Only designed to show the most recent ones and up to a max number. We could look at increasing the number of enabling paging on them.

thanks for your feedback.

Is there a way to see more of these … am I missing something?

@Robert: Here’s a follow up to your questions:

#1 – Maintaining scroll position on a page post back was working in IE and FF. Not in Chrome or Safari. We’ve fixed it so at least for those 4 browsers it should remember your scroll position.

#2 – Could be simpler. For now, click the tab button, then enter.

#3 – Page has been rearranged for clarity.

#4 – Added unlink capability. Copy/Paste of Links, Bold, etc (any features that are already included as buttons) can be used. It wont allow scripts.

#5 – Rearranged and make more clear and some simple explanations included.

We’ll address them and reply to this post with an update.

~~~
On clicking the “Edit topic”, Add a related story” or “Add a duplicate story” buttons the page refreshes, meaning you have to scroll down again before you can see the input field. This is confusing the first time, and annoying thereafter.
~~~
It would be nice if you could add a new topic by using the enter key rather than having to click on the ‘Add’ button. In Opera hitting the enter key at this point actually triggers the ‘Add or change locations’ link which automatically gets focus when the page loads.
~~~
There are some other layout issues when adding a new story or using the text editor in Opera as well. (So I’m using Chrome, but I might check it all out in Firefox at some point.)
~~~
Speaking of the text editor, there doesn’t seem to be a way of un-linking text without deleting it entirely. I notice it will also accept and publish html styling, links etc wrapped around text pasted in from the clipboard – haven’t tried this with a javascript yet….
~~~
When adding a story if you try to add a topic without first having selected a location (the next item) the page returns an error asking you to select a location and does not register the topic. This could be resolved most simply by switching the order of the two, putting the required Locations before the optional Topics.
~~~
Thanks,

Robert U.

Video was filmed a couple of weeks back when locations were chosen in a different way.

Glad you brought that up John. Not only do we we want the cities that make up Greater Auckland to feature prominently, we want to highlight every neighbourhood within those cities.

We’ve chosen a handful of big and small cities from around the country to start with, because those are where we have Community Editors( http://locallyinformed.co.nz/community-editors ).

We don’t want to bite off more than we can chew.

Not dead and buried yet. Even when super city comes along us out west want our identity. What about Auckland-Waitakere? This site Great idea- part of real democracy!
