We already have the beta version of beBee

thank you very much for the buzz @Javier 🐝 CR ! gleefully shared.

As long as beBee remains true to its principles, I personally don't mind things breaking from time to time. It shows that it's evolving! :-)

Hello dear "Keeper of Bees"

Dear Bee-keeper .. 

I hope all is well in your corner of the world

Disponível em breve ! Saudações 

Amigo Javier, como vai? Não existe mais métrica de postagens beBee? Antes existia. Abraços!

@Javier 🐝 CR 

Hello Javier .. I shared a couple of my posts on LI - with someone (from India) he wanted to join beBee - but was not able to - he said: 

“If I write India or my city it's will not take”

@Javier 🐝 CR 

Sometimes I feel like the dripping faucet ;~)😂

Was trying to comment .. but I'm getting this feedback in red at the bottom of the comment (below the comment box)

.. tried numerous times .. 

.. not sure what the “wrong mention" is ??

“You have a wrong mention in your comment Debasish Majumder”

🍯 @Javier 🐝 CR 

Thank you dear "keeper-of-bees" 

@Javier 🐝 CR 

I’m trying put up a post .. for some reason .. a large portion of the content is showing with 

very LARGE font         

.. I tried changing to different font’s before clipping & pasting tp beBee  - but the problem persists

2) 

I did just successfully post a completely different post 

https://us.bebee.com/producer/letting-go-can-help-you-ZLmlZA7kZB68

But I’m having problems with the other .. 

3)

Thanks to the beBee Team – now able to edit comments                                                       

4)

When editing the title disappears - 

Not a problem - in that the title is easy to put back .. 

Just mentioning it 

@Javier 🐝 CR 

I wanted to mention that I also tried editing another post 

The Pearl-holder & the Field of Bees 

https://us.bebee.com/producer/the-pearl-holder-and-the-field-of-bees

this time .. when clicking “Save” .. the blue button in the upper right hand corner just keeps spinning - indicating action not completed 

2)

In prior editing attempt it seems to put the “Home” page at the top of the post (with a bar at right of bee image - to scroll down on that image) 

.. if that helps with troubleshooting ?

3)

Also FYI

.. when trying to pull up this site .. I got 

502 Bad Gateway 

But after repeated try the "we already have beta - did present 

@Javier 🐝 CR 

Hello Javier .. I hope this finds you well 

I was trying to edit a post to correct the video 

Which I notice .. no longer displayed

I'm repeatedly getting a “404 error"

https://us.bebee.com/producer/regrets-and-unopened-doors

Multiplied THANKS ..  to the beBee Team for their sweet help🍯

@Javier 🐝 CR 

Thanks Javier .. added thought

The ability to ADD comments .. when sharing a post can enhance the post of another (well that is always my objective) 

.. to potentially draw more people to a post .. 

@Javier 🐝 CR 

I forgot to mention/ask about 

The ability to ADD comments .. when sharing a post

@Javier 🐝 CR 

Will the ability to like a comment be added?

This bee is still trying to get the tears out of her eyes  .. over the loss of post views (and followers)

I LOVE bebee !!!

@Javier 🐝 CR 

Javier - I know it is not for lack of trying 

Are there any emoji for a bee CRYING? 🐝

@Javier 🐝 CR 

I don't want to be a bee that is like a leaky faucet 

But ask again with hopefulness of the dear "Bee Team"

In the spirit of bee-fellowship was wondering if post stats .. VIEWS stats will be restored?

I saw your earlier response below:

.. we are trying to restore everything but I can't promise. Old platform gave us too many headaches .. 

Again:

If the answer is “NO” ..  then I understand 

And the question is do bees cry honey? 🍯

@Mirian Pozo 

and @Javier 🐝 CR 

Multiplied thanks .. I did and all is good 🍯

If any care to see .. I forgot how stirring & true this is ..

A path of principle that leads to CHARACTER .. from Scent of a Woman “I'll show you out of order”

https://us.bebee.com/producer/the-compass-of-destiny-ROQERBI0B70O

Thanks for all you do for the hive

@Javier 🐝 CR 

@Alberto Landeras 

Are we still able to add a video into a post? 

I just tried 

All that I see in the post is the link

.. not the video ..

Am I doing something wrong?

Before when we put in the link - the video presented when published.

where I just tried to add a video:

https://us.bebee.com/producer/the-compass-of-destiny-ROQERBI0B70O

@Javier 🐝 CR 

@Alberto Landeras 

I think I solved the repeating link issue

I'm a bit technology challenged but noticed at the end of each (repeated) link "> 

When I edited the original link to remove ">

they did NOT repeat 

YEAH !! for the bee called “me”

example: 

">https://spillwords.com/author/faymarmalich-vietmeier/">https://spillwords.com/author/faymarmalich-vietmeier/">https://spillwords.com/author/faymarmalich-vietmeier/"">https://spillwords.com/author/faymarmalich-vietmeier/"

I just shared a post by @Ken Boddie and see the same "> 

and the link repeated 

(can't edit comment) 

2)

Not sure why some comment repeat (this seems to involve using emoji?) 

