@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.

I just recently got a mail regarding the latest and greatest.

I find the mail impossible to read or make any sense of.

At the bottom it says to manage my subscription.

I clicked on the link and it took me to a page that says I am denied.

All the time I am still logged in.

Then, can you tell me how do I manage my subscriptions and stop those impossible emails?

I sure wish we were back to the Google Group, I understood that.

June 30th DC release

Hi, Community!

I'm pleased to announce the new Developer Community release today. Meet the changes!

New voting system

Now you can vote for the post or comment with like or dislike buttons to change the post/comment rating.

Previous ratings converted to the new rating with the following rule:

4,5 stars = +1

1,2,3 stars=0.

Improved email notifications

You should receive HTML notifications now on new posts and comments on DC.

Please share your feedback with the recent release.

Hello,

I think it will be very useful to add the following information about community members:

-Full Name (that is the only thing we see today)

-Company

-Title

-[Optional] Areas of interests/expertise

This information should help the community members evaluate the credibility of posts and responses.

Thanks,

Asaf

With this release we've done a few things with subscriptions

1. Exposed personalization settings so you can control how and when you receive the email subscription notifications. See the image below

2. The ability to selectively subscribe to email notification for content by Tag. At the top of the "Browse by Tag" page there is a new link to Subscribe with Email.

In Subscriptions > Overview > I checked Digest Mode, which is defined as:

"Merges your notifications into a single email, sent at the interval you specify. "

Under Preferences I set the Send Interval to be Daily.

I receive a couple dozen emails each day. They all have a subject of "Subscription Digest for..."

Each email only contains a single item, so it doesn't appear to be a "digest."

It clearly is coming more than once a day, so doesn't appear to be following the set Send Interval.

Is this a bug or am I misunderstanding the settings?

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.

[request] a more compact index

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.

Hi, I have been looking through the InterSystems Developer Community for awhile.

Is there any basic help on how all this stuff works?

For example:

How can I tell what posts I have already read?

What is "My Content?"

Under Connect - what is the difference between Members and Communities?

Is Favorite and Unfavorite the only two selections? How does this work?

What are Points and how do they work, the same thing with Quiz, the same thing with votes.

If this is to be a replacement for Googe Groups , you must explain this stuff!

Question
· Jul 7, 2016
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.

Earning points weakness

Actually, every user recieves 1 point for each page (post) view he/she did.

Can we do the limitation for that to count only unique page views after post content changed (new comments added, new attachments, any other stuff). Because now any user can just hold F5 button and recieve 1 point for each page query that may easily break user activity stats, I think.

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.
