OK... done. (Actually, it was already unchecked. I checked it, saved the change, unchecked it and resaved. Hopefully this will stop the trouble.

Thank you.

Installation and Configuration

Hello all,
I just came searching for this same question.

We ARE in developer mode, preparing still... and one of the members we invited to poke around and provide feedback sent us a "Please make this stop!" note.

If I'm understanding this correctly, I should not make this fix until AFTER we're live?

Thanks,

Really? Awesome! (I feel humbled to think I actually had an idea that might make sense! It helps ease the 'stumbling around' feeling.)

Thank you ~

how to set [s] bbcode for "strikethrough" site-wide?

Design and Skin Customization

Hello all,
I feel like I should be able to puzzle this one out myself, but I'm struggling to learn. I think this is an 'easier than most' request, so maybe a smart place to try to learn?

Our site is a "learn & practice English" site. We use strikethrough often to show that one word should be removed and a different word added in its place (or simply to show that one word should be deleted).

It's an important and frequently used WYSIWYG icon on our current Ning site.

I probably use it 25 or more times per day.

We would really like to have it be a 'click' like bold/italics/underline options are (in the WYSIWYG).

If it matters, we're using Ningja skin, and the jrdiscussion module.

We want members to have this option in the WYSIWYG 'everywhere' on our site.

Help?
Thank you
[I know that bbcode is enabled here, but the strikethrough doesn't work. Why?]

[I found this http://www.bbcode.org/implementations.php but it is not enough to help me.]

OK. So.
Here's a screenshot showing that I added a post at 00:51:19 GMT on Sept. 19th.
But it's only 20:41 as I write this now... and since we are GMT-4, that means I posted this at 00:41:__, prior to the 'reality' of what the site clock shows!
[If it's only twenty before 1 a.m. on Monday when I wrote this note in this forum, how could I possibly have added a post ten minutes from now?]

This will be very confusing to us, and to members... to see times they are posting/reading posts showing inaccurate times.

Suggestions?

Hi Paul,
We can easily edit / correct upcoming classes (most of them will be 'past' classes by the time we go live.

It won't really matter for past classes.

The more urgent problem is a fix going forward.

If I'm understanding you correctly, though, going forward we should be OK.

I just created a test class/event, recurring, past our upcoming DST... and it works!

Hooray! Issue resolved. This discussion may be closed.

Thank you!

Yes. And once I got out of this haze of 'working too hard, too long, too intensely to get our Ning site to JamRoom ASAP', I would have remembered that obvious "site:" tip. [Confession: I use it often! So why didn't I think of that?]

Thanks.

An embarrassing announcement: I've JUST now noticed that you have tabs for "newest posts" and "my posts."

[These are/will be helpful.]

Still struggling with Search option in the JamRoom Forum

Sorry, but I'm back again. Maybe I just need a lesson in how to search here?

I just tried to search the word "search" (to find this discussion), and saw 46 pages of results! and not the one I added.

I searched "can't find" and this discussion was at the top!

But! How many people are going to try searching "search" first? and then (logical to me) would be "search help" but that search yields only ONE result:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/20022/changing-default-image-sizes-in-home-page-galleries-profiles/search_string=search+help

This is an ideal example of how I'm getting frustrated in my searches.

--
Another example. I tried a few minutes ago to search for a challenge we're having with tags

So I tried "tag" (1/50 pages... not helpful).

So I tried "tags" and luckily see two possible posts that may lead me to the answer I'm looking for, BUT also see "1 of 34 pages" for "tags" search result... and my mind wonders, "Is there a better answer on the other 33 pages of results? Am I really supposed to scroll through more and more pages for a better match?"

So I refine and try "tags separated by comma" and got no results.

Do I now have to go back and search all 34 pages of tags to see if I can find a post that explains how we might improve the tag entry system so that we don't have to type a tag, click to add, type another tag, click to add, type another tag, click to add... but instead could

type a tag, tag, tag, tag, (separated by commas) and click "add tags" ONCE.

[This is what I'm trying to find, and very frustrated, close to disgruntled/aggravated (and not wanting to be) that I can't find my way to it right away.]

I hope these more specific examples will help you help me (and/or that other forum members share ideas/tips on how to find things more readily in this forum.

Thank you,
Holly

hmmm.... OK. I have not studied the tag system here well enough, I guess, because I do not understand all that you've written.
Hopefully before the day or weekend is over it will make mores sense to me.

Alternate idea that would be helpful (from my perspective -- and something I routinely do on the site I manage) would be to edit many of the existing forum posts' titles so that they match the way you tag. This would be more work for you, but would/could lead to happier search results for me.
[I search first with 'how I think' and then I try to search from 'putting myself in JamRoom Tech Support shoes... how might they think/name this', and of course coming from a Ning site, have lots of different terminology ingrained in my brain cells!]

I shall persevere.
Thanks for giving it some thought,
Holly
