Small Upgrade On The Way

[AB Editor]

We're just adding some links to the AB social profiles (for those interested) and adding a "related question" feature.

The latter is a bit "dumb" at the moment, and runs a direct title search to produce results. We will tweak this in the future to produce more nuanced results.

Let me know if anything is on fire over the next couple of hours.

All the best,

Ed

quite un-nerved me when I replied to a Q from Bednobs.

From what i have seen so far, I quite like having the "related questions" feature underneath the topic posts. Potentially quite handy, i think.

[bibblebub]

Don't like the related question part of the page, it makes it even messier. If it stays then it's definitely another part of each page that I shall be removing (I got rid of the Best Answer panel long ago).

[AB Editor]

"Apologies Ed, was trying to make light of the current dreadful situation in Oz."

Ah, I didn't know, is it that time of year again? Been away from the radio recently, so I'm not up to date, my apologies.

"Don't like the related question part of the page, it makes it even messier. If it stays then it's definitely another part of each page that I shall be removing (I got rid of the Best Answer panel long ago)."

Ok.

"From what i have seen so far, I quite like having the "related questions" feature underneath the topic posts. Potentially quite handy, i think."

I think it will be useful to new users especially.



"Glad I've just seen this thread, I though my iPad was playing up."

:)



"Please don't tell me that's been there for years... "

It's been there for minutes, do catch up



"Is this an example of what you are talking about Ed ?

http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Technology/Question1205553.html "

yep!


"if so don't care for it at all, it's quite confusing."

Now you know what it is, are you still confused?

[emmie]

there is something called related questions, but i don't think it's necessary.

I'm usually the last to spot stuff, so it was feasible that we had had "related questions" for ages...

Anyway, you're doing a sterling job, Ed xxx

[AB Editor]

"there is something called related questions, but i don't think it's necessary."

Why not? You've not really explained what you don't like about it.

If view a question with no answers, you might find a similar question has an answer you want. I can't see what harm you think it is doing?

"Anyway, you're doing a sterling job, Ed xxx"

Too kind (clearly from some other's reactions!)

[emmie]

because i get to the end of the answers on this thread, then you can see a load more info, related questions, it's like looking at more than one thread, which i find awkward and unnecessary, perhaps i can't explain it better than this.

My brown-nosing aside, I do genuinely think you do a damn good job round here, Ed.

I've been a Systems Administrator with 2500 users to keep happy. Not easy and you just can't please them all - some days it feels like you can't please any of them.

[2sp_]

(I'm not having a go at anyone on here, before I get lynched!)

[Bazile]

Youv'e been lynched already - didn't you feel anything ? :-)

[ummmm]

We'll all get used to it.

[2sp_]

Told you I was slow, Bazile.

[AB Editor]

Hmm, I suppose it is awkward the first time you see it. We'll have a think about the way it looks.

[mccfluff]

i don't see what the problem is ????

ohhhhhhh

penny drops ... change :-)

[AB Editor]

"I've been a Systems Administrator with 2500 users to keep happy. Not easy and you just can't please them all - some days it feels like you can't please any of them."

The trick here is we ask you to please each other, and if you can't to please yourself.

[Bazile]

Actually you haven't been lynched yet ( that's why you may not have felt anything ) .

The lynch mob is on it's way , though .
However i will swear in a few deputies , and head them off at the pass

[mazie]

I think it will be great for Q&P

Look it's just frightened me............
