electrical shocks — anonymously, of course — to certain commenters?
(If you’re concerned about abuse, you could ration us to one or two a day . . . )
these “upgrades” always leave me confused, bewildered and frustrated
That way readability is improved by keeping replies at the same level closer together instead of getting pushed down from intervening nested comments.
And we could open the can of worms around user ratings.
It seems that about as soon as I get comfortable with eBay’s latest format, or my banks, they up and “improve” it. It almost always means, if nothing else, more java thingies that take bandwidth and cpu cycles to run.
The only improvement I would like to see, and I’ll bet a lot of Polsters will echo this, is the ability to edit a post. Even if only for ten minutes.
I’ll hold my breath and hope for the best.
1. Mobile support
2. Subscribe to thread
3. SMS or email notification of thread update
4. Easier posting of music videos
5. Emoji!
Right now, you have to sign out of Colorado Pols and sign on to either Denver or JeffCo Pols and then sign off of that to sign on again to Colorado Pols.
This wouldn’t be so terrible if it weren’t so hard to just sign on to begin with. I have lost count of the times of my attempts to sign on and being told that my pass word was invalid. Very frustrating especially because I copy and paste the pass word sent to me by Soapbox.
I suspect that I am not the only person this happens to and probably accounts for the fact that are few to no posts on Denver or JeffCo Pols.
So, if you could fix that glitch, this would be much easier and much more fun.
Either a la Slashdot or at least with a simple “+1″/”-1″ interface for users.
Slashdot has the advantage that moderation rotates between users, based on their “karma” (the gestalt of the contributions they make to the site).
But “+1″/”-1″ (along with a way to configure the level at which you see comments) would go a long way toward reducing the impact of election-season morning drive-by spammings.
Pols has needed an update for a long time. At the very least, they need something to make it friendly for smart phones – either a mobile version of the site, or an actual app. And the layout is really out of date.
I hope that soapblox’s best features are retained (cascading comments, clear labeling of new comments, your comments and replies to your comments…. as you can see, I’m most concerned with being able to follow comments easily, and soapblox kicked every other platform’s ass on that count). And I hope the new features are awesome.
Count me as excited to hear the news.
EDIT my comment
will be text instead of an image so The Google will index it
I’m on SS and that check sure comes in handy.
How about the Guvs fix it so ANY spam industry gets some special attention from the legislature. It worked with payday lending, it can work with insurance spam and that guy who keeps posting cut-rate TED bullshit.
it includes what’s been happening to me today.
To wit: I return to a diary and start scrolling down to check on only the red “new” posts. When I reply to one and hit “post” all the rest of the “news” disappear and the only red “new” on the page is by my own post. That leaves no recourse but to re-read the remaining posts to see if they’re new or not.
This sucks. I hate reading.
It just started happening this morning. Is Pols already trying out parts of the upgrade? If so: thumb down,
1, unfriend, hide commentor and whatever else becomes available.Whoa. Another strange thing just happened. Somehow on “preview” the minus sign on the “1”, above, became a strikethrough on the “1” and partial strikethrough on “unfriend”.
This site is boehnerizing!
If you dislike a given poster you can click ignore on him and his comments disappear from your screen — while still being evident to anyone who has not chosen to ignore him.
It’s a great way to handle trolls and flame artists without taking away their rights to post.
I’d like to see the part that says (1 new) in a field of 57 comments be clickable. Not just to get that comment, but to go to the area to see what it is in reply to , etc. Save scrolling
