    Re: How to Encourage Community Members to Post

    Thanks Rosemary for the tips. I especially like the Survey idea. Once upon a time, we used them to actually "survey" members about issues/ideas, but now I see that it's also a good idea to provide a point of easy-engagement. Update: We just posted a single survey question and got over a hundred engagements in the first two days One thing we've tried to do is assign "monitoring and response" duties to various members of our admin/moderator group so that every post gets responded to. These...

    Hi, Brian: I see the check box when configuring circles at the site level. Of course, all of this is more convoluted for me because we are using groups in an unconventional way. So when I looked at configuring circles at the group level, there is no checkbox for VIewable By Super Admins Only (I thought you'd get a chuckle out of this one). After poking around a bit with a couple of my dummy accounts, it looks like the Viewable By Super Admins Only default applies to group level circles by...

    Re: The Personalized Activity Stream Release
    Julie Usher
    Hi, I'm especially excited about the photo change. Thanks! I did, though, have two questions about the personalized activity stream. I had an activity stream on my home page (Member Milestones and More!), but I don't see a way to personalize it (see screen shot below). Why not? And, two, I don't understand this comment, "In addition, there is a new Personal Activity Stream page available whenever the Activity Stream is enabled for your site." (1) How do you enable the Activity Stream (I...

    Add me to the group trying to figure this out. What is different here for a user beyond what they have already had within the notifications area? And where do I find this in my Admin Control panel to set it up, if I want to use it?

    The biggest difference is portability. Since it's a widget, you can now put the personalized activity stream anywhere you want in the interface. Also, I think it appeals to people who are more used to the "feed" mentality, where you can see a page with "just your stuff" on it. You don't have to turn the personalized activity stream on or off, it should just be there if your users want to see it (if you are using the Activity Stream at all, which you turn on or off in the Structure area of...

    Re: Use uppercase for top navigation menu text
    Ted @ Crowdstack
    It is the same thing, Neil. I used the term "Top Navigation Menu" to differentiate from the side navigation menu used in the admin control panel (and in our QuestionShark module/product). And in the Theme editor, we also use the term "Top Navigation Menu" as well, to differentiate from the Side Navigation Menu. But yes, the Top Navigation Menu is the same as the Community Menu. None of these menus are "breadcrumbs", however.

    This gave me a lot to think about - thanks Rosemary! My problem is that I am looking for something specific.... farmers and gardeners that are from Vermont. But, figuring that any exposure is good exposure, I created a Squidoo lense that's a near copy of a blog post I made as well as created a new board on Pinterest (I love Pinterest anyway so this comes easy). I like to troll the VT Craigslist for new members (Farm and Garden section) and have also posted to the online bulletin board of...

    No, 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...

    Ted @ Crowdstack
    Hi Richard- There is no setting to prevent it, but you could apply some custom CSS to hide it: div.likeReplyColumn { display:none !important; } (Add that to your Custom CSS field in Display Settings in your admin control panel.)

    Re: Quick Tip: The Pros and Cons of Using Community Groups

    I use groups in my choir community so that smaller working groups (committees) have a place to work that is apart from the main community. These little dedicated areas allow Production, Promotion, and Fundraising committees to do their work and keep their documents in a separate place, so they can maintain focus without the distraction of the main community activity. Love the blog photo. Best ever!

    Re: Quick Tip: The Pros and Cons of Using Community Groups

    ❤️
    We love groups and the key to making them work is to really think about how to "architect" the information flow. You want the group to contain the information valuable to the participants, but want to be sure you're not managing duplicate content within the groups; which makes it hard to manage. Let me elaborate: Our groups care for separate partner organizations, all of which have different focuses, products and concerns. The assigned admin of the group keeps their section updated with the...

