    If I search for a user to see his/her content. Or to search in it. Then please more than 5 pages. I can see my own last posts only for 5 pages. What if I want to see what have posted one year ago? Impossible right now. 

     

    An image of my own profile. I have definitely more content than the 5 pages.

    Thanks.

    Is that screenshot actually from your own posts? Because when I look at your posts, it has  "Last" next to "5" which takes me to page 37. Also, when I click on page 5, it then allows me to go up to page 7 directly, etc.

    Also, I am not sure why we talk now about shortcomings of this forum software, when the new software is coming very soon. (With its own shortcomings, no doubt. Wouldn't it be really bad if there was nothing to complain about! (Just kidding))

    Yes, it was. I cannot say why it is different from what you see. And yes this is most of the time what I see. Only sometimes (and I have forgotten it) it shows more.

    Hello Jason,

    I have again 2 improvements. 

    1. A preview where we can see how out posts would look like. Some have this. So we can check before sending. But to be honest this has more the forum software which allows BBCode.

    2. A view of all images we uploaded. Some have this too. For example I can remember how the image looked like, to find the post again. This would have been recently nice to give answer to Bradley, but I couldn't find the post per text, but I can remember how the image has looked like.

    Thanks.

    Fabian

    There is already a "Preview" button (at the top of the screen), unless you use "Quick Reply".

    Thanks. Maybe move this more to the post itself. I saw this in another forum. There is it below. Especially if then more than one post are visible.

    Hello Jason,

    I have again wishes.

    1. Undone works, Means Command+Z on the Mac. But it is not possible now to use Command+Shift+Z. 

    2. A forum for reporting bug, etc. Monitored by the developers itself. Currently I have used the Beta Forum for that. 

    Thanks

    Thank you for your suggestions, Fabian.

    I wanted to add a brief note to say that I am inventorying your ideas. Whether I am able to address all of your ideas individually, do not hesitate to continue to share.

    Grace and Peace,

    Hello Jason,

    I'm not sure if I have mentioned the following already.

    I wanted to search in the 

    FEEDBACK WANTED: New Resource Toolbar on Desktop

    thread. But I don't see a feature to only search in this thread. Means if you have a tree, and you do a search then the search should search only the the tree to the branches. Not the whole forum. Or if you are in the tree, then a feature to search broader. 

    BTW this is one of my biggest concern in Logos itself. If I search in the Inline search then only the actual resource should be searched, with an option to search broader, this would more focus on the actual resource.

    I don't understand as that is how it works.

    If you are seeing something different I suggest you start a new thread in the desktop forum where we can try to see what is happening.

    Good question. I was under the impression it would take 3-4 days. But it’s been longer.

    It was delayed based on the requirements mentioned in these forums after implementation was scheduled. So, it is back for broader beta testing. I've not really kept tabs on it once I tested what I needed to know for personal use.

    Hello Friends,

    We're just as excited as you are as we get closer to launching the newest version to our online community, but we are going to delay a bit longer. (Not too long, don't worry) We've been working hard, but after seeing so many great questions and ideas, we'd like to open the door to more users and feedback in hopes to make the space even better at launch.

    We cannot swing the doors wide open just yet, but we would like more users. Do you want to be considered for an invite? Fill out the following short form and we will be in touch with as many invites as we can accommodate.

    As always, thank you for being a part of our community. It would be nothing without you!

    Interested? Fill out the following short form: https://forms.gle/8dPP4dSsSP8BaxZb6

    I filled out the form, not sure when. I have not been invited. Is there still testing going on? I would really like to be invited to test if testing is still happening (pretty please...).

    Correct! We are almost finished building a new beta space, and I cannot wait to invite our pool of users to hear feedback given how far we've come with this project. Many from our team on this have been dividing their time elsewhere (ahem, https://www.logos.com/future-of-logos) so I really appreciate your patience here. Again, we cannot wait to share!

    Have a great weekend!

    I'm glad to hear it hasn't opened. I thought I had been rejected and that my self-image as a pretty helpful beta tester was going to be wrecked 🤣

    Knowing that you are paranoid, Justin, doesn't mean that they are not out to get you!

    So relieved!  I was trying not to secretly feel rejected, despised, a man or sorrows, unworthy. Today, we have a spark of hope!

    Hello Jason

    I have other issues.

    1. Currently often the line breaks (hit enter) are skipped if the post is live. I had this a few times lastly.

    2. A better system for links. Sometimes the links are not recognized if not one or more space are after the links.

    3. Auto-refresh of the website.

    4. Sometimes not all is displayed. 

    5. A better Amber. https://community.logos.com/forums/p/226289/1323057.aspx#1323057 There is no working help files. No real instructions, how to put then the link in the post. And some other issues. 

    Thanks for your attention.

    Received! I am not sure that we will be able to address the auto-refresh (while it may be possible, it would require a website refresh every second and that may be a bit much), but I believe the other items here should all be addressed. Thank you so much.

    We’re thrilled to announce that we’re only weeks away from unveiling the brand-new Logos Community! After gathering invaluable feedback from our amazing beta testers and staff, we’re are making the final tweaks to ensure this platform is tailored to your needs.

    Mark your calendars for November 18! On that date, we’ll be migrating all existing data and content from community.logos.com, feedback.logos.com, and wiki.logos.com to our new community platform, which will live here at community.logos.com. There will be a brief downtime as we make the switch, but once live, you’ll be welcomed into a fresh, intuitive, and engaging space designed for your growth in the Word and connection with other users from around the globe.

    Thank you for being part of this journey! We’re counting down the days to the launch of your new community home.

    Over the years, I have bookmarked various forum threads that I wanted saved and refer back to from time to time.  Will those bookmarked links remain the same? How will I be able to locate those threads?  Do I need to do anything to save those threads before the migration?

    Should the direct links not work anymore, you could always try and enter the address here, usually the threads will be archived: https://web.archive.org/

    If you bookmarked those in your browser, you will still be able to access those. We will be setting redirects so that everything is still accessible on the new site.

    If you bookmarked them to your forums profile (as a Favorite), we are doing everything that we can and hoping to have Favorites migrated to your new platform profile (but we cannot guarantee that). There is a lot to move; and small bits may be lost here and there. Our tests have been successful in moving Favorites from the old platform to the new; but I'm trying to remain transparent.

    You can expect new features like user tagging, reaction options for posts, improved mobile usability, and more!

    A much better forum search capability would be appreciated.

    I can't Search (from Home) on Tags or Categories. As Tags can be used to filter a forum, Search should also have that capability (and likewise for Categories).

    For accessibility, consider having Search as a Menu item