.. if I happen to hit emoji twice - I noticed 

the comment was duplicated 

@Javier 🐝 CR

Thank Javier for bringing to the attention of beBee Team - the repeating links issue.

2)

I wanted to share the message of encouragement – you posted 

https://es.bebee.com/producer/give-without-expecting-anything-in-return

by Preston Vander Ven 

Question:

When sharing a post in beBee – are we no longer able to add a message with the share  of a post? 

This was my message:

“Giving without expecting anything in return is one of the most organic and fruitful actions we as humans can do for one another.” - Preston Vander Ven 

..“do for one another” .. did catch my eye 

Reminded me of another concept known as the “Golden rule” .. an ethic of reciprocity

“So, in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you”

If you want someone to comment, share, or like your posts  .. Then DO what you would like to be done for you. 

Getting nothing ..  is disheartening .. even to the best of bees

.. nothing in the way of comments .. “LIKES” (“relevant”) or shares 

Disheartened bees produce no honey

.. if no one seems to care .. or see

.. posts appreciated only by thin air 

.. “Hello” is anyone there?

@Javier 🐝 CR 

@Alberto Landeras 

Hello "Bee Team"

1)

In the spirit of bee-fellowship I want to ask if having VIEW stats restored is going to be possible?

I saw your earlier response below:

.. we are trying to restore everything but I can't promise. Old platform gave us too many headaches .. 

If the answer is “NO” ..  then I understand 

Then the question is do bees cry honey?

2)

Wanted to let you know the issue of link repeating is still happening 

.. in this recent post - there is one link that is OK

.. all the links at the end of the post repeat (I tried to edit out a couple times - but still the problem repeats) 

And

The Post presented twice (weird) so I deleted one

"The Fellowship of Friendship"

https://us.bebee.com/producer/fellowship-of-friendship-WvCG78oWDU3S

@Javier 🐝 CR 

1)

Thank you Javier - I'm sure the Bee Team is doing their sweet-best

SO hoping for stats on posts to be restored .. I know I'm not alone .. especially:

.. followers

.. views

I'm hoping to publish a book soon - One Publisher in particular - looked at my Blog and noted followers & views 

2)

I noticed when trying to share my recent post per Group - these 2 Groups are returning a “500 Error”

.. Cafe beBee

.. beBee Bugs 

3)

“troubleshooting”?

When including links in a post for “reference” for example .. or to share another post within a post

.. in some instances the links seem to repeat themselves .. once published (perhaps 1 time - or several times) 

I've gone in and edited to correct but in my last post once I edit & save 

(2) of (many links) in the post continues to appear in duplicate ( repeated) 

Here is the post:

https://us.bebee.com/producer/a-dream-picture-of-oneself-fpaVadCs44Ts

In this post this is how the repeated links appears:

Hope the Bee Team understands what I have explained 🍯

@Javier 🐝 CR 

Was wondering if the sharing of posts at the time of PUBLISHING will continue to be LIMITED just one Group

and-or just followers?

2)

Was curious if stats on old posts will be able to be RESTORED? Any update? (I've been periodically checking here)

3)

Sharing .. with bees (though many many know already) 

I noticed on some posts - images altered & videos' erased 

The good news is that they can be edited - corrected 

A matter of time & attention 

Just a matter of going through each post 

Reported by @Fay Vietmeier 

 I posted yesterday “The Compass of Destiny” .. was having trouble erasing content (weird) - with patience - the post is up. 

In recent days have had some new follows - tried to tag them in the post but none of the names would come up after @ - on the post .. if you hover cursor over name - no link appears on the name - meaning if you clicked on the name it would go to their profile - so not really tagged (names are)

@pina rossi

@lina chan

@sarah cohen

@jatin vaghela

@bob turnbul

@rebecca stewart

@amed raza

@angela griffith

@alberto landeras

Reported by @Renée  🐝 Cormier 

I noticed that after I click relevant on a few posts, I can't continue to click relevant and have it register. The same happens when I want to follow people. I can follow a few and then no more until I go to a person's profile directly and click to follow their followers. 

@Nick Mlatchkov , Please find the answers below:

1.- it seems I'm not able to clear the Notification history since u introduced the new version. when do u think u'd be able to fix that?    => let me check how it is working right now CC @Alberto Landeras 

2.- I'm not able to post any comments. => this bug is solved.

3. My articles couldn't get saved. => Can you please explain what is exactly happening ? Can you please attach any screenshot ?
 

