RE: Steemit's Got Issues! - User Friendliness and Site Functionality - Take 1
Toatally agree:
I want everyone to love steemit, but I show it to my friends and theyre like - okaaaay....
It's like facebook - only you cant message anyone, follow your friends, or get notified when people respond to your posts...
It's like twitter - only no one will ever hear or respond to your tweets..
It's like instagram, if instagram was browser based in 1998...
It's like soundcloud - but way slower and without the abity to discover anything or connect to music/artists you enjoy
It's like youtube - well actually DTube is kind of killing it :) Dtube is probably the best thing going for steem right now, and it really might be the youtube killer...
The biggest problem I have this week with steemit: I am typing this post in a small white box that is four lines high with a huge GIF button placed in it.... Seriously - how is this functional at all??? No font options, emoji options, but you give me this huge GIF button?
I have actually never clicked it - le's try
HAHA!! nice man you hit the nail on the head with everything you said.
I can help with one thing for you though.
Please bare in mind that after 6 months on this site i just figured this out about 3 days ago...
the box you are writing in...
In the bottom right corner there are a couple diagonal lines...
if you click and drag on them you can expand the text box.
Oh Wow
So.
Much.
Space!
TY TY TY
Yea, it was a revelation for me too!
It's one of those momenta steemit users cherish forever...lol
I stumbled upon it when I first got started - I never thought to tel people about it. doh!
Woe is me!
I could have saved countless thousands of people the mental anguish of 'the small box!'
haha, yes you could have lol
OMG - I am in love with you now. My life has changed beyond belief with your wonderful words. They could not have made those two little lines and less visible if they tried. TYTYTYTYTYTY
haha! Great to know I'm not the only one that didn't know lol
lol, that was one of the first things i noticed, but then again i used to build websites that had those nice little lines, but I do get your point. I've been on here a little while and am SLOWLY learning the ins and outs.
what I found being the worst at the top of my list was actually just getting an account. my wife had to use 3 different email accounts just to get it right, same with my 2 daughters!
what a freaking pain in the arse! but i can see some of these bots on here have acquired 95 accounts no problem!
Could it be that you use the Steemit More Info extension? They offer the .gif button. But you can deactivate it on the settings page (in your profile).
All my problems are getting solved on the thread! Thank You @fknmayhem
And it just posted my comment instead of giving me a GIF lol total fail
I will stick with giphy for that, thanks...
haha, seems giphy worked better lol
