About

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.

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” 

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 

The code block rendering does not correctly color comments / multi-line strings with tripple quotes in Python:Screenshot of the code block rendering Python code with incorrect formatting for tripple-quote strings.Lines 2,3 and 9 should have green text as well.

When you type a YouTube URL while creating a post, you get a nice little preview:But when it’s actually posted, it becomes huge: I think this is excessive - especially when linking multiple videos! See also: 

Please add (at least the option to) notify on post edits.The old forum had it. Notes:The new forum currently doesn’t allow editing the post title at all:https://community.st.com/feedback%2Dforum%2D118/can%2Dt%2Dedit%2Dpost%2Dtitle%2D165974And limits editing the post to 60 minutes: 

If I start a post at the root of the forum tree, there’s no “Product forum” autofilled, and clicking “Create” returns the following red message:which is confusing, as there’s no “category” in the form (that line refers to the “Product forum” line).Also, I’d omit the “public” from “Please add at least one public tag”. The public does not need to know that there are other tags than public too.JW

Sidekick is very interesting.Could you make it easier to access, for example by providing a desktop shortcut/icon, or by making it directly accessible from your website's home page, from STM32CubeMX and STM32CubeIDE, or even from other IDEs?

In the previous forum I could insert an image and if it was too large or small, I could resize it. Now when you click on the image, the resize handles no longer show on the sides or corners of image. Instead, it shows “Insert image caption” below the image.  

For questions relating to low-power modes. I wanted just now for a recent post related to low-power modes, and the Tag search didn’t find anything.But I’ve just seen that we do have PWR and POWER - so maybe this is just another case of improving the search? 

User can edit his post until several houses. I suggest to allow edit post forever. And any other user should have ability to see post history. This is how stackoverflow works. And people really improve their posts.Also in stackoverflow there is ability to edit posts of others. And random people really improve and update posts. It works like wikipedia. Let’s try the same system here?

It was possible on the old forum.eg, I’d like to fix the typo in this one:New community platfrom: Missing following and followers after migration

Why? JW

In general, I hate when things do this: Just tell me the actual date! But, if you are going to do it, make it accurate:  To meaningfully reflect the actual date, that should say two years ago!If it’s going to talk in years, then the value needs to be to the nearest year. Or just show both ?
