You probably noticed, but we’ve added some new functionality to the Forums to enrich your experience. Nothing like adding new stuff right before a long holiday weekend. 🙂
Mentions Improvements
First and foremost... we’ve improved the @Mentions function. We’ve fixed an inconsistent tagging bug and updated the logic. Now when you type "@" the suggestions will weight recent commenters first. Then as you type it will live-filter to match (all! not some!) users (like it should!)
Avatars are also included for easier identification.
Blockquote Formatting
You probably noticed, but we’ve added some new functionality to the Forums to enrich your experience.
We’ve changed the styling of blockquotes to make them stand out more. They would get lost on the darker odd-numbered messages. The next iteration is to support highlighting text and "Reply" to it in your message, and have it link to the original message. Baby steps.
Forum Text Editor
The former editor was not What You See Is What You Get. So your post would look different between compose, preview, and live. No longer is that the case.
The new editor is WYSIWYG, and addresses the most common complaint we hear—the erratic line break behavior.
Well, all that’s gone now. Pressing ENTER...
will create a new paragraph.
And pressing SHIFT+ENTER...
will create a single line break.
We now strip pasted content of hidden formatting that we don’t support. We did not do this previously and it caused a lot of discrepancies, which was not obvious unless you viewed the HTML. Goodbye hidden <span> tags!
We’ve also added additional formatting options: Underline, Strikethrough and Remove Formatting. The editor also shows you in the bottom left what type of formatting/container you are in.
New Forum Features
• Insert Externally Hosted Image: As you can see, images can now be added directly into your post by clicking the Image icon and providing the image URL.
• Emoji Menu/Support: 🙌 Rejoice! Use modern hieroglyphics to speak for you. 🙌
• Media Embedding: Pasting a URL from whitelisted media publishers like YouTube, Tidal, Bandcamp, Spotify, Giphy, Flickr, Twitter, and more will automatically embed the content dynamically. Share your Figma wireframes to your heart’s content. Check it out:
We appreciate you using this platform, and we know these improvements are long overdue, but we are committed to continuously improving each area of the site.
Not sure if anyone here is opinionated... but for the one or two of you may be, we would like to hear your feedback about what steps we can take for the future of the forum: Audiogon Forum User Survey
Feel free to test out the new functionality in this discussion. We're aware of a few mobile behavior discrepancies across different browsers and OSes. But if, and when, you encounter any bugs, you can post it in here but it would be better to let us know via a Support Ticket so we can compile everything for the developers to work through.
Every time I try to make a change, like PRICE, on a TEMPLATE
or old SALES FORM
TO RE_RUN and old advert, it tells me that ’ I cannot change the price.’
well, the very point of re-running an advert is to sell a new product, a different product, the same product, or with a different price.
your software is SERIOUSLY out of date. It’s a freaking nightmare.
This makes a total mockery out of the idea of a ’template’.
as it is not a template, whatsoever--- if one can’t change the numbers.
it’s a total waste of time and life.
a good site ..a properly done sales website that literally takes money from the users of said website.... wants to grease the money out of the users pockets by making it EASY... very very easy... not HARD.
This is utterly self defeating and perverse.
I would love to run more adverts but your system of sales keeps biting the users of said system. ceaselessly.
When you have time, can you look into why when I post a YouTube video, it shows normal size when previewed but when I hit "post", the screen blanks and stalls and I have to refresh it with the result of having a video about 1/3 the size of what it should be.
The updates are good. But when you check the forum for the "Last 12/24/48" hour discussions, it does no show any activity in the "Virtual System". It simply shows "No systems to show you".
@spenavI'm still here! It appears the requirement to click on photos has been removed. I don't mind clicking "I'm not a robot" for every post (even though I am).
I hope that you'll reconsider the way Captcha is currently being deployed. Having to click on pictures every time I post is ridiculous. I will stop using this forum if this is a permanent "feature".
Hi
I don’t have to click on pictures. I just have to check “I am not a robot “. Am I missing something here or is it IOS dependent?
By the way, don’t even think about quitting this forum. You contribution is much appreciated.
How do you quote somebody's post and put it in yours in quotations appropriately?
You mean like this? Or:
”what are talking about Lewis “
To quote someone you copy the quote and click on the “ icon then paste it after the grey vertical bar, then press enter then press the “ icon again. The second quote, you use the “ key on your keyboard. Hope that helps.
