We've gotten our first request to cancel a subscription over the change...

Unfortunately a bomb threat, evacuation and police K9s searching the building today slowed down my efforts to get in front of this issue.

What I would love to have is some slick little 2 minute video, "Welcome to Live E-Editions" designed to quickly show a reader how to navigate the interface. This definitely seems like something TownNews could have produced to help the countless newspapers that will make this transition.

Good suggestion on the screenshots. Now I just need to find time to make it look nice an professional instead of a quick hack job.
Rich, I am the IT department and while I agree this is a simple task for me, it is not for the employees in our Circulation department.

The email just seemed like a simple user-friendly option that could benefit all papers, especially smaller ones like we have in our chain, that don't have IT on staff locally.
Rich, my thinking is that the email would be the automatic offloading. Instead of our circulation staff having to log into the FTP and download the files, they could simply save them out of their email.

It makes it harder to forget to retrieve the files when they just show up in your inbox for example.
Thanks for the reply Mike. We have seen a drop in comments, but have also seen a decrease in uncivil behavior.
I've got that as well. Maybe it is just because we're in the TCMS setup phase and I'm switching back and forth between the two a lot.

That said, the interfaces are different colors once you log in I would assume for exactly this reason, so it seems logical to make the login screens slightly different as well.

And if all we're talking about is the page background color, it is literally just a few seconds to add the background color tag to the CSS right?
Hey Patrick,

I just wanted to see if there was any progress here. Every time we have a big developing news story or major weather event we run into the issue that could be solved by this new sort rule.

Thanks.
Yes we have had several complaints of the same issue, also on our Letter to the Editor form.

I've had trouble recreating it the error on my end.
I like the "Are you sure..." option Nick.

You're absolutely right on the copy/paste. Except in breaking news situations our staff doesn't write inside the BLOX window.
The Watch feature sounds like a good option.
Will do, updating this for clarity in the ticket I open.

1. We want this (Page title: from the Edit URL/Page properties):




To be what determines the text that shows up in the footer below articles, Posted in ___, such as here:


So instead of reading "Posted in Free" it would be "Posted in Free News."
