Larger avatar

This is a test to see how this new section works.

 

Most of us have already requested, to be able to actually *see* each other, by the use of our avatar images being larger. We also know that this is in the works. Sooner is better please! :smileyhappy:

 

Thank you much! :smileyhappy:

I've figured out how to do this within the platform (they'd changed it from their initial instructions) and will be deploying it shortly. Avatar pictures on threads will be larger if they are uploaded by the individual, i.e. non-generic, as will profile pictures. Enjoy!

A sub-folder for Red Riders/Tour de Cure?

Status: Implemented

There's a sub-folder under the director's corner for STEP Out, but shouldn't there be the same for the Tour de Cure events?  Doing this may help get information from one site to the othes with some facilitation by the ADA rather than on our own and exclusively through Facebook than here.

Default for Link Posting

Status: Implemented

This is a minor issue but can you change the default for the Link posting to "open in a new window" instead of "open in this window".  It might just be my personal preference but I don't like to leave the board when clicking to follow a link.

 

Thanks...and a custom user setting for default font size and type would be great!

Status: Implemented
I tend to agree with Trisha on this one. The option is available, and some people prefer one over the other. Also, if one simply inserts a hyperlink without using the menu item, i.e. if you type "www.diabetes.org" or "http://www.diabetes.org", it will automatically hyperlink that text and set to open it a new window. So, in a sense, this is already implemented.

"Veiw first unread"

Status: Implemented
by toadhunter911 on ‎02-27-2012 10:13 AM

Most of the other online communities I frequent have a feature that allows the user to open a thread, and by selecting the "View first unread" tab the thread jumps to the first post that the user has not previously read.  Beats having to scroll down a page of posts to find where you left off in a "conversation". 

Status: Implemented
Yup, kyfroggie is exactly right! This feature already exists, just not in the exact form you described. It should still function exactly the same, though, and be very helpful. I certainly use it all the time.

Photo Avatar?

Status: Implemented

I have my photo in the online album area but how can I use it as my Avatar?

 

Thanks~

 

Status: Implemented
Rich is correct in his response. One can use a generic avatar when one joins. One can also upload photos, pending my approval. However, one must wait and "move up" in rank and participation before one may use a personalized avatar. The precise requirements are: 4 logins, 3 days since registration, and at least 10 posts in the community.

Preview Post

Status: Implemented

To be able to preview your post before you hit the final 'Enter' would make the boards much more user-friendly.  This way, if it's just not quite what you wanted to say, you will be seeing how other people will see it and you can change it, instead of having to wait till it's posted and then go back and edit it.   Just a little something most every other board I've ever used has had.  Would love to see it here also.

Yes, this feature already exists. If you do not see the "Preview" tab above the WYSIWYG editor, please contact me privately.

Add "Go To" option in Read Mail area.

Status: Implemented
by ‎10-19-2011 12:34 PM - edited ‎10-19-2011 12:35 PM

So I'm on the T2 board and look up and see I have a message.  I click the envelope and go to the message.  I read it, maybe respond, then I want to go back to where I was or go to some other board.  I have to currently go to the "Diabetes Community" option and then choose a board.  It would be easier to just have the "Go To" box like on other areas. 

 

Just a more user friendly option, plus it would be nice if all of the areas were consistent so you'd know what to do if you're new.

I've contacted Lithium, and they showed me how to fix it! I've updated it on our stage server, and it will be pushed live tonight. Thank you all! (I should also clarify: this wasn't a "bug", per se, despite my labeling as such. It was working as expected based on their initial coding.)
