Is there any chance of having the old community site back online please?

Hi,

I don't regularly post on the Qlik community but as a Qlik Developer it is an invaluable daily resource for reference

I have hundreds of bookmarks which now don't work, instead I get a very nice message telling me to check my URL for typos 🙂

The user experience on the old forum in my opinion was much better, readability and the ability to find a solution quickly was much easier.

Also did I miss something or was the community asked/told about the move to a new format?

I'm sure I'm not the only one with these issues?

Thanks, that's great feedback! I can definately see what you mean with the use of space on the pages. 

I haven't even tried the responsive design for this new Community yet, but I'll check it out. My perception is that the Community can, and should serve all varieties of user levels, both technical and not. So I agree that uploading files wouldn't happen from a mobile device, but other topics could absolutely happen through a mobile or iPad etc. 

I'll bring the real-estate feedback with me back to the team, and we'll see how we can action on that! Thanks again!

 

All the best

This is awesome and I really appreciate you took the time to write this out. I will discuss all points with the team.
* for threaded comments (go to preferences>linear layout>threaded). We are working on making replies be indented too (woo hoo!) .

I'm assuming this is directed at me because I can't actually tell lol. Yeah I found another post about the threaded comments option, I tried it but honestly without the indenting that just becomes more confusing. In other words I'm happy to hear this is being worked on 🙂

Just one more piece of feedback: I think the community browser makes the site a lot easier to navigate, but it's not available on every page. For example when navigating to 'New to Qlikview', it's there for 'Qlikview', 'Qlikview discussions', but not on the actual 'New to Qlikview' page. Then when I open a post, it's there again.

Especially considering I've already seen some people complain that there is a lot of white space not being utilized, I think it would be great if the community browser was available on all (or most) pages and if it contained the full community sitemap, not just the map of the category you're currently in (so not just 'Qlik products' in this case).

Thanks again, and I'm sorry I keep using this post for more feedback, I just want to avoid creating new posts just for individual bits of feedback..

Just noticed threaded comments are now indented, though only up to 3 comments 'deep' I think? Already a lot better though, thanks a lot! 🙂

Hi @jensmunnichs

Not 100% sure of how many replies get indented, but this was a low hanging fruit we could implement while we wait for a slightly better indentation-experience which we hope to launch in coming phases of the Community development. 

 

All the best
