Feedback :)

Hey

I think the idea of a community forum is a great way for Weebly users to communicate, share ideas and improve the Weebly experience.

My first thought was that signing up to 'another thing' was a bit annoying, it would have been great if I could use my Weebly account (the same way we comment on the Weebly blog). I assume that's just too difficult to set up with Lithium.

In Safari, the cropping box for my avatar didn't respond, luckily the picture I chose was pre-cropped

Also I wanted to reply to Erin's feedback post but couldn't work out how to. Maybe replies were turned off?

It might be worth making a video that shows the way around the forum and the basics of using it.

I'll be happy to see the Weebly Community build.

Great ideas! Linking to your current Weebly account is definitely something that we're planning for the full release, fingers crossed!

Will definitely take a look at the Safari issues and see what I can find, and I'll let the correct people know, that's for specifying which browser it was, that helps a ton.

Some more feedback:

I think that maybe adding some of the blue Weebly color to parts/sections of this community would make is less sterile looking. Personally, this is a little bit too much white for my taste, which makes it a little bit harder to navigate when no areas "pop".

I'd love it if my name on the top right shows a little red alert icon or something when I have new notifications, etc. Right now I just found out that I had a notification because I clicked on my name.

In general I think this community is a great idea and it looks great already.

Hey Tinwelende!

This is amazing feedback - thank you!

We are working to add some images and spruce things up a bit before our public launch. I'm hoping this will speak to your comment about having a lot of white!

About the notifications, this is also something we are working on, but are facing a few limitations with the tool we are using. We hope to have a notification system implemented soon. Otherwise, you should be receiving emails when you receive a notification. Let me know if you aren't.

Thanks again!

Hey, there!

We will have single sign-on at the public launch, but folks will still need to register for the community the first time they visit in order to choose a username. This is great feedback though. Thank you!

Thanks for letting us know about the image issue. I'll look into that!

Yes, I did close the reply and included a link to the post. I wanted people to have enough room to make their own topics instead of just replying to mine.

I do like your idea of a video-tour of the community. Let me see what I can do about that.

Thank you so much for being a part of our beta! If you have any additional feedback, feel free to share!

I had a buggy experience filling in the 'Personal Information' section of the settings.

I had to type and 'save' my Signature, Location, Webpage and Bio about 4 times before it actually saved.

After clicking save the first few times, it acted as if it had saved - but if I refreshed the page the text boxes were all blank again and if I went to my profile that info wasn't there.

I found that filling in one box at a time worked.

(Safari V9.0.3 / Mac OS X 10.11.3)

also thanks for your super fast replies

That's very strange, but since we just opened thing up today, there are bound to be a few things to work out.

Let me see what I can reproduce/find out! Please don't hesistate to report other issues.

Thanks, Benk!
