Topic: Feature Requests / Status Updates Are Useless

The status updates in basecamp are great. In Backpack, it’s impossible to tell what someone has done. Too much stuff, too unordered, too useless.

Topic: Feature Requests / Tagging Messages

I’d like to be able to tag messages so as to be able to organize them better. People in my office are complaining that the backpack is becoming too overwhelming. They are wanting to use a standard forum software package instead. I think tags would help bring it all together better – and also allow us to correlate pages to messages.

Topic: Troubleshooting and Bug Reports / RSS feeds - only telling me MY updates

Me too – only seeing My updates in the Newsroom (haven’t checked the feed.). would like to see updates by everyone in my group in the Newsroom.

Topic: Feature Requests / Activity summary is better in basecamp

I like the activity summary in basecamp better b/c it allows me to very quickly scan everything that is new… rather than having to read through the icons at the top of the newsroom and then down below… it’s harder to tell what’s new.

Topic: Troubleshooting and Bug Reports / A couple of issues since last nights update

I’m getting the “getting started” page each time i log in, even after removing it.

Topic: Writeboard / Writeboard updates don't show up in Newsroom

Yes, that has been an annoyance for me too… when using basecamp. Whenever I update a writeboard, i have to send a message out to everyone telling them that there’s been an update (or hope that they see it on the overview page, which is not likely)

Topic: Troubleshooting and Bug Reports / visual bug: icons for messages

on the newsroom page, in FF, the icons representing new messages often pop down below the “text” graphic. it fixes on refresh.

i put up a screenshot here:

Topic: Troubleshooting and Bug Reports / Links in messages are too long

In messages, the links extend past the right column and into the “Pages” listing. Is there anyway to either make a link using the “mylink”: http://... format, or to ensure that it doesn’t mess up the UI? Seems only to happen on Firefox

Topic: Writeboard / Writeboard updates don't show up in Newsroom

Hi – is it by design (or user error) that my writeboard updates do not show up in the newsroom. (ie: in basecamp, when someone edits a writeboard, this activity is showed on the status page. i’m wondering why it’s not the same in backpack?)

Topic: Troubleshooting and Bug Reports / Large Images

Hi – i’m wondering how to post large size images on a page? Such as in the example pages – where instead of the small gallery thumbnail, there are actual full size images?

thanks,
