    We can make Discussions the default as well. Then Feed as #2 item to go over what else you may have missed.

    I don’t know if we have this tracked, but it’s been reported before. Something is off with the file size calculations. We can increase it or recommend 1MB or lower.

    The user database is complicated. It is shared with the Core, but users are only migrated over when this visit this sub-site. Which only the alpha testers have. So you likely saw a collision with a user that exists on the main site, but not this sub-site yet.

    Yes. But because of the complex architecture, we have to develop that integration ourselves.

    How it will likely work though, is every post on the blog site will have a “Join the Discussion” link that will take you to a discussion thread that was automatically generated for it. These discussion threads will serve as the site comments system.

    The discussion threads will have a link back to the post as well as an excerpt or oEmbed of the content.

    Additionally, we will be redoing the sub-site and main site navigation so you can move more seamlessly between the different parts of the website.

    Yeah, you have to save the image locally then use the image upload. It doesn’t auto-upload from clipboad content.

    We’ve been waiting for this feedback. Some points are one-time events, but others are daily to get people coming back. So there is a balance. I think we will turn off the email notifications and leave the Activity Feed entries. However, I don’t think anyone really sees their activity feed.

    You can see your points grow next to your name as well, but be alerted in some fashion to let people know the system exists is important.

    I’ve long had the stance the true conflict is rural vs city. Every conflict is downstream from that core divide.

    Almost all olive oil is fake. You have to really look at the details to find real olive oil.

    Not in discussions, no. In the groups feed you can do a simple “like”. But for this system you need to post a reply, which can be nothing but an emoji. But we can’t do direction “reactions” to a post or reply.

    We have a story for having a recent activity widget, but it’s not a simple to solve as you have a distinction between forums and posts. Do we highlight group posts or just forums posts? What about posts in forums they don’t have access to? Numerous details to work out, but we also have to code and build that solution ourselves. However, we plan to have it out by Closed Beta.

    RE: Groups/Forums, this will be a constant and circular discussion. Two systems are confusing, but everyone also agrees we can’t get rid of either of them. Community will likely decide for themselves where they spend their time. There are no strict rules on what gets posted where. That said, I will be doing an experiment in our Dev environment on making the system Groups focused to see if that can still work with what we wanted for forums or not.

    As far as access goes, it’s pretty straightforward. On release, much of the content will be open for anyone to read. To post, you must have an account, even just a free one. Then, to access exclusive content and areas, you must have a paid membership.

    I’ve created a guide on how to use the Timeline feature to get the most out of that activity feed. It could be a great option for a daily check to make sure you didn’t miss anything.

    I agree and I think we may need a post/guide on this. Try going to your Activity feed and see if that helps. It will let you filter by various categories, like your connections, people you follow, etc.

    But one of our story items is to create a digest for most active posts for the day. I think that will help. Hopefully we have that out in the coming weeks.

    This is tricky for sure, especially since we are catering to so many audiences. You have the Mavericks, the Enthusiasts, and the “gen-pop” all with different content buckets.

    I have been focusing on the Enthusiast space to help build on that content and what I do is create a discussion thread and then use the group has a shoutbox to lead people to it.

    Some items aren’t really needing a big discussion thread and I’ll just post directly into the Group, like a meme/image. Something that is just there for likes and “haha” type replies.

    RE: Noise. We agree and are looking at how we adjust these. A daily digest is a big item on our list. We will be turning off the points emails as well. We wanted testers alerted that the system exists, but it’s very noisy.

    I’ll look into how we can adjust the Groups alerts as well, as you get an email per post. If it becomes highly active, that is a LOT of emails.

    How the system works is you “spend” your points on badges, titles, etc. The nice thing there is the user can choose which ones they want instead of it being automatically forced on them.

    We haven’t built that out yet though. We need to decide what those rewards are and then build out the UI for spending points.
