How the site works

Sorry, but I've been participating in debates on forums for many years.

But here, on this one, I admit to losing my Latin...

No "Reply" button, even though I received 2 replies to my first post.

No button to insert an image or anything else...

 

I must be "idiot", but I would like to understand...

 

PS: Thanks to the editors of the 2 answers...

Choosing the number according to your liking earns 10 for the poster of the tutorial


That's it, it's very simple, it's a tradition, it allows the other members to be able to evaluate this tutorial

Bosoir,

 

I have a question in progress too, here's how to do it.

To answer you have an icon 'Answer at the bottom right of your question, and if you want to insert an image below the frame of your answer there is a "choose a file" icon, look at the image I inserted, on the other hand it is small sorry.

FYI also, I created a tutorial to close the question:

Go look just in case.

Personally I find this site much more practical and more welcoming than other forums.

 

But of course you have to get used to the slightly different way it works

4 Likes

@Tomalam:

Welcoming okay, but practical, I don't really agree with you.

 

The fact that you have to subscribe to your own question, I don't find it practical.

Same for a question that was answered.

It is impossible to follow a group or a news item without constantly scrutinizing the articles concerned.

 

Personally, I don't find it very practical, but it's a very personal opinion.

I agree with Pascal's opinion, I don't find the operation very intuitive, however the quality of the answers makes you forget this little detail!

 

Have a good day everyone

So I'm not a fan of forums (so not formatted) and so I find it very intuitive. The clean interface suits me perfectly.

 

As for the quality of the answers, I think we all agree on that.

3 Likes

I completely agree with @Pascal and @hospital

 

There is a lot of effort to be made on the FOFO

 

  1. Posting live images in the feed would allow you to better understand the topics
  2. Post videos
  3. stupid to be forced to subscribe to one's own questions
  4. The same goes for the groups
  5. a direct link to the new reply on the messages received

 

and I have a bunch of others.................. etc... etc... etc.......................

 

@+ ;-)

Ok Pascal except for subscribing to his own question, I always received a notification without subscribing to my question. Maybe a problem with the setting (see image)

Of course for notifications and mail we are missing options, but there is a group of changes to be made! Isn't that @Clémentine?

 

It's true that some proposals have gone unanswered, but because there wasn't much mobilization on certain subjects!

 

By the way, there wasn't supposed to be a major evolution of the site in April?

Hello

 

I didn't have any particular problems on the forum.

I always saw on the first try which buttons to press.

 

After that, it's true that the ergonomics are not at the top.

For example, it is impossible to see if a new answer has been given to a topic.

(The topic could appear in bold or move to the top of the list)

 

For a discussion of several pages, it is impossible to go directly to the end. You have to open the 1st page, end at the bottom and click on the last page.

 

I can also understand that the answer button that remains under the initial question can be disturbing.

 

But hey, you get used to it, you deal with it and you have to have the opportunity to improve.

 

S.B

 

ps: I'm not talking about the quality of the answers, already mentioned.

Still, he admits that Lynkoa's overall is rather positive. Otherwise you wouldn't be a top contributor with more than 1000 responses and we wouldn't accumulate 5000 responses on the TOP 10! No? Yes, there are details to be settled, but let's give Team Lynkoa the benefit of the doubt. We have no doubt that they are listening to our comments!

 

The picture would be so bleak, there wouldn't be such dynamism in just 1 year!

Small stone in the edifice: the functioning is very good and we cannot question the quality of the answers, we all agree.

 

After that, it is not easy to create an environment that can totally please so many participants.

Despite the community aspect, I don't find Lynkoa to be really a forum, in any case the general presentation does not look like it. I have actively participated on several other forums and I admit that Lynkoa shakes up habits but is very intuitive in the end.

 

You have to understand the system of questions / groups, etc but once acquired, it's as easy as pie.

 

Still a little problem with the "search" function even if I think it's improved a lot but you have to find criticisms eh? :)

Hi all

 

Thank you for your opinions. We note all your upgrade requests reported in the "Improvement" group.

 

But take into account that Lynkoa is only 1 year old, and it's a social network (not a forum). Even if gt22 persists in talking about the "fofo" ;) 

 

We are aware that there are many changes to be put in place. Ideas flow every day in our offices too! However, we don't have an expandable budget, and developing new features is very expensive. We have chosen to reward our members, it is also a budget for us.

 

Each site that is just starting out has its share of bugs and evolutions to think about. For those who knew Facebook in the beginning, it was very different from today... with bugs etc. At Lynkoa, we don't have hundreds, or even thousands, of developers at our service... hence the wait for the new features.

 

We do our best to meet your expectations. On behalf of the team, I ask you to be patient and above all to continue to keep the site alive as you do. The more members we have, the more the site will grow and the more it will hope to develop its budget.

 

For your part, don't hesitate to sponsor, friends, acquaintances, former colleagues...

 

Thank you all, and see you soon  !

 

PS: there will be change, a little more patience:)
