It looks like the logged in homepage is missing some elements.

- Masthead image with info about Global Summit

- Announcements - I thought items from the announcment group would be on the home page (seems logical important announcments on the homepage?)

There just seems to be some random posts on the home page. What filter put them on my homepage?

It is not newest based on the timedate stamp.

It is not based on groups or tags.

It is not based on the number of comments

Responsive Design broken

Hi! I know that we have a layout for mobile devices, but it's broken on the pages with code snippets and another unfixed width content. Screenshots are attached.

I found that overflow property has 'auto' value, but the width (and max-width) property doesn't set for <pre>. Could you set max-width property for pre and other elements?

For example, these modified styles work fine for me on any screens for <pre> and <img> (with your media queries):

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."

I noticed that some posts are being rated. Why are they stars not reflecting the current rating? It shows a numerical average inder the stars, but the stars are all just outlines. I thought if there was an average rating, that the stars would be colored yellow.

Average post rating = 2.5, show 2.5 stars as yellow

thoughts?

If you are reading any post as a guest (not logged in or a search crawler), please do not show
"SHARE WITH A FRIEND" in the post template. This link only works when you are logged in.

If not you are not logged in and try the link, it results in an unfriendly error:

Access denied

You are not authorized to access this page.

Earning points weakness

Actually, every user recieves 1 point for each page (post) view he/she did.

Can we do the limitation for that to count only unique page views after post content changed (new comments added, new attachments, any other stuff). Because now any user can just hold F5 button and recieve 1 point for each page query that may easily break user activity stats, I think.

I noticed the system displays an age for each post.

Can it display the actual creation timedate stamp instead?

(Maybe this is a display option set on an individual account setting?)

Can we add the timedate stamp of the last edit so it is clear that the post was changed?

Date format

Hi, - Is it possible for users to select their preferred date format ? For example, if you click on Connect > Communities you are shown, for each community, something like: 'Latest Post: 01/14/2016 -'

I'd prefer the date in dd/mm/yyyy format (rather than mm/dd/yyyy).

Whatever the current login cookie expiration is set at is too short. I consistently have to log back seemingly every time I visit, even if I visit daily.

Contrast this with, say, my Gmail login, which lasts for weeks or months at least.

Worse, when I go to a topic but am not logged in and want to comment, logging in takes me to community.intersystems.com, not back to the topic.

Announcements on homepage?

Should items in the announcement group be shown on the homepage?

It would seem if there was an announcement (like the field test or Global Summit) it show up some where on everyones home page.

Chasing the footer

When I am looking at the list of posts in a community (or is it a group? If so what is the difference?)

https://community.intersystems.com/group/developer-community-feedback

There is a footer that is constantly falling off the bottom of the page after I scroll down.

This is due to the load and show more posts when I scroll to the bottom functionality (not the best UX)

Is there anyway to stop the footer from running away all the time?

Generally the site developer/admin decide which editor they will allow based on the content they want to encourage/support. As a user presented with a full WYSIWYG editor I have absolutely no reason to select a more restrictive option. It honestly just adds to the already cluttered post/comment page.

My suggestion is to either remove the option altogether or at the very least make it a preference in the user profile area. It's really a 143 vertical-pixel waste of precious space.

I went to

https://community.intersystems.com/find/group

I noticed there were some very old dates listed.

What are these dates? Is it the date of the latest post? the date the group was created(not useful)?

Why is the community manager (with out a pic) listed above each of the groups (creator of the group )?

Listing the creator of the group and how longago it was created is not useful information. More useful info is the date of the last post.
