On the main forum page <a href="http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/">('FORUM')</a>, you see the last poster's name; if you enter either <a href="http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/forum.php?id=2">CHAT</a> or <a href="http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/forum.php?id=3">WRITERS' ROOM</a> via the 'quick links' at the top of the page, you see the author's name. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=117#post-522 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:52:15 +0000 rickwestwell 522@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Just seen your FP yesterday, Mr Ed - great stuff!!! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=117#post-510 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 12:04:43 +0000 fun and games 510@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I thought that the whole point of putting the last name was so someone can see if anything has been added to a thread without opening it? So that shouldn't disappear Nice Admin Lady, even if the author's name is kept. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=98#post-448 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 23:55:46 +0000 malgor 448@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Now that the two rooms display the title, author and first few lines of each submission, it's really easy to spot the one-liners without extra clicking. Good work! Can't really see any need now for a 'more soon' sub-cat. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=98#post-442 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 22:35:53 +0000 sauce 442@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Oh you're so <em>good</em> NAL.<br /> Now it's nice and clear. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=117#post-371 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 12:54:11 +0000 Nice Admin Lady 371@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Hang on for that - it's coming. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=98#post-366 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 12:12:51 +0000 jp1885 366@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p><blockquote>It's not so easy to score anymore either...have the dealers been moved on? </blockquote></p> <p>You have to log in first. Then a row of 5 stars will appear at the top left corner of the page of whatever article you're reading. The far lft-hand star = 1 = poor, moving along the right to the 5th star = very funny. If you hover your cursor over each star it should tell you what each of them means, I think.</p> <p>Edit: The ratings are 'Poor' - 'Works' - 'Good' - 'Great' - 'Fantastic!' </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=117#post-363 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 12:10:04 +0000 jp1885 363@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>If we tag our user names when we write an article, it would make finding our back catalogues a bit easier. Other than that, you have to got to the post itself to see who originated it, I think. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=117#post-350 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 10:31:08 +0000 edward hack 350@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Is there a way to permanently credit the actual poster of the sub itself, rather than the latest commentator on the sub....or am I not pressing the right buttons.<br /> Maybe insert (name tag) at beginning of headline </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=98#post-336 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 09:46:58 +0000 edward hack 336@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>It's not so easy to score anymore either...have the dealers been moved on? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=98#post-329 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 09:27:07 +0000 Nice Admin Lady 329@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I thought tags initially - but it means everybody using them. I don't want to regulate how tags are used, but if we stuck to the more soon tags it'd be great. That way there will be the navigation on the left hand side as well as the main headers.</p> <p>The other option is I can create 'news in brief' sub categories in the forum, and 'more soons'. What do you think?</p> <p>Also check out latest views, which is right at the bottom of the front page, it has some useful navigation things. Have you spotted in your own profile as well you can see things you've contributed to?</p> <p>There is a way to see everything in one go - the RSS feed. The reason why modern chat rooms tend not to work in this way is because of the all important page impressions, as it's beneficial to have people clicking around the site more. But the RSS feeds, if tags were used everywhere, bookmarkable, so you can add this link to your RSS reader (it won't work if you just click on it, you need to have something like <a href="http://www.google.com/reader/view/">google reader</a> - set up Then you add this link into it. <a href="http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/rss.php?tag=more-soon">More soon RSS url</a> ) The RSS feeds for this topic, for this forum, for this user are very advanced on NB, so that might be helpful as well. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=98#post-327 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 09:14:06 +0000 Mary Evans 327@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I second that emotion - esp as when one is panning for NiBs, it's much slower if you have to open every post to see what length it is. Is there a way to see all the posts, not just the heading? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=98#post-317 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 08:17:20 +0000 jp1885 317@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Maybe we could put something in the tags? 'more soon' for one-liners, 'full article' or something more imaginative, for, er, full articles. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=98#post-312 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 07:58:56 +0000 Stan Laurel 312@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Sauce, just you and me logged it at the moment. Headlines could be signified by adding a (H) after the hesding. Messy but a could become accepted NB practive in time. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=98#post-311 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 07:21:30 +0000 sauce 311@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Would it be possible to somehow distinguish pieces that are just a title from those that contain body text? Saves clicking on non-existant stuff. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=44#post-149 Sun, 14 Feb 2010 15:38:05 +0000 malgor 149@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Yes, 'latest post' link is very handy. Also, I worked out that clicking the <em>#</em> at the end of a post is 'page down' where there are more posts than fit on a page. Top marks for the navigation features! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=44#post-146 Sun, 14 Feb 2010 14:40:10 +0000 sauce 146@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Just to add to the wish-list (sorry to be a pest but...):</p> <p>Please can we have a "back to top" button or similar on each post of a topic (or have I missed it?)</p> <p>Thanks for the "last post" link at the top of a topic - very handy. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=35#post-127 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 23:07:39 +0000 The All New Jeni B 127@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thanks Admin Lady. I'm still confused, but that's less to do with you and more to do with my complete stupidity.</p> <p>By the way, I think you should be looking for more than just cake and tea. With the hours you're putting in, you should have a swingy leather chair too. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=35#post-121 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 23:01:04 +0000 admin 121@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Ok so previously you could go to writer's room or the chat room - here it starts off on one page, then splits into two. You can still link into just the writer's room or just the chat room, but a lot of the features use the 'home page' of newsbiscuit.com/forum as their starting point. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=35#post-119 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 22:58:32 +0000 The All New Jeni B 119@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Main page?! Is there a new one, or are we talking about the old main page?<br /> I am <em>so</em>confused by all this. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=35#post-115 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 21:56:43 +0000 sauce 115@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Down in the basement? Ah, I wasn't going down there on my own in the dark - in case of spiders. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=35#post-108 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 19:59:47 +0000 malgor 108@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Sauce, I just spotted that the choice of WR or CR are already on the main page - they're currently at the bottom of the page. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=35#post-107 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 18:02:12 +0000 sauce 107@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Cheers, wonderful admin lady </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=35#post-98 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 10:43:59 +0000 admin 98@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I'm going to change the navigation system around on Wednesday - and put the links to chat room/writers room up top. I don't think it's as useful the list of all recent posts for us, so will see if I can fix that. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=35#post-94 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 07:55:09 +0000 sauce 94@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thanks, Malgor, I'd worked that out on experimentation. But there's no way to chose one or the other on first entry as there's just a full list of ALL the posts in both. So it's a matter of clicking one at random then seeing where one lands. Maybe no bad thing, I suppose.<br /> Phased, Scroat? Takes a lot to phase me. Even chutney flavoured knickers (or knicker flavoured chutney - I never did work out which was worse) merely made me shake my head and carry on at work. But I do like it when things work as they probably should. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=35#post-90 Fri, 12 Feb 2010 22:59:41 +0000 Scroat 90@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>It will be fine. I refuse to be phased by change. When you are it's a bad sign. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=35#post-89 Fri, 12 Feb 2010 22:47:24 +0000 malgor 89@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Click the <strong>2nd</strong> Newsbiscuit (in Newsbiscuit &gt;&gt; Newsbiscuit), then you get the choice between Writer's Room and Chat Room.</p> <p>PS Hello sauce. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=35#post-86 Fri, 12 Feb 2010 22:32:01 +0000 sauce 86@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>In the hierarchy I can see Newsbiscuit&gt;&gt;Newsbiscuit&gt;&gt;chat OR Writersroom BUT how does one find one or t'other from the main "Newsbiscuit"? (If you see what I mean? erm ...not sure I'm explaining it very well, being a bear of very little ...)</p> <p>Aside from that it's all so clean and fresh and no one has spilled coffee or left anything sticky. Very pleasant surroundings and all mod cons with the coding etc. </p>
