About

I am unable to change profile/username name can someone help me out 

Currently a link to the top of a thread will give exactly the same preview as a link to a specific reply within that thread; eg, see here: I think it would be helpful if the preview made some distinction ?

This forum allows users to ‘like’ their own posts - that’s just silly! (I have ‘liked’ this one purely for the purpose of demonstration)

 The link is:https://community.st.com/stm32-mcus-products-25/what-is-the-best-way-to-generate-morse-code-signals-on-an-stm32-167580?tid=167580&postid=747388#post747388But that page is not found: Search does not find that thread. Maybe the thread has been deleted? If so, that should be notified. Or the notification removed.The new forum doesn’t seem to allow searching for usernames PS:Separate thread on the lack of username search: 

I'm trying to change my account password (https://www.st.com/content/my_st_com/en/my-space/manage-my-account/Change_Password.html#), but I can't. I've made sure the new password meets the requirements, but when I click the button to change it, the box showing the requirements turns red, and the change isn't processed.What could be happening?Thanks.

It would be nice if the new forum provided Dark Mode.  The new one somehow even prevents Dark Reader (under Safari) from working correctly.  Dark Reader worked fine on the old forum platform, so imagine my surprise…   😳

How can I edit my post after submitting? There's no edit option anymore?

If I reply to a post, and then the user edits the post I replied to, there’s no indication of this on the forum. This leads to confusion. For example, my reply on this post doesn’t make sense in context anymore because the user edited the post. The old forum had this.It really feels like the new forum is missing a ton of basic functionality features. Oh we still can’t resize images in posts. Old forum had that ability as well. What did we gain by changing again?

I noticed a problem in one of my recent posts and wanted to correct the wording but suddenly I couldn’t edit the post.  Is there some silly editing time limit applied to posts?

Related but different topic:  I got a notification of a new post, but clicking on it didn’t bring me to the last post. I scrolled down to find the post and did not see it. I did ctrl+f to find the post by username and got the reply. It was very high in the thread. My beef is they are not chronological. But it’s also an issue that clicking on the notification did not take me to the post initially. I can’t reproduce that anymore.

Just now:Notifications of 2 different posts marked as ‘Best Answer’ for the same question at, essentially, the same time. Also had similar earlier this morning:This time five ‘Best’ answers! What’s going on?! ​@nbsown and ​@Rafo were you, perhaps, trying to mark multiple post all as ‘Best Answer’ ?Or did you just change your minds ?

Hello everyone, I’d like to report two issues I’m experiencing with the forum:When I go to my profile, under ‘Topics’, and open any topic, I get this error page. However, if I open that thread from the notification panel , then it does open it for me. I’ve compared the two URLs and the endings are different. 2) In a thread (the only one) that opens, when I click on ‘show previous replies’, the replies don’t load – nothing happens. I’ve tried several devices and several browsers   

   But C0 does have the option to configure pull-up/down in STANDBY: Note also that it references the wrong RM:  When asking the question more generally, Sidekick does note the pull-up/down option for other families - but does not include C0: 

https://www.st.com/en/partner-products-and-services/sht40-ad1b.html There seems to be a pile-up of multiple copy-paste errors there!

The old forum used to save drafts of replies.So, when this happened: You could try again - and not lose everything you typed.This worked whether it was a forum error, a network error, user error (closing the page before hitting ‘Send’) or whatever. We really need this feature back - I have just lost two posts!

On the old forum, we had ‘Mark As Solution’This is good: people come to the forum looking for solutions - so it is important to mark when a solution is found. The current forum calls this ‘Best Answer’ instead.This is bad: the best answer  does not necessarily solve the problem! It is misleading and does confuse new members - see: 

So I’ve had three notifications that a ‘Best Answer’ has been selected on this thread - two of them were my answer - but it currently has NO ‘Best’ answer! If a Notification is seen as necessary when a ‘Best Answer’ has been marked, shouldn’t one also be provided if it gets unmarked - especially when it is one’s own answer?! PS:The reason for the multiple Notifications (and, presumably, for the mark to have disappeared at the time of the screenshot) is given here: 

If a topic gets 5 new replies in quick succession I get 5 separate emails.I would like to either:receive 1 email with all 5 notifications. Of course this means there is an additional delay to save up notifications. But if it is an option I don’t mind the waiting time. Or a general email notifying me I have unspecified unread notifications that haven’t been read in x time. Additionally I get multiple notifications if there is an accepted answer. Which is a separate issue, but related as it adds to the number of emails I receive from ST. 

We’ve already noted the pointless notifications on a user’s own actions:https://community.st.com/feedback%2Dforum%2D118/don%2Dt%2Dnotify%2Dme%2Dabout%2Dmy%2Dcomment%2D166763 But the ‘Best Answer’ notification doesn’t identify when it’s my answer that was chosen: The old forum did used to distinguish “an answer has been marked” - ie, somebody else’s answer - from “your answer has been marked”

Searching for tags when creating new topics does not match tags midword. Example: when searching for “Designer” the tag “TouchGFXDesigner” does not pop up… TouchGFXDesigner tag does not show when searching for “Designer”“TouchGFXDesigner” does show when searching for “Touch” 

In this thread:There is a PDF attached.On the old forum, attached PDFs could be viewed online - without having to download.I can’t see how to do that now - clicking, or right-clicking and choosing ‘open in new tab’ both just try to start a download.Am I missing something?

The “leave a reply” thing (clicking into which the editor appears) at the bottom of a thread appears/disappears as the thread is scrolled.This then leads to page “jumping” as it’s scrolled, as its size changes and things get recalculated on the fly.More importantly, the “appear” logic is wrong and when the page is resized to smaller size, that “thing” never appears.This - as all the other visual smog added for “modernity” - is entirely unnecessary and confusing. Just leave it there unconditionally.JW

This forum has a new ‘code’ format option - for source code keywords in the middle of plain text:It works fine provided, as above, you type the whole text first, then go back to add formatting.But, if you apply the highlight at the very end of a post, there is no way to “escape” - the whole of the rest of the post will be formatted!

I find it hard to write text after I inserted an image. Especially between two images.I end up writing nonsense text first as a placeholder and inserting the images around that. Then I edit the placeholder text.The old forum had a html view where you could easily place the blinking cursor after the image closing tag.For example it is hard to put text under the first image: The cursor can only be set to the image caption below the first image:So then I need to delete the second image first to get in between.I also don’t see the option to set image size anymore. Is it always full size?

When selecting an answer as “best answer” the original markup does not show up in the “best answer” preview. See belowOriginal post“best answer” preview ignores the original markup
