Ideas for the "perfect forum"

Bonjour Pierre,

I'm sad about this, but there's nothing we can do about it. The user deleted his posts, and this is a right that we all have on the Web. So there's nothing we can do about this. You might try to retrieve them by using cached pages on the Internet, if you have the right tools or know the sites which allow you to retrieve such information, but this doesn't always work.

Buon giorno Simona,

Thank you for your explanation.

So, nothing to do against freedom :) (joke, of course)

Bien le bonjour Noël X :)

Je ne te visais pas particulièrement, mais c’est vrai que tes réponses ont tendance à ... s’évaporer ... ;)

Cela dit je crois que la X-Family compte d’autres membres ... :)

Beh, "Natale" è una volta all'anno ;).

Non so se è già stato detto in qualche altro messaggio di questo lungo thread ma sarebbe opportuno ripristinare la possibilità di "quotare" in automatico, ciò in parte permetterebbe anche di leggere le risposte dei MisterX e in ogni modo faciliterebbe la lettura delle diverse risposte.

Un saluto a tutti.

Usando le cache non ho trovato mai molto (https://cachedview.com/).

Hello Chris,

You can see this message in "Recent activity" in "My topics" pages :

Nevertheless, since 2 months, my topics appear directly without going through the moderation phase.

Regards,

Pierre

O thanks, I presumed people didn't see this, since some posted their stuff numerously. So that's OK.Administrators can change your status to allow users that proved yet to be 'reliable' not to pass along the waiting que. So good for you that you proved it!

Yes, I usually mark users as Trusted as long as I see that their posts are not abusive/spam etc.. but matter-of-factly related to GeoGebra. This saves moderation time for us and a useless waiting time for them. I hope other moderators do the same.

Please use Google for the search. It's currently much more complete than the built-in search engine ;)

Il motore di ricerca mi sembra non trovi neppure sé stesso ;). Una ricerca non solo per argomento, ma anche per parole chiave e per autore.

Inoltre avere la possibilità di segnalibri in un proprio profilo privato in cui salvare gli argomenti di interesse.

Agree, totally

Concordo pure io.

Ich stimme nicht zu.

Das reduziert die Transparenz des Forums. Für private Kommunikation ist das eMail geeignet.

L'e-mail pourrait effectivement suffire sauf que beaucoup de contributeurs ne l'ont pas renseigné ou le gardent caché .

Il messaggio privato è appunto molto simile all'email. Non credo che questo renda il forum meno trasparente.

Est il possible d'envoyer un message (privé ou pas) à l'auteur d'une ressource ?

I add my vote for private messaging. If the user have a problem with it he can disable it from the settings.

Bonjour,

C'est possible. Cliques sur ce lien :

Tu verras ainsi la liste des sujets que tu as initiés.

Ensuite en cliquant sur l'onglet "Activité récente", tu verras toute ton activité sur le forum, y compris dans des sujets que tu n'as pas initié.

Cordialement,

Pierre

Merci beaucoup Pierre pour ce rafraichissement . J'avais oublié alors que j'avais déjà fait la même demande il y a quelque temps . Le bouton "Mes sujets" serait il à placer ailleurs pour le rendre plus visible ?

D'accord avec toi, il n'est pas très visible ...

Rajouter un onglet "Mes sujets" sur la page d'accueil du forum me semblerait bien :

@frndmrsl I'm just trying to collect ideas and pass them to the Team. I have no decisional influence, just my (our) voice.

Good ideas. From my point of view, allowing users to modify their posts can create issues. Like people saying one thing, then later deleting it and changing it with another one. It's a no-no for me. (I know -some of- my onions...)

It's just fine to add a further post explaining what the user missed in his previous post, or why he changed his mind.

Vorschlag:

Der Fragende kann "Beantwortet", "Erledigt" und "Kein Problem" aktivieren und deaktivieren. "Beste Antwort" klassiert den Thread automatisch als beantwortet.

Usually Admins/Mods do that.

Honestly I don't know if a user can change the status of an answer, since I have administrative rights and my interface is slightly more powerful than yours.

I always suggest to start a new thread when further (and different) questions arise while working on a problem, so for other users it's easier to find out the answer to a similar problem that they have.

About "Best answer"... well, I never use it. Since most of the times all you here come out with nice and different solutions, all of them worth a look at. And also, because I like that people reads the thread and learns how the solution was obtained, instead of just copying the first file they find as "best answer" that doesn't make them understand how to solve a similar problem, whenever they'll have one.

The status 'answered' has a role mainly for diligent followers of the forum who try to answer not-answered questions. By marking 'answered' they don't have to open all and browse to all answers to find if a question is already been answered or not. 'Some' (this is a careful description)... people never answer when a clear answer is given to a clear question while others explicitly react when they got helped. Then it's a good thing that moderators can mark it as 'answered'Sometimes things being asked for are not included in GeoGebra, and then 'answered' can be not a satisfying reaction but a true one. And a third thing: sometimes a second question is raised upon an already answered question. I think it's not bad that moderators follow and moderate and sometimes deactivate the status 'answered' if its clearly so and there was a misjudgement. It's perhaps more easy for users to comment on this judgement than allowing anyone to reclassify anything.
