I think we might need a poll function.

And we need an edit function. The quick edit one is very useful.

Nice layout.

Yes, definitely. Good idea.

There should an edit button under your own posts - let me know if you aren't seeing it.  Cheers, BB

Hi BB, it seems that every time a user edits his/her own post, the notification goes on the Home page, so even if it is a spelling error correction, it shows as if it were a new post.  And you can also see how many times somebody edited his/her own post as well.  It's not a big deal, just noticed it. B-)

Thanks Billie,

There are a few clunky things that need to be streamlined so it's good if people let me know of these gremlins.

 

[Billie]

No problem BB.  Also I was trying to figure out how to add a photo to a group update (not to change the group's photo), but just to add a photo as a follow up to the news already posted, but I didn't see how to do it.  Thanks

 

[britbox]

Yes, I'll need to change the post editor in the Groups so it's the same as the forum post editor.  I'll put it on the list.

Hey guys, just to advise there will be big update coming next weekend (Sun 11th October) with much a much cleaner, responsive theme.  I'm working on it at the moment.  If you have any other immediate requests,get them in now.  It will be a lot easier to navigate around the site, less busy and nicer to look at.

In the meantime, post away and have fun!

 

[britbox]

I'll also move it onto a dedicated server... as this is way too slooooow right now.

Hi BB. I can´t edit my posts, no button to do so.

 

[britbox]

Yes, but I can 

No worries mate, I'll put it in the list of fixes.  I want this baby purring like a cat in the next couple of weeks.  Had a look at Talk Tennis and they've nailed it.  I feel the need, the need for speed....

Now, I see the EDIT button if I have written the post a few minutes ago. I cannot edit the ones I wrote yesterday (like the I have remember without ed...).

 

[britbox]

Thinking about it, I think I set edit availability to about 10 minutes.. I'll change that going forward for slow-minded people like yourself

 

[Alien]

haha, I am slow minded indeed and only find my mistakes in English like 24 hours after I wrote them, I get inmediately embarassed and feel the urgent need to edit before many posters find them lol. If I am unable I start to have tics, spasms and I scratch my arms and eventually I get tied again to my bed for a couple of days...

You need to scratch your arse also to be offically classed as OCD.  I'm thinking of introducing a 20 second rule here between posts, just to speed up time wasters... plus you won't be allowed to ask your Dad/Uncle/Coach what to post mid-thread.

 

[Billie]

LOL...BB....you are a busy bee.  I admire your dedication to house us all.  It is very much appreciated. B-)

 

[Moxie]

It's coming together nicely, BB.  A few thoughts, since you asked.  It's nice to be able to "preview" posts. (Saves some editing later.)  Right now it's hard to toggle between pages of threads and different ones, but you'll get there, I know.  And I hope we will have a "live chat" feature, which is a crowd pleaser.  Otherwise, I see you have other things I would like to see in the pipeline.  Cheers!
