GoY Update: Help around the site
By peter
41 comments
Hi folks,
Well it seems that the addition of comment counts and new notifications was popular :o)
Just to keep you up to date, you might start seeing some extra help links about the site. If you’re already familiar with GoY you probably won’t need them, but we’re adding hints and tips where we sometimes see confusion.
If there’s an area of the site where you think help would be useful, please let us know.
Rather than taking you to a new screen, these tips are shown over the top of a GoY page to avoid getting disoriented.
Two of the first ones we’ve added are an explanation of why you can edit recent comments, and an explanation of how to say ‘thanks’ for an answer. If you want to see an example, look just under the answers to a question.
These are two queries we get quite often so we hope they’ll make GoY easier for new comers to the site.
Happy Gardening.

New to GOY myself, I can see the value of adding hints and tips as I have been rather confused at times! That said, it's been a pleasure perservering with all these wonderfull members around.
27 May, 2010
Great idea, Peter, especially the thanks explanation. I take it that it's because of all the "questions" lately that were really thanks for undecipherable help from unknown people? Anyway, I'll probably learn something, too!

Can I suggest a help category for adding pictures (if there isn't already one).
I see a lot of newbies and guests saying they haven't added pictures because they don't know how :O)

Is there any way to attach a photo to a REPLY to a question? There's a button to the right of the question/answer page for uploading a photo but when you do this, the picture doesn't seem to appear. I'm confused.

Great tips Peter. Would there be a way of letting us know who is on line by maybe having a little symbol by their name for instance so we would know that we could send a message to them then.
31 May, 2010
Thanks Peter as a new member I'm sure it will help me a lot to find where I'm going.

Hi,
Blooming_lovely - Thanks for the suggestion.
BertieFox - There isn't a way to add photos to a reply I'm afraid, the "Add photos" link at the top left is always there and is to add photos to your photo page.
Richardpeej - We don't have plans to indicate whether someone is currently online or not.
Thanks for all the feedback :o)

Wish I had spotted this before! I think May must have been a bit of a 'no no' month or something. I managed to lose 3 months' emails from Outlook Express during it. All gone from 18/ 03 - 01/ 06 at the touch of a button. Howzat?
Anyway, I've started a new folder for 'tips on GoY' and it is growing fast. Thanks.
