Mibuso Conference

Well, I won’t be blogging the sessions now because being part of the organization is quite a work.
 
But something I want to write anyway.
 
This is the third conference I do and the first one in which I am also an organizer. Well, to be honest, in reality it is Luc who organized all. I, being […]

Well, if Convergence EMEA 2009 is cancelled, you can come to the Mibuso conference (http://www.mibusoconference.com/) on 14 May 2009. Microsoft wants to substitute Convergence EMEA 2009 with local events. And this is a local event and Microsoft is sponsoring it.

Private Messages

Inbox

Here are all the messages that have been send to you. If it happens your PM-box is full, you need to delete some PM’s to make place. This can also be done automatically by a setting (Private messages=>Rules, folders & settings=>Folder options [see later for more info]).

Reporting a post/topic

This function is REALLY underused by the forum-members!
What (and when or why) is reporting a post/topic?

WHAT: Reporting means to bring a topic or post to the attention of the moderators/administrators.
WHEN (WHY):

When you think that a post/topic is spam or advertising or if it contains offensive text or pictures,… In the forum rules is explained how […]

Create a new post

Someone has responded to your topic and you want to give more information or ask some extra information on the topic.
So, go to the topic and then click the “postreply” button (not the newtopic! This will create a completely new topic).

For the rest, this is less- or more the same as for creating a new […]

RSS Feeds

This has completely changed! The RSS-MOD we found has a lot of possibilities.
Actually, it has so many options I had some problems too. After studying them, I advised Luc to remove some of them and to make some options standard.
First thing: It makes a difference if you are logged in or not when opening this […]

Create a new topic

After you searched the forum and didn’t find your problem (and solution), you decided to write a post. But first you needed to create a login and do some setup.
After all that, finally you can make a new topic.
First problem: in which forum? Well read the forum-descriptions and it will be clear where to write […]

UCP Friends & Foes

This one is new and quite interesting. What are friends for? Well, in general you want to keep them close! How? I think it is easier to explain it with an example.

Manage friends
If for example you send a lot of PM’s to a certain person, in the new version you always needed to type in […]

UCP User Groups

Edit memberships

Until now, Luc did change some things in the forum software to simulate groups (Administrators, Moderators, MVP, Site Supporters).
Now this is integrated in the forum-software.

All users, once they confirmed the registration, are placed into “Registered users”. In some you can apply to join and if you meet the conditions, you are admitted. This is […]
