I guess I haven't had much to say, because today was the first time since the latest upgrade that I've made a Blogless Lepolt post. I've noticed two "problems".
The first is that I don't see a way to add tags to an article. That's not exactly correct. If I select the option, I get a list of the more commonly used tags (and, in the style of the site, font size indicates frequency of use), and I can select from tags on that list. I can also open the Tags section and there is a function there for adding new tags to the list of available tags, and for editing tags on the list. However, I do not see any way to connect a less-commonly used tag to an article or blog post, and I do not see a way to add a tag to an article that does not already exist. For reference, the previous version of the software had a field in which the name of a tag could be entered, and while you were typing it would compare what you were typing to find matches in the existing tags from which you could then select if something already covered what you wanted. This has no such field.
This concerns me because of course I am often adding new tags, and while some of my tags may be of dubious value to most Gaming Outpost readers, there have been and in the future will probably be new tags that represent new subjects/products/interests which ought to be included. As it stands now, I can add such tags to the tag library, but since they would then be tags without any articles, I would not be able to link them to an article--or if I can, I do not yet see how.
The other oddity is that if I have saved a post as a draft and I select preview, it does not give me a preview of the post--it gives me a fresh composition page in which to write another post. It was not so difficult to publish the article and then view it and edit it to get it right, but I would rather have the option to view the unpublished article as it will appear once published before having it listed on the front page for others to read. I've had to make some major fixes on some of my coding in the past, and I can't guarantee that I won't have to do so again in the future.
Thanks.