4. I can't post new articles. => aren't you still able to do it ?

4. My drafts appear all empty. => Drafts are new articles ( still not published ). Or are you expecting to see all your old articles in draft section ? 
 

The only smoothly functioning areas are Home & my old articles. => thanks 
 

Nick

@Ken Boddie   @Lada 🏡 Prkic  It is already solved. Sorry for the inconvenience!

@Ken Boddie  @Lada 🏡 Prkic ,  as I said it is a bug that we have in short posts that the Submit button is disabled. It will be 100% solved during the next hours, which does not happen with the articles.

 I just tried replying to a message about you coming to Canada, but noticed the Send button was disabled.  > @Kevin Pashuk => Hi Kevin, as I said it is a bug that we have in short posts that the Submit button is disabled. Tomorrow will be 100% solved this problem, which does not happen with the articles.

Javier .. I hope the Bee Team is making good progress. I posted yesterday “The Compass of Destiny” .. was having trouble erasing content (weird) - with patience - the post is up. 

In recent days have had some new follows - tried to tag them in the post but none of the names would come up after @ - on the post .. if you hover cursor over name - no link appears on the name - meaning if you clicked on the name it would go to their profile - so not really tagged (names are)

@rebecca stewart

@amed raza

@angela griffith

@alberto landeras 

=> @Fay Vietmeier  , you should be able to tag someone who is in your network of contacts, i.e. someone who follows you and at the same time you follow. If not, please write it here.

Hey Javi! If posts are limited to 280 characters, there should be a counter. Don't you think? @Renée  🐝 Cormier  => yes !!!! 

Are we ever going to be able to see any analytics on an article again? @Joyce 🐝 Bowen   Brand Ambassador @ beBee   => Of course, it is in our plans.

@Javier 🐝 CR  Are we going to eventually be able to edit our posts as opposed to just deleting them when we want to fix one thing?  => @Jim Murray  Of course, it will be so.

The submit button on short comments does not work. Sorry for the inconvenience, we hope it will be solved tomorrow Tuesday. We are working on fixing some other bugs and uploading new functionality. I confirm that there will be the possibility to edit short posts and edit comments. @Jim Murray @Renée  🐝 Cormier 

Now you can search globally!! 😍😍😍🚀🚀🚀🚀

Dear Javier         

Thanks so much for the update 

I was looking to share this post today to share: 

https://www.bebee.com/producer/@fay-vietmeier-pennsylvania/the-fractal-state-of-humanity-the-hidden-forces-at-work-for-you-against-you

.. it is totally absent from my Blog .. YIKES !!!

It was (to date) my most viewed post (about 19K) 

Can it be restored to my Blog?

 2)

Also 

When I Google beBee @ my name .. 

 beBee.com@FayVietmeier

A list of posts come up .. but NOT the main Blog site .. will this be resolved?

Very often we may know a person’s name & platform - nothing else (NOT country or state – if USA)

I'm seeing:

us.beBee

ca.bee 

When we get through this process with we be able to search beBee.com @name of bee?           

(this is how I tell people to find me beBee + @name)

As in:     beBee.com@FayVietmeier

3) 

Also: Multiplied Thanks .. this is of HIGH importance .. for noting:  

“Views of the articles. It is also something pending to put in production”

From this bee to thee 

Hugs back to you and wishing you and the Bee Team a sweet & rest-full weekend 

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.

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. 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.

So, again:

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 ) , but we are checking it again !

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 @Ken Boddie  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 !

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

thanks @Fay Vietmeier  for your feedback ! we still need to do some work !! :-)

@Javier 🐝 CR 

I hope I'm not giving too much feedback

I liked the way the Discover - Home page displayed before 

.. Two columns so you can see more posts

.. could tell if a post was being shared & be who 

The same for our Blog main page 

.. I LOVED the way posts displayed - double column (more visible)

@Javier 🐝 CR 

This “queen” bee .. says “multiped thanks” you for the crown ;~) Javier & beBee Team 

I recognize that I am only one of many “queens” 

@Javier 🐝 CR and Team

(continued)

1)

The existing Groups?

2)

All existing message threads are gone? (low priority)

https://es.bebee.com/messages

3)

My network .. I see only 129 followers & 183 following  (I had hundreds more) .. will this correct? HIGH priority

https://us.bebee.com/bees?search_contacts=1&search=1

I had hundreds of people in my network  

.. those who follow me             

.. those who I follow

Out of curiosity can network be alphabetized to make search easier?

When going to page 2 of contacts 

https://us.bebee.com/bees?search_contacts=1&page=2

“500 server error”  displays 

4)

All the view numbers are gone?        (this is a very relevant number – to me)          HIGH priority 

I see your assurance here:

https://id.bebee.com/post/4Xc9x609a521531d32

“we will reincorporate the views of the articles as soon as we can” ( as Jim has suggested us )                                  ..                                                         special thanks to @Jim Murray 

5)

All the “relevant” numbers are gone?

