Well... This post in particular was a cross post across multiple 3DX communities (not one of those classic hardcore spam things) and it was even labeled as such. I labeled it as spam BECAUSE it was a hardcore cross post.Glenn Schroeder wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 12:16 pm So when we try to help someone over there by linking to a post here we're in the same category as direct spam that's trying to sell a product that's completely unrelated to CAD?
Do they not realize that if they had moved the old forum to another dedicated forum platform this forum probably wouldn't even exist?

I choose to only see the forum & the top ten list currently & anything unrelated should not appear in that feed. That's what it is for!
If people abuse this decision you'll have everything in all communities soon.
Additionally this is of course a problem of this platform (because it is made to be like any other social media platform): Without cross posting you may not reach everybody who may be interested in this - so you post it everywhere.
In a true forum you could just moderate this post and move it into the place where it should exist (sub forum) and delete it from the wrong place.
Honestly:
I despise the SWAMP. After this one big update they basically did nothing to improve it. I rarely get answers, I can find nothing, posting code is still horrible, you cannot advise somebody to do something because pictures/gifs/videos in comments are not formatted etc.
It's useless.
Even the good ideas (wiki pages etc., filter by almost anything) can not save it, because the UI does not allow you nor does it work properly (or you can not find it). It's a joke.
Edit: Also the possibility to FINALLY integrate the SPR thing, merging of all the SolidWorks accounts, adding nice video implementations etc. are not used. Neither is adding your models/selling them on there. NOTHING WORKS. Like... it's worse than my macros! HOW!!!????
Edit2: & so much more. I don't have time for this.
Probably a very European question:
It definitely does feel like today's world is looking more and more like Idiocracy. Speaking of that movie Idiocracy, why cant I find that movie streaming anywhere in the last 5-6 years. I'm constantly reminded of that movie, but have never seen it on cable or streaming anywhere. Its like the younger generation will soon be saying "What is idiocracy?" I can only imagine the views it would get when it comes back to tv. maybe it would knock some common sense into people if they do see it!AlexLachance wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 10:46 am Wow

Disney+?? no way! Thats a 20th Century Fox distribution movie. I'm going to have to check that out this weekend.dave.laban wrote: ↑Wed Nov 24, 2021 3:32 am Idiocracy is available on Disney+
Side note, "Just Watch" is a great app for finding what service a film/show is available to stream on.

Posts will still need tagging for the categories to work, but there's going to be a bunch of preset tags (i.e. the categories) that you're then prompted to pick at least one of for each post. The categories are then visible from the home screen of the community much more prominently.
It's never going to be as good as a proper forum but they're working within the bars of their prison as best they can.

All the ideas that are still "IN" are bad ideas, and they ignore "OUT" the good ideas. Pretty simple actually!Zhen-Wei Tee wrote: ↑Sun Dec 12, 2021 7:01 am I am confused, Out IDEA is thumbs up?

Now that i think about it, idea are still IN are bad ideas because DS need to work on that and listen to their customer input. Idea that are Out are good as they can sweep it under the rug
Isnt the customer portal worst?

I think that's about the point where I "give up" on trying for that platform, at the very least until drastic changes are implemented that show their commitment to doing something that actually makes sense, or at least explaining the illogicality they dare call a platform.
I'll give Manish his lenience, but to be frank I'm not expecting much of a difference.

I think in one post you just showed how stupid the idea was
Nope, not cruel AND unjust. They might say you were just cruel.
Ya mean the guy that asked for all of our "valuable UX input" and completely vanished?

I liked @josh's reply.
That is the exact reason I can't fathom having visually identified tags like that.dave.laban wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 8:38 am When reading big long lists of tags like that does anyone else read it in a really staccato fashion like each tag symbol is a full stop or something? My brain just can't process text written that way.
I thought that was the platform's mission statement...AlexLachance wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 9:32 am That is the exact reason I can't fathom having visually identified tags like that.
I can understand to have the search work on most words, but does it really need to show the tag directly in a post?
I like Josh's reply, but I think he forgets that you can have both, it's not a matter of "choose one over the other", it's a matter of "This is incomplete, utterly useless, and causes more confusion then helps users"
But then again, that seems to be a reccuring theme over the last 2 years.