First, I'd like to give props to Tammy and team for all your hard work and for being so responsive.
I hope that you'll reconsider the way Captcha is currently being deployed. Having to click on pictures every time I post is ridiculous. I will stop using this forum if this is a permanent "feature". It's a lot easier to ignore the spam than to have to spend the time doing that.
I for one understand the captcha's functionality. I would also suggest the forum put in some verification and security measures for new people seeking to register using multiple Audiogon handles. There seems to be zero security in this aspect of the site and there are so many unpleasant, 'radioactive' posts with a few new users just posting and posting without end. I for one am about done here. It is such a waste of time and there is now so little legitimately useful information provided by knowledgeable, nice, courteous people.
good job but the quote doesn't work for me.... for example
You probably noticed, but we’ve added some new functionality to the Forums to enrich your experience.
my current answer...
the quote works badly because the vertical line showing the sentence to be quoted instead of freezing is lengthened by also hooking my intervention.
"...took my clue from Bobs' Subterranean Homesick Blues' and went underground in a literal way, the 'house' is MCM Bunkerstyle. Dawg loads the Treb, and answers "Sir, Yesser, Sir!" with a bark accent. Crossbred the chickens with velociraptors, and had the piranhas' in the moat drill them with titanium broadhead beaks and curare' dipped claws....
Gotta feed 'em Regular, as y'all know....don't want them getting testy.... or too hungry.....;)
Dawg has a .223 minigun harness, knows how to keep head Down, aim UP..."
RSVP by 'hardened' carrier pigeons Only, I guess. And the TT doubles as a interrogation device....
And the 'Blue Angels' are A10-level bluebirds...5x5, got the memo...
My proximity alert sensors are set for 1500 meters and inbound speed and locations are prioritized. Slide rule and an abacus for calculations and geese for bio proximity sensors. No high tech here. Trebuchet and 55 gallon drums of gasoline.
I'm low tech and really really analog, BUT effective.
BTW Spend every cartridge twice if you can't reload them. :-)
@oldhvymec...Ah, ultimately what you desire in the end is a 'cheeky checker', a product of Roto-Rooters' Dark Ops subsidiary....the last word was caught by the Spell Checker, of which I'm not under.
...and would you like the Tourettes' button to delete or occur that?
I'll prefer the Random option, myself....much more real. ;)
Enhanced AI-'Woke' vehicles are under Beta prior to noted Star Date times, so certain 'Shock: All local/Autolock all current/Run all" is still being studied for 'Priority Only' response rates....that ought to cover your last request. *s*
My fav to date is the Heat Seek Option/Tailgater Termination System....the 100 meter radius Cell Blocker is just fun to run...
I recently noticed I can respond and communicate with the individual who posted a comment. This allowed me to get to know people on a different level and tap their knowledge. These changes are difficult to understand using the limitations of my iPhone’s small screen. I will use my computer when I get home.
This is a mozartfan check. 3-4 in a row.. I call it the machinegun poster. Jimi Hendrix would be proud..
Just Beta testing Tammy.. Be of good cheer.. :-)
Tammy please oh please, please, Please! add a "Tourette's Button"
That's my favorite button other than the "Shock the other guy Button" I love that one when the camera is on.. See the person run off and have to change their dipper. Better than eatin' bugs..
All kidding aside. I like it. I might even learn how to use it. MY spell checker is working better.
NO idea why other that it's interactive and "LEARNING" it will become "Self Aware", by May 12, 2022. Operation Reboot will be active at 0001 hours star date 13052022.0001
Everyone's car will start and then shut off by 13052022.0002
Report all cars without drivers reporting to designated departure areas.
Rudeness checker requires a membership and then AG will send out a probe, please don't play with the probe, and insert the probe in the correct orifice.
Thank you.
PS from time to time we do routine voltage checks on the probe.. 1-50,000 volts.
@asvjerry...yes they most certainly are.
I'm having a Dickens of a time trying to get a larger YouTube video to take hold.
When I change the values in the embed and transfer here, the preview shows the perfect result, but when I hit "post response", there's a long delay and I have to refresh the screen and it's back to the smallest version. It could be I'm not waiting long enough for it to take.
