Blog Post CommentOriginally Posted by Rosemary O'Neill: One final tip: there's no crying in baseball. This job requires someone who can think on their feet, be resourceful, deal with slings and arrows effectively, suppress their own ego, and keep a cool head at all times. It's a tall order, but you're not alone out there! D*mn straight. I think my year long stint as a forum moderator of two forums stretched me more personally than any other job has before. I have the greatest of respect for anyone who does...

Blog Post CommentSo right, LOM, and that's another great tip: be ready to admit if you screw up. Thanks for adding that one in there....it's an important one.

Blog Post CommentWas this an offer to be a Community mgr? Lil FYI, the main page video does not show up in IE 9. It's just a red x, unless you hit compatibility mode.

Blog Post CommentThat was a generous offer in my email Rosemary, of "one of the coolest, most challenging jobs on earth".(In the email that was sent to everyone who has a watch on Social Strata I would guess). Not sure I can fit in the post of 'community manager' in as I am a full time grandparent these days and looking after my kids is far and away more preferable than a similar job on the UK Big Brother forum.......... Good luck though

Blog Post CommentThanks JC, we'll look into that bug... Little did I know that the way I chose to start this blog entry would confuse so many people! Sorry about that... We're also dealing with a possible notification glitch that sent email notices to a much larger group than it should have. If you received the email notice of this post and didn't want it, we apologize!

Blog Post CommentIs there a way to disable the " Unified Posting Button on Home Page"?
-
Blog Post CommentHi jpmfan, Yep, you can do that with custom CSS. Just add this code to the Custom CSS section on the Display Settings page in your control panel: #overviewPostingOptionsButtonWrapper {display:none;} Hope that helps, Brian

Blog Post CommentHow many clients did this go out to? How many suggestions did you have to do this? I refer to the slide show.

Blog Post CommentHi Jon, This release went out to all Hoop.la, UBB Forum, and QuestionShark customers. We've had numerous requests for slideshow functionality over the past year or so (I don't have an exact figure to give). We support slideshows now via the Clips widget Ted mentioned as well as on the Clips page itself. Hope that helps, Brian

Blog Post CommentAlways appreciate your releases but disappointed you've stopped giving them creative names. We implemented your suggested CSS code to suppress the new Post Content button. Our Reason: at our site it would likely invite too many improperly located or duplicate topics. I do like the idea of encouraging posts, however, so I'm wondering about a widget that features the current "hot topic" (as determined by activity/views/whatever) and has a 'reply now' button to catch interest on the home page.

Blog Post CommentI'm glad we can now add members in the backend. In the past I've attempted to do this refreshing obsolete accounts with new personage to take over the account, but when I'd open a dialog with them, the system wouldn't allow me to message the member due to the same IP I guess. So I'm wondering, will I have the same problem under the new release if I register people.

Blog Post CommentHi Lhisa, Hoop.la doesn't do any checks based on IP address that would prevent you from sending a dialog to another user. Users can choose to prevent others from sending them dialogs, however (assuming you are talking about dialogs). Thus, the new feature that allows you to register users through the control panel should behave the same way. The only difference is that you will not be logged in as the new user (as you would have previously). Without knowing exactly what error you're getting,...

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...
