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 ?
Right now replies are shown reddit-style, not classic forum style. An newer reply can show up much higher in a topic than an older reply. I don’t think it makes sense in a forum like this as you won’t have many nested discussions (if it’s off topic a new topic will/should be created). I only click reply on a reply so I can quote it and respond to it. Not to create a deeper nesting.I’d like an option to disable it.I saw it when I clicked a notification in this topic and it didn’t bring me to the post. I scrolled down and didn’t see a new post.https://community.st.com/stm32cubeide%2Dmcus%2D28/date%2Dmacro%2Dexpansion%2Dincorrect%2Din%2Deditor%2D132651I had to use CTRL+F to find it. Though I cannot reproduce that issue anymore.
TouchGFX uses so much C++ code, but there is no C++ language option when adding a code block// like so
It seems there are some threads still missing from the migration; eg, Is this a known issue?
My previous email ID was (redacted) but since i changed the company I’m unable to retrieve my old account sivavishnu09Please help me to merge that into this. Thanks, Sivapriya
For example, a table like this:This has been posted using the code editor, so it has inappropriate C syntax highlighting. On the old forum, there was a ‘Preformatted’ option in the paragraph formats menu: The ‘Code’ option in the new forum is not equivalent:It’s a character format - not a paragraph format.It doesn’t work for blocks of text (such as the table example above) - it’s for highlighting individual keywords within a paragraph. I made a post about this for the old forum in the How to write your question to maximize your chances to find a solution article (note that the new forum has mangled the examples in that post).We need an equivalent for the new forumPerhaps a ‘Plain Text’ option in the code editor?
In the editor pane’s menu row, the icon to enter Code is hidden under “...”. As it’s one of the most used things here, please change it with something else, e.g. the smileys (which are entirely unneeded in a technical forum), or the 3 line alighment icons (which are extremely rarely used in a technical forum), to be always directly present in the editor.JW
I am sad that I can’t use markdown in community.st.com To be honest, I am interesting in the only one feature: codeblock. I think that ``` or ```bash is very convenient and became industry standard. Even Telegram messenger supports it. Do you plan to add markdown codeblock style? It is weird to click on the … and click to “Code” item in menu… Are we on technical forum? Why we have quick access to Text color but not to codeblock? I feel like new community.st.com comes from outsource designer which really don’t understand content of the forum.

Here: I guess it indicates a “sticky” post, but please add a pop-up - as for the ‘Solved’ tick:
I have copied this link from the post “STM32CubeIDE 2.2.0 released”:https://community.st.com/stm32cubeide%2Dmcus%2D28/stm32cubeide%2D2%2D2%2D0%2Dreleased%2D166532 But that link actually goes to:Text of the URL (with the https prefix removed, to stop the forum linkifying it):community.st.com/stm32-mcus-embedded-software-32/how-to-send-int-values-efficiently-through-cdc-usb-39682?postid=166532#post166532Which does, in fact have the same ?postid=166532#post166532 as the other link!
Periodic password expiry is now widely recognised as counterproductive; eg, from the UK National Cyber Security Centre:The problems with forcing regular password expiry Please stop this: Especially as it does allow you to just “reset” your password to exactly the same as it was before!
Add webp format support for avatars and others. It helps to save disk usage and make user experience with this forum more convenient. For now I can’t use webp because “Sorry, we couldn't upload your file because we don't support that file type. Supported file types: .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .gif”
I suggest to allow like and dislike votes. Dislike is important to indicate that the post contains wrong/weird information or working but not good technical decision. This is how best practices work.
The new forum seems to be wrapping lines within source code blocks; eg lines 44 & 45 here: This really messes with the layout - surely, it’s one of the things which a code block specifically should not do ?
