    Okay, tip of the day 67/68 show that the maximum size of a post is too small - together they cover a topic of a reasonable daily size.

    @Jason Stone (Logos) what is the maximum size. These tops of the day are extremely useful and informative and I think consideration should be given to increasing the post size to facilitate them.

    https://wiki.logos.com/Bible_Verse_Maps now redirects to https://community.logos.com/kb/articles/549 , resulting in a Cloudflare Gateway Timeout. Other links like https://wiki.logos.com/Bible_Datatypes (redirecting to https://community.logos.com/kb/articles/546 ) work, they also contain links to the verse maps page, but that one also runs into the same timeout. For now, I'm using the archived version at https://web.archive.org/web/20240226003157id_/https://wiki.logos.com/Bible_Verse_Maps instead.

    Maybe, if the new wiki software cannot cope with that page, it makes sense to put the content elsewhere, e.g. on GitHub?

    @Jason Stone (Logos) responded here - the emails will be enabled soon

    For some reason the link posts a single comment if I make the link active - https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/1343904#Comment_1343904

    Also, there is no way to edit (or suggest edits to) knowledge base articles any more?

    This would be a big plus - as a modification to the suggestion - I'd like to again ask that we have even more control over the user view. I like @Lynden O. Williams suggestion and would really like to be able to remove Proclaim related forums from the Home Page. I'd rather use the entirety of the Home Screen space for posts related to subjects I have interest in seeing.

    Regarding long posts, keep them short, please. Break long posts into smaller segments, which are more readable and easier to search.

    Is there a way to "Mark all as Read" which changes the title from Bold to Normal? This was a great way in the older Forum to only scan the new to me topics

    A few comments:

      1. In the Overview Guide, there is no mention of what "following" does. If I understand things correctly, I know there is a plan to send emails out for followed stuff. but some statement should be made about what it does now and why I would want to follow something.
      2. Also, it would be nice if I DIDN'T follow something, that it didn't show up on the Forums page. For example, the "Word By Word" "Recent Articles" is something I would like not to show up because when I go to the forums, that's not why I'm there.
      3. Also, there is no mention about how "bookmarks" work.
    1. I THINK I know how to use the search, but the Overview Guide is confusing in its explanation of how to use it. For example, it says:
      If " characters are used around certain terms, this will change the keyword generation for these terms. It also applies different rules than the full text matching.
      But the double quote is only one character, so I'm not sure what it's getting at. It also does not explain how keyword generation is changed, nor what "these terms" refers to.
    2. The "Leave a Comment" field has the option to Save Draft. However, I have not clicked that button; yet if I start something, close the page, and come back, the text is still there. That frightens me because once I close a page, I would hope that my poorly worded comment would disappear from the planet.

    I hate for my first reaction to be a negative one, but everything is BIGGG. Just takes up a lot of space for little content. That's just my first "out of the box" reaction before really looking at it much at all, so I hope I'll also have some good things to say later after more use.

    MJ. I don't even know how to locate these Tips in this new community.

    Is there a way to follow individuals?

    Okay, I figured out how to quote. I'll repeat my question. I don't know how to find your Tips threads in this community. Is there a way to follow a person?

    I've been doing a search on TIP OF THE DAY 6 (the numbers are in the sixties) … but I haven't found a good solution yet. Today I was going to continue to find solutions to the link issue and the visibility issue. At the moment the best idea I have is to make a shortcut or favorite to https://community.logos.com/kb/articles/1016 but I have the wrong sequence for that to be a good solution …

    Given the way quoting a post works, the system requires strict limits on posts keeping them relatively short. However, some questions (beside my tips) require thorough answers which would exceed the current limits - I'm thinking some of the cantillation and Talmud discussions. I'm working on ways to solve this and will have a couple of test posts up today.

    If you mean the wiki, yes it can be edited - I'm doing so on https://community.logos.com/kb/articles/1016 The three dots at the upper right open the edit options. If you mean topics.logos.com, nothing has changed there.

    Okay, it appears that putting a post in the post and a series of comments on the post provides a reasonable format for long posts. However, the wiping out of URL's that it doesn't find responding is NOT COOL - this time it wiped out all evidence of a link to wikipedia leaving a non-sensical sentence. The speed of your connection to a wikipedia link SHOULD NOT control the content of my post.

    Will the RSS feeds be coming back? I strongly prefer getting my all news via RSS, rather than having to browse multiple websites.

    I went to make a second test of spreading long posts through comments but my post went into some sort of holding pen requiring approval - that is an interruption to making posts I don't need… who knows where I'll be and what I'll be doing when the post gets parole or a pardon. I doubt that I'll be at my desk ready to take the next logical steps.

    The vanilla community platform has a lot of potential, so I am hopeful that this is only the start of many good things to come. The old platform was effective, but had not changed in many, many years.
