Forum / Notifications or the lack thereof
-
Charlotte HamrickMar 22, 04:54amI'm new here so please help me out. Do we not get notifications via email or flagging or something when someone comments on a piece? Trying to figure out if it's my browsers fault or if it just......isn't a given here. Thanks!

DolemiteMar 22, 04:59amIt comes.
It goes.
The ability.
I have no idea why.Used to be steady, a given.
Now, months of nothing
(then all-of-a-sudden147 old notifications
at once) -
Charlotte HamrickMar 22, 05:02am
Ah. What a crime. Thank you, dear Dawg.

It used to be so steady.
Then the formatting/notifications/etc.
all fell apart...

Sally Jayne HeymannMar 22, 03:43pmDon't worry, even if you have notifications turned off, they will show up eventually. Mine did.

Gloria GarfunkelMar 23, 04:02pmWe have a part-time techie, I assume volunteer, Carson Baker who does a heroic job given he also has a full-time job. He is amazing at solving specific glitches. This one is just one of those tragedies of life with part-time technology in a full-time technology website.

Well, that explains a lot. Thanks, Gloria.

He is always happy, cheerful, and polite in trying to help if you contact him with the problem even if he can't fix it immediately. He's extremely responsive. I wish we had him full-time. He's a fictionaut member.

I keep thinking a bug report/tech support group would be so useful, if there's not one already.
-
Gloria GarfunkelMar 24, 09:40am
We could name it after Carson Baker, since he fixes all the bugs. He always appreciates knowing about them. :"The Carson Baker Tech Bug Report Group" (names can always be changed). This I would be willing to administrate with you or just by yourself but I want to find the i.d. photo and have to administrate for that. It's brilliant. Yes. Let's do it. Totally. Or just Technical Support Group, not to put pressure on him. Yes! We could also answer trivial technical questions he doesn't need to be involved in. What do you say?
-
Gloria GarfunkelMar 24, 11:21am
We should also ask Carson about the idea and give him a say about how it proceeds out of respect and also it's his turf.
-
Frankie SaxxMar 24, 11:38am
Yeah, probably just a general technical support group would be helpful. Someplace people can ask questions, report bugs, and make feature requests would be nice. I don't see anything inn the FAQ questions about making bug reports or where to get technical support either.
Would probably be easier for him than trawling through forums looking for stuff when he's got the time to work on it, too.
Not sure if I'm qualified to answer questions here. Seems like half the time I'm the one asking. :D

He should be administrator for all complex questions. We could field small trivial ones not to waste his very short time. A Technical Support Group is much needed.
-
Gloria GarfunkelMar 25, 05:24pm
I emailed him the proposal.
-
Gloria GarfunkelMar 29, 10:32pm
He did fix the notifications but never got back to me about a group. I find them useless this delayed and just delete them.
-
Frankie SaxxMar 30, 06:33pm
Yeah, I got a mail dump the other day. XD
-
Gloria GarfunkelMar 30, 08:32pm
For all your tech problems large and small, contact Carson Baker. He is our only tech and clearly not enough.
-
Gloria GarfunkelMar 31, 02:43pm
Don't put it off. The second you notice something is off, email him. He has no other way of knowing if we don't tell him. He apparently doesn't read F himself and is grateful for the feedback. He's on the member list.

He's probably busy...

preparing his restraining order.

Why am I the only one that knows about him???? He's always so nice.
