Is there some help for this new "forum experience" ?

[K.Daube]

Dear all,

I was searching in this forum (FrameMaker) for the scripting posts and got a head line stating: 87 posts found.

After scrolling down in the browser I was at the 7th post. I did not find a method to see the other 80 posts listed.

How to do that?

Yes Klaus, it's going to be painful - until things get ironed out I suspect. Even us moderators haven't been briefed yet on how it all is going to work...;>)

What formatting/markup is available? Entering line breaks causes posting. Edit function throws error and deletes comment. What is syntax for date format, etc.

I think if you click on the Scripting tag under Topics (on the right side of the main FrameMaker forum page), it'll pull up all topics about scripting.

[K.Daube]

Yes jmyers2, that's clear to me and have done so... However, if I use the Search all content on top of the page and get hits, then I do not see a method to get more than one screnn full.

Just look at these screen shots. First the top of the browser page:

And the bottom of the browser page

The forum only displays about 7 posts at a time. It's supposed to keep revealing additional an additional 7 (or 10?) posts as you scroll down to the end of the page using either your mouse wheel or the vertical scroll bar.

Lin, as you see from my lower screen shot: I'm at the end the web-page (by scrolling down) and there is no means to go to the next bunch of posts.

[LinSims]

It may be something in your setup or browser, then, because I can keep scrolling down the page when I select the Scripting topic. Sorry. 😞

[K.Daube]

Lin, the problem does not occur in the ‚normal‘ page with the topic selection. It occurs on the search results page. On the normal pages the page is (after a short time being at the bottom) elongated (the scroller goes up). 

[LinSims]

Oh, I see what you mean, now. That does suck. The problems with these forums keep increasing. I'll add this to the list in the Back Room.

[jmyers2]

Oh, I see what you mean! I just get a short list, too.

Well, as for me, I love it. Can't figure much of it out, but after one post I am a community superhero. Who can beat that?

[K.Daube]

For me this batching is an overkill - it reminds to the "Heros of the work" in the former Soviet Union: old men decorated with a panel of tiny flags alltogether the size of a pocket. And nobody could explain to me the meaning of any of those little flags ... IMHO a set of 3-5 badges would do the job better than this proliferation of blunder.

Right! Like those generals that hang around politicians with all that chest candy, like they need a forklift to put it on. This whole thing really seems like an exercise in overkill and kindergarten-style encouragement. And lies. Like when somebody "liked" my post, I got an email that said they "thought it was awesome." That could be an absolute lie. They never said that. Just decided they liked it.
