I just noticed a new navigation item - "Back" now appears above the "Links side bar when viewing posts.

It is in the wrong font. Also it seems very odd  place  for this navigation item.

It alters the page layout by moving the content down & introducing more whitespace.

See image:

I just clicked on the link "Contribute feedback about this site" and was brought to the feedback group

https://community.intersystems.com/group/developer-community-feedback

However all the issues that have been logged are now  gone.   Were they all fixed?

All that is there  is some year old posts about winning a pass to global summit 2016.  They should not be in this feedback group.

Also the button to "create a new post" is gone from this page.

I wonder if this post will appear in the feedback group?

Are these search filter options supposed  to  be exposed?  They seem like they are some sort of system description that should not be exposed to the general public?

How do we get posts featured/sticky/always on the top of the homepage?

We need the ability to have a couple posts always on the homepage.  Most sites have some sort of Featured/Announcement/Sticky function for important information to be seen by all.

Why can't we have that on this site?

InterSystems Global Summit 2017 registration is now open.

Register today - https://eventsforce.net/globalsummit2017.

The Solution Developers Conference @ Global Summit 2017 will be  Sept 10-13, 2017 in Palm Springs, CA.

You can see more about the hotel and conference rates at:

I clicked on my name to view my profile.  It shows a list of recently read posts.  This list is incorrect.   It seems to be listing all the posts on the homepage as post I have read.  I have not read the majority of these posts. 

Perhaps the recently read logic is broken?  I assume recently read would require me to actually view the posting to consider it read?

Can you correct (or remove) this information in the profiles

Can please update the UI on

https://community.intersystems.com/top-stories

Use pagination rather than the old UI of loading more content as you scroll(chasing the footer)

I posted a question and someone replied with a comment.  
This comment  was marked as an answer, but the comment does not actually answer the question. 

How do I tell the system that the comment is not actually an answer and should not be marked as answered?  

Can the original post author decline an answer?  What is the  answer is incorrect?

Can the community vote on the best answer (like on other popular discussion boards)?  

Why can't I add an attachment to comment?  

I wanted to reply to a post (add a comment) and attach an image to illustrate the point I was making. 

The current tag cloud is very hard to use.

https://community.intersystems.com/tagclouds/chunk/1

It should be sorted alphabetically, not by popularity.  Displaying the cloud alphabetically allows the font sizes to  intermingle and create a more readable tag cloud.

Also center justify the cloud to ensure consistent spacing between letters and words (full justification creates unusual spacing)

the DC analytics menu item should open in an new window since it is a link to another site.

Community->Analytics

Please update the Global Summit group description.

Current/old:
InterSystems Global Summit 2016 is an unparalleled opportunity to meet with your peers and with InterSystems’ executives and experts, discussing the technologies, strategies, and methodologies that lead to success.This group is intened to discuss news and to ask questions about Global Summit  2016 conferences, unconferences, sessions etc.Register now! 

PLease see attached image.  

The layout of the "last comment/answer" on the list of topics has a line break in it creating bad layout. 

Please fix.  This fix will tighten up the  list of topics displayed

When I create a post, it requires I select  Related Topics.  

On the right side there is browse by tag.  

Are Topics  = Tags?

If so can the DC admin please be consistent with the naming convention? Pick one and correct all the instances

please create a related topic(s) for global summit 2017 to support the recent announcement

For the first time, InterSystems Global Summit is being held in September – September 10-13th, 2017.  
And it’s being held at a new venue, the beautiful JW Marriott Desert Palms in Palm Springs, CA.     

Global Summit 2017 will have the Solution Developer Conference, Healthcare Leadership Conference (by invitation only), and Technology Leadership Conference (by invitation only).

Visit www.intersystems.com/summit17 for Summit pricing and hotel information.  

Online registration and agendas will be coming soon.

Looking at the navigation, should we consider moving the Logout function under the My Account button?  It is kind of oldschool to see the logout functionality as  a stand alone menu item.  

Maybe the My Account button should have "Account Settings" and "Logout" as the drop menu items?

Thoughts?

I looked at the tag cloud (It looks more like a solid block since it is fully justified and sorted by size.)

https://community.intersystems.com/tagclouds/chunk/1

It is currently sorted by size (large -> small).  It feels not like a traditional tag cloud.  It feels harder to find what I want than a traditionally styled tag cloud.  

I think it should be sorted alphabetically?  and center justified? 

Most tag clouds I see are sorted alphabetically allowing the font sizes to intermingle and create clarity of terms.(In our cloud, there is no visual indicator between tags, they all seem to run together)

It looks like andreas posting is in triplicate - I am sure the bureaucrats are very happy - on the homepage

Not sure why...?  Is there really 3 unique posts IDs that are the same or is there a bug in the hoempage display logic that is repeating the items listed?

I do not understand the ordering of the topics/tags in the new post interface.

Why are they in this order?  

In anyevent I suggest the standard alphabetical ordering ...any else have thoughts?

Should we have a tag cloud on the homepage in place of  partial list of tag shown in the Browse by Tag? 

or at least a better formatted page than the current tagcloud at:
https://community.intersystems.com/tagclouds/chunk/1

This is a very very hard listing of tags to interact with.  It is one giant block of unformatted text.  

Maybe turn this in to a full page tagcloud?  Or a multi-column bulleted list?  

Once again I choose the online learning topic for this post as no appropriate tag is available.

When I post, I am now required to select a Releated Topic.

However on the homepage I see "Browse By Tag" and can view all tags at https://community.intersystems.com/tagclouds/chunk/1

Shouldn't we use the same naming conventions throughout the Site UI?  Change Related Topic to Tag?

Again, I had to choose online learning for the lack of any appropriate tag.

In the recent march 15 update, there are multiple references to "groups". However in the menus, it still references "Communities" (Connect->Communities)

Shouldn't we update the menus to standardize on the word group(since that seems to be the popular/de facto term)?

Also I was forced to choose a related topic.  There is no  topic like: "misc", "other", "feedback", "site ui", etc. so I choose online learning
