Albert Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Found one more thing that you may not know about. It seems the blog preview can't show a quote box. (I don't mean the preview button, I mean the preview of a blog before you click to see more.) That is surely intentional, probably to get the most "bang for the buck" from the "excerpt" so you see original content and not quotes. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Looks good so far. I would seriously consider making list view the default. The "list view" should now be the default. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Okay, thanks to a helpful suggestion from an Invision employee, I was able to reset the blog excerpt that is displayed on the main blog page as well as individual blogs. It should default to around 1,000 characters (up from 350), plus images will be shown at their normal size instead of reduced or displayed as icons. Here's a good example: http://www.atariage.com/forums/blog/118-insert-stupid-blog-name-here/page__tag__Comic%20Strips ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Oh, I also spent some time making the List View look a bit nicer. I made the first column wider, put the Blog Name in bold, separated the Entries, Comments and Views column into three separate columns, and made the column headers bold. I'll continue to tweak this over time, but it's better now. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Thanks for the improvements. Don't thank me yet, I still have a lot of work to do. And I just realized I haven't put the Gallery back online, which I absolutely need to do tomorrow (shouldn't be much work, it's simpler compare to the Blogs).. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybergoth Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Hm... the list claims it's sorted by "Last Activitiy" now, which would be cool, but unfortunately it's just sorted by "Last Entry" it seems, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this does appear to be the case. Going to spend some time investigating this to see how easy it would be to show the last comment activity (if there is any for a particular blog). ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the list right now, there my blog correctly shows the most recent activity "Today, 2:36 PM", since I just posted a test comment. If sorted by last activity it should come out on top now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 Is there a way to increase the number of recent entries/comments shown within a blog's content blocks? It used to display the ten most recent ones, now it's only five. Also - any luck yet on the tags > categories conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 To be honest, I feel completely lost in the new blogs. Can someone tell me please, how I get a good overview of my favorite blogs? Especially I am interested see if there are new entries and comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I see a box going down the right side of the page that's titled "Favorite Blogs". A tank shows up whenever there's new content in it (comments or entries) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I just noticed that links in blogs are not bold anymore. When you get a chance, can you make them bold again? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 More bugs: - It's impossible to remove the tags for an entry. (I just tried while re-categorizing my Interplay articles manually) - 'Enable Emotions' gets still auto disabled whenever blog entries/comments are edited.

Cybergoth Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I was wondering about that, but first thought it was another Opera oddity or cookie disaster. (There's so much broken in the blogs, I don't even bother reporting anymore...) Kinda related, there's some other weird stuff going on with the portlets in my blog, e.g. sometimes it shows the calendar (which I have disabled), sometimes the categories don't show up (which I have enabled), sometimes the order is scrambled. I'm not 100% sure, but I think this might happen after visiting other blogs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
