Hi, Community Members!

The goal why we are posting questions on Developer Community is to get the answer.

Here is very simple guidelines document on how to ask questions which would get answers.

When you post a question you need to feel 3 fields: title, body, and group. And tags.

1. The Title

A good title should contain the brief description of your problem - it should not be longer than 80-90 symbols.

But brief doesn't mean one word. These are not very good titles for questions: Cache, Ensemble, Peace, World.

Examples of good questions:

Querying a list property with SQL

Once it is published, a member would get the email notification that he was mentioned in particular post/comment.

So, that's how I'm mentioning myself here: @evgeny.shvarov.

Hi, Community!

I hope you know the option to use DeepSee analytics portal for Developer Community stats. You can find it in Community-Analytics menu.

Let me introduce the beta of new analytical dashboard 'Articles' Views', which is available in Authors folder.

It consists of two dashboards, first shows the running total of the views for the articles (to see the impressive growing curve).

The second shows the daily additions in unique views (to analyze the dates of spikes).

Use the filters of Author, Article name, Publishing year and year timescale of analysis.

Hi, Community!

There are plenty of questions on Developer Community every day, which is great!

And which is even better - there are plenty of answers! 

A few months ago we introduced a nice feature - 'accepted answer'.

'Accepted answer' is a checkbox on the left of every other answer you see in a question post. So it let's op to mark the particular answer as accepted one. If you do that, this question disappears from unanswered filter.

And, we introduced a special challenge of "Accepted answer" in Global Masters which gives 150 points for every answer which is marked as accepted.

Hi, Community!

We have a new release here!

What has been introduced:

1. Better notifications

With this release I hope you will turn on back the email notifications because every new notification today in the beginning of itself will tell first, why did you get it describing the exact reason you got this particular notification.  And if you don't want this type of notification to be delivered anymore click unsubscribe link in the notification and it will lead to the settings of this very type to alter.

Also, I can indeed recommend digest mode (Use Subscriptions/Overview to turn it on).
