WEBSITE FEEDBACK

[Jonathan]

Now that the new website is launched, please provide any feedback you may have here. Consider this an open tech support ticket. This allows me to really see how everyone uses the website and maybe finds things that I may have overlooked.

I just joined this group and am excited to get involved. I did have a question though. I wanted to get a t-shirt or sweatshirt and when clicking on the link for some items in the store it says error. I am doing something wrong or are the items no longer available?

[Jonathan Smith]

Good question. That is actually a separate website (Cafe Press) and I’m not sure who manages that. I’ll ask around though.

Can messageboard users change the way posts are displayed. Now posts display with oldest at the top, new posts at the bottom of the thread. Posts with lots of discussion get quite long and you have to scroll through all the old posts to get to the newest. I would like to change the listing to newest on the top so that I see new info right away and can then scroll through older posts to as needed. Thanks, Chris H.

This should be fixed now. Each forum should display the latest/newest topic at the top.

It also look like the server or the website clock is off. I posted the above post at 11:25 on the 29th and the post was time stamped 3:21 a.m. on the 30th. Maybe its’ set to GMT time zone.

[Jonathan]

I fixed time. Wish I could do that in real life.

Jonathan how do you add a photo to your messageboard profile?

[Jonathan]

The website is built on WordPress which uses Gravatar (Globally Recognized Avatar) for profile photos (avatars). While the ability to update your profile photo is not built in to the website, you can signup and/or complete your Gravatar profile (using the email address you use here on this website). The info you use for Gravatar should then display your photo here on CCGHPA.com.

Here’s a link to Gravatar to complete your profile.

When I was setting up the navigation I wasn’t sue where the login would actually go. So I added a sub-nav for it. But by going to the Messageboards themselves, I have the login and forgot password set up on the right column. So I could simply remove this from the main navigation.

It took me a few tries before I realized that the message board was not under “message board login” but rather the first time you click on the message board menu, it doesn’t do anything. Once I click it a second time, it takes me there.

Thanks Karen. I’ll look into the IE and Edge issue and see if I can find out more information. Are you getting an error in those browsers?

I changed the text on the meetings page. There may be more text floating around that needs to be updated that pointed to things on the old website.

Nice job, Jonathan. I especially like the calendar for the upcoming events.

You asked for comments so here goes…
Unfortunately I can only get to the website from Google chrome. Neither of the Microsoft browsers can find the page – IE and Edge.

The archive tab is gone. Maybe you plan to get to that later. If so, the reference on the Meetings tab should be removed until it is available.

Thanks, Karen
