UX observation - keep tag cloud context

Ning To Jamroom

Brian -

This works if I was looking at the tag cloud in the first place. I see all the tags, then I see the different object types that are tagged and the tags associated with that object type. The display is correct in that I am switching between tabs.

I don't have a link to view all tags from the tag cloud on the home page. I would need to add an "All" which would get me to the the page you're linking to.

So, what I do now is click on a tag and I go to a page with "Tag Cloud" tab, an "All" tab, and one or more tabs that are filtered by object type. I can click back and forth between the All tab and the Object Type tab (e.g., Forums) and I switch between tabs on this page. When I click on Tag Cloud I am taken to a Tag Cloud page.

This difference in behavior is what I am reacting to. When I click on Tag Cloud I don't want the other two tabs to disappear and be replaced by all of the tags organized by object type.

Have to move off Arvixe NOW -- Linode? Digital Ocean? Other?

$30/month with discounts for contracts. I will let everyone know by Friday if the swap made any meaningful difference.

Have to move off Arvixe NOW -- Linode? Digital Ocean? Other?

I contacted Arvixe by chat and here's what we're doing right now.

I have upgraded to a business class server to see if this addresses the db performance issues. They are pro-rating my annual personal class payment and giving me one free month to assess if the performance is better. The transfer window at Arvixe is set for tonight. They are doing the server-to-server move and then sending me the IP address. I update DNS at my registrar and we should be back in action pretty quickly.

As I have no experience managing a server I did not want to go with Arvixe's least expensive VPS dedicated server option.

I have been a Bluehost customer for a long time but have never run anything "big" on my account. A bunch of small Wordpress accounts. I had hoped run what I hope will become a large Wordpress site on Arvixe, but I don't know, now. I would have to upgrade from my dinky basic account if I were to.

Customer support has been reasonable and I have only had them get mad at me once when a couple of Wordpress installs were not managing their logs properly and I was hogging disk space. I deleted the bloated logs and changed some setting so they don't accumulate any more and I have not heard a peep out of them.

Changing text

Profile Badges

@b360 -

I have not tried to get it to work yet as the naming issue has kept me from trying to implement it. I have no problems supplying my static art files.

I can change the text in the module, no problem. Is there a 1-to-1 relationship between the order of the text in the modules and the order of the images? I would go in and replace the default images with ones I created and then make them active rather than uploading new images.

BTW -

There is no hurry on this as far as I am concerned. Today is Tuesday? Does Friday work? Monday? I do not need it today.

Context sensitive menu in Tiny MCE editor?

Ning To Jamroom

Done. Closing this one out.

Context sensitive menu in Tiny MCE editor?

I thought I did at one point - but apparently not.

I now get this error message:

DNS is now pointing properly ... but I now cannot log in

Ning To Jamroom

Yep. One of the things to add to the "When you make the switchover to going live" documentation.

Context sensitive menu in Tiny MCE editor?

Ning To Jamroom

I have a report from a member that even when the context-sensitive menu appears they are unable to upload images into blog posts.

Here's what I got in the email update:


Do I not have the Images module configured properly?
