Frequently Asked Questions

Category: Help


I can not type any text in the password fields to login or register, why?

If you have Kaspersky Pure installed you should experience this issue only on Internet Explorer.

Try disabling the "Enable Secure Input Keyboard" under Settings>Secure Data Input

How do I add or embed SBW content on my website? I am a webmaster, I own a website

You will find the embed code to copy/paste on each page's right column, at the end, under "Embed this page"

How can I contact other members on SBW?

There are two main options to contact other members on SBW:

- privately by clicking on the envelope icon at the top of the page and composing a new message or by clicking on 'Send message' from the hover menu popping up on the bottom-right corner users' icons (avatars)

- publicly using the mentions feature explained here (https://socialbusinessworld.org/blog/view/101119/new-feature-on-sbw-mentions)

How do I edit Group properties (picture, logo, description,...)?

Very easy.

Go to Group page and click on 'Edit Group' button to access the tabbed edit section for the group.

How do I edit my profile picture?

Very easy.

Go to your profile page by clicking the profile icon ontop of the main menu and click on 'Edit Avatar' in the left column

My Wire messages do not show on Twitter

If your messages in The Wire are not sent automatically to Twitter it is surely either because you have not configured your account properly (settings->configure your tools) or because sometimes the two systems do not count characters in the same way (odd but still happening, sorry), try to write 138 characters long messages and it should work :)

I can't open my SBW mail inbox, why?

Have you tried clicking on the lower left corner of the messages' icon?

The little black and yellow number indicating unread messages is unclickable in some browsers' versions so please just try to click on the white part of the icon (envelope) :)

Why does the Twitter tool want permission to post tweets from me? Or the other permissions?

As member on SBW you have many options to configure not only our platform but also its behaviour with available external tools.

For example, you may want to configure The Wire (our internal short messaging) to automatically post to your Twitter account, or your profile's widgets to read your tweets, etc.

What is The Wire? How do I use it?

The Wire is our internal short messaging feature. It works inside SBW exactly like Twitter does and can also be configured to automatically send messages to Twitter itself (settings->configure your tools to integrate with Twitter). Characters are limited to a maximum of 140.

Enjoy!

 
Problems with videos: can't share (Error fetching data from remote url. Either wrong url or video not found.)

If you experience problems in sharing videos, probably it is up to the connection type established between ours and 3rd party's server (like YouTube).

In most cases, simply replace https protocol with http and it should be ok.

For example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-9jbXDH81AA

with http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-9jbXDH81AA

Also, be sure the link is not a short version but something very similar to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-9jbXDH81AA

 

How can I improve and increase my network? How can I be easily found by people interested in my skills? How can I find people whose skills I am interested in?

Given and granted that we're not selling personal informations (would we truly be a 'social' business then?), the best, easiest, most recommended way is: fill in the more fields possible in your profile page.

Go to Profile->Edit profile

The more we write about ourselves, the easier will be to be found and find relevant infos.

And,not to forget, you can select who can view your profile information so no issues with Privacy!
