Rafaela, that's actually a very good point to consider - the fact that we are unaware how many people are in the discussion. Perhaps that could be a feature to add in the future? It would also contribute to a feeling of a bigger community.
Also, Steven's idea about suggesting to share it real-time sounds very promising, perhaps that could be included in the intro paragraph as well. Or does it automatically pop-up during the discussion? (so far, nothing has appeared in my window, tho)
Balint there is auto correct of Words :))) and also one more thing if you make discussion bookmarked there will appear small boxes on the left side with the text that someone commented and it is like push to refresh the page :)
Video: After talking to Raf I've been persuaded that the video size isn't a problem, so I retract my earlier statement. Sorry to confuse, Laszlo!
Rules: I think something general like "We remind people that this is an open and safe space for all people to participate so please be mindful of what you say. Abuse of any kind will not be tolerated.'' ?
i have auto correct, but if somebody writes in bad english thats uncool. I cannot edit comments, and i am right now not a moderator, ans i dont see the bookmark button
Wow, I actually disagree with something on here at last! (it usually doesn't take me so long :p ) I like that people can view the discussion anonymously. I know what you mean though, it would be great if we could get 20+ people in a debate but I like that people can come and just observe.
By the way, I cannot edit or delete comments. Gubaz, bookmarking is a good idea - I haven't thought about it, which makes me guess that some people joining won't be aware of this either.
There was also nice idea to have sort of 'Discussion rules' (e.g. no hateful comments, etc.) posted somewhere, maybe we could include this Bookmark suggestion there too and make it accessible via external link? (not to make the first paragraph too long)
Balint there is written start a new discussion on the red box (it is like button right and up ) and on the left side of this red button is small star and you have to click on it if you want to bookmark it
I don't think you should know the usernames of people in the discussion..maybe a number would be good though to have an idea..it is a different approach sometimes if you are discussing with 2-3 people and with 20-30...
Steven, I agree, it's completely fine that anonymous users are welcome. Yet it would be still interesting to know for example how many unknown guests we have :) I don't think that would make them self-conscious about the privacy in this instance.
Well done Gubaz, I would never have seen it but it is a very important feature if we don't manage to have the automatic feed! :)) By the way, nice talking to you all! It is quite simple and easy the forum really x
We can also make a separet doc but I think it is better to have it visible here. I would even ask latte to write such a short Terms of Use of the forum on the main page of the forum where all the titles can be seesn
So we have one disclaimer with the main rules. And some guidlines for the facilitation of the communication here. I can draft the short terms of use. Can one of you write up the guidlines for our own use?
I think the Terms of Use is a good idea.. People might not bother to check another link..Also, true what Gubaz said about the emails...Does anyone know what the number underneath our usernames is??
People who are 'upgraded' will see people's IP Addresses under their names when they post. Is this necessary? I don't know how people feel about privacy. I personally don't need to know someone's IP Address. I guess if the forum makes an automatic note of it anyway in case of abuse etc. that's enough.
