Testing a reply in the forum, to see if it replies on the blog post.

Testing another reply in the blog, see if this stacks up in the forum thread.

 

[Dan]

Seems to post okay to me.

 

[Dan]

Can some people reply to this thread please to see if you get any errors. Could do with people from various user groups and things.

Then once you've posted in this thread, mind if you visit the actual blog post and see if you can reply to the blog post too please?

 

[Qwerty]

[Qwerty]

Yeah I'm on the blog, but not the bog, mustn't confuse the two.
But my reply wasn't here at first, had to go back to the thread and come back here again, and it appeared.

 

[Old Mod]

Think it works

 

[Old Mod]

I've re posted and come back and it hasn't appeared again

 

[Old Mod]

Ok so when it reloaded the missing post appeared.

 

[Old Mod]

Not quite sure I understand why there's a thread and a blog, with the same content and what's easiest way to navigate between the two?

 

[Old Mod]

See, comment missing again.
But it'll probably appear when I post this.
I accessed this via the blog icon on new post page from drop down menu.

 

[Old Mod]

Told ya

Told me I was posting too quickly, slow down and try again

 

[Qwerty]

Talking to yourself again Marc!!??

 

[Old Mod]

Best way mate, can't get in trouble then! Haha

 

[Dan]

Okay, checkout the homepage of the blog. www.tilersforums.com/tiles

See what you guys think.

With regards to the thread/blog situation, it just allows people to comment on whichever page they're on at the time, it uses the same content on each so it doesn't matter. Sort of makes it super integrated.

LOADS more work to do on it, but you can kinda see where I'm going with it.

The header menu is a bit discoloured at the moment. I'm working on that now.

 

[Dan]

It takes a minute to copy over to the thread or blog from where you posted your reply. That's the delay. Saves on server power.

 

[Blunt Tool]

Seems to be working

Ok so what's a blog?

 

[Dan]

A blog in our case on TF is an area we can use as a kinda website. So we can stick some content on it that we want to push. If I could turn back time, I'd have tilersforums.com as a website, that includes a forum. It's too established now to change that kinda stuff, so I've stuck a 'website' on the forum.

So it'll have some news on there, an about us area, contact info, the kinda stuff you'd expect to see on a website.

I screwed up some of the font colours so I've stopped working on it right now I'm getting too tired.
