brooklyn,
Kol Hakavod 🙂
mw13,
I believe when you scroll down it makes it smaller. When you scroll up, it enlarges the text.
Re: mw13
YOU ROCK! Thanks so much for that tip. No idea now much that helped me.
ctrl s= save
ctrl shift s= save as
ctrl p= print
ctrl x= cut
ctrl c= copy
ctrl v= paste
ctrl alt delete= task manager
alt enter= full page
anyone have less common examples?
ctrl z= undo
re: chaimss-
“I was just thinking, even if they can’t actually go through each post and really comment to the guy why it was deleted, perhaps just an automated message being sent to the poster when his comment’s been deleted/edited. Because it’s quite possible that the person keeps reposting because they’re not sure whether it was deleted or just didn’t make it in.”
GREAT point!!!!!!!!!
how abt send us some type of message on top of the page like where it says our username, that our posts have been approved & was posted?????????!!!!!!!!
mods you guys thinkin abt any of these ideas????
For Firefox users:
F1: Help
F11: Full Screen
F5: Reload page
And the grand finale, possibly the most useful keyboard shortcuts for us YWN posters:
F3: Search the entire web page for any text (name of poster, keyword, etc.) The only problem with this is that it will only find the first time this text is used.
ctrl f find any word on the page-and finds them all in order u just press next and it works anywhere on the computer
they should open a YW store and people can buy all sorts of YW stuff.
hats
shirts
reflectors
…
everyone can dress their kids in matching YW jerseys with your favorite moderator’s number.
that’s like telling a kid he could be whatever kind of fan he wants and taking him to a yankee store! if all the mods are one, then the numbers mean nothing, right?
xerox- Thanks 🙂
generally speaking, if you do not see your post in a reasonable time, it most likely was deleted. reposting without self editing will not get the post approved.
regarding editing: some edits are identified in the body of the post whereas others are done without bold text. This is up to 1) the descretion of the individual moderators, 2) the nature of what needs to be edited, 3) the volume of current posts and 4) the volume of posts in backlog.
Like the full screen tip in firefox please post all tips and tricks in the new thread for this:

how about post a link for prakim of tehillim on the main site!!! so when everyone checks out the main site & reads about all the stuff rachmanan letzan goin on we could go directly & say some tehillim!!!!
get more mods to cover the times the other mods are gone.
nossond- This is for you. Is there any way that we can edit our posts? Please? I hate typos! It makes me crazy when I read my own posts and they have mistakes.
Thank you anon. I also hate my typos and other mistakes. Its great to be able to edit your own posts as I have done on other forums.
I agree with the previous poster who said that they should sell yw caps, t-shirts etc. That would be so cool!
how about a CR search to look for a specific thread or user (find all posts from that user)?
kapusta – I believe the CR software supports search function that needs to be enabled.
nossond – there is an edit option if your post was posted and you caught the error within one minute of posting time. The setting used to be set longer than 1 min. but was for some reason reduced.
Sports thread.
yeah make a sports thread!
anonymisss-
nossond-
Joseph-
I’m guessing that we’re not allowed to edit our own posts because that would provide a way for a sneaky individual to bypass the moderation process.
I’ll further guess that a one-minute window is the minimum interval for self-editing that the site software allows – otherwise it makes no sense (to me) for such a short interval to exist.
(nossond- btw – your divrei Torah are excellent).
icot – all your points about the edit option are correct. indeed when the CR was brand new I believe it allowed it for 60 min., the default, but was reduced to the minumum 1 min. since new edits post unmoderated.
Joseph-
Thank you for the info/confirmation – those were guesses on my part.
Re: the IP info we were discussing on the other thread: agreed, most of the revealed info is useless for those playing detective. For those living in cities with a relatively small frum population (i.e. Phoenix, Dublin, Denver, Jo’berg etc.) the location can be much more revealing. Also, a particular IP can and has revealed multiple IDs using the same access point. (For the truly paranoid, a “war-driver” can pick up an unprotected WAP and get your IP from that as well. This is not a realistic concern.)
ICOT –
That could be true in theory, but remember even that info is only available to a site admin, not a regular reader. (The IP to city translation is not always accurate.) And its also easy for a user to hide behind an anonymous proxy that will mask even that much.
how many of you by mistake click on ride sharing instead of the coffee room on the home page??? i sometimes do & hate it!!! maybe to not have all those stuff so close to one another on the left side of the home page????
I did that once or twice, yeah, it’s annoying.
i have done once or twice, it’s so annoying when i wanna check the updates and i have to wait the extra minute. lol
Maybe the CR should be given its own subdomain name, i.e. cr.theyeshivaworld.com or theyeshivaworld.com/cr
chaimss:
joseph: do you read the homepage ever, or do you just go straight to the CR.
qwerty, if you asked that question you are obviously new here 🙂
I have made many comments on the main YW site over the past 2 1/2 years.
joseph: 1)i am only 2-3 weeks old 2)i have also commented on the main site 3)i was justnasking foor a joke because you were showing chaimss how to get to the CR straight.
I can: Thanks for the compliment.
About edits: YWN can moderate (approve) the edit posts just like the other ones.
i think that when you click a thread it should take you to the latest post
Blah, click the time (hours or minutes) under “Freshness” for any thread, and it will do just what you asked for!
Suggestion:
Can you allow signatures on the CR posts?
A signature is a line of text (set in your profile) that is automatically appended to the end of each post.
squeak: i agree we should be able to have one instead of typing one everytime we post.
squeak: great suggestion there!!!
I think we should be able to click on a specific post “reply” that way we automatically know to whom each post was directed
talking about signatures at the end of each post reminds me-
what happened to ‘The Wolf’??
thanks joe
Good one RY. I think I mentioned that earlier.
Sorry i don’t think i read the whole thread squeak. Btw do you think they’re taking these suggestions seriously or the CF is just the way it is?
YR- stop analyzing so much, that’s my job. and those that enter my territory….
kol yisroel areivim zeh lazeh!
YR- deffinitely. that’s why i’m warning u ahead of time
My name’s RY not YR!!
