Great news, Ted. As I said in another thread, you guys constantly amaze me!

Blog Post CommentNice changes! One question: If you don't have groups or portfolios enabled, and added the Community Logo, is it possible to go back to using no logo at all (like on this site)?
-
Blog Post CommentSlaz- Yes, definitely. The logo is only required currently if you have groups or portfolios enabled.
-
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 Comment❤️Hi Slaz- Sounds like just something we need to fix. We probably just need to add a delete option for that scenario. These sorts of things are really better suited for our support site, but I will go ahead and add that to our to-do list so we can fix it.
-
Blog Post CommentAh, sorry for bringing it up here. Thanks for adding it to the list though!
-
Blog Post Comment❤️Hi Slaz, We just deployed the fix so that you can remove the community logo now. Thanks again for bringing it to our attention! Brian
-
Blog Post CommentThank you Brian! And not related to this release yet still important: Merry christmas to you and your colleagues!

Blog Post CommentThanks Ted, any news as to if post preview made it into the next update?

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 CommentGreat news Ted, I look forward to seeing how you handle things so I can gather more ideas to use in my own updates Question, in the last few days I updated to windows 10. Have you encountered any issues going with existing RD coding? Or is Windows 10 behaving.. lol
-
Blog Post Comment❤️Hi JC- No, we have not seen any issue with Windows 10 so far, though of course there is still much more testing to do. I don't really expect many issues though. The new Edge browser is still the biggest unknown but assuming it is standards-compliant (which I expect it to be), hopefully the issues there are minimal as well (and would likely just be due to bugs in that very-new browser). I'm very excited that Microsoft is finally offering an evergreen browser though... that will be great for...
-
Blog Post CommentI've used the latest version of Microsoft Edge on various Hoop.la sites (and Hoo.do) and there are literally no errors in markup or visual differences with Chrome (the browser I use for default). Only thing that you may notice is Microsoft's 'ClearType' technology that's on by default. It tries to smooth out the edges of fonts to offer more readable text, but I don't like it myself. Otherwise I agree with Ted that it's a huge step forward from any version of Internet Explorer.

Blog Post CommentHI. I work on ACEs Connection and i had tried to log into the Beta site to review the new set up but it seems to not recognize my user name (which is the name that I have in my ACEs Connection Network account). Not sure what to do?
-
Blog Post CommentHi Gail, for the beta sites, only the SuperAdmin account is recognized, so you need to login with that account (you can have the SuperAdmin set up a fresh password when you're done). If you need more help with this, please email [email protected] and we can troubleshoot with you.

Topic ReplyHello, I still cannot get this to work! This is what I'm posting into the " Custom Code For HEAD Section": div#horizontalNavMenuSecondaryWrapper { width:100%; } #menuWhitespaceTd .horizontalMenuWhitespace { display:none; } table.horizontalMenu { margin:auto; width:300px; } This code shows up ABOVE my forum banner, on all pages. Am I missing something??? Thank you in advance for all help!

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 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 CommentThat's soo awesome. I wish I could have been there!
-
Blog Post CommentI was there! It was so much fun catching up.
-
Topic ReplyI've passed this tip on in another forum. It works fine for me (Firedox,Windows 7) but is not working for others. For instance it doesn't seem to work for ipads.
-
Topic ReplyNeil, I genuinely appreciate what you have done here. CSS is a little beyond my knowledge envelope and I really don't understand where to find the things to change, as you have done here. I have used a couple of your custom CSS codes in our site, with a nice improvement in its appearance. I have run into one problem, however. I have placed this code into our site: .h-ubb-directory-forum-box { background-color:#ffffff;border:1px solid #555555;padding:15px; } .h-ubb-topic-list-box {...

Blog Post CommentHey Ted, looking forward to playing with recipes. Do you know if the release would have inadvertently impacted our permissions groups. We have one group who lost the ability to edit member posts in the forum they were assigned to. I had to go back and give them the Moderate Content permission. Thanks.
-
Blog Post CommentHi Augie, The Recipes release shouldn't have impacted your forum permissions in any way. Is it possible that another administrator made the permission change? Regards, Brian
-
Blog Post CommentThanks Brian, will do. Really interested in the possibilities of recipes. The company I work for has a home-grown forum system that isn't doing well so I took them on a tour of the Hoop.la site I manage and they were very impressed. IMO it would be better to migrate to a Hoop.la community than continue down the path of the DIY approach. I'll submit a support topic to discuss the trigger for the scenario we've been talking about.

Blog Post CommentExcellent! Any projected time frame for roll out? We want to be beta testers!! Lynda
-
Blog Post CommentHi Lynda- Your site will be set up on our upgrade/beta server around the end of August, assuming current projections hold up. While on that server, you will be able to create new theme(s) and change other settings so you can see what your site looks like on the new codebase. Then, once that "upgrade/beta" period ends, we will start the process of upgrading all live sites to the new codebase (and we will bring over all new themes/settings you set on that beta/upgrade server over automatically...

Blog Post CommentRe: Responsive Project Update I feel your pain Ted. I'm facing the reworking of 3 sites to be responsive. All I can say is this better not be a fad like previous "new methods" from the past that came and went. LOL That said, it does make sense to be as versatile as possible. Our audience is no longer PC/Mac, it is mobile and beyond. We simply cannot be without a connection to whatever it is we simply must have access to. Anyone remember Mosaic, the good old days. Only one browser.. lol
-
Blog Post CommentAgree with you JC - we are now 65% mobile, and climbing every month. The responsive design website we just completed in March has seen a terrific improvement in pages per user, minutes on site and a much lower bounce rate. Right now those metrics are a combination of our responsive website plus our hoop.la community. So those metrics should improve even more once our community is responsive. And yes, I remember Mosaic. And dial up. Neither are pleasant memories.
-
Blog Post CommentOriginally Posted by Lynda: And yes, I remember Mosaic. And dial up. Neither are pleasant memories. Dial up, is not a pleasant memory. But one browser.. ONE!.. lol Then Netscape, then it which shall not be named (IE). Chrome, Safari, and on and on.. and don't get me started on Android. It's like computing started all over again. A reverse big bang. LOL
-
Blog Post CommentNice hearing from you, JC! I'm confident in the future of responsive design, though of course techniques and best practices will change over time. But the overall approach is unquestionably solid. From a browser standpoint, the best recent news is that Microsoft's next browser will be evergreen . The biggest handicap to web design has always been having to continue to support IE's archaic versions.

Blog Post CommentWill our existing non-responsive header & footer HTML & images be copied over so I can at least adapt those on the day it's moved?
-
-
Blog Post CommentTed, as a follow up to this question about headers and footers - is this something we can ask for a quote on to have your team make our header and footer responsive for us? I just remember the code conflicts we had to deal with when we tried to do our own code.

Blog Post CommentThanks Ted. We've already started using this at www.rotation.org to remind members about a Poll we have running.

Blog Post CommentI must be looking in the wrong place. How can I use this feature? Is it a widget or something is settings?
