Forum trouble / Problems post here

PhiLho

There is a vertical-align: baseline; line over all HTML elements of this forum, making tags like <sub> to fail. I suggest to remove it. Thanks.

It would be nice if the combo box of choosing a category have no default setting, and if choosing one option remains mandatory. This way, we (hopefully) would have less messages in Using Processing.

A minor point, but it would be nice if the smiley dropdown in the writing box didn't obscure the last few letters of the line when typing (could it be moved on to the toolbar with the other formatting buttons?).

I don't receive notification in my email box, but I check all the boxes in the parameter pages to receive notifications of comments, or answers... I read in this post this problem is "recurent". Maybe I miss something in the instruction ?

I didn't receive email notifying me new comments to my post. I've already specified email notification in my forum preference. Can the webmaster help to check? Thanks!

dimiro

Greetings! My search results are not well matched to my search terms. Are there tips for fomulating search terms effectively? I've tried calibrating using simple terms ('search', 'motion', 'curve') but have failed to learn from this.

My primary interest is to search for 'moving a point along bezier curve', as I am trying to animate a point (or object) moving along a Bezier created from data input from a csv file.

and, yes, I'm a new user....

Chrisir

I mainly use google for a search together with the term "site:"

http://www.google.de/webhp?nord=1#nord=1&amp;q=JSON+site:http://forum.processing.org/two

(for your question look at http://www.processing.org/reference/bezierPoint_.html or post a new thread)

;-)

PhiLho

Note that searching from the main site automatically does this "site"-scoped search.

You might consider augmenting the search to also search the former forum as there are many answers in http://forum.processing.org/one

PhiLho

The above mentioned searches includes the old forums, the wiki, the reference, etc. That's the interest (as opposed to search using the search field in this forum, limited to the current forum, and quite limited).

Chrisir

@PhiLho: the google search is much better than the search of the forum (for short words?)

how to delete a thread or post created?

PhiLho

@Chrisir. When I write "the main site", I mean http://Processing.org not the forum. The forum is just a part of the site... Have you noticed that each page of the site has a search box?

PhiLho

@evachan: you cannot. Which is generally a good thing. In the old forum, people often deleted a thread to hide their appearance after getting help, removing useful advices from public view. It was bad practice: people spend time to help, all this information makes a precious corpus of techniques, tricks, advices, etc.

Now, perhaps you can have a legitimate reason to delete something, like a thread where nobody gave a useful answer. In this case, just ask to a moderator. They already delete duplicate posts and threads...

Chrisir

He doesn't have such a reason
