Looking at the navigation, should we consider moving the Logout function under the My Account button? It is kind of oldschool to see the logout functionality as a stand alone menu item.
Maybe the My Account button should have "Account Settings" and "Logout" as the drop menu items?
I would really like to see (an option for) a more compact index of posts. The current index layout makes me feel like a) there's not much content on the site and b) I have to look harder to get an idea of what's going on. I feel like I'm forced to read each post instead of just glancing over a "list" of posts.
It is currently sorted by size (large -> small). It feels not like a traditional tag cloud. It feels harder to find what I want than a traditionally styled tag cloud.
I think it should be sorted alphabetically? and center justified?
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 create a new blank post. Then I choose a group (I picked Caché). Next I click int the "Related Topics" field. At this point Firefox stops responding. It happens with FF 45.0.1 on 32-bit Windows and with 46.0.b7 on 64-bit Windows.
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.
Task [DCE-96] - Show views counter for the post [DCE-97] - Clean up My Collaborations and My Content [DCE-108] - Remove Find Menu [DCE-109] - Search page - fix Categories dropdown, remove internal naming [DCE-110] - Add warning to comments, answers and posts when page is dirty and you move off-page [DCE-111] - Developer Synchronization: Copy global-summit-2016 view
Bug [DCE-93] - Post author and date messaging is wrong on Post Detail Page [DCE-112] - Improve Tag Selection - Handle Special Characters
It looks like andreas posting is in triplicate - I am sure the bureaucrats are very happy - on the homepage
Not sure why...? Is there really 3 unique posts IDs that are the same or is there a bug in the hoempage display logic that is repeating the items listed?
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:
Groups are renamed "Forums". They are segregated and have their own sets of tags. If I'm viewing "Ensemble" and I click "Create a Post", it is posted in that forum. I must tag the post with one or more tags from that forum, "Business Service", "Production", "DTD", etc. Tags can be assigned to multiple forums. I am never prompted to choose a "group"/forum. It's based on the context I was viewing.
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.
