<p>I see no ability to delete Private Messages- no matter how and where I hover. I’m using IE (at work).</p>
<p>I think SNL is talking about VISITOR messages…but you still can’t “hover” using an idevice.</p>
<p>Have avoided this thread since the early days but checking back now and still have some issues that apparently haven’t been/aren’t being addressed or changed, which is unfortunate.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>the whiteness issue, the unpleasantness of looking at each page, including the main Café page itself.</p></li>
<li><p>still no fix for an indication of what threads you’ve posted in?</p></li>
<li><p>number the posts, please!!</p></li>
<li><p>time of posts for days previous to current one</p></li>
<li><p>usernames still very small</p></li>
<li><p>can pinned topics at the top of each forum have some separation from the rest of that forum? Would it be so difficult to insert a line?</p></li>
<li><p>in the Musical Theatre forum, is there no way to show an indication of new posts in the individual school threads? There are more than 50 subforums there and it shouldn’t be expected that we click on each of those 50 forums to see if there are any new posts.</p></li>
<li><p>it would be helpful to know what, if anything, is being done about the main complaints about the new look for the site. It isn’t helpful to hear that changes will be addressed in the days, weeks and months ahead. Does it really take months to make the site more pleasant to the eye for the many of us who have been around here for years (10+ for me!) and who have volunteered our time assisting students, and other parents, for all that time? </p></li>
</ul>
<p>Well, I can’t hover over visitor messages and get anything. Laptop, Chrome. I couldn’t delete them before,so not missing that.</p>
<p>On computer with IE. Can delete my own visitor messages, but not those that other people posted on my wall. </p>
<p>@alwaysamom some of your issues were addressed (and fixed) by a browser plug-in that notrichenough created. It was posted earlier on this thread, you can search on his name.</p>
<p>Users can’t remove posts made by others on their wall. If there’s a post you want deleted, please send a PM to an administrator who can them remove the post. One of the admins who can help is Lenitus. Or PM a moderator who can contact an admin on your behalf.</p>
<p>Eventually the moderators will have their titles back.</p>
<p>I know this isn’t your fault or under your control at all, vball, but telling people to just use a plug-in to make a website bearable should be a huge red flag that something is very, very wrong.</p>
<p>Not blaming you, not asking you to fix it, I know it’s not your fault and I know you can’t do a thing about it. </p>
<p>Can someone tell me how to quote a prior poster? Other than copying and pasting…</p>
<p>I’ve been very patient and supportive of the admins working on this…until now. It would be VERY nice if they could give us an update on the progress they are making. To be honest, having “senior member” under my name was the LEAST of my concerns. When are there going to be page numbers? When is the iPad/android application going to be fixed (maybe it will work better than this)? When are we going to see a quote function? Is the background color going to be adjusted? Are we going to be able to delete PMs?</p>
<p>ETA…and what IS the purpose of the nanosecond yellow background when we post a response?</p>
<p>vballmom, thank you for the suggestion but it isn’t really what I was looking for when I posted, and since searching a member’s posts is far more difficult than it used to be, I’m not willing to waste my time doing that. I would like, as thumper would, a response from the admins who made this mess in the first place. It is truly unfortunate what has happened to this site. Perhaps they should have hired the company that did the ACA website, as there would probably have been fewer issues!</p>
<p>
There is no way other than copying and pasting.</p>
<p>What drives me crazy is the inability to go to the first new post in a thread. If they are going to have the little gray box that says “X new,” for heaven’s sake make it take you there! </p>
<p>I apologize if anyone has asked and been answered about this before, but I am not going to make my way through 55 pages of posts to find out.</p>
<p>
Instead of clicking on the oh-so-intuitive “new” box, click on the not-so-intuitive date in the “Most Recent” column. That will take you to the first unread post in the thread.</p>
<p>Hey @alwaysamom,</p>
<p>Thanks for the detailed feedback! We really appreciate all your comments and suggestions for improvement. Please rest assumed, we are documenting your input for our team’s review. The tech team is working hard to address some of these recurring issues. </p>
<p>We will provide updates as soon as we have anything to share.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Sorin</p>
<p>Yeah, and I don’t want to do everything in that plug in. So then I have to figure out which lines of code I want and which I don’t. I’m not a programmer and don’t want to have to muck around with code. Given that just about every parent has asked for less white, and it’s surely a super easy fix, I don’t know why we can’t have it. At least in the parent part of the site.</p>
<p>@moody208, it would be nice if your team could, you know, at least pretend that the concerns are really being addressed and not just made into a list somewhere. The relative silence from the admins is disconcerting. </p>
<p>
What parts don’t you want? It’s not really code, it’s more like editing a text file.</p>
<p>If you are interested, I will modify it for you, just tell me what you want.</p>
<p>NRE, if she’s like me, it’s that she doesn’t want to have to modify anything just for one stupid site. That really shouldn’t be our job. </p>
<p>@romanigypsyeyes, the reason we did not share many updates so far is because this is still work in progress. Since the update, the tech team has been working hard to address these issues. Rest assured, as soon as we have news, we will let the community know! </p>
<p>We welcome your feedback and we appreciate your commitment and support to making College Confidential better! Thanks for hanging in everyone!</p>
<p>What is still missing, and is pretty much the only factor causing me to drastically cut my visits to the site, is the inability to bookmark a whole folder, for example, “Tulane” or “Engineering Majors”. Sure I can put them in browser bookmarks, and I have, but I really liked opening CC and being able to look at my control panel which showed my DSs potential schools and if they had updated posts. I know this is an easy fix since the ability to bookmark any specific discussion is already there. For gosh sakes, just give me my little star next to the individual forums!</p>
