#DC Feedback

Here's something I find a bit awkward. Suppose I'm reading the posts in a group, e.g from https://community.intersystems.com/group/developer-community-feedback

I see an interesting post, so I click into it.

I add a comment to the post.

We can change to this mode of UI in the Create New Post that I think makes the tag usage easier. There's help text under the window in this screen shot and it will contain instructions on the use of tagging, the benefits and also a link to a standing post to request new tags. I think this method of operation will allow us to add many more tags without making them burdensome to navigate.

Thoughts?

Not quite sure how to connect groups to tags in this UI but that might be the next step.

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.

I think there should at the very least be a third option; "discussion".

This latest update was a huge stride in making the community usable. I think you fixed almost all of the major usage gripes I had and it's looking great!

Look at this. I see the same whether using Firefox or Chrome.

In the index of posts it says something like "8 new comments from Scott Beeson (and 3 others)"

The word "new" is a poor choice in this context and implies that there might be comments I have not seen. I suggest removing it.

Or...

Actually implementing unread posts logic, which would be really nice :)

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

Can't add xml documents to posts.

I'm a huge fan of gamification, but so far I can't see any point in earning points. Will there be ranks and badges eventually?

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.

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?

Quick investigation reveals that the contact image with no avatar specified is missing the class img-responsive which breaks the layout.

Actually it looks like it's just a hard-coded width and height?

Hi Team,

Our community is most useful for my learning. I have one concern.We need to add a chat box for discuss and interact with other developer in our community . It is most useful for maintaining the team relationship and sometime we get guidance from anyone on directly. I known already we have the chat box in global master(that chatbox just we send greetingsrelated messages only). This same one is need for our community also(All are reading articals and question on our community page).So I am asking chat box on our community page also.
