#DC Feedback

Hi Developers!

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.

Do you like it?

Share your thoughts, please?

Here are the release notes for the release planned for Friday, March 25th.

Since it took me a while to find the correct place to reply to a specific comment and not the post itself, I thought I'd make this observation an 'improvement request'.

Currently a comment has only the small grey arrow at the bottom, next to the 'favorite' button. The 'favorite' button has color and text which make it way more prominent. The 'reply' button on the other hand is gray and has no text. It's easy to miss.

I suggest adding at least text and perhaps also some color to the 'reply' button to make it stand out more. Even a tooltip would be useful.

I was editing a comment and I hit backspace a few times until there was no text left. Subsequent backspaces will actually be interpreted by the browser as a back command.

Further investigation revealed that hitting backspace on the WYSIWYG editor when there is no contend does remove focus from the element.

I can view my own profile just fine, but if I try to view anyone else's, whether they're my friend or not, there's an HTTP 503 response and the following message shows up:

"Temporarily Unavailable

The website that you're trying to reach is having technical difficulties and is currently unavailable.

We are aware of the issue and are working hard to fix it. Thank you for your patience."

When I create a post, it requires I select Related Topics.

On the right side there is browse by tag.

Are Topics = Tags?

If so can the DC admin please be consistent with the naming convention? Pick one and correct all the instances

My recent Ensemble posting here contains a wink emoji in its first sentence, but when rendered on the DC homepage summary list it shows as the text "wink".

(Note: I thought I had already posted this, but I think it was the other day when you were having hosting issues. Sorry if it is a duplicate)

Lots of comments really screws up the layout.

I know this has been requested before, but it's really annoying, especially in the Developer Community.

Here is my typical workflow:

1. Click "Developer Community" forum

2. Click "Post question".

3. Select "Developer Community" in Group dropdown.

4. Select "Developer Community" in Related Topic dropdown.

Yes, 3 out of 4 steps to post a new question here require me to select the same thing. It's frustrating. Here I go again!

I just noticed a new navigation item - "Back" now appears above the "Links side bar when viewing posts.

It is in the wrong font. Also it seems very odd place for this navigation item.

It alters the page layout by moving the content down & introducing more whitespace.

I'm very proud of the Worldwide Response Center - an excellent group of men and women - and I am interested to hear from you about your experience using the WRC. There are always better ways for us to serve you.

I'm also very excited about the Developer Community which we're bringing to you to give you an opportunity to connect with groups and individuals in the InterSystems community. Let us know what you think and how we can improve it in order to serve you better.

Look at this screenshot from the homepage. The "post" timestamp is the same as the "last comment" one.

It would be nice if there were a permalink displayed for each comment. That way I could bookmark or send a link to a specific comment. I can see links to my own comments in the My Account page, but I don't see any way to get permalinks for other people's comments.
