Literature Network Blogs: FAQ etc.

I think yes I use internet explorere I havenothin wrong with it :nod:

Which version Night? IE 6 or the new one, 7?

umm not a clue came with windows... its windows 2003 if that helps

Click on the Help menu at top of window, then About Internet Explorer, that will tell you which version :)

version 6.0.lots of numbers :D

I use 6, no problems with it.

I just unistalled Explorer 7, and now I'm back to the old 6--but it's still not working. I should say it works exactly the same as before.

Well, the problem I think is on this end. See, I think it is caused because of an error in a base_href tag in the source code, it tells the browser which directory to look in for links/images. Most of us must be using a "forgiving" browser that deals with the small error fine, but not a few of you.

I do need to upgrade the blog software, so maybe the upgrade will fix it. If not, I'll see about digging up the spot in the code and do it by hand.

So hang in there.

I've discovered something that may be of interest in this issue I've been having. I visited my blog while not logged in (on the same computer that I always use) and everything worked as it should. Avatars and emoticons and such things were present in all blogs that I visited, and the links at the top of the page were working properly. However, they still do not work when I'm logged in. Therefore, I'm very confused, but I thought you, Admin, might find this somewhat edifying. Thanks.

This bug is not related to blogs. It is when some advertisements are displayed and I select a menu, the list hides behind the advertisement. Is it okay? I am attaching a screen-shot of the issue.

In order to go to the links either I have to wait for the advertisement to go or click randomly on it, resulting both the advertisement window (which I dont want) to open up and the randomly selected menu option also.

Ya, it happens. Try refreshing to get a different ad. No way around it, happens with the main forum sometimes too. Just the forum software & the ad code clashing.

I know about the blocks, but can the user make other decisions regarding the appearance/layout of the blog? For instance, can the user disable the preview function?

I don't think so.

I upgraded the blog software today. There are a few new backend/setup features.

Regarding user comments:

It appears that (probably) only moderators can approve comments, not the blog owner themselves.

So, if you have a blog and you want people's comments to appear right away, you can check your comment settings by clicking on the "Blogs" pull down menu at the top of any forum screen, select "Modify Settings", then in "Blog Options" you can choose how you allow comments.

If the "Moderate Comments" is ticked with green checkmark, that means they will go in a queue and one of us mods will approve them for you.

Remember to click the "Save Settings" button at the bottom of screen for the changes to take effect.


You do have the option to delete comments once they've been posted if they are spam or you don't want them there for some reason.
