using: .h-ubb-topic-list-box { background-color:#DEDFE0; border:1px solid #DEDFE0; padding:10px; } The How-to: I turn on Chrome's built in "Inspector" to view the CSS which is controlling whatever element I've highlighted on the webpage. (I place my cursor over the element on the site, then right click and select "inspector). Up pops a window with the html and the css source which I...

Topic Reply❤️Let me see if I can get this to work in the wysiwyg editor: This is a test Which definitely works. I think that the issue you are having is that you are trying to use the fas class, which I'm not sure is available in Font Awesome 4.7 (the version we are currently using in Crowdstack). We have plans to upgrade this in an upcoming release. Next, since the WYSIWYG does not have Font Awesome icon support built directly into it you will need to use the "Source code" option on the far right to...

Blog Post CommentNo, I wasn't blocked. I just noticed that in the past if I signed up as a new member under my IP address on my hoop.la site using a different email address as a test member, I could not send a dialog to that test member & I attributed that to having the same IP since I was also the Admin because the system shows the registration IP & the last IP used to login. If the system however is not wired to see that as a conflict, then something else was blocking my ability to receive a dialog...

Blog Post CommentAnother good practice is to 'test' your Knowledge Base with actual people, such as employees or friends at home. Basically, you'd want them to play the role of a customer in need of support having a common problem. Then make them use the site to see if they can find the answer, all while you watch what they're clicking on and looking at. Google does this all the time to improve their web UI's, but they have some nifty glasses that actually register the eye movement of the attendees.

Blog Post Comment❤️I might be wrong but I think sometime in 1997 there was Ultimate Bulletin Board, Version 3.0 - Beta 2 . We had just started our forum then with you guys.
-
Blog Post Comment@Amral Khan yes! Wow, that really brings me back. You need an "OG" badge.
-
Blog Post Comment@Julie Usher - please request a demo site to test Card Mode by creating a new support topic. This goes for any other existing customers that might want to kick the tires. Please note that we won't be able to set you up with a demo site though until after Card Mode is officially released (which should be soon). We will give access to a free demo site for two weeks, so only request it once you are ready to spend time to properly test it. Thanks!
-
Blog Post CommentI'm not ready to test it right now (it's coming at the busiest time of the year . . .), so it sounds like I shouldn't set up a support topic just yet. And I'm not able to monitor this site in the next few weeks to know when you release it. I think it would make more sense for you to open up a thread on the topic for everyone once you've released the feature - and just ask people to comment there if/when they want to test it. Thanks!
-
Topic ReplyOK, thanks for that. I will have to dig in with a test account on my site.

Crowdstack Discussion👏Hello, I’ve read over the “fork in the road” email. At the end of the email there’s an email address for us to contact the help desk CS Helpers. Is this space closed forever now? 😭 I had a question about finding photos I’ve uploaded onto my “ CS Pro” as it’s now called. Should I email the question? Thank you for your time. Love, PT ps adding a pic just because 🌸
