Hi, Community!

We have a new release here!

What has been introduced:

1. Better notifications

With this release I hope you will turn on back the email notifications because every new notification today in the beginning of itself will tell first, why did you get it describing the exact reason you got this particular notification.  And if you don't want this type of notification to be delivered anymore click unsubscribe link in the notification and it will lead to the settings of this very type to alter.

Also, I can indeed recommend digest mode (Use Subscriptions/Overview to turn it on). 

Hi Community!

We are launching the new channel of InterSystems Technology content for you. Please welcome InterSystems Developers YouTube Channel!

What the content you will find there:

• Community Tools and Solutions for Developers - screencasts, promoting different 3rd party solutions for developers.
• Webinars - will contain webinars content made by InterSystems engineers.
• InterSystems Events - live broadcastings and reviews from different InterSystems events for developers.
• video.intersystems.com playlist - featured technical videos from http://video.intersystems.com library.

See how it looks:

Hi, Community!

Over 600 different authors posted anything on Developer Community in 2016.

Hi Community!

In this release we turned off the digest mode for all the members (until it would be fixed) and fixed the Update notifications: now this settings can be found in the same place for all the members: Subscriptions/Content types tab.

Meet in this small release the new very valuable feature: marking answers as "true" answers.

If you are an author of the question now you can choose the right answer if there are more than one and mark it with the green checkbox. Like it is shown here:

If there are more than one answer, the "true" one will be shown topmost.

Hi, Community!

Today, the 7th of December  is the very good day - today is InterSystems Developer Community birthday!

Hi!

We updated the DC a bit.

Member's answers

With this release, you can see the answers on the member's page too.

E.g. see the answers by Timothy Leavitt. 

Post updates don't move the post to top

So we can fix the tags, spelling and make other updates to the post and it would not be moved to top anymore. 

Now only new answers and comments move the post to the top of the feed.

RSS and other bug fixes

Now bugs for RSS feeds are fixed.

Also, Votes renamed to Rating and has the color indication now. Green means good!

Stay tuned for the next DC improvements!

Hi, Community!

We put in production the new DC update today. With this update we fixed some bugs, like publishing drafts with proper date and RSS fix and introduced the new look to the member page.

Now member's page consists of Posts, Comments, and Favorites: e.g. this is the page of Alexander Koblov:

With this update you can see all the contributions and interests of your favorite author on DC.

Hope you like it!

Next weeks we prepare some new good updates! Stay tuned!

Hi, Community!

We deployed the new update on DC and it brings:

• The new post subscriptions/favorites model
• Some menu changes
• Bug fixes.

The new post subscriptions/favorites model:

with every post you now see the star in the left bottom corner of the widget in the feed or of the post.

Click on it and it turns to yellow which means that you store it in your "Favorites" tab which you can find later in your member's page like it is shown in my one.

Also, that means you automatically subscribed to email notifications on all the changes in this post.

Click it again to unfavorite/unsubscribe the article.

Hi, Community!
