Good news

Ironically, I believe I responded to one of your double posts.. but luckily Chris had already answered it in the original post.

Glad things are back to normal at least..

Take care,

@Reeza, I've been away from the community and am just now seeing your messages. Are you still experiencing double posts? cc to @ChrisHemedinger

Re: Cross Posting

LainieH — Tue, 08 Mar 2016 15:23:33 GMT

@Reeza, that is an excellent question. There is not a way to cross post between two communities, but adding tags to the post may make it more findable to a general audience.

@Reeza I'm awfully sorry it has taken me so long to anwer you.

It's true that bookmarked content is located under your My Settions > Subscriptions.

You can also locate them via this URL https://communities.sas.com/t5/user/myprofilepage/tab/user-subscriptions%3Abookmark-subscriptions

I like your idea about having it's own link under the profile button. I didn't realize that the mobile view was different in that way.

@Reeza, I apologize that I am only just now seeing your message. Are you still experiencing an issue with notifications? I am seeing that they are working but wanted to check with you personally. Thank you, Lainie

Re: Internet Explorer 11 and SAS Communties Website - Unstable?

LainieH — Tue, 08 Mar 2016 15:12:18 GMT

@moorsd, I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with IE 11. I plan to start using IE while engaging in the communities to see if I can experience/reproduce some of the same issues. I confess I do use Chrome most frequently. I also have IE11 so I will see if I can reproduce anything and therefore report.

Chris, it was even funnier after having an appendectomy, not eating for seven days and hooked up to a pain-med administer button. 😉

@hollandnumerics you mean serve a little "giggle water" (ala http://thoughtcatalog.com/nico-lang/2013/09/59-quick-slang-phrases-from-the-1920s-we-should-start-using-again/)

Well that'd be swell (oops that is from the 50s)

Hope to be there! Would love to be a gangster gal'

Thanks @MichelleHomes

Did you say surprises ? Good to hear from you Phil.. Michelle I'll make a point to make the TweetUp if there, too 🙂

Re: Get the most out of networking at SAS Global Forum

LainieH — Thu, 07 Jan 2016 14:24:37 GMT

@ArtC and @Rick_SAS: just being yourselves is an icebreaker in and of itself 😉

Great pointers, though.

I hope to attend this year to see everyone in person again and meet new SAS users.

Another great way to network is to attend one of the meetups, such as the Online Community meetup -- I always enjoy learning more about the users who help with communities.sas.com, sasCommunity.org, SAS-L and other communities... A great group of folks.

Take care,

Lainie

Here's a chance to learn a bit more about your online communities team members.

Re: Is there a better way to create BLOCKQUOTEs?

LainieH — Tue, 15 Dec 2015 15:06:34 GMT

@PaigeMiller, thank you. Now I understand about inserting more than one quote. I agree that you should not need to use HTML for the block quotes.

The only other way (which I agree is not ideal) is to open the full thread in a separate window using the View Discussion in a Popout link below the reply area, inserting a quote and then clearing our the text and pasting different text.

These things that I can do easily in every other forum are not advanced options

(looking for workarounds... I will see if there are others)..

So that you know, I looked on the vendor Website and noticed that this is an idea that someone suggested a while back. I voted for it on behalf of you and me:

http://community.lithium.com/t5/Product-Ideas/Multi-quote/idi-p/1447/page/2#comments

The comment from a community member in that idea was "Allowing a user to multi quote a number of posts helps them (and moderators) to answer a number of questions at the same time. The only way to do this currently is to quote a post, copy + paste and then go back and do that for all the questions that we may need to address."

It appears many others like yourself are asking for this feature! So, thanks for bringing it up. The last status on that idea was in June 2015 " It's still in our active backlog, but has not recently made it "above the line" for investment. We'll update the idea if this status changes." Other people responded after that and "bumped" the idea up for visibility and I am doing the same.

I sure appreciate you bringing this matter up. I see how multi-quotes can make it much more clear when giving answers. Thanks for being part of the community and helping to make it better.

I had to create the various different blockquotes using HTML (and getting it wrong a few times). Is there a better way?

@PaigeMiller and @RW9, there is a blue Quote option at the top of all Reply fields. It is not in the menu bar but directly above it. Does that help? For example I can click that now and get the quote above without HTML.

You could also use the insert code feature {i} to block someone too, only if needed. 
It would look like this.

Paige, I hear you regarding these items:

Sorting by date of most recent comment in a thread
Automatic threading.

I haven't forgotten about those. I will let the team know.

Hi PaigeMiller and and RW9, I'm looking into this now to give you the best answer.

Re: How to search the Communities for posts with a specified keyword?

LainieH — Mon, 14 Dec 2015 15:45:05 GMT

Hi Paige, thanks for letting me know.

If you do a search on Communities (on home page or by selecting dropdown to span all communities) I got this post from earlier today https://communities.sas.com/t5/Base-SAS-Programming/Creating-industry-dummies-uisng-array/m-p/239077#M43949 as the first shown.

It is possible there is a slight delay. Is this the post you meant?

@Reeza, after I wrote that post I found the setting that will prompt you to login when you either click Reply or Post Message. I hope this provides a better experience for you. If not, just let me know! Thanks!
