Jep Share Forum

[Rebecca Donnelly]

SoI have not so many users, and they seem to keep coming back. Maybe you have very many users, and most of them visit only briefly. But how many do stick around? Maybe your monthly user numbers are a better indication of how many returning users you have.

I think the DAU/MAU depends on the number of registered users too. It means if more people join the community than the DAU/MAU will can be lower easily. For example if you use a gate theme-component it will generate you more registration but the user stickyness percentage can lower. And of course there are the community factor. If there is a problem in the community, it will appear on the report too.

Different communities will certainly have different expectations for this metric. Deciding what you think good looks like for this number certainly depends a lot of your own understanding of your community.

I agree. I believe forums that exist to support a product (like software) or to support a service will probably have better odds of good engagement numbers over a shorter space of time. Especially if you write software with a lot of bugs, jk!

Compared to a forum created just for general discussion and community around a topic. My forum is the later. There are no support threads about something sold or something downloaded or anything like that. Just a topic for discussion and community.

Or in short, some use forums to support their brand (product, service, etc) while others use forums to build one. The latter can be a bit more challenging to get going but the DAU/MAU can be just as good over the long term.

It is super easy to get direct download link of image files that are saved in your Dropbox account. And more importantly they will work with [img] commands used in forums that you mentioned in your question.

Basically, what you are doing by adding the raw=1 to the end of the link is hotlinking it. That's is sharing direct download link to the file. Anyone who clicks on hotlinked file will not see any of the Dropbox frames, logos, etc. It works for any type of file that you share.

If you link to your images/videos stored within your Dropbox account then that counts against your daily bandwidth allotment. Every time those images/videos are viewed in a forum or blog post can add-up quickly (especially when shared via different social media oulets).

Usually, it's only a problem when you have a free Basic account, but it's something you should be aware of ahead of time. In order to avoid bandwidth limitations, you can upload your pictures/videos directly into the forum, website or blog post.

We have a large folder of images I need to link via spreadsheet to upload to our shop website on opencart. I have found instructions about editing the end of links to be ?raw=1 to hotlink, but despite my best efforts the links do not pull through and download from dropbox like they have done with other hotlinks i've made on our site. Here's a screenshot of my spreadsheet; the non-dropbox links have worked but the dropbox ones don't. Any ideas?

Just wondering if it is possible in Moodle to have a Forum which is accessible by users enrolled in Multiple Courses. Optimally, this would be a 'Course Category' Forum where any user enrolled in a course in that specific category would be able to access it.

One option is to create a new course in the "social format" with only the forum and add a link to this forum in your other courses. You can allow students to self-enrol themselves in this social course without an enrolment key if that makes it easier.

You could also set up course meta-links to the standalone course containing the forum. That would then bypass the students needing to self-enrol. It would also make future management of the enrolments easier as when they are removed from the all 'master' courses they are also removed from the associated forums - especially useful if you use an automatic enrolment mechanism for the main courses, such as an external database.

Recently, sometimes when I upload a jpg into a forum comment, instead of displaying the preview, it just has a box that says Dropbox.com. Clicking goes to the image but it does not preview. I have deleted, recreated, resized, renamed, moved back and forth, etc etc without success. This doesn't happen with all images. I remember once, I was able to get it to display - maybe by renaming but forget.

This is on FB. I often upload DB photos and a preview displays. It is intermittently not doing this. I can't figure out what the difference is. I try all sorts of things, as described in my opening post, and it behaves as described.

I understand I should see Create Link on the first Share. However, it holds the old reference and uses Copy Link in instances (described in opening post) where it would seem it should have used Create Link, as a first-time Share. So it is difficult to get around this problem of the image not showing a preview.

I have recreated the file though. Go into Photoshop, change the size, rename, and it does the same thing. Saved as jpg. It is not a large file under 100KB. I still have problems with it giving a Create Link.

I would imagine this would be a feature that your affiliates would like too. Being able to create and share templates to help people get started would be a great way to encourage people to try Monday.com for themselves.

In the Open or Save As dialog, click "Share"; then, look in the URL bar at the top of your browser window. It will be a new URL that you can copy and paste into emails or whatever, to share with your friends.

Pseudo-agreed. I've been thinking for a while that, when searching, if there's only one project left in the list, it should automatically get selected (and unselected again when if the list grows back).

I'm not opposed to that, but I think we might want to be careful there... Just because there's one thing left it doesn't mean it's what you expected it to be. (Unless, it's like always selecting the top item, but I probably wouldn't do that anywhere near a delete button.)

But also, the above issue really should be solved/aided by having Snap!'s buttons look visibly different depending upon the state. They should be disabled when no project is selected.

It shouldn't even be possible to click a button that does a no-op like that.

No, it should do what the user obviously intended. Yeah, with a confirmation if you click delete. But we shouldn't grey out buttons in order to turn an undocumented misfeature into a documented misfeature.

I think you're misunderstanding my point -- there's always at least an initial case where a project isn't selected. And even when there's only 1 project shown it can be deselected. The buttons are confusing even when there's dozens of projects. Communicating when something can/can't be done lets users figure things out.

It's not completely clear what the user intended. There are plenty of times you filter lists and it's not what you want. Even then, a state when auto-toggles between a selected and unselected state can be odd. It'd honestly be less confusing to always have the first project selected -- though I feel like this could lead to accidents, but the behavior would be expected.

When I set up my home computers, I do so the same way I did when I worked at it. So, a large capacity disc split into at least two partitions: one is for Drive C: and that is my boot disc, operating system (Windows) and programs. The second partiti...
