TownNews:
We often use the "Utility: Image file (flex)" block to display landing page headers and other images on our site. The image in the block will conform to the width of the containing region, however, if the image is wide (750px to 1140px) it will often be hard to read when the site is viewed on a mobile device.

I'm wondering if you might consider a block that could include multiple images for responsive design. One image for a desktop view and one for a mobile view.

I wanted to make a feature request for Blox which I believe would help our staff, and may be helpful to other users as well. This request is for the back end form menu.

When reviewing our multitude of forms, many of which were created for one specific purpose, I was thinking that it would be helpful if forms could be searched the way articles can be. This way, a user could search "subscription" and bring up all forms with subscription in the title to narrow down the list. Or if they could be filtered by date created or whether they are enabled/disabled.

Additionally, I would like it if there was a way to organize them other than alphabetically by the name of the form, as sometimes our form titles are fairly long. If we could assign them to specific folders (contests, lifecycles, subscriptions, magazines) that would also cut down on the clutter and make identifying the correct form easier.

tell me why why why if i put an article in another article, it disappears from the home page???? seriously. Where is my story.

How do you insert a image into a table cell?

It would be very helpful to be able to edit a subscription's start date, status or both. I used to be able to change the status to Disabled to temporarily remove access from a user, but that feature no longer works.

We have several "snowbirds" who want to pay in advance of their requested start date for their online subscriptions. I like to process those orders through Blox so that confirmation emails are automatically sent and their orders are entered into the system ready to go. The problem with doing this now is that the person receives immediate access to the site, and the only way to temporarily remove that access is by changing the expiration date to an expired date. If I could change the status to Disabled or change the start date to their requested date, the problem would be solved.

I am having trouble with an e-edition. I have sent the files twice and nothing is showing up on the back end. Can anyone help with this? I use to be able to push the job manually but I can't find that option anymore. Help? 

BLOX seems to have a bug where ampersands in media URLs are not escaped in the altf=google_newsstand version of the feed. The altf=verve_full version has them escaped properly with "&" but not the google_newsstand version. This causes it to fail XML validation and not get parsed by feed readers.

TownNews: I see you have fixed this issue in previous software releases for other feed versions (https://townnews.com/releases/software_releases/flex-templates-software-release---tues-sept-25th-2-00-pm-cdt/article_2abe4da6-bda8-11e8-a444-7f76286bc38c.html and https://townnews.com/releases/software_releases/blox-template-release---oct-7-2014---oct-9-2014/article_c46fb2fc-4d70-11e4-93ab-afa78a5be736.html) but it still needs to be fixed for google_news feeds.

Using Google Chrome, blox requires I re-authenticate the browser with every login instead of recognizing this is a device/browser I have logged in from before and am going to log in from regularly. Can you please patch this bug?

It would be nice to have a Delete button on the Form Viewer in order to mark a form submission for 'deletion'

People (and spammers) can upload the oddest things when file attachments are allowed on a form submission.

Since these file attachments can be viewed by anonymous users on the internet it would be nice to have a hard delete method available in the Form Submissions area of bloxCMS.

It's not often that I need to edit HTML on Blox, but when I do it would be very useful to have the option to word wrap so I can see my code while making quick edits. At the very least a Maximize button would be cool too. Of course if I am doing more vigorous work I would use a 3rd-Party notepad; however I find myself using this HTML block more and more often. Thanks for your consideration. I have placed a prototype image below.

Can you add an field for alt text in images? Right now, the system picks up the title as alt text, but we want to use alt text that is more detailed than a title would be. I know people have asked for this in the past. What's the status?
