Newsbusters F.A.Q.'s

Photo of Blonde.

Do you have any thoughts for F.A.Q. topics which would help enhance this site?

For instance....we have lots of new users who have difficulty creating hyperlinks.

Hints on using the site or quickly navigating?

Finding/tracking posts and/or conversatons?

Technical things....or just generic questions?

Thanks!

"Finding/tracking posts and/or conversatons?"

That's definitely one feature on your list that needs some improving. Especially, some alert or separate list of posts (and the posters) that responded to my posts.

Also, the on-again-off-again listing of people online.... wazzap wid dat ??? A) it's erratic, and B) it only lists 10 people. Can there be some "see everyone online" link that takes you to a full list? And also, a list that is in order of who logged-in last, perhaps?

And then the in-house NB chat. If there can be a full-window, like Chatzy has, that would be tha' bomb.

F.A.Q.'s Shy.....

Not your needs and desires, please!

Although I'm sure Matt will take those under advisement as well.

Yea, I like to see a "top" at the bottom, so i do not scroll my

brains out.. Scrooll, scrooll  To the top to leave a comment, OR put a" post" button at the bottom.

. oh yea a spell checker would be nice too .

All these changes take more computing power, Matt does really well with his limited budget..

I say SCRAP Eyeblast, and put the money here!, in NB!

You would NOT believe how many $$ Eyeblast gathers from the MRC.

i suggest frequently

i suggest frequently answered troll questions 

Dominate education now 

some FAQs to consider

1) How do I send NB a tip about a new story?

2) Why does it take so long to register?

3) Can I change my member name without getting a new account?

4) How do I link to a particular comment instead of the whole thread?

5) What does the buddy list actually do?

 

This is all I got for now, shall try to think of more.

Great Questions, can!

I'll be sure to work them in.

Many thanks!

How do you remove someone from your buddy list if that person has been banned? I still have Leon on my list.

Right now you have to click on the persons name to remove them, but "access denied" is all I get

Real life video games are cool

That's the way to do it, but apparently the functionality has been turned off....I'll let Matt know and hopefully it will get fixed.  It may be that you can't use that function since the user has been banned.  I'll let you know what I find out.

Thanks for the heads up!

Good morning Blonde

This is an absolutely brilliant idea. I had major problems getting bumped off with the "page cannot be Found message. Turns out that an automatic update turned off my javascript. going back to default settings in security fixed the problem.

Lists

Is there any way we can make up a dooze and don't list in which companies to patronize? As a group we could have some impact if we favor the good ones.

Now that comments to some posts are getting 200-300 replys

It's really time comsuming to scrool, or to hit the up or down tab...

I have a trick, when you find yourself in the middle of a huge comment column..

click on anybodies reply button...  then just hit the home button.

shazam you are at the  NB home...

However all bets are off if you are on dial-up.

Thanks, upc

I'll put that in my after-action report.

 

 

How easy would it be to put

How easy would it be to put a "spell check" in the program? This would be for those of us who are challenged in that area. :-) Thanks.
