Dear Community,
We were pleased to see so many comments about the community on the recent thread about the Leader Board. We are always wanting to learn more about how we can develop the community and so have locked the previous thread so that all comments and suggestions about general improvements to the community can now be placed here on this thread.
Please comment here on any ideas, improvements or feedback you have about the Online Community.
Please note that although we take on board all your ideas, we may not be able to implement all of them.
As always, please be kind and respectful when commenting to each other.
Thanks,
NAS Moderators
Good Evening NAS, and to any who may read, and Glad Tidings to WebPM especially. I have not Posted for almost a week, and so I think that I aught to try to say something helpful somewhere by now... and so reiterating a few pertinent matters here may suffice...
Please install the functions (Buttons): To Bottom Back To Top
...and, please excuse my manners, yet...
POSTS ARE STILL DISAPPEARING/REAPPEARING AT RANDOM!
...And I am not the only one experiencing this. (And Please start a New Thread like this one, for this one is Long.) Thank you for your time. おやすみなさい.
Since I've been mentioned by name, I thought I'd better comment
We are listening, i.e. reading this thread and similar ones. I'm sorry that we're not able to respond all the time. There are lots of ideas, and we're not really able to take them all up with our available resources, so an important part is trying to understand which ones the largest number of you support. We're therefore at present still focused on the issue of identifying the latest messages in a complex thread, and we are working on that one actively.
I should note, however, that we are using commercial software. So, we want to limit the degree to which we customise it, as this can have consequences for keeping it running in future versions. Therefore, for some issues (for example the Load Next/Previous behaviour), I have gone back to the developers' own forum, to discuss with other user sites the way the system works - the aim being to get improvements in the package itself.
We'll look at the Hints and Tips points, as that's just a matter of creating the relevant page(s). The aim of putting them with the threads was to have them accessible and visible when the issue arises. For example, as I write, there's a reminder of how to mention someone. However, drawing them together as well wouldn't do any harm - especially because mobile users won't see them until the bottom of the page whereas, on desktop, they are right alongside the box as I type.
So, all ideas are valued, and I'm sorry we aren't able to take them all up immediately.
Regards
To WebPM alone...
For what it is worth, I *do* express a Thank You Very Much! You are lucid and honest, and... as you should know... Please always be careful and considerate. Good Fortune to your good self from myself...
(I still do not Post hugs or kisses, though... well, we are all different in our own manners, as you know! I just reeeeeally mean what I say, and Thus I do not say much, you see...) ありがとございます,"ウェブプム"さん!
