Hi, Community!

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.
E.g.
This post is a digest of the Developer Community postings in March 2017.

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!
Here are some news on Developer Community enhancements.
In March we fixed a lot of bugs and rearranged the notification system, so I hope you'll be happy with it now.
Enhanced content of the notification
With this new release in every email notification you'll see the reason, why did you get this particular notification and the option to unsubscribe of this types of notifications.
The notification will indicate whether you are subscribed to everything, or to particular group/tag, post or you got the message because you are following some member.
Hi, Community!

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).
Hi Community!

Hi Community!
In this release we turned off the digest mode for all the members (until it would be fixed) and fixed the Update notifications: now this settings can be found in the same place for all the members: Subscriptions/Content types tab.
Meet in this small release the new very valuable feature: marking answers as "true" answers.
If you are an author of the question now you can choose the right answer if there are more than one and mark it with the green checkbox. Like it is shown here:

If there are more than one answer, the "true" one will be shown topmost.

Hi, Community!
Today, the 7th of December is the very good day - today is InterSystems Developer Community birthday!

Hi!
We updated the DC a bit.
Member's answers
With this release, you can see the answers on the member's page too.

E.g. see the answers by Timothy Leavitt.
Post updates don't move the post to top
So we can fix the tags, spelling and make other updates to the post and it would not be moved to top anymore.
Now only new answers and comments move the post to the top of the feed.
RSS and other bug fixes
Now bugs for RSS feeds are fixed.
Also, Votes renamed to Rating and has the color indication now. Green means good!
Stay tuned for the next DC improvements!
Hi, Community!
We put in production the new DC update today. With this update we fixed some bugs, like publishing drafts with proper date and RSS fix and introduced the new look to the member page.
Now member's page consists of Posts, Comments, and Favorites: e.g. this is the page of Alexander Koblov:
With this update you can see all the contributions and interests of your favorite author on DC.
Hope you like it!
Next weeks we prepare some new good updates! Stay tuned!

Hi, Community!
We deployed the new update on DC and it brings:
The new post subscriptions/favorites model:
with every post you now see the star in the left bottom corner of the widget in the feed or of the post.

Click on it and it turns to yellow which means that you store it in your "Favorites" tab which you can find later in your member's page like it is shown in my one.
Also, that means you automatically subscribed to email notifications on all the changes in this post.
Click it again to unfavorite/unsubscribe the article.
Hi, Community!

What is the best way to serialize object/list/array/etc to string?
On June 7th we'll be releasing two new views of content that will allow you to rapidly see what's new on the site as well as identify content that has gone unanswered. The next step for this (after this release) will be to add in personalization so that you can filter content based on your tag and member "following" preferences.
