JoeUser Version 2 Arrives

A whole new world!

from JoeUser Forums

It's a whole new JoeUser.

The site has been completely rewritten from scratch. Some features haven't been completely re-implemented and there are bound to be some glitches.

But we now have the kind of backend and application support to do all kinds of cool stuff.

In the coming days, various usability tweaks will be made as we discover what key little features we've overlooked. Then, in the next few weeks, we'll start to add in new abilities and such.

We hope you like the new setup. I think as you look around your blogs you'll find that you have a lot more control than before and will find that things actually (shock) work much better than the old system.

If you accidentally click on Blacklist, you'll get a pop-up asking to confirm the action, so you won't be blacklisting people unless you really mean to. As for the "newest" page. That's coming back, it just wasn't something we could get in for launch.

Yea, I 'sperimented' witht hat.  Cool!  It shows you every time you look at a user if they are BLed or not.  Nest step is to be able to use an "ignore" feature".

On the BL again, is there a place to see who is on your list?  I have been poking around in my profile and blog and have not found it yet.

Got to do something with the default font too.  Still playing. ;)

I believe that's under the Dashboard with all those other goodies. 

Where you have the header with all these terms:

Dashboard

  • Blog
  • Write
  • Articles
  • Comments
  • Referrals
  • Blogroll
  • Blacklist

    • ~Zoo

    Start11 - Customize the Start Menu and Taskbar in Windows 10/11.

    Zoo, can you mouse over that and see the link? Mine is not formatting right, so I can see parts of the dashboard, but have no clue on where to click.

    Oh, and dont worry about the points. I am not sure what is going on, but mine went to a lot to about 48k. Eh? I just want to read and comment. Let others worry about points.

    Thanks Zoo

    p.s. Never mind. If the link is what you linked to (and seems logical), it is not working. I clicked on a couple of the links I could see and click on, and they were obvious (account, etc.) Blacklist came up page cannot be displayed.

    Guess that one is still under constrution too! ;)

    ^^^^That link should get you to your blacklist...but maybe you're just weird. :P

    Eh, I'm not worried about the points.  I'm still a decent rank...probably where I was before the transition, so I'm fine with that.  Not like I'm going to stop writing or anything. :D I've got too much to say...and besides who else am I going to force to read my poetry? ;)

    Points dont make the poet!  ;)

    Besides, we stay because we enjoy writing, ranting, and the comments.

    Just an FYI for Brad and Zoomba.  Thanks to Zoo, I got to my page, and it was blank.  So warn everyone that their BLs are toast now too.

    or dont (warn them). ;)

    Hmmm I don't even see a blacklist link let alone one being too close to the quote one. Where is it?

    Is it just me or did the "Religion" forum category go byebye on the forums.joeuser.com (right hand column)?
    Reply #33 from Stardock Forums Top

    AD, must be just you.  I posted there this morning.

     

    See ya!

    I'm working on a Guided Tour to JoeUser 2 (With Pictures!) article for tomorrow walking everyone through where we've put all the cool new features.

    And as far as the blacklists going bye-bye... they hadn't worked in nearly 2 years anyway, so I don't think that's an issue.

    Reply #35 from Stardock Forums Top

    Hmmm... I posted a reply, then it disappeared.  It seems the religion category is missing from the "forums" page.  Although I posted to it his morning, I did so from a compostion page and the category appeared in a selectrion box to the right.

     

    Hmmm.

    I'm loving the new format but if you're taking requests, I would love to see the entire article title featured under recent articles.  My ten free things you can do to save the planet, just reads ten free things you... 

    I suppose I could just make my titles shorter but hey it doesn't hurt to ask.

    Other than the kinks (which are the usual!!!) I totally like this new layout. Thanks JU Admins.

    Could one of the administrators respond to my question about posting pictures, please.
    Reply #39 from Stardock Forums Top

    I saw someone else ask about the fourm page, but I didn't see the answer. Is there still one?

     

    O.K. adding another question. I used to write in front page and then copy and paste the script, can I still do that with this new editor?

    Thanks.

    I have a few questions and issues, hopefully I can get this clered up here.

     

    1) Somehow I can never stay logged on to the site neither with Firefox or EI when even I leave the site. I always have to log in manually on the old JU and this new one.

    2) Is this site more Firefox friendly? The quote feature never worked for me.

    3) Can I still use programs such as Microsoft Word Blog and Microsoft Live Writer to post articles?

    4) Is there a signature feature, I wouldn't mind having something like a modo, a phrase or my name at the bottom of each of my replies. I'll even take a add on for Firefox that can do that.

     

    Sorry for all the points, just would like to have a better JU experience if I can get this issues out of the way.

    Doesn't show up in the forums. If you're on a blog it's over to the left of your comments...under the avatars, I believe.

    There seems to be some issue with a script in the new article page. I've already emailed Zoomba about it. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon.

    Found the forums. woo hoo

    same here. Instead of at the top like on the old website, the link is somewhat in the middle below the ads.

    We're going to add a forums link to the top of the page for logged in users.

    Are you clearing cookies regularly?  Do you have any software that does browser file scrubbing for privacy/security reasons?

    2) Is this site more Firefox friendly? The quote feature never worked for me.
    End of quote

    I've used Firefox 2 and IE in equal measure to test JU2 throughout the development of the site.  It should work just fine (note: Firefox 3 Beta has issues)

    3) Can I still use programs such as Microsoft Word Blog and Microsoft Live Writer to post articles?
    End of quote

    Yes!  I will have the new information on that posted this afternoon.

    4) Is there a signature feature, I wouldn't mind having something like a modo, a phrase or my name at the bottom of each of my replies. I'll even take a add on for Firefox that can do that.

    No signatures at this time.  We're considering it for a later update.
