It's good to see growing participation in DC. However, sometimes I think that responses posted as Answers to Questions would be better classified as Comments. For example, the respondent could be seeking clarification about the original question (e.g. "What Caché version are you using?"), or perhaps following up someone else's answer or comment.
I'm trying to edit my profile but running into trouble. When I go to the Edit tab, I can see a form for editing appear and then quickly disappear and then the only option I'm left with is this:
If I try to uncheck and save this setting, it appears to save, but when I navigate back it always remains checked.
It's just a short announcement that we introduced a new tag Release which covers all the InterSystems Products releases, any releases of 3rd party systems and DC releases as well - literally any announcements of software releases on DC.
Since yesterday the Google Group has started receiving postings from a user called intersystems.dc. These postings look like they're trying to replicate DC postings, though images don't appear. Nor are there any links leading across to DC, which is where the follow-up comments and answers are likely to appear.
I have posted my first question in "Cache" forum this morning and since then, I started receiving emails whenever a new topic is posted. I don't want to receive such emails and looked for a way to tweak for "email preferences". However, I couldn't find any such option. Can someone please tell me how I can stop emails for all the posts?
There is no obvious way to provide feedback to the development community. In order to find the topic to find open discussions, I had to search for "feedback".
There should be links in standard places; without doing research these place probably include: menu, front page, footer.
On the homepage that we get when we go to https://community.intersystems.com/ there are three views, controlled by a set of buttons in the upper right:
Above is with the default view (the "house", i.e. the "home").
suggestions to try to make the searching of the community better, more relevent
I've been searching within the community for an article about troubleshoting SQL's working out how efficient they are, and how to look inside the system for other SLQ's that we used but may be inefficient, (still haven't found it, and getting frustrated)
I noticed a lot of sites these days support use of Gravatar user profile pictures so your profile picture can follow you around from site to site, could we support this here?
Also there appears to be some HTML bug in the user profile edit page, when I click on the 'edit' tab I see options to edit the profile for a fraction of a second before this closes and I am unable to edit anything.
Here's the screenshot of the sidebar widget "Related conversations":
The question turn-key export of data for XML-enabled class currently has 2 answers, 0 comments for the post and 1 comment for an answer. I think it would be more informative to display one of these metrics in the widget:
In this release we added new functionality that marks postings with either a "new" icon or an "unread" icon depending on when you came to the site last and the age of the postings.
Here are the rules as currently implemented:
- If a user hasn't viewed content which was posted less than 2 weeks ago, then the label "new" is displayed.
- If the user hasn't viewed content which was posted more than 2 weeks ago then the label "unread" is display.
A lot of tools in InterSystems products are designed to help facilitate high availability solutions (Mirroring and ECP come to mind readily). Since a lot of concerns about these technologies are in a similar thread regarding High Availability, I believe it might be worthwhile to create a High Availability Group within the Developer's Community.
What thoughts do people have on the addition of such a group?
After the March 15th DC update I posted one Question (as opposed to Article). I've been used to getting notified by email no more than an hour after someone responds to a post of mine. In the case of my question, I think I only got that email when someone posted a Comment on the question. When I went to read that comment I saw that there were several Answers that had been posted many hours earlier.
Recently we updated the look and feel of articles on DC:
The font is bigger, with no ads on aside.
Articles look like that now:
The intent was to make reading process for articles more focused cause sometimes we want to share a deeper thought with article and this needs more concentration and less distraction.
