Forum feedback

... first thread in the new forum ... :-)

 

Hi mods,

 

first suggestion:

 

I can 'float boards to the top' - but now I have several 'General' boards in the list?

This is not very useful, is it?

 

Also - what shall I do with the list of 'Solved Posts'?

Why is there a scroll bar inside and more items than in the other sections?

 

Can this be customized by me/in my profile?

Your suggestion is to have more qualification?

It appears when you float things up, you float it up to all containing hierarchies.

Also, there is both personal and forum floats, so don't float it twice.  :-)

 

And you can float up boards and topics.  The former is directly under BROWSE, with a separator.

Re: Forum feedback

Well, under:
Community Home > Operating Systems > HP-UX > General
I have the 'Board Options' - 'Float this board to the Top'.
Now I have it in any level in the 'Browse' window.
So in the Level 'Community Home' - the most upper level - I see it too - but there are also the 'general' items of any other board .... so yes the 'general' items should be more qualified.

Hi,

 

There are a number of aspects that you cans et as a member in your profile ( top right hand side in blue). You can set linear layout settings, topic layout settings, home page settings and more. Might want to check this out.

Hi BGroot,

I've checked this - nothing about the list of 'Solved Posts'.
(and I believe I'm not the first who is annoyed about this 'feature' - as far as i can remember what I read here)

Hi V,

 

I will look into this. Just to make sure I underatand it correctly. Are you annoyed that there is a scoll bar in the solved posts area or that there are more posts in here then in other area?

We are annoyed that there is such of waste of screen real estate.  If we want to look up solved problems, we will do a search, not look at the last N of them.

 

> You can set linear layout settings, topic layout settings, home page settings and more.

 

It might help if there was an explanation of what these all mean.  Does the help go into settings?

Re: Forum feedback

Dennis is right - I'm annoyed that there is the list at all.

Re: Forum feedback

Ok, I understand. Will take a note of this and see what we can do about it.

Re: Forum feedback

I also find that 'solutions' screen distracting & annoying.

It's so similar to the one I want to see (new posts) that I have to focus (really hard) to click on the right spot.