    The principles of when and how to use "group" is a good guide to reflect, so thanks. I'm not a community manager, simply a moderator type, with ideas and attempts to develop communities of a few sorts, help inspire use. It seems to me need to have an actual project and a small group, to utilize application in order to be able to bridge to any "organizational" level engagement. again, thanks, good to hear others sharing their ideas

    Thanks for sharing your insights Lori, Erin, and Bill! Erin I consider you the "groups sensei." It would be cool to do a focused case study on how you're doing that (And Lori, I definitely had you in mind when I picked that photo, hehe.)

    Re: Preparing for the GDPR (EU Privacy Regulations)
    neil
    #3 "request deletion of all of their content by the admin" is a problem for message threads where a user's content is critical to the rest of the user's messages in that thread. They should not have the right to ruin other people's contributions if their post is important or replied to. What I would suggest is that they have the right to remove their NAME from posted content, not the content itself, in order to make their content anonymous. At our 'lesson' content site, we view all posts as...

    Re: Preparing for the GDPR (EU Privacy Regulations)

    That item is a "request" by the member for the admin to delete their content. You can refuse to delete their content, if you feel it's within your rights. We're just providing the mechanism that will support compliance with GDPR; what you choose to do with it is your decision as the owner/admin. Unfortunately, when technological solutions are legislated, they don't always think of the consequences for all scenarios. Sadly, online communities were not really given deep consideration when...

    Re: Handy Tips for Migrating a Facebook Group to Crowdstack
    neil
    ☝️
    Thanks Rosemary. I like the image of FB as a "feeder outpost." That's how we use it, though as a "Page" instead of a "Group." In our experience, having a "page" on FB is even less of an outpost than it used to be. Over the last two or three years, we've seen them severely limit the amount of "organic" (unpaid) "reach." New posts to our Page used to get seen by half of our followers on FB, but now we're lucky to get 20% reach into the newsfeeds of those who ASKED to follow us. Reason: FB...

    Looking forward to learning the new admin layout, Ted. As a long time customer, I'm impressed with how often you not only improve the product but evolve it. I understand what you are changing "graemlins" to "emoticons" but hope it doesn't mean you're planning to someday retire the animated graemlins. I've always enjoyed them, think they're superior to boring emoticons, and consider them to be a bit of both your company's "DNA" and my own online

    Re: A new email digest system for Crowdstack
    ANON_BM
    Imagine a classic truck site if you will... it would be broken down by make and generation... I may be interested in the "1st Gen Ford F Series 1948-1952", but the the Chevrolet C10 Forum, and now it looks like the only option will be to follow all trucks of all models and generations instead of the ones particular to me. Just as @Ted @ Crowdstack erroneously presumed I was a site admin, Crowdstack erroneously presumes they know best for notifications and removes features and flexibility.

    Re: Notifying Members When Banning

    I would also like to support this suggestion. I would also add that this same behavior should take place when declining an applicant to our forums. I would actually like to see that any time you perform a negative action, the admin is presented with a choice to notify or not. Thanks for suggesting this @GidgetKat . Great suggestion.

    Re: Subgroup Alerts
    Rosemary O'Neill
    This answer assumes you haven't enabled " Digest Mode ." Subgroups have default new member settings for notifications, so you (the admin) can control the default notification behavior in the subgroup (min, medium, or max). Also, similar to the way it works at the top level, members can tweak their own preferences for each subgroup as well. When the member goes to their profile, under Settings > Notifications, there is a tab devoted to subgroups. All notifications will respect the member's...

    MENU ITEM LINKS OPEN in a NEW WINDOW or TAB
    Rich Melvin1 reply
    🎉❤️
    There are certain menu items in our Crowdstack Top Menu Bar that link off-site, so we would like them to open in a new browser window or tab. The "Edit Menu Item" feature within the admin area does not provide a place to enter the target="_blank" code. I figured out how to do this with some JavaScript, but I had top-level technical help to do it, which might not be available to everyone. If you could incorporate code to provide the means to open a menu link in a new window or tab, similar to...
