Better visibility for RSS

Status:

Lithium provides great possibilities for RSS feeds. With Advanced Search, anyone can create custom feeds with practically no limitations.

However, many users never find the feeds as they are hidden in the Options or Search Options dropdowns.

How about making the RSS logo prominently visible in every place where you can create a feed?

These should include feeds from

- community level (new topics / new posts)

- board level (new topics / new posts)

- post level (replies)

- search options (custom feed based on search terms)

JuhisH, I agree with you. When we have the option to subscribe to content with RSS, why hide it and make it hard to find, especially when RSS is a common action an end user would look for. This is a question we ask ourselves quite often. Thanks for bringing this up!

Change Search Results from presenting individual posts to presenting entire threads

I would love to see Lithium’s search refined so that it presented search results based on individual threads, not individual posts.

Currently, if you do a search in the forum for "languages," almost the entire first page of search results are from the same thread—just repeated over and over b/c the word "language” is mentioned several times throughout that single thread. The way it works today would be comparable to Google presenting the same website multiple times, because the website contained multiple mentions of your search term, rather than just presenting the website as one of your many different search terms.

IMHO, it would be more effective if Community members could scan, on the first page, more threads that include the search term instead of having to review pages of search results--many just individual posts from the same thread. Please note that the actual search would still function by searching posts within a thread, but the results would only present the entire threads.

Cheers,

Our search has undergone some major revamping. One of the new changes is displaying results by threads and not individual messages. Coming soon in the next version in less than 2 weeks!

Batch processing within threads?

I would love to see batch processing extended so that it could be used within threads like it can be within boards. Recently, I've had several long threads that I needed to separate into two different threads. The messages that I needed to move out of thread 1 into thread 2 weren't always replies, so I couldn't do a bulk pickup using that function. I ended up moving them one at a time which was very tedious. A list of messages with checkboxes would have been much more efficient.

We see this request a lot and I certainly see how it can be useful and improve admin/moderator efficiency. Looking at our product roadmap, we are not sure when we will get to this. Don't worry...'Future review' does not mean we will never get to it. It just means we cannot commit to when we can implement this idea.

Tailor H1 Tags on Blogs and Ideas

I've noticed that the H1 tags on the blog articles and Ideas post are attached to the names of the blogs rather than the individual articles.

On this post, for example, the H1 tag says "Suggest Your Ideas" rather than "Tailor H1 Tags on Blogs and Ideas". That's the same H1 tag as the board, and all the articles within it.

Since H1 tags are so important for SEO purposes, should the H1 tags on each article matched the title of the article?

Rookie Reference Guide

Status:

by a week ago

Hi,

On Tuesday I was almost totally ignorant of SCRM and all that it portends for business. Yesterday, out of curiosity, I signed up for the Virtual Summit, and was amazed at what I learned. So I signed up and am trying to get more up to speed, using this community and others. There's lots of foreign terms for a novice like me. Is there some way to implement a "Terms for Dummies," where one can look up the meaning of the vast array of new words I am exposed to?

View Only Solved Threads

I wish I could filter a board or category to view only the solved threads. Our users have asked for this and I think it would be a great way to get started on a 'Tribal Knowledgebase'. It would quickly allow a user to view the questions and answers... Our Moderators could also use this when deciding what content to create/port into a Wiki.

I'm thinking an option within the "Board Options" dropdown but... I'm open to placing a button or link elsewhere as well.
