Thought it might be useful to make a thread to post all of the new SF UI questions / tips. Seems like a popular topic right now. It's strange that I would choose this to be my first CM thread, but better late than never. (Moderators: please move to a more appropriate place if needed.)
Some nomenclature updates:
-subscriptions = watched threads
-notifications = alerts
-private messages = conversations
-B&S posts = resources
Here are some user account FYI's that I have learned so far:
-You have to close out all of your old PM's (now conversations) to make the notification number go away. You can do this by checking the box on any old conversation, selecting all, clicking the "leave conversation" option, and applying. You will need to do this for every page of conversations you have.
Administrator's note: If you LEAVE A CONVERSATION, you are gone from it, for good. You can't get back in. The other party still has access to it.
-Revisit your preferences, privacy's, & alerts. A lot has changed/been added, so you will need to reconfigure.
Some B&S FYI's, had to learn these this morning:
-Pics have to be 1MB > to upload directly (might apply to entire website).
-If you want a cover image on your resource post in the main B&S section (instead of a blank white box). You will need to add it using the "Edit Resource Image" option, under the "RESOURCE TOOLS" menu on the right of your resource page. Do not confuse this with adding more images to your resource page, that is another beast. There is a specific 250px350p limitation, so you will need to know how to edit your cover image.
-"Resource Icon" option will create a tiny thumbnail to accompany your title on your resource page. There is also a size limitation of 96px96p for it. it will auto prompt you to add this when you create a new resource post, or you can add it later using the "Edit Resource Icon" in the "RESOURCE TOOLS" menu on the right of your resource page.
-Bumping has now been replaced with the "Post Resource Update" option, located as a big blue button on the top right or as part of the same "RESOURCE TOOLS" menu on the right of your resource page. You will need to post the reason for your bump now, which is useful.
Please add your tips or questions, let's help some SF members out.
