GoY Update: Comment Count Returns
By peter
63 comments
Hi Folks,
We’ve made a couple of updates to your homepages.
Firstly, we’re pleased to announce the return of comment counts. We’ve added 2 counts to your homepage. The first tells you how many comments you’ve received since you last logged in; the second how many comments you’ve received during your current visit.
Quite a few people got in touch to say they missed the comments count and felt like they might be missing new comments they’ve received. We hope they help you keep on top of your messages :o)
We’ve also added notifications so we can let you know of updates to the site. These appear on your homepage and once you’ve read a notice you can dismiss it so it won’t be shown again. A few of you will have already seen one – if you haven’t there should be one there now if you’d like to see an example.
We hope the new changes are useful, and as usual we’d love to hear any feedback you have :o)
Happy Gardening

Will the "notifications" replace your having to inform us of updates by posting as a general blog? This would be excellent, and would ensure that we all get them. :-))
Great, too, that we can see comments during current log-ins. Exchanges of info, etc, on GOY are already swift, but this will help us share info, ideas, solve problems, etc, even quicker. You guys are, really, wizards! :-))

Great stuff:0)
24 May, 2010
thanks Peter :o)
25 May, 2010
Great improvement, Peter, and thanks for keeping us updated! You and Ajay just keep making a great site, even better! It is much appreciated!! :~))
25 May, 2010
Thanks everyone, our pleasure :o)
David,
I suspect that it will depend on how much we have to say :o) We will use the notifications from now on and if we want to post more detail than a short notice we'll blog and put a link to it in the notification.
25 May, 2010
Thank you Peter, looks like you're even more popular now.
25 May, 2010
Thanks Peter! Im sure as a new member I will find this very helpful !!
25 May, 2010
I love this site..Thank you so much :-)
25 May, 2010
Thanks for this site and all your work on it.
I think that the way questions are submitted could be improved upon. At the moment here is no field for the question title, and the first line of the question is used as the title. This means that there are some questions with poorly phrased titles.
Also, any chance of a 'thanks' button?
thanks!
25 May, 2010
Thankyou Peter :o)
25 May, 2010
Thank you, Peter...:)
25 May, 2010
Thanks Peter.... very useful....
25 May, 2010
well I just agree with everyone, thanks Peter
25 May, 2010
You're welcome :o)
Bryony,
If you edit a question you can change the title. The reason we take the first part of the question is when we prompted for a title & a question we found the titles to be less informative. We had a lot of titles like "Help" that weren't useful.
Thanks for the suggestion of a 'thanks' button, it is on our list of things to consider. :o)
25 May, 2010
Thanks for thanking me for my suggestion for a thanks button :D
25 May, 2010
What a great idea, thank you. :o)
25 May, 2010
As a new member I am very immpressed wiht the site - including the count! I wish I had found it earlier! Thank you. ;-)
25 May, 2010
Great work Peter, the site just gets easier and easier to use every time i visit. Love it! :-)
25 May, 2010
Thanks, Peter, it should be very useful. :-)
When will we get smilies?
26 May, 2010
Thanks, glad it's helping!
No plans for smilies I'm afraid, Balcony. semi-colon, hyphen, close parenthesis
27 May, 2010
Thanks from me too Peter.
27 May, 2010
May I make a suggestion? When you get to the bottom of a very long blog, like this one, would it be possible to put in a return to the top tab ?? It would help us oldens !!!!
ps. Love this site and have made some lovely friends.
27 May, 2010
There should be a 'page up' on your keypad above your arrow keys Grandmage :)
27 May, 2010
Oh yes, lets see if it works
27 May, 2010
Yeah it does, thank you !!!!!!!
27 May, 2010
Aster, it's brilliant !!!
27 May, 2010
Nice idea, Grandmage, we might still add it for those that haven't discovered 'pg up' and 'pg dn' :o)
28 May, 2010
I hadn't until Aster pointed it out, I am always learning !! Thanks.
28 May, 2010
i think this is a very good idea, thanks peter
28 May, 2010
Me again, is it possible to somehow flag ones Inbox to let you know someone has sent a message, sometimes I forget to look and a message can sit there for days!
28 May, 2010
Hi Everyone
I just didn't want to be left out of this so I agree with whatever everyone says. Not sure who you are Peter but I guess you are the one who fixes things and keeps everyone happy. Thanks also to those who have made me feel so welcome, but - I do have a worried husband who can't understand why I am spending so much time on the computer all of a sudden!
28 May, 2010
thanks peter - i didn`t know there was a pg up and pg down must look for that !!
28 May, 2010
oh yes found it !!!! this is really good !
28 May, 2010
I think that is a great point from Grandmage, Peter, to let you know if you have a pm in your inbox -not sure if it can be done though :-)
28 May, 2010
Viv, it was Aster that told us about this, great isn't it !!! I love my uppy downy keys !!
28 May, 2010
Thanks Peter, all improvements are welcome, but an indication of a pm would be good. ?
29 May, 2010
Much better - now I won't miss any comments thanks
29 May, 2010
very good thanks peter.much better
29 May, 2010
Hi folks,
Grandmage - the counts on your homepage let you know if someone has commented since your last visit. Or if they have commented during your current visit to GoY. You can also set up your profile so that we email you if you have received comments - feel free to get in touch if you'd like more explanation.
Droopydraws - Hi, and welcome to GoY :o) I'm one of the people that fixes things (www.growsonyou.com/ajay is the other).
Richardpeeej & Valadel - PMs are included in the counts too.
I hope that helps, and thanks for all the comments :o)
