Couple questions and some issue observations

[FlyingClayDisk]

First, I am REALLY impressed with the functions and features of this site!  Man, you guys have really done a great job with this!!!!
I do have a couple suggestions and some observations.

1.  Issue - Looks like there was some change to "Alerts".  As of about 15 minutes ago the "Alerts" function is jacked up.  Showing logos and you can't scroll.  Was working fine before this.  Function = IN-OP. Criticality = Low to Med.

2. Minor improvement suggestion - A "Back to Top" feature would be good.  Criticality = Low

3. Minor suggestion - Consider not quoting the previous in a reply by default.  I didn't see a way to turn this off (maybe I missed it).  It should definitely be an option, but not a default.  Criticality = Medium    (Bandwidth and storage overhead)

4. Minor suggestion - Rating a post requires too many clicks.  Is there a faster way to do this?  IMO, this feature should be pretty quick, like one click.  Criticality = Low. 

5. Question - Is there any way to highlight text in a post?  Might be handy.  Criticality = Very Low.  (example: in this post I would have highlighted the criticality rating with green, yellow and red for ease of spotting it.

Just some observations, questions and suggestions.  Not a complain by any means!

Most of this is easily addressed. 

Issue 1 is a rare but sometimes issue that usually clears up in a few minutes. PS You can alternately access your alerts on your User CP, look on the left for View Alerts.

Issue 2- there already is a back to top button

Issue 3 just manually delete the previous quote or instead of just hitting reply go to bottom and hit new reply button and tag them- Hit the @ button followed by name and it will pop up, click on it then reply to them.

Issue 4- ratings just aren't as big of a thing here but when you do it gives you an opportunity to give the person you're rating a personal note about it.

Issue 5- Just play with it, you'll get the hang of it.



Hope that helps!

Thanks for the replies.  My responses...

1.) Was still doing it a moment ago when I checked again.  I will check back later.  Also, notification is not at the last one.  That one is off the screen, as are the options buttons.

2.) Duly noted.  My bad.  I missed it.  I see it now.

3.) That's what I have been doing, but I know how to do it.  Others may not, hence the comment.  Not a very elegant solution.

4.) Understood, but that wasn't my point.  I could care less about seeing other's ratings.  Just providing some feedback.

5.) That's fine, will do.  That was just a trivial item anyway.  Complete non-issue; there are lots of other ways to work around. 

Thanks!!

Yeah, I saw that before I made the comment.  Imagine posting some text in yellow, hence the question.  Not a big issue at all.

UPDATE - Issue #1 now appears to have corrected itself.

Strange.

All good now.

It's just a glitchy thing that occasionally happens. You can always go to your User CP, View Alerts option is on the left and works even when the alerts box is showing its backside.

Issue 4- ratings just aren't as big of a thing here but when you do it gives you an opportunity to give the person you're rating a personal note about it.

I love having the ability to leave a message.

I usually just send the rating, but sometimes I have a little more I like to share, without making a regular post.
