If you use a mobile device, then this blog site will now look different!

Loading

WordPress uses plug-ins to extend its functionality, and I have added plug-ins for many parts of this site.

However, plug-ins do not always play nicely with each other, so I have decided to switch off AMP, the mobile experience plug-in, to stop it interfering with the SAS Jobs Listing pages. Specifically, you will now be able to apply for SAS jobs on this site without having to “Exit Mobile Page”. AMP has also been impacting some of the topic pages in the Forums, so there is more than enough evidence to deactivate it!

Apologies to those of you who were actually benefitting from AMP, but “Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.” (Spock, The Wrath of Khan, 1982).

I’ve added a tag cloud for all of the forums used by blog members

As part of the development of the VIEWS UK forum infrastructure, I’ve added a tag cloud for all of the forums used by logged-in blog members. This means that clicking a word or phrase in the tag cloud will generate a list of forum topics with that tag. I’ve also added a search form at the end of the page, in case you would like to search a specific forum.

Once you have logged into the blog site, this can either be accessed directly at Forum Tag Cloud page, or through the Menu via Forums, Features and Subscriptions > Forum Tag Cloud. If you have not logged in, then you will be directed to the Join Us page, and you won’t be able to see the item in the Menu! This is because the forums on the blog site can only be accessed by logged-in members.

The SAS course continues to grow, and now has 16 topics in 3 different sections:

  • [A] SAS components – 2 topics
  • Data Steps – 11 topics

The SAS course topics themselves can only be accessed by Programmer level members, but Free members can read the SAS course – Home page and see the individual topic names.
