Feedback forum

 it seems there is no way to block a user or delete inappropriate pm messages? that’s a bit out of control.. i guess i’m not the only one receiving this: 

I’ve had 3 “marked as best answer” notifications this morning:They are all old threads: Last activity 2 months ago; Last activity 2 months ago; Last activity 1 month ago. So this looks like ST tidying-up abandoned threads - rather than the users returning to mark solutions? As previously mentioned, this is fine - but I think it should be made clear when ST has done this, rather than the OP.The old forum did, at least, include this in the notification; ​@Lina_DABASINSKAITE had it “on the radar” then as an improvement. PS:Just had a fourth: Again, an abandoned thread - last activity a month ago: 

Hello,I no longer use my My ST account and would like to have it permanently deleted.I checked the account settings, but I could not find any option to delete the account myself.Could someone from ST support please help me delete my account?Thank you.

  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 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  

https://search.st.com/?activeSource=%22Search%22&queryText=%22STM32%20microcontroller%20GPIO%20hardware%20settings%20and%20low-power%20consumption%22&language=%22en%22&pageSearch=1&pageXRef=1 Although those two hits give slightly different titles, different URLs, and show different versions, they are, in fact, both AN4899 Rev 4: https://www.st.com/resource/en/application_note/an4899-stm32-microcontroller-gpio-hardware-settings-and-lowpower-consumption-stmicroelectronics.pdf https://www.st.com/resource/en/application_note/an4899-guidelines-for-gpio-hardware-settings-and-lowpower-consumption-on-stm32-mcus-stmicroelectronics.pdf  And why does neither of the hits give the AN4899 reference?

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.

Here: It says “2 Replies” - but there are actually three (one is hidden): Also in the Topic listing:  I said this “hiding” of replies would lead to confusion - it seems it’s even confusing the forum itself !

When trying to log on using my admittedly old but up to date on software iPhone, I get the error “Safari can’t open the page because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server.” It used to work on this forum. For at least the last week it no longer does. I can browse but can’t log in as the error happens when I press the “Login” button on the top right.Using Firefox I get the error “The owner of sso.st.com has configured their website improperly.” 

The old forum allowed this, but I can’t see it in the new one.Related: 

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.

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:
