NI Discussion Forum Upgrade - August 13, 2008

[altenbach]

OK, let me try....

OK. We need:

• Please make the URL the active field. When I open the image dialog, I want to paste right away, without having to first click in the url filed. 
• We need a way to retain the aspect ratio (above I only changed the horizontal resolution, pretty ugly).
• The dialog should say which one of the numbers is width and which is height.
• Actually, I would prefer if we could only change the width and the height will be calculated by the system for correct aspect ratio.

I agree with tst. I really don't like the narrow view as it takes a lot longer to scroll through all of the messages and I've learned to ignore all of the ratings and probably will in the future.

Dennis,

You can go to "My Profile>>> Tagging" and uncheck the enable tagging box to disable the tag cloud and get the wide view back again.

The option to show the tags at the bottom of the sreen broke with the upgrade.

The img tag links seem to have broke again.

The new forum does look different.  Probably nicer.

Had another strange behavior while writing a post this morning.  The DELete key was not deleting text.  It now works with this post. And works with other programs.

Just noting it in case someone else observes this behavior.

My personal taste:  I would have moved the tags to above the list of posts (same top area as announcements) and allow the post titles to be wider.

I believe the forum forced my "use tag" flag back on again. Did anyone else turn it off yesterday and found it on again this AM?

I'm sorry that the images are broken again

And I don't know why our tagging settings were reset again last night.

I am following-up with Lithium now.

Thanks,

Images are fixed again.  I'm working to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Thanks for your patience,

Does the toolbar take a few seconds to draw or is it just me.

Also I clicked on the Emotions button, you now get a samll popup but that takes a few quite a few seconds to fill. ( attached picture as I captured it before it completed.)

In fact it takes even longer when you edit the message

 

Regards

Ray
