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.

From time to time someone adds the "Developer Community" tag to a post that's actually about something else. I wonder if by renaming the tag to "Developer Community Feedback" this wouldn't happen so much. After all, the group is called "Developer Community Feedback". If folk feel the proposed new name for the tag is too long, how about "DC Feedback"?

I don't feel strongly enough about it to hate it, but I prefer the typical auto-complete, free-form tagging system seen on most sites (see StackOverflow for the perfect example). The nested dropdowns are just too cumbersome in my opinion.

A few other people (one person who pointed it out, then everyone else I asked to confirm) noted that https://community.intersystems.com/myuserpoints shows "Points for Timothy Leavitt" in the browser/tab title. The page itself shows these users' actual names rather than mine.

This makes me worry that other parts of the site could confuse users' identities too.

https://www.google.com/

does not automatically parse to a link.

Can we get Youtube-like layout for the video pages? Actually, sidebar takes much enough space in a page with limited width to force you always use fullscreen even on wide screens, because video player is too small.

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?

I see this below one of my comments:

1. text without an icon
2. icon without text
3. icon and text

I've already pointed out that I believe the reply icon should be changed, but this would be (mostly) irrelevant if all icons had text. Here is a simple mockup:

If you are reading any post as a guest (not logged in or a search crawler), please do not show
"SHARE WITH A FRIEND" in the post template. This link only works when you are logged in.

If not you are not logged in and try the link, it results in an unfriendly error:

Access denied

can I suggest a tweak to the functionality when browsing the list of articals,

when you click on a new page number / next page, the content change, but the position within the page remains at the bottom. It would make much more sense to display the next page of articles, and immediately jump back to the top of the page to continue reading.

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!

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.
