Article John Murray · May 4, 2017 1m read Suggestion to encourage better placed comments about questions and answers It's good to see growing participation in DC. However, sometimes I think that responses posted as Answers to Questions would be better classified as Comments. For example, the respondent could be seeking clarification about the original question (e.g. "What Caché version are you using?"), or perhaps following up someone else's answer or comment. #DC Feedback 0 1 0 300

Question John Murray · Apr 27, 2017 How to access submenu items using mobile UI Using Chrome on my Android mobile I can't seem to get to a specific submenu option.

The second-level menu appears briefly, but doesn't give me time to tap the entry I want ("FEEDBACK") before it decides to take me to the page headed "Connect with Members".Am I missing a trick, or is this a bug? #DC Feedback 0 2 0 415
