Can you believe it's already been three weeks since we launched our new community platform? I've been working on this project for about six months, with most of the UI work done in the last six to eight weeks before the launch. One of the things we value most about our new platform is the opportunity to evolve and improve the Community experience continuously.
We’ll be updating you regularly on the changes happening in our community, aiming for updates every couple of weeks. Your feedback is crucial; if you have ideas on how to improve the community, head to our Community Suggestions space.
Now, onto our first update: We've made ten patches since launch, addressing bugs , and implementing improvements. Let's dive into some of the highlights.
Community Update 1.9.01
"Can You Help?": Unanswered questions
Due to popular demand, we've added a new widget to display unanswered questions on both the home page and forum pages. This feature restores the ability to find questions that haven’t yet been answered across the Community.
The widget appears on the right-hand side with the five newest unanswered posts by default. Clicking the “View All” button takes you to a page which lists all unanswered questions. This page is scoped to the forum that you're viewing. If you click from the home page, then you’ll see all unanswered questions across the Community.
Other Improvements
In this update, we’ve introduced a couple of other improvements:
- Enhanced the visibility of the “Associated Products” field when creating a new post. Including the product that you’re posting about in our Product Support forum is the best way to get the right answer. We’ve now made this field more visible and included a hint on how to use it.
- Linked the labels in our blog articles to the corresponding labelled section on the blog homepage. Now, with just a single click, you can quickly see a list of similar blogs.
Bug Fixes
We’ve also addressed the following bug fixes in this update:
- Corrected the scope of featured blogs on the blog page carousel.
- Resolved a display issue affecting the shape of profile pictures in certain sections.
- Fixed several issues with the display of blog articles on smaller screens.
- Resolved an issue where the dropdown menu was being cut off by the footer on some pages. We’re planning further improvements to the dropdown menu in a future release.
