myLot Code, myLot Flyers and Notification Management  |
|
Hello everyone!
As you may have noticed already, we launched some new myLot features today. These upgrades are all a result of feedback from myLot users, so thanks for the ideas! Most of the bugs are now taken care of, so I wanted to give a quick overview of what's new.
First of all, we have introduced something called myLot Code. This allows you to use special markup in your myLot posts, including bold text, italics and smileys! In order to reward our active users, this feature is available only to users with a user rating of 200 or more.
Next, you now have complete control over the email notifications that you receive from myLot. Go to "edit your preferences" and then click on the new Notifications tab. You can now specify the following:
subscribe to myLot digest email me when someone responds to my discussions email me when someone comments on my response email me when someone sends me a friend request email me when I receive a new referral email me when myLot sends me an alert email me when I am awarded a best response email me when someone accepts my friendship request email me when I receive a private message
I don't think that "email me when myLot sends me an alert" is working quite yet, but it should be functional soon.
Finally, we have also introduced myLot Flyers. A flyer is a special referral link that better enables you to promote myLot to new users. You will see the special Flyers link in the right rail of any interest page. When you click on the link, you are given a variety of different links to choose from to promote myLot and that interest. If someone signs up for myLot after clicking on a Flyers link, they are credited as your referral.
So basically, Flyers are a way for you to make more money by promoting myLot on your blog, MySpace page, etc. They are a work in progress, and you should expect to see further improvements in this area in the future.
That pretty much covers it for this upgrade! We'd like to thank the myLot community for all of the suggestions. Be on the lookout for more upgrades in the coming weeks and months!

oneandonemakesix (24038) | 2 years ago | Isn't it wonderful? Now all I have to do is get familiar with the flyers, but I've never been good with referrals, so I'm not going to worry to much about flyers, but I think it may bring more people here to enoy the sight.
The emoticons and the bold, italic, and the underline is great,
Because now when I cut and paste text from something else, I can make italicized so it stands out..
there are some updates to the mail features that I am not thrilled with here, but I think as with all updateds we will become accustomed to them, and either loe them or love to hate them.
But I"m glad to see that mylot is trying ot make this the most rocking social sight on the net.
Mooch

Jemina (2558) | 2 years ago | I know it's really wonderful and it makes me excited about it. Now we can play around with the text and even add emoticons to make our to show our emotions. My referrals don't seem to believe they can earn online. They just don't have enough patience. So I don't really care so much about flyers like you do. The email, I have filtered it in my gmail inbox so they don't really bother me at all.

3. oneandonemakesix (24038) | 2 years ago | Wow Crash
Thanks for the update, and the information from flyers, I have yet to find them but I'm glad that you explained them, I will be looking for them, and hopefully mylot will continue to grow because of this.
I am hearing a lot of frustration about the email updates and people having ot go to profiles to the discussions that they want to respond to.
I was a little upset that there was no warning as to the update, and down time for maintenance.
But the smiley's and emoticons were a real bonus for us to come back to.
Thanx for the update
Mooch

razcal2267 (9500) | 2 years ago | It is actually rather simple. you click{B}{I} or{U} or and combination of those and then enter your text between. Say you want to bold the word Wow You click the [B} and then type WOW between the the two{B} and that is the part that will be bolded so it will look like WOW.

AedonLeone (469) | 2 years ago | The bold, italics, and underlines are all really simple to use. Just click on myLot code and select which one you want to use, then type the text you want emphasized in between the bracketed b, i, or u's. You can also type them manually, like the last commenter said, but the last tag needs to be{/b} and not{b} or everything you type after that will probably be bold, too. The slash tells the web browser that the text formatting stops there. ;-)
Now if only I had enough posts to actually be able to use the darn codes...:-(

heavenschild (1716) | 2 years ago | Another way that works is to highlight the part that you wish to be bolded, italicized, or underlined
As for clicking on the discussion in the In Box and being able to read everyones responses before responding...I am longing for this as well!
Thanks for mentioning this for me my friend!

7. razcal2267 (9500) | 2 years ago | The upgrades are much better then your last set of DOWNGRADES. Hopefully the next set will be better and will not take days to work out all the glitches and bugs that you all will have to be working on after this set.

8. patgalca (6053) | 2 years ago | Just a note to admin, I got the alert on this and the link to this discussion. But when I clicked on the link that was supposed to take me to this discussion it took me back to my home page. This has happened a couple of times before. So I had to search high and low for this discussion.
Thanks for all the new features.

speedy1279 (1490) | 2 years ago | Yeah that same thing happened to me. Also now, my homepage is all messed up. The two columns are side by side like they should. I have to scroll all the way down to the end of the page to find the other column. It almost looks like the column widths have been increased so they won't fit side by side anymore. But the funny thing is I didn't do anything to my homepage. I was on here a little bit ago and everything was fine and then when I just came back on now. It's all messed up.

patgalca (6053) | 2 years ago | My home page went like that one day last week. I just ignored it and the next time I went on it was back to normal.

|
moneyandgc (3083) | 2 years ago | When I clicked on the alert all I got was a white page. I had to go searching for the actual discussion too. I just typed Crash into the search bar and then clicked on his/her icon to get here.
| |
|
|
razcal2267 (9500) | 2 years ago | Same here. I only was able to get to this discussion through a friends profile. It seems to be like one of the email glitches that so many were talking about yesterday.

9. jennybianca (6394) | 2 years ago | Thanks for informing us of these changes. I especially love italics, bold text & smilies. I can't quite see them yet? Maybe it is only for discussions, & not responses? Maybe I just need to refresh the page, or reboot? Anyway, I will figure it out.
