Things To Test

[namazu]

I don't see an "edit" button, either.

Nice personal text, though, LA!

Thanks for all the testing gang!

I’m wondering if some of this has to do with the post count ranks- I’ll see about changing those settings tomorrow.

For attachments and emoji, I thought I had it turned off for everyone but mods, I’ll have to see why it’s not working.

For the marquee setting on the text window, I’m not sure that’s controllable in the software. The only option I see is to turn off the WYSIWYG editor entirely, but that might be worthwhile.

[eigen]

Hmm, I tried turning off the WYSIWYG editor, and it seems to have no effect.

I did tweak the user permission some, see if that effects your ability to edit.

Officially, attachments and emoji are turned off- not sure how some are appearing

Ok, I think I’ve effectively broken everything but the moving text, but I think I know how to do that.

Ok, broke the marquee text option and smilies.

Re: time zone display -- members have the option to set a time-offset from Fora Standard Time under Profile > Modify Profile > Look and Layout. 

I don't see an option to suppress it altogether, but people who wish to actively obscure their location can do so.

An annoying thing is that after I post, it kicks me back to the list of threads instead of to the post I just made.  I can't remember if the old fora did that too.

Under the edit window, click Attachments and other options. Check the box Return to this topic. Does that fix the behavior?

Thanks.  :)

Ah, I found it.  (I had to click the plus sign next to "Attachments and other options.")  Let's see what happens.

Eigen, is it possible to turn off the verification text?  Since you're manually approving accounts, spam seems unlikely.

[Liquidambar]

"Return to this topic" does work, but it looks like I'll have to select it again every time I post.  (It didn't stay checked from the last time.)

By the way, the marquee button is gone.  Nice job, eigen.

Oh yeah I like the new editor setup without all the emoticons and moving crap. Thanks eigen!!

[cc_alan]

Woot! Thank you to everyone. You rock!

Preview works without having to do the verification. Cool.

Let's see what happens if I try to post without verification. Snags me. Got it.

Now I'll try to edit. It works! I don't recall how long we have to edit, though.

A weird thing is that stats are available for what time of day each person posts (displayed as a bar graph).  I don't know if anyone would consider that too intrusive.  I don't think it is, since the info could be manually collected by looking at someone's posts.

I checked and one could do this on the other site, too. I had forgotten about it!

Teletype? Ah!

Can we do links? Link to CNN (that should be a link... hmm... turned the square brackets into parentheses and took away the psuedo-html-code).
I don't remember what was decided. Will people be allowed to embed a link?

Hmm, right. I'm not sure where that button is hiding, but I'll try to hunt around for it. I don't know that we had decided anything about embedding links, but it seems like a good idea for us to be able to do that.

EDIT: Doesn't look like enabling the button is among the things I have access to, sorry. Unless I'm looking in totally the wrong place, eigen'll have to find it.

If memory serves, 2 minutes without it showing up as edited, an hour overall.
