AB Enhancements

[AB Editor]

Following your many suggestions we have added some new functionality to the site. Firstly an ability to report unsuitable content to the AB Editor which has not previously been viewed by the Editor. A new sort option on the category homepages to view the most recently answered questions. Lastly an ability to navigate to previous threads as well as next threads.

We have a number of other improvements in development which will be rolled out over the next few weeks. Watch this space.

Thanks so much AB Editor! How very useful.

[RevShirls]

Well done, AB editor! What a vast improvement - this is even better than I imagined! 10 out of 10 Many thanks.

I hope you'll do something about the people who post non questions then? I have already reported this one using your new facility......which I don't recall anyone asking for......we'll see if it works.

How about weekend moderation and other more important issues first rather than the flash stuff no one has asked for?

[zgma]

Actually sft, I did ask for the ability to flag inappropriate posts for the moderator. And I've seen several requests for the ability to look at questions based on recent answers. Once again, thanks ABEd, I am finding it hugely useful.

[vittoria]

Thank you for the improvements.

[Wisebird]

Just to add my thanks.

[SteveD]

Great, thanks. I'm watching this space.

[Wraith]

Much appreciated. Cheers.

You can please some of the people all the time, all of the people some of the time, but, you can't please all of the people all of the time.

Has anyone else reported this post for not being a question? :o)

[Wisebird]

sft42 Do see the editor's comments on my question yesterday on 'Weekend Editing'. The editor is definitely taking notice. Also a lot of people have asked about being able to report unsuitable posts and answers and this is a great facility.

[Wisebird]

Thank you once again editor. The report button has saved me emailing you regarding more abusive postings against smudge and myself from maud/maude/w0g/lettice and now isa blackbory.

Much appreciated AB Ed

That reminds me - I was going to ask for a "previous" thingy so that we can go up the list of questions one at a time (without having to go back to the list in each category) as well as a "next" thingy to go down the list. So thanks for putting it in, even though I forgot to mention it before :-)

[smudge]

Excellent AB Ed! I have had to e-mail you in the past, regarding certain inane comments/postings. It will make life so much easier now, just clicking the 'Report' button. Thank you.

[sft42]

I think everyone is making a dangerous assumption that simply because there is now a button to report stuff that it will be dealt with....let's just wait and see then eh?

[AB Editor]

Thanks to sft42 for injecting those notes of caution - we mustn't let ourselves be carried away, must we?

To everyone else: your kind comments are much appreciated, and make our jobs that much more rewarding. The new features appear to be working well, touch wood, and hopefully will make the whole site run a bit more smoothly. Please keep your comments coming.

[smudge]

Hi again AB Ed, further to my positive reply to you, I can see where sft42 is coming from. I see that 'all' the sick replies from 'Isa Blakbory' are still on certain categories that I & Anniekon mentioned to you, in our earlier e-mails. Could you look into this please.

[smudge]

Hi AB Ed, still an unnecessary posting from Isa Blakbory on People & Places, under the heading: 'single for life or what'

[AB Editor]

Thanks smudge - I am working through the site at the moment...
