Suggestions for the forums and the website

I gather that we are not supposed to ask questions / comment on posts on the  thread below?  I know I’m probably the worst offender 🙂 and I’ll try not to in future, but often it has been in an effort to help PRT understand better the suggestion for improvment.

https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/centralization-of-queries-and-suggestions-on-prorealtime/

Maybe we need some formal way / box to tick against suggestions to show our support so PRT can see how important the suggestion / feature is to the User Community?

 

Yes maybe polls should be a good idea?

To reduce the incidence of members not using the ‘Insert PRT Code’ button … make the button Bold Red in colour.

Same / similar re the ‘Insert Link’ button.

make it difficult to do it wrong.

Just simple ideas to ‘lighten the load’ on Nicolas and the Moderators.

Why do I get ‘refreshed back to Page 1’ of a Thread when I post in that Thread?  It never used to do that?

I guess I can live with it if there is a good reason for the Site’s benefit, but it’s getting on my nerves already 🙂

Ha it didn’t happen then on this Thread of only 2 Pages, but has been happening on the 72 Page Pathfinder 4H System Thread for a a few days now.

I’m aware of this problem GraHal, seems I can fix it for a few minutes only .. Still don’t know why really.

I agree, perhaps a simple counter which users can click to show support for the improvements listed in that thread would be useful for the PRT team to prioritise if they have to. There are some suggestions which would benefit all and some that may be quite niche so this ranking may help. It would need a decent amount of participation from the forum users to be of any value of course.

It would have been great if it was possible to jump into a page in the middle or maybe from a certain date and onwards.
Now you have to select first or last page and then browse page by page…!

@ H_kan – It’s not ideal but at present I just edit the url for the page number that I want to jump to so that it takes me straight there. It’s of great help in the pathfinder threads especially !

@manel

I think you are talking about this thread instead: https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/centralization-of-queries-and-suggestions-on-prorealtime/

This topic is for prorealcode website improvements 🙂

@H_kan

I understand, I changed a bit the pagination. Please browse the Pathfinder thread and tell me if you think it’s better now.

Yes thanks, a bit better! I can live with 5 pages per browse.

@ Nicolas – Yes sorry, I was replying to Grahal’s and your suggestion about polls above. Got my PRT and PRC mixed up !  Apologies.

Has the button for PRT code in posts and replies been removed because I can’t find it anymore?

It’s still here, but not available in responsive mode (tablet & smartphone) for compatibility purpose. What is your screen resolution?

I’ve found that to see the Insert PRT Code button I have to set my browser to ‘Clear ALL on Exit’ for site  www.prorealcode.com

Even then if I have not exited my browser for hours then the Insert PRT Code can still disappear.

I’m trying to get in the habit of checking for the PRT Code button before I start writing a post!

For reference my screen resolution is 1920 x 1200, but the button also dissappeared when I used 1024 x 768 on the same monitor.

GraHal

 

@Nicolas: The screen Resolution is 360×640.

Switching to desktop view doesn’t help either. What’s the html Tag for PRT code?  It appears the W3 doesn’t have it classified, yet 🙂

@Grahal: I’ll give it a try. Thanks.
