Shh.. I'm quietly reading
anywhere to ask...?
Super excited about the new forums!
I'm wondering if there is/will be a thread where we can ask questions in addition to those addressed in the FAQ.
In my case, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me why my HTML in my blog posting isn't working. It's making me crazy, because I can't see anything wrong with it.
Testing! <font color="#000000">See? Not working. <font color="purple">Nor is this.
But I don't want to clutter up the thread with whining because I really do like everything else
I second the anywhere to ask...
As I can't figure out why I can't upload a picture! Worked on the old board so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong!
Lady Am ... html doesn't
Lady Am ... html doesn't work in this site ..... you need to use the buttons for bold, italics, underscore ..... I'm hoping they'll give us more editing tools
~~ KatherineT ~ I'm a Harlequin Addict, and I'm proud of it! ~~
But...but it SAYS "Allowed
But...but it SAYS "Allowed HTML tags" at the bottom...is it lying to me?
(Someone needs to keep me away from the cute new emoticons.)
This is great!
I'm having so much fun zooming all around! You guys did a great job on reorganizing everything! Thanks!

HTML
Yes, the allowed HTML tags are not working it seems or I don't know what the new code is. I would very much appreciate knowing the image code so I can start posting. The old code doesn't seem to work.

If it told you that it accepted your changes but didn't upload the picture try refreshing the page.

It's going to take some
It's going to take some getting used to, especially for folks who are used to writing up their book reviews in Word before posting them into the comment box. With this system, I've installed a handy little button below the comment box in your editing suite. It looks like a clipboard with a W on a piece of paper in front of it. Click on that to paste content created in Word onto these new boards, it will strip the formating out. Then you can use the editing suite to decorate your post the way you like adding in the Bold and Italics and coloring font etc., Alternately you can create your messaging in notepad or wordpad and then paste into the comment box here.
To add images there's a little TREE icon below the comment box...image looks like a nice leafy tree. Click on that and paste the image URL into the field. I usually align my pictures left or right and add space around them by assigning the numeric value of 5 to the vertical and horizontal space fields. The other thing you CAN do is open up another browser for book covers and drag images over from the main site into your blog/forum post and resize by clicking and dragging the little corners of the image until you get it the size you want.
Once you get used to it, it's MUCH easier on this system, if you have any questions just let me know by posting here or emailing me

Editing Tools
Jayne the editing tools are not showing up ..... the only tools that I show available are .... B-bold / I-italics / U-underscore / ABC-strike through / unordered list / ordered list / insert link / unlink / smilies ..... that's all she wrote!
there is no Word clipboard .... no "tree" icon to insert pics .... no font colour selection
~~ KatherineT ~ I'm a Harlequin Addict, and I'm proud of it! ~~
Yes, I think Kathy called
Yes, I think Kathy called the problem--we don't see the tools you're talking about. (Or I'm just blind...always possible!)
It sounds like once we do see them it'll be a great WYSIWYG style editor...awesome!
Just to
Just to update...
Okay...dragging images from another browser window works (thought I don't know how to get the <img align="left"> affect yet) but I still don't see any of the tools you mentioned. I triple-checked!
more on book cover images
I do not see the tree image. Also dragging does not work. I use Firefox. Am I going to have to use Microsoft IE now? (please no! I avoid Microsoft whenever possible) Everything I try to do is not working to put up a book cover image. Straight HTML code is a lot easier for me than the "easy" way. Please help.
editing tools
when we beta tested the site, there were other editing tools offered ..... one for html input ... a special Word clipboard ... insert image .... font colour
these are not available yet to us .... or perhaps, the powers that be have determined they should not be offered .... we'll just have to work with what is offered for now until they get things sorted
~~ KatherineT ~ I'm a Harlequin Addict, and I'm proud of it! ~~
I really wish they would do
I really wish they would do the insert image, esp. if it was in the beta! MySpace has the easiest way to insert images. Book covers are nice. They look much nicer than straight text. The internet is a visual medium after all. I am going to eat dinner but I will wait to post until I can figure out how to put the beautiful book covers in my blog.
Oooh, I didn't realize you
Oooh, I didn't realize you were a beta tester. Makes sense...I'll be patient, then. Thanks for explaining, Kathy--at least I'm not crazy!
Paisley--I'm with you...I am such a cheater when using programs like Dreamweaver...sooo much easier just to sneak into the code and fix things.
pics
Hey Jayne,
I am not seeing the tree editor button either....just to second what Katherine said above. The only way to post pics right now is the drag and drop.

AHA!
Well, that explains things...let me go and add those to the basic user profiles, I guess they didn't make it in the switch over to the new server. Don't you just LOVE collaborative community building?

Firefox browser does not work in new community set up?
OK the cut and paste of images seems to work in IE but not in Firefox. Firefox is my normal browser not IE which I avoid like the plague. I don't know if the techies can make it Firefox compatible as well but it would be nice if this is possible once everything setlles down.
firefox
Merri, this site was tested by techies who preferred Firefox ... so I'm sure you'll be fine once Jayne gives us more editing priviliges
~~ KatherineT ~ I'm a Harlequin Addict, and I'm proud of it! ~~
Spellcheck
Jayne .. are we going to have a Spellchecker?
oh,THANK YOU ....the editing tools are there!
~~ KatherineT ~ I'm a Harlequin Addict, and I'm proud of it! ~~
Thank you Jayne!
Thank you, we now have the tree editor, and colors,
"I would be the most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves"...Anna Quindlen
tree works with IE
Now that I signed in with IE, I see the tree etc but it is not there on Firefox..... the tree was not there when I first signed in with IE but it is there now. I use Firefox for everything else so it would be nice if when the dust settles the platform would work with Firefox.
What about now?
While it's true we like Firefox, we've spent a HUGE amount of time dedicated to testing the site on all browser versions. If you have IE 6 for example we know and have been battling some major display issues...remember we were supposed to launch Jan 2....I'm just sayin'
If you find ANY bugs or wonky looking stuff let me know....I like squishing 'em!
Oh, and I just added the extra functionality to the text editor...anyone seeing them?

New editing tools are there!
Yes Jayne ... the tools are there! ... thanks so much
Merri, try shutting down your computer and then openning Firefox ..... I think you'll find the new editing tools will be there ..... I think whenever the techies made changes that was the only was to get them to show up, to "refresh or restart" your browser .... hope that works for you

RSS feeds on the Simply board
Jayne ... I posted to the Hosties over on the Simply board ..... when I tried to set up RSS feeds for that board it only set up the feeds for the Hostie thread and the Million Dollar Dad thread ..... the "folders" for the lines weren't offered ..... did I do something wrong?
