Please add comments for feedback on this website's features and functionality.

Recently added features:

9/5/2006 - added a more robust WYSIWYG editor for text content (The original one is "broken"). 

8/31/2006 - Comments can now be added to any text topic (news, book discussions, etc). This may eliminate the need for the "Forum", but not sure yet.

8/28/2006 - Added event calendar, set pictures for current user base, modified graphic template. Changed  menu item from "Lounge" to "Messages" - as that feature is really more of a private messaging system than a live chat environment. Still looking for a good "live chat" component.

Very nice job!

Can I have my own BLOG?
ptribulski - Looking into it ... Publisher | 2006-09-07 16:40:47
I am not sure (yet) how to setup "personal" spaces, though there must be a way. I will look into it. From the "My Details" section, there is a blog tab. The current message indicates there is additional softwareneeded.

How do I add an event to a specific date in the calendar?
ptribulski - Add event - with date Publisher | 2006-09-07 16:17:36
To add an event:
Within the User Menu, select "Submit Event" or click the "Add an Event" link from the bottom of the page when displaying the event calendar.

The "add event" page has a 3 tab interface, with "Content", "Publication Date" and "Help" tabs.
"Publication Date" is poorly phrased, it really means "Event Date".

1. Describe the Event in the "Content" tab.
2. Click on "Publication Date" tab
3. Use the date / time fields to indicate the Event date / time
Shirley - How do I add a forum? Publisher | 2006-09-08 11:16:00
How do I add a forum? There doesn't seem to be a "new forum" option. Thanks!
ptribulski - New forum Publisher | 2006-09-08 17:19:28
Eventually, we will only need to add topics to new forums. This will happen when we settle on the approriate larger categories of forums.
Think of the hierarchy as:
"Forum" - large category
"Topic" - sub-category
"Reply" - message chain / content

For instance, there are forums in the Book Discussions forum - RLF Books and Other Books. To start a new book discussion, look into the appropriate forum, use "start new topic" and enter the book name as the topic.

Adding a new forum (large category) is a "back-end" function. I am looking for method to bleed that through to the front end that anyone can use, but that is not typical to forum sections of these type of sites. As such, it may not work out.

In the interim, please let me know what forums (large categories) are needed.
ptribulski - News items as "forums" Publisher | 2006-09-08 17:22:27
With the comments feature (used right here for this message), any content item can esssentially become an ad-hoc forum.
The difference is mainly around the structure and presentation. THere is a fature difference: the actual forum provides a method to "subscribe" - so that you can be notified of replies.
cdaigre - SIMposium 2006 feedback of RLF Registered | 2006-10-31 22:37:04
I'd like a medium for those who attended SIMposium 2006 to offer suggestions for improvement to be considered for SIMposium 2007. The '07 event will be in my hometown of Memphis, TN and while this is still fresh on people's minds, would like some feedback for 1) what went well 2) what should be changed 3) what needs to be introduced in the future 4) etc.

Thoughts on how this might be accomplished?

Thanks!!
