#DC Feedback

19

DC Feedback relates to discussions on Developer Community UI, UX and performance problems and enhancements.

Introduce DC enhancements.

Discuss DC enhancements.

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.

Hi everyone!

I’m the new InterSystems Community Manager and responsible for everything within the InterSystems Developer Community itself including Community Events, Content and Projects etc.

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.

How was it born? Who runs it? How committed is Intersystems to it? Is it run by a dedicated person/team or is it a part time job?

It's difficult to find community support for Intersystems products. I've had relative success lately on StackOverflow but that's mostly thanks to one person (who is also a member here). The point being, this is a very important asset for us as developers, administrators and users of your product. I hope that fact is not lost on management at Intersystems.

Empty column on hompage

If you look at the homepage as a guest (not logged in), the third column has a header of "Knowledgeable Members", but there is no text. It is an empty column...looks like a mistake/bug/missing data

Can this be fixed or replaced?
