Sorry, title is not that creative. But my mind is a little off.
Anyway... I'm blogging about one of the new features of the Enhanced 4.0... something that I think that could be better... & I'm going to include screen shots... please let me know what you all think...
Before I send it off to MUDs... I'd like to know if I'm going about it wrong & that's why I can't get it to do what I want... or if it's something that you all are finding is a little extra work...
What I'm talking about is the new button for NOTES in the "Post Content" box. (I love the fact we have a button... HOWEVER... there's a flaw, in my opinion...)
You click on the button & you get this...
You start to type & you get this...
Then you hit post & you get directed to here... & as long as you have your "show unread replies only" NOT checked, it should appear there at the top...
What if you want to add more info... then you have to CLICK the message to get to add into the reply! See in this one...Again... I know... I know... these "quick notes" are to be like a BLAST message or a "What are you doing now" type of note... but still... if you wanted to add more... you have to click on it... OR create a blog / review!!
What do YOU think????
Oh... while doing screen shots... I want to point out a good thing... Multiply brought back 2 things... the # of comments line above the reply box & the drop down box to choose which order you want to view them in! WOO HOO!! (See this image below!)
For those who use multiple images within their blog... like I have here... Have you ever noticed... when you use the Insert Images button, the image always goes to the top of the blog & you have to cut it & paste it... IF you want it after some text? (Like I did in this blog.) ... Does anyone else see that to be a pain??One more thing...
This above image... I am showing the lines I wish we had the option to adjust... like you would in any spreadsheet!!
AND I'd like to see when a message is sent to multiple users ... that the limit shown in the preview be only just a few... so that the message isn't so stinking tall!!!
P.S. Sorry the images are blurry... for some reason when I use take from my computer, or my Multiply album... it shrinks the images. But when you use a image link from the web... it puts it in as it's original size. Why is that??????
I do not understand the old buttons, and you are asking about the new ones??? ;)
ReplyDeleteI haven't (and may not) used the notes feature at all, so I hadn't noticed that you have to click on your note to add more details to it. It would seem that the entry for it would be more like a blog entry where you can enter your title and your details all at once.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why Multiply shrinks images. All I can think of is that they're trying to reduce file size, and the result is a degradation of the image.
I agree with you on all points Lady, I especially don't like the pressing enter thingy on the notes bit, I keep accidentally submitting it before I've finished.
ReplyDeleteI just posted about this same thing at Muds. It's annoying not to land IN THE QUICKNOTE once you post it.
ReplyDeleteooooooh, did ya see did ya????? I just put a new note and actually could press enter without it posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
ReplyDeleteYeah, that was a bug and they fixed that. :) Something about the enter key being mishandled I read.
