Are you aware that most of the videos on the jam session have disappeared ?
EDIT: I have another question, What is the proper size for videos ?
The bar to embed a video is now gone and I have not been able to get the other method to work.
.
field had gotten corrupted. I tried to save the info and find a work around for the past couple of weeks but to no avail. I have ultimately fixed the problem but I can't replace the embeded vids in those fields. Maybe we all could work together figuring out which vids were posted and how to replace them.
Vids here are probably best embedded at size 400 w x 225 h. That's the size I aim for.
Sorry I took so long to repond :o)

Thanks for putting your finger in the dyke, Anne
All us guys appreciate it. :)
Okay, so now I'm banned I guess?

Adding a new post is improved but I still think having to choose a category is a bit annoying. If you require it, can you at least move it below the body of the message. I think it makes sense to see the subject and body next to each other when you click "new post" (or whatever the link is). Also, is the "video URL" necessary? Can't it just be that we paste in a YouTube URL and it auto inflates to the embed version plus adds the URL beneath it? I know it can be done as that's how PL did it. Not sure how difficult it would be to replicate.
In the current set up, what if you want to post 2 video URLs? Can it be done or is it a max of 1 per post?
.
confusing. I want to keep the categories as I'm planning on using them for sorting content into pages.
Some people use the paste URL media embed box exclusively. But others use the media embed in the message editor. With that one you can post multiple videos in one post. I haven't been able to get URL inter-comment embeds to work properly yet. I think Michael was useiing Drupal 6 for PL and possibly Drupal 4 or 5 for Daily Paul. I'm using Drupal 7 and some new modules are available and others are discontinued. I can't get the exact voting module that Michael had and that's only one example. I believe there is a way to insert url's into the comment areas and have them work but I haven't found the solution yet. I've taken the site down twice to try to fix this and only ended up loosing the ability to comment all together. So then I had to put everything back the way it was. Until i find a solution to this you will have to deal with a URL bar. I can however move it so it's less confusing for the time being.
I feel your frustration, I do. But, we'll get there. Hard to believe that we've been up for 19 days so far.

Where can I find my comments(replies) and relies to my comments? Sometimes I can't remember where(title) I made a comment to search for it. Would be easy to have a place to click and check. Maybe there is, but I don't see it. Thanks.
I am curious if you would consider a "Testing" sticky here so that folks can test and practice with their Image and video sources in it rather than run into problems and mistakes trying to post them in an existing thread and messing it up? There may be some that are apprehensive to post content because they don't want to mess up a good thread if they get it wrong...myself included :)
I am currently setting up a personal image gallery and could use an out of the way thread to test URL functions from it to here without disrupting any of the other threads. :) Thank you for considering this option!

Not tonight though as I'm exhausted. However, tomorrow is the first day of 2016, and that is a perfect day to make plans for future improvements and change.
You all are great!
Happy New Year!!

I find the Italic font harder to read

1 A separate link to check polls that have been posted. All polls separated so one can easily pick ones to vote on.
2. A side bar that has favorite site links, example Drudge, The Hill, Lions of Liberty, etc.
No hurry, just suggestions... :)

If someone clicks onto another name and then click the log out button...will that log someone else out????? But it might come in handy for abusive people???

Thanks! (Yes I AM a "dinosaur", or pc-illiterate) LOL
.
Had problems getting password set, as well. Have you tried to set up your profile yet? I'm finding it to be an impossible task.
Oh well, the glitches will be worked out over time. Anne has her hands full and deserves credit for all she has done so far.
Larger fonts would help us old dinosaurs a lot, too.
