I don't have that information under avatars.
I don't have that information under avatars.We now appear to have type and medication information under avatars, THANK YOU!
The display seems to have changed again slightly with greys used for menu headers. They seem a bit light for me - perhaps a little darker shade?
Where are you seeing this? Is it in one particular mode?Yes. Thats more like it. I think the information is possibly more than what we need, i.e treatment tablets(... is better than nothing, but is truncated, The medication is more useful, and again is truncated. I think at Avatar level all we need is type. and the rest could be in the profile info.
I'm just on the default mode. The bell and envelope are up next to my name on the headerI have changed to unx mode and can see the type and meds. However, where are my bell for post notification and the envelope for message?
I expect they show people who are online, which is useful, but the flashes aren't needed, a green dot would do the job just as well.Please could you tell me how to turn off the flashing green circles that have appeared next to some people's names. Sorry to ask, but they're giving me a migraine.
This sounds like a brilliant idea!Been there & done similar stuff of a "how to" for work, be reluctant to do it alone, very happy for others to take that on...
But however, willing to be part of a group, building such a tool , if web god's, admins, aren't already on the case, AND no one else is going alone sorting it .
If others feel they could help in a similar way, I'd be happy to contribute .
Oh, the dots have stopped flashing for me now, same for you?Please could you tell me how to turn off the flashing green circles that have appeared next to some people's names. Sorry to ask, but they're giving me a migraine.
Fear not, I'm definitely not doing instruction videos, my brain is wired in the same way as yours!Please please don't do the instructional videos as a sole source of information, because it's very hard for me (possibly more than just me) to remember the instruction, go away from the video and take it to the rest of the Board, my computer doesn't do sound (and yes: there is a hopper for the coal) and my brain, while formidable in its own way, does not translate footage but is very good at reading instructions.
Yet diabetic type not appearing on mineYes. Thats more like it. I think the information is possibly more than what we need, i.e treatment tablets(... is better than nothing, but is truncated, The medication is more useful, and again is truncated. I think at Avatar level all we need is type. and the rest could be in the profile info.
Thank you for the confidence & support of ideaThis sounds like a brilliant idea!
We do have the old instructional videos (https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/forum-beginners-video-guides.51729/) but they are pretty much outdated after the last forum update.
Making new videos would be very hard, short term, but a sticky thread in Greetings and Introductions outlining the way the forum works should be doable and very useful!
Making this thread with a group of people who are both very familiar with the forum and have experience with this kind of stuff makes a lot of sense, and we could do is a lot better and quicker using the knowledge and experience of people who are good at this, and not just trying to do it within the mod team.
@jjraak , would you be willing to set up a working thread in General Chat where everyone who wants to can help building a 'How to forum manual'?
I'd be happy to be part of the group (even though I fear I'm a tad too disorganised to write such a manual myself, I'm sure I can be of help), and I think @KennyA would be very good at this.
Thank you, @Marie 2Type under you has since appeared since you posted @jjraak or you are not seeing it under some setting or device you are using?
I find the trouble being that when I have "medium" font size I get the first but when I go "large" font size I get the second. Which is less than optimal.Thank you, @Marie 2
I didn't do an extensive check, hence the posts points I made .
I used DARK theme.
On Android phone
Accessing the web not the app.
I get "type of diabetes....."
.......Omg TELL ME
Which as has been pointed out is less then useful.
Which your very question itself, points to the myriad of issues trying to help others
Do appreciate the thoughtful post, tho
Under DARK theme, on Android & via the web age...I simply get a green 'headshot' outline to say who is online.Please could you tell me how to turn off the flashing green circles that have appeared next to some people's names. Sorry to ask, but they're giving me a migraine.
Thank you @bulkbikerI find the trouble being that when I have "medium" font size I get the first but when I go "large" font size I get the second. Which is less than optimal.
