New Features on the WDWMAGIC Forums - July 2013

Enhancements for Smartphone Mobile Devices

• Full rich-content editor lets you format posts in the same way that you can on a desktop.
• Full support for smilies on mobile devices.
• Layout expands to use all available resolution when you change device to landscape orientation, rather than simply zooming.
• More consistent appearance with the desktop version of the forums.

Enhancements for iPads and Tablets

• Full rich-content editor lets you format posts in the same way that you can on a desktop.
• Full support for smilies.

Drafts and auto-save

• While you are typing a message, every 60 seconds, a draft of your message will be automatically saved. If you close the browser before posting and reload the page later, your message will be automatically re-shown. Each draft is associated with a particular piece of content, such as a thread, forum board, or conversation. This feature works on any device.

Watch a Specific Forum Board

• You now have the ability to watch an individual forum board. The forum watching system works rather similarly to the thread watching system, just on all content within a forum. If you watch a forum board you can choose to get alerts for new threads or new posts within that forum board.

New Conversation Management Features

• http://forums.wdwmagic.com/conversations/ now features new tabs in the upper navigation bar giving quick access to 'Conversations You Started' and 'Starred Conservations'. Starred conversations work like favorites, and allow you to star a conversation to have it show up in your starred conversations list.
• You can also bulk manage your conversations (over multiple pages) using the inline check box next to each conversation. You can star/unstar conversations, mark conversations as read/unread, or leave conversations with this.

Edit Your Own Thread Title

• If you created a thread and would like to change the title, you can now do so. Go to the thread, and click on 'Thread Tools,' from there you will see the option to 'Edit Title.'

Quoted Posts in Replies Limited

• You will notice that large quotes in replies are now length limited, with an option to click to view more of the quoted post.

More Smilies

• We've introduced more smilies to help you be even more expressive in your posts.

Nice little surprise this morning on my iPhone. Great job as usual.

I have smilies on my I Pad!!

Thanks Steve!

 

[Zweiland]

Thank you! I have been annoyed the past week as I have been on an iPad the whole time and cannot for the life of me remember the smiley codes. I shall proceed to post a smiley from a mobile device:

 

[dave&di]

I now need to learn how to post a photo on an I Pad, it took me a good few months getting it right on a laptop!

Steve, there are too many smilies to choose from, any chance of taking some away!

 

[Lisalyn]

LOVE all the new smiley cuties! Thanks so much. Awesome job as usual...ok here is my smiley test run...
Yeah, I'm good! LOL

 

[Beholder]

Is there now only one theme for the mobile website? It all looks very bright to me today as I was previously on the classic blue theme.

 

[lego606]

ooooh this new stuff is nice

is it just me or does the UI look slicker too?

more stuff I noticed: Sub-forums now appear on the main page. Nice!
Signatures limited to 5 lines - very smart

Yes there has only ever been the one theme for the mobile site. You can switch to the classic blue theme if you prefer, but it will not be mobile optimized.

Are you still working on this?

The "Live" spy feature is missing for me, as well as the log out option...

 

[englanddg]

Nevermind, I found logout under my name.

But, is the Live Spy gone?

 

[Nemo14]

Nifty features on the "members" section now! Birthdays!!!!! Thanks Steve!

Live view is temporarily unavailable.

Live view is temporarily unavailable.

I'm cool with "temporary" <grin>

Thanks! Love all the neat little new things too!

Plus a 'most likes' section, that's a great way for realising how un popular most of us are!

Of course you're there Betty! Just don't tell @real mad hatter about it!

 

[Bolna]

Great enhancements! I absolutely love how functional everything on this forum is!

 

[Billy6]

Excellent!!! Just noticed it a second ago! Especially like the auto save!

Cheers!
