Blog EntryGuestbook 101Nov 17, '07 2:48 PM
by Luiz Felipe for everyone

  • Large pictures may make the column where the Guestbook is in your main page too wide. Either remove the entry or ask the poster to remove the code. Also, you can add this code to your Custom CSS to display a scrollbar when it happens:
          #home_guestbook .replybox { overflow:auto; }

          or, if you don't want it to display any image at all:

          #home_guestbook .replybody img { display: none; }

  • How to remove/delete messages from your Guestbook:
            At your main page, you won't see the links to delete comments or edit your own replies in your Guestbook. To do this, you have to go to the Guestbook page. You can get there using one of these ways:
            - at your main page, click on the link below your Guestbook "View All NNN Comments"
            - use this link: http://Your_Username.multiply.com/guestbook (replace Your User_Name with your actual Multiply username)


  • Also, you can edit the number of comments displayed at your main page and the access (privacy) level if you click on Customize My Site and then on the Edit link found in the Guestbook box (see the image below).

  • You can now completely disable HTML in your Guestbook replies, just edit it in your main page (see the picture below).


  • If you can't see your Guestbook and you didn't hide it using the Hide link while your main page is in 'Customization Mode', probably you've set your Homepage to 'Linear View'. Return it to 'Boxes View' to see your Guestbook again:
            http://multiply.com/setup/pages/home

  • If you are still experiencing problems about deleting stuff in your Guesbook and your are using Firefox, you can go to its menu and select: View -> Page Style -> No Style (look to a similar option in your browser if you're using another program) to disable CSS in your page so you can use the delete links to remove any offending material. Then you can enable it again.

  • Groups normally don't have a Guestbook, but you can display one if you change the Page Layout to Linear instead of Box View for the Home Page. (DEPRECATED: does not work anymore)
  • If you try to add HTML code in a comment at someone else's Guestbook that isn't your contact, the HTML will be removed. Of course, the same happens in your Guestbook for people that aren't in your contact list. (DEPRECATED: does not work this way anymore, if you don't want HTML in your Guestbook, disable it completely as explained above)



Blog EntryInbox (previously Message Board) 101Nov 15, '07 10:30 PM
by Luiz Felipe for everyone

The Inbox (previously called Message Board or My Multiply) works like this (if you've set Sort By to 'Latest Reply' in its Preferences):

- if you visit a post and later a new comment (reply) is added to it, the post will be moved to the top of the list (most recent ones), so you get notified that it has a new reply. It will continue to be this way as long as you visit the post to see the updates.

- if you don't visit the post, then the entry in your Inbox won't 'go up' in the list, and will eventually go away from the the first page. But if you later visit the post, new replies added to it will again move the entry in your Inbox to the top.


Of course, you can enable Show "Subscribe," "Pin," and "Remove" links for each item in the Inbox preferences:

- Subscribe enables/disables email notifications for that post. It's also useful when you enabled the notification when you replied to a
post (i.e. marked the 'Forward replies to your_email' checkbox);
- Pin puts the entry at the top of your Inbox for as long as you want;
- Remove deletes the entry from your Inbox (and further updates to it too, of course). It does not delete the post itself, only the entry in your Inbox.

There are many other options in the preferences so you can configure your Inbox like you want. Try the many views to find the one that you like most.

Also, above the entries, you can see a 'proximity-bar':


so you can choose from 'how distant' in your Network the entries in your Inbox will come from. You can select only posts from your contacts, for example, or enable and disable posts from groups as well. Lastly, you can click on Custom to create a personalized filter to display only selected posts, useful if you want to find a post from a friend, for instance, or retrieve your Personal Messages.

The Inbox is the most important place on Multiply, and it's unique. Take some time to configure it to your needs and it will help you to find the posts you want and also make things much easier and faster to keep updated with new posts. Have fun.


Update1:
After the recent update, the Message Board is now called Inbox, and there is an useful pre-set of custom filters that includes Personal Messages and Subscribed threads.
