About

I typed up a reply, all text, and hit submit. Then a message pops up saying Something’s gone wrong and my entire message is erased. No indication as to what happened. I’m logged in normally, nothing special going on from my side. Guess I have to copy my message to clipboard before hitting send. 

Hello ST Support Team,I am currently working with SPC5 Studio 6.0 and facing issues with debugging my SPC560B50 project. The IDE fails to launch with the error message:"Error with command: gdb --version / Cannot run program 'gdb': Launching failed."I have verified that SPC5 Studio 6.0 does not include the arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe file in its installation directories. Could you please clarify: Does SPC5 Studio 6.0 require an external installation of the GNU ARM Embedded Toolchain to provide GDB? If so, which version of the toolchain is officially supported and recommended for SPC5 Studio 6.0? Are there specific configuration steps to correctly link SPC5 Studio 6.0 with the external GDB executable? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated, as this issue is blocking my ability to debug projects with SPC5 Studio.Thank you, Anand

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

Here:But the most recent post in that thread is 1 year old: I guess this is an old thread woken by spam, and the spam has now been deleted ?But the forum should not be highlighting it in the ‘Recent Activity’ list.

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

When you type ‘@’, you get a list of thread contributors.It would be useful if that list identifies which one started the thread. Also, It seems to me that the thread starter (almost?) always appears at the very end of the list - which seems unhelpful. PS:Also, the list includes my own username - which seems pointless ? Example: 

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: 

None of these issues is actually solved: The posts marked as the solution are just “We will add this to the list to be considered for improvement”.That’s not a solution!I don’t think a solution should be marked until the issue is actually resolved - whether by fixing the issue, or with a decision that it will not be fixed.

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!

  Nothing happened for ages; no animation of the ‘Create’ button.I gave up, did a select-all and copy-paste to a new post in a new tab.That one worked fine: Back at the original (still stuck “waiting”), I hit refresh, and it just went back to a blank form - all my edits lost and gone forever (if i hadn’t had the foresight to take a copy). See also:But this time there was no error message - it just hung in that “waiting” state. Again, this is why we need the forum to save drafts! 

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.

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!

I have some stored links, which use the stcommunity.st.com third-level domain (note that it is not community but stcommunity), for example https://stcommunity.st.com/t5/stm32-mcus/empty-check-mechanism-on-stm32/ta-p/49369These now display a message saying Khoros is down. As it’s an st.com domain, i.e. under ST’s control, these may be changed.A proper redirection would be nice.JW  

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 ?

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” 

Hello,Can the admin please help deleting my account permanently?If you are admin and read this then please do so asap. @changed01 

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?
