Site Function Problems

This is a thread to track site function issues. I will keep this thread updated.

1. Inbox - We're reconstructing this so it works for those of you that it doesn't. *FIXED*
2. Friends - We're fixing the listing so it works better. *FIXED*
3. E-Mail notification templates. - We're working to make them more meaningful, and link properly where they don't.
4. Being booted from Chat - If you have this problem, contact me personally.
5. Sorting of poems listings is not consistent. *FIXED*
6. Easier way to see if a poem is in contest.
7. Quoting in Private Messages garbles things up. *ADJUSTED - WAITING FOR INPUT*

Navigation specific:
1. Clicking "Waiting Friend Requests" doesn't take you to that tab. *FIXED*

RE: Site Function Problems

Also folks please list any ideas/ issues you have with navigation so we can also improve upon that.

RE: Site Function Problems

On a poet's profile page where poems are listed, can you please change it to list them in chronological order?

No problem!

RE: Site Function Problems

I would like very much to have my poems back in their original posting order.
As of this writing, they are still out of order.

Thank you.

RE: RE: Site Function Problems

The private messages area is rebuilt - if you have a large amount of messages, it will now load.

OK I think I took care of all the spots. Here is what I fixed:
*My poems area under home
*Poem listings under profile pages and poem pages

Please let me know if you notice any other poems that you think are being listed wrong.

Thanks.

RE: Site Function Problems

I have a problem with word-spacing when leaving a comment for a poem. A word is sometimes split onto two lines, making it difficult to read.

Thanks for fixing the poem listings. It makes it easier to find the latest poem a poet has posted.

Scroll down to where I left a comment on this poem. I suppose I am spoiled that in most programs there is no need to use the return key...here, I have to watch the words as I write (which I didn't do on this poem) and use the return when I notice a word-split. The same is true on the private message feature.

Thanks for checking it out!

Hi Aria,

I have tested and looked using Firefox, Internet Explorer 6 - 7 and 8 and have not noticed this problem.

I suspect this is a browser issue. For me to look further into this please tell me what browser you are using.

Also, is anyone else having this problem question

RE: Site Function Problems

I use Safari.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for pointing this out, it is now fixed.
Words should no longer wrap when viewing comments in Safari.
Please let us know if you find any other spots where this occurs.

Thanks.

RE: Site Function Problems

Dear Admin,

Can the email be fixed so that the sent and reply messages are not clumped together as one on-going message? So very hard to decipher.kiss

RE: Site Function Problems

The function of deleting comments needs to be reinstated asap..

RE: Site Function Problems

the peoms lounge chat room loads very SLOWLY shut eye blank stare and plus it doesnt reply instanly when you send the messgae it thats a mintue ! to answer

01-06-2010 at 09:19:02 PM

RE: Site Function Problems

the only problem I am having now is the e-mail used for private messages. For some reason, it is garbled in what I call "geek"....symbols, etc...and is hard to read. Maybe it's the Safari thing again.

but while you're at it!!! The advertising on the top of the page is acceptable but on the poet's profile page....it is so distracting. I understand advertising but please, can you move the ad to somewhere (preferably off) besides just right of a poet's profile on their page?

It's hard to feel the poetry when an ad for "trim your belly fat" is staring you in the face.

That should be in there still actually. But it might be a little confusing where it is. The delete button will appear if you mouse over the area to the right of the username who commented. all the way to the right of the column above the end of the line.

I'll talk to the team about this one in the A.M.

Not sure I quite follow. Are you talking about when you hit reply, the quoted text?

RE: Site Function Problems

I have left comments on some poems (very flattering ones), and when I went back to see what the reply to those were...my comment wasn't there. Is this an OP glitch ?

hmmm.................................................................gogant

01-07-2010 at 12:23:21 AM

RE: Site Function Problems

I thought only the poet could delete comments, I've had that happen to me in the past, maybe it is a site issue...personally, I always choose to leave all the comments posted wether flattering or not, just because.cool smile

01-07-2010 at 01:10:32 AM

RE: Site Function Problems

Well Charlie, I must have left a thousand comment over the past year, and out of those, I think I just had to leave a negative comment on 2 of those. I have deleted a couple of nasty comments, left for one of my poems, by somebody who was just trying to be mean. Well, for now, I hope it is just a problem with OP....

RE: Site Function Problems

if possible i'd appreciate some way for a poet to tell which of their poems are in the contest without having to navigate to each individual poem

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
