College Confidential Relaunch

My login usually lasts a month on desktop and mobile. Re-login on the 1st of the month. A few hiccups lately with the relaunch, though.

Mine lasts for a few weeks or so before it times out. At least for the phone. On my laptop it times out each time.

I just read the description of a Forum Champion from the link a few posts up and want to point out that @10s4life’s Forum Champion status is well deserved.

@youcee As goes for all the other posters who have that status as well

I just caught up on this thread. The bulls eye is supposed to be a C within a C?!! I had to look hard to see that. I was going to post that I miss “CC” as an avatar, which I thought was great branding. I could see updating the look of the “CC”, but think it’s a mistake to get rid of it. And in today’s environment I thought the bullseye target was in poor taste.

One positive thing with this relaunch is the site response is much faster. I had problems with speed, logon, page not found,… in the last 2-3 years.

Maybe they can work on formatting a little. I noticed @happy1 is a Forum Champion in 2 forums and that title underneath her username extends out into the post text area, which in turn indents the text over to the right. No biggie, but it looks messy. See post #8 in this thread.

Well, I can’t say I get it. Instead of “Champion,” why not Forum Mod? It’s a role, not an award, right? The implication is they won something.

I’ve already called this out and there has been a ticket opened to fix.

Above my pay grade, but I think it’s just semantics. The role is different, and having 2 different functions with “mod” attached might be confusing. Plus I think there are also systemic reasons. Regardless, I doubt most users will get hung up on the title.

How about just “forum champion” and call it a day. The additional info about which forum is unnecessary, and does make it look very sloppy.

If they insist on both parts…put one under the other…

You can’t even see the role or rank on iPhone anyways

Is there a consolidated list of Forum Champions?

** Kudos and a huge thank you to all of them! **

I agree that a list of forum champions would be useful.

@STEM2017 How do you make things bold when posting?

How about. “Meet the Forum Champions”…sort of like the one for moderators?

@CCadmin_Sorin

Yes, semantics. And I’ll live with it, I suppose. But in a context where so many kids have questions and every Tom, Dick and Harriet has advice, not necessarily accurate, it might be misleading. Maybe Forum *Monitor * would describe it.

What truly makes a champ?

@10s4life I’ll DM you.

Surround it with a tag that tells the software to make it bold. Works for italic text too:



Make some of the text **bold**, or even *italicize it for fun*


Which gives you

Make some of the text bold for emphasis, or even italicize it for fun

How do I delete old PM conversations? TIA

You don’t
