Hello Everyone,
Welcome to the Community Feedback Hub and thank you for joining us here to provide your insights!
In this open thread, we invite you to share your great ideas to improve our Communities, features you’d love to see, share event ideas, etc. Please feel free to share any topic, that you do not see already in the Feedback Hub, that you think should be there.
Please note that this thread is for feedback on the Community, not for product feedback.
We’ll be looking out for popular topics and common issues, and we’ll promote those to their own thread for a deeper conversation as needed.
Your input is so valuable to help us keep improving our Communities—so please take the opportunity to share your feedback with us!
I look forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas. And, please feel free to tag me, or any other Community Manager in your posts.
Wishing you the best,
Tiana.D
I have ongoing technical issue with the Forum, but nowhere to post it anymore.
I am unable to post here, in "The New Community Hub"? Yes, clicking [Post to Forums] button simply spits out this:
Yeah, I reported this to the social media group/person monitoring the account @ADSKCommunity - and he/she/they replied "that's not right at all" - so hopefully just a toggle switch they missed.
I mean what good is a feedback forum where you can't come to leave feedback? That doesn't make sense.
I mean the tagline at the top does say "Dedicated to hearing your feedback on all aspects of the Autodesk Community"
Thank you,
Shaan

Hi RK You've received this message because the Feedback Hub is not set up for community members to post new threads. If you have feedback on a topic that is not currently covered, you can share it in the Open Thread and a member of the Community Team will get back to you there. If feedback posted in the Open Thread is popular, we may promote it to its own thread for deeper conversation.
Oh, c'mon Shaan - this isn't April the 1st. ![]()
How is Autodesk "Dedicated to hearing your feedback on all aspects of the Autodesk Community." - if we can't open a conversation about a given topic? You want us to bury a topic in an existing thread of a totally different subject with hope that it may be found and that a human may decide to prune it off to a new thread?
I must be misunderstanding, this can't be by design?
Since I can't start a new thread, what is going on with this issue? It shows I'm not logged in, but I can post as normal. This has been an issue for a few months.
Secondly is anyone working on this? I have the setting to show the profile photo unchecked (disabled) but it does not work. This has been broken for multiple years.
RK
I was addressing the permission denied comment as you had tried to post a new topic in this Feedback Hub in which the new topics are by the Community Team outside the Open Thread. If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to email or call me to discuss why and make sure we are both on the same page on the issue you are posting feedback about or what you were trying to do if I misunderstood.
Regarding your second reported issue. The profile image is actively being worked on now after research of a technical solution has just been completed.
In the future for clarity and tracking let's please keep separate issues in separate threads.
Regards,
Shaan

"1. Install a button to go to recent post. This will avoid a lengthy scroll to some of the longer threads that could have 60 plus messages."
With regard to the go to recent, there is an option in the settings to jump to the most recent reply.
This is not a dedicated button, but may be worth exploring. I am going to try it and see how it goes. I might end up turning it off as I might not always want to jump to the most recent reply.

That is exactly what we cannot do under the current arrangement, as I and others have already described multiple times. It's really just the dumbest situation imaginable.
This is a new feedback platform and we welcome all constructive feedback and ideas on improving it. We will adjust as necessary. What was in the past was simply not working so we wanted to find a way that we can make sure to close the loop on feedback as well as focused items we are actively looking for feedback to make decisions, content, and programs for the community.
Thank you,

It's very simple - in the past you simply haven't done your job.
@C.A.B. Reports:
I've tossed you the ball.

This ^^^^^^^^
We can't keep separate issues in separate threads. We could in the now missing forums.
Thank you, we hear your feedback and are evaluating solutions for better managing the open thread outside the focused feedback topics. We want the process clear and easy for you to provide feedback and for us to track, respond, and update you.
In the coming days, we will begin regular and frequent status updates on your reported issues in this Topic thread. We will provide statuses such: Logged, Resolved, or In Process. We will also tag the person who reported the issues as possible.
Your input is critical to help us keep improving our Communities.
Thank you,
Shaan

It's been suggested before in the forum that is not longer viewable to have a public issue tracker. When someone posts an issue here that could be added to the issue tracker where it would be easy to track. Having only Autodesk employees be able to add issues would probably keep things neater, but allowing users to add comments would be nice.

Of course it would. ![]()
This is like having a suggestion box at the office, but the box is located in a room only accessible by management.
There will be a regular issues tracking update in the coming days. We are working on that process and update. People will be able to comment related to those specific issues. We are working to make sure issues are logged, tracked, and will report those.
Thank you,
Shaan

I'm sorry to hear that, at least for the Customization Forum. They can make a mess of posted code if someone forgets to [or has a valid reason not to] put it into a code window. And they can't be "reverse engineered" to get what the code really was. A fairly common occurrence in AutoLisp code is an 8 followed by a right parenthesis, which yields
in emoji code. But copying that out to paste into a plain-text editor does not give you back the 8 and right parenthesis, but rather:
The hyperlinks are required to follow our style and standards of autodesk.com.
As you mention, the Insert Code in editor protects from emoji insertion in code examples.

And as I also mentioned, there are sometimes valid reasons not to put it in a code window, specifically when you want to call attention to parts of the code to show what a suggested change or addition is, such as with color and/or italics and/or bold-face and/or variation in text height. If code windows would allow those, I would be content.
In my opinion, emojis have no place in technical forums like these.
