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.

Question
· Oct 11, 2016
Modify search summary view

Would it be possible to include more lines, and maybe even replace line breaks with a space, to allow you to view the posts that are made more efficiently?

For example, I clicked on Caché and noticed that almost everyone began with "Hi", which ended up not really allowing you to review any of the posts before diving deeper.

I just clicked on the link "Contribute feedback about this site" and was brought to the feedback group

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

However all the issues that have been logged are now gone. Were they all fixed?

All that is there is some year old posts about winning a pass to global summit 2016. They should not be in this feedback group.

Also the button to "create a new post" is gone from this page.

Since we have a way to see 'Unanswered' questions now, there are a couple of things that jumped out at me. Not sure if I am missing how to do these or if they need to be added to the future enhancements list:

1) It looks like a lot of people 'Comment' on a Question rather than providing an Answer. This means that there are many questions listed as unanswered where the answer actually lies in a Comment (but noone has submitted a formal Answer). Is there some way to tag a Comment as the Answer?

"Related conversations" section shows only comments number.

In fact, these topics might also have answers.

For example, on next screenshot there are three topics in Related conversations section (on the right).

All three of them have answers, but they are shown as having 0 comments, thus seem as unanswered.

Typically the thumbsup/thumbsdown icons are grayed out until you vote for one. Then it is either red or green depending on which you selected. I like this behavior. However, on my own posts, the ones I cannot vote for, the indicators are both colored. Since the visual queue has already been established that this indicates a selected vote, I think this should be changed. Perhaps, since we cannot vote on our own posts, completely hide them.

I create the NewBie posts.

And as directed I use the Beginner tags.

However, a lot of people are using the Beginner tags for other posts.

Is there a way for separating the NewBie posts from the other Beginners?

Failing that, can I in someway make the Newbie Index more visible?

I am doing a lot of work on the NewBie Index to make it more useful.

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?

Thoughts?

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.

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?

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?

Suppose I find a post that seems really useful, and that I expect to want to return to in the future. I click on the star to favorite it (giving the author some kudos). But later there's a lot of commenting on it that I don't care about. Can I keep it as a favorite but unsubscribe from updates? Or should I resort to browser bookmarking?

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.
