Testing the New Version of beBee

@Javier 🐝 CR 

You probably know .. jest mentioning 

Attempt to edit article  .. “500 error”

@Lada 🏡 Prkic 

Thank you for this post - shared update - shared priorities 

• Restore active groups created in the old version
• Restore the message threads which completely disappeared
• Import all missing images in blog posts
• Restore missing blog posts statistics

I did post on @Javier 🐝 CR  page of progress  .. several other things .. one being “YIKES”

.. one post - totally disappear .. 

it was my most viewed (-19K) & most comments .. as irony would have it 

“The Fractal State of Humanity” .. kind of drives home that brokenness governs people & processes 

.. So hoping it will reappear with all stats

Well said Lada - I add “Amen” (agreement)

Corrective .. “feedback IS essential - honest, objective and specific feedback. And it is not about being critical but being honest for the  benefit of all users on this platform”

Wishing all the engaged & engaging bees .. a rest-full weekend 💛

Good wishes to beBee team in redesigning this very social affinity platform. One thing, in this new version, I rarely see serious spammers around - may be they are finding hard to load their content.

The current flurry of activity by a few, including you and me, Lada, and @Javier 🐝 CR ’s repeated positive responses and explanations of our platform’s evolving status, makes me optimistic that, between us all, we’ll achieve something better. Change is always difficult to manage, and can be a bitter pill to swallow for those of us experiencing it. My gut tells me, however, that we’ll come out of this tunnel with a much better set of blogging tools. I just hope that those bees who appear to have been shocked into silence over the last few days will stay aboard the current beBee Magical Mystery Tour and be able to eventually share in what can only result in benefits  for all of us. 
 

Every gain means a little pain, 

As we all can plainly see, 

In a wee while longer, we’ll all be stronger, 

Let’s support this new beBee. 🤗
 

@John White, MBA please read my comments below

Some new features added on beBee are:

• Your Blog lists all my previous posts year by year
• You can search blogs of others by country
• You can insert photos in your comments and simple emojis.
• You can delete comments that you don't like (trolls, etc) from others in your posts.

@Jim Murray , please read below ;-) thanks for your feedback ;-)

@Renée  🐝 Cormier  FYI, thanks also for your feedback ;-)

I am infinitely grateful for your constructive criticism, thank you very much for letting me know what you are missing. But I update you how everything is going on :-)

1.- Normal searches of the "worldwide" content. It is something pending to put into production.
Notifications to your followers when you write. Pending status.

3.-Mentions in articles to contacts in your network. It is already done.

4.- Images/hives that are not seen. We are having serious problems with the old platform, and that is the reason why there are still images that are not seen. We hope to solve this problem.

5.- Views of the articles. It is also something pending to put in production.

6- Support. You have support@bebee.com, but the important, ideas or important suggestions I prefer that you send them directly to me in private message, or here as a comment.

7.- Login, not having to choose country. It is pending to be put into production

As I told you, the reason for such urgency in changing the platform is because the new one already allows us to make changes in an agile way and we are sure that we will meet your expectations for the future.

I don't think I left anything out, if so, please send it to me in a private message or here as a comment :-)

@Pascal Derrien  @Ken Boddie  Hi Ken!

1.- We are already working so that you don't have to choose your country and you can see everything "worldwide". Theoretically you can mention from an article someone who is in your network ( i.e. someone who follows you and you follow him/her ) , if not please tell me. I have seen that @Lada 🏡 Prkic  has been able to mention me in an article.

2.- The hives and pending images we are trying to migrate with many problems (because the old platform is giving us a lot of headaches), I have already seen that you have created the beBee Coffee Hive https://au.bebee.com/hive/cafe-bebee. We have changed the name to simply groups because unfortunately that is what everyone understands. But for me they are still hives.

Hugs to all and have a nice weekend !

Getting there and like any change there are some issues. I really want this to be a success albeit I find it very difficult to interact at the moment and  feel I am a bit blind. I think I have lost 96% of my groups  & followers. Search by country is not a great idea as default log in, groups search is empty but I noted the support mail. good luck with the fixes :-)

Please feel free to report any bugs, glitches, and other issues to support@bebee.com

Thank you for passing on your concerns, especially Lada @Lada 🏡 Prkic , Jim @Jim Murray and Ken @Ken Boddie . All your concerns will be resolved with a little more time and I am absolutely certain that we will now be improving all the time because we have the capacity to do so and we are hamstrung on the old platform. Hugs to all of you who have been with me here since 2016.
