Eltima SWF & FLV Toolbox 4 Review

[CyanBlue]

I know it's been a while... :(

It seems like I don't have an option to create a draft article... If I create an article and save it, it just goes live... Maybe it is a bug... I also am not able to edit my profile at all... Me don't really likie that black square avatar of mine... :(

Anyways, it is here... Please feel free to edit/update it... Thanks... :)

Hey mate,

Man ,this had me baffled for a few minutes!

Firstly, I think your account had an issue. Try editting it now -- it should work fine.

Secondly, your avatar was correct... I downloaded your forums one and uploaded it again, and it remained a black box. It was doing my head in. Then I realized it's got transparency and our CSS makes the background of the author avatar BLACK, so it looks like it's just a black square. I've screen-capped your avatar and uploaded in place of the one you had.

You should be able to save a Draft via the Advance Options tab in the Create Article pane. See the Status drop down. I can create drafts... But I think you're sufficiently experienced with the site to approve your own articles without them needing editting :)

And article looks good. Thanks muchly :)

I guess I don't know how to edit my profile... The only way I can see the word 'edit' is when I do Users > View Users where I see the list of 4 moderators... I do see 'edit' under the Action column, but that one and any other actions are not clickable... :(
Maybe I should use another link to log in as an author or something???

Oh, I do see the Status drop down... :)

[Jesse]

Whoops. I hadn't granted your user group the right to edit yourselves :)

Try now :)

[CyanBlue]

Awesome... ;)

Now back to something that's related to the topic... I see a pending article from Maria Holland which seems to be done... Any idea what to do with that???

I allow those sorts of advertisement type articles so long as they are posted in the Third Party section. That one wasn't but I moved it and approved.

[CyanBlue]

Sorry for not being clear on that... No, I wasn't asking if it was a spam or not... I knew that you allow such articles, but I wasn't sure if that one was just waiting for an approval or even till I post a review or if she wasn't aware whether she should let us know that the article is ready so that we can approve it... That's all... ;)

[Jesse]

Ah I see. I hadn't seen a notification about it on the forums. Nor had I seen notifications about some of the others awaiting approval.

A while ago I edited the home page of the content creation pages to remind people what the full process was. Other than that, I can't think of another way to remind authors about the process... Maybe we can change the email that goes out to new authors...

I'll talk to Strok about it.

Sounds good... Thanks, Jesse... ;)
