Too easy to lose a post I wrote

Here's the scenario. I write a post, click the Publish button to post it, but overlook the fact that because I didn't add a tag I'm still on the same page. The pink area highlighting what I forgot to fill in is out of sight at the bottom of the page. I carelessly navigate away (e.g. back button, or DC app tabs). There's no warning, and I've lost what I wrote.

How do we get posts featured/sticky/always on the top of the homepage?

We need the ability to have a couple posts always on the homepage. Most sites have some sort of Featured/Announcement/Sticky function for important information to be seen by all.

Why can't we have that on this site?

Vote from index

Sometimes simply reading the subject or summary of a post from the index gives me enough information to vote. Instead of having to click through it would be nice if I could vote from the list of posts.

Communities vs Groups

In the recent march 15 update, there are multiple references to "groups". However in the menus, it still references "Communities" (Connect->Communities)

Shouldn't we update the menus to standardize on the word group(since that seems to be the popular/de facto term)?

Also I was forced to choose a related topic. There is no topic like: "misc", "other", "feedback", "site ui", etc. so I choose online learning

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).

Login mechanism is broken.

When I am looking at a certain article and then decide to comment, but realized I'm not logged in, I hit the login button. However, it then redirects me back to the front page and not back to the article I was looking at. This should be fixed.

I think DC would be a great area to get feedback from current or future users of our technology about what new features they would like to see in our products and let them vote the different proposals. Open discussions/suggestions with no commitment on IS side to be done but sure there would be lot of good ideas to consider by our product managers and development.

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?

Please feel free to point all the criticism to me along with suggestions of course!

Our team is working now on fixing some evident and annoying UI problems to make this place comfortable for all the InterSystems customers and new developers to discuss InterSystems related problems, questions, techology and projects.

Faulty heading on Member page [Fixed]

I used the Members option from the Community button to look up Evgeny's profile. Above the tabs ("View", "Mentions", "Posts (53)" etc) his name was displayed (correct).

Then I clicked on the "Posts (53)" tab. It showed his posts, but displayed my name above the tabs.

When you click on the My Content icon in the navigation bar you see a page with tabs, two of which are "My Content" and the other is "My Collaborations". The formatting of this content is not very good and is inconsistent between the two.

Questions:

1. How many of you are using these pages?

2. What are you using them for?

3. What information do you expect to see here?

4. How can we improve this?

@Mike Kadow and I are both having this issue.

When editing a post and trying to insert a link, I use the Internal link type to link to a different post. I am able to search for the page and get the page name to show up in the dialog box, but then the "ok" button is non-responsive. I can cancel properly. If I change the link type to URL and paste in the full URL of the page, I can click "ok" and it will save the link.

While comment content appears to be sent in subscription emails, new posts do not. E.g.:

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.