6)

Countries & followers in different countries .. 

For example India  – it reflects “2”

https://in.bebee.com/bees?search_followers=1&search=1

when I click for example India 

.. but 18 display 

7)

I’ve had several bees reach out to me in the last month (approx.)

To say they could not post .. because they had not established a reputation (or something to that effect)

Will new bees be able to immediately post?

8)

I consider these as dangling details:

a)

Is it possible to CENTER all text on a post?

I like to do this for example with a poem

b)

Is it possible to use different colors & font styles?

When I create from a Word doc – using these features  – but when creating the post 

.. it appears always all 1 font – 1 color (black) 

.. And aligns LEFT

Perhaps I’m just technology challenged?

@Javier 🐝 CR 

Dear Javier

Before I forget .. its nice to know you too, are a tactile bee .. thanks for the “hug” ..  @Lada 🏡 Prkic is too

I personally found beBee to already be a “comfortable place to write and refer traffic to other places” (especially sharing – though I see now includes WhatsApp) 

.. Here’s what I’m seeing .. questions & concerns about changes .. 

I have shared many posts from beBee to LI

Examples:

https://www.bebee.com/producer/@fay-vietmeier-pennsylvania/wrinkles-of-wisdom-keys

https://www.bebee.com/producer/@fay-vietmeier-pennsylvania/pits-prisons-palaces-promises-to-lay-hold-of

When I click on my these beBee posts from LI .. It takes me to countries page

I see Jim expressed similar      https://ca.bebee.com/post/F0c0W609a9ad84b546

Also 

on my FACEBOOK – every beBee post is GONE? 

https://www.facebook.com/fayemv/

.. the title appears 

.. but NO images 

.. and if I click on the post – it takes me to beBee main page with countries

However:

I just reposted this one and it does appear again on Facebook – and when I click on the post it goes to my beBee Blog

https://us.bebee.com/producer/wrinkles-of-wisdom-keys?fbclid=IwAR1JX9JBiJOwdECHGYVjQSpm0C9j3FsmeFEjQdsHK1OgDs9btZr4PVYVIsg

Whereas the (same) post that was already there .. goes to the beBee page showing countries 

https://www.bebee.com/producer/@fay-vietmeier-pennsylvania/wrinkles-of-wisdom-keys?fbclid=IwAR1_wVVIJVtxnmV6u0rK8n7kG5d2EkE2SvfmAUpGVygJ_YIX4o4Nnze__dM

(part 1)

Besides the appearance and functionality - which we will be improving and fixing in the coming days - the really important thing about the new beBee is that it is now technically scalable and maintainable, making it possible for us to make improvements every day from now on. 😍

don't worry, we still have some work to do to solve the bugs like the infinite scroll in your feed and in your blog. it will be solved in the next hours !

One more thing also.

I had more than 600 followers and follow almost 500 people.

Now it says 145 followers and 98 following.

When I click Following, I see only 20 people in total. But when I open the US following, it shows 30 people, not 11 as seen on the attached screenshot.

Good morning, @Javier 🐝 CR. I would like to ask some questions,

1. Do we see ALL the features of the new version or only a few since this is the Beta version?
2. Will I be able to edit my feed and see what ALL the people I follow have posted? 
3. I see only a few posts and can't scroll my feed further.
4. What happened with existing groups? There's no one.
5. Will we have the login button to enter the site?
6. I agree with all Miguel Orellana said. Why his previous comments were deleted?

I have many more questions, but these are for starters. 

How do I delete posts from my feed/wall that I am not interested in?

Javier, what happened with my home page? I see only my own posts. 

How to enter the beBee site as we used before? When I select my country, only my posts are on the wall.

@Javier 🐝 CR , so far it looks pretty good, I reviewed the site with my CTO and 6 programmers here in Savannah, Georgia USA.  Right now my private business network has 15 million worldwide active contacts too. Georgia is booming here, 5 new software companies are coming here too.  https://es.bebee.com/producer/we-already-have-the-beta-sCz4EqiwJlZV 

I like the following, Javier:

• ‘My Blog’ lists all my previous posts year by year. 😃
• I can search blogs of others by country. 😀
• I can insert photos in my comments and simple emojis.😀
• I can delete comments that I don't like (trolls, etc) from others in my posts. 😀

I note, however, that my ‘home page’ only has my own posts on it and not any posts from others.  🤨 

Is this perhaps only on this beta version and will the final version have my homepage as per normal? 

Esperando disfrutar/probar los cambios!!! 😉 

it looks very good! This is going to be a hit for sure!!!😁
