New features on the Community

Community feature updates 

You may have noticed that the landing page of the Photoshop community looks a little different now.

We added several new features that we think you will like.

Here are some things you can do on the Photoshop community now:

• Designate your topic as a discussion, bug, or idea when you create a post
• Label your post from a consolidated list of topics: macOS, Windows, iPadOS, Cross-app workflows, SDK, Actions and scripting
•  Search in a selected topic,  such as discussions or featured
•  Search for answers with a dropdown of suggested posts and a shortcut to create a post within one click
•  Filter posts by label across all content types
•  Preview the latest announcements and featured posts
•  Add votes to existing bugs and ideas
•  Subscribe to updates for the conversation type you want to follow 

Click on the type of conversation to filter the results:

 

Click on one or more labels to filter conversations by topic:

Click  "Follow" in the top right of the screen and choose which conversation types you want to follow:

Actions and scripting lablel is excluded from Bugs and Ideas conversation types, should it be like it?

There is already one Actions and scripting bug found but can't be marked with this label as the type of coversation doesn't have it as opposed to all others (All conversations, Featured, Disscusions, Annoucements).

I found another Actions bug, but in this situation I postponded to post it until the above will be clarified.

Ps. all other lables exist also for Ideas and Bugs (beside mentioned ones).

Thanks for letting us know @Kukurykus , I'll get Actions and Scripting added to bugs and ideas ASAP. Back here shortly.

[Kukurykus]

Another side-effect change making forum unfriendly for users after consolidation.

So far we had problem with blocks containing codes. In opposed to Jive platform, here on Khoros the scrpting lines are wrapped to next line when they are too long. It's something that allegedly can't be changed. As from beginning of September all codes are one font size too big. They're unreadable and have to be sized down (by Ctrl-) when I analyze them. Together with earlier problem they became now very bad to catch at one glance, as the whole, as the lines of codes are wrapped even earlier than previously (because of bigger font).

May you look at Admin panel to see if there is option to change the size back, so one down?

Just open one thread (or more if needed) on Actions and scripting page to see it yourself...

[Pete.Green]

Alright --- Actions and scripting is now available in both bugs and ideas conversation types. Post away!

[Kukurykus]

One-second off-topic: there's only one (blue) Reply button in Bugs & Ideas, is it correct?

[Pete.Green]

Good catch as well @Kukurykus . Am checking with the community team on this one. Ideally we have more reply buttons. In the meantime, @ tags will have to suffice.

Regards,

Pete

A note just if you're not aware (since I did not see you over here for long), from some time we have the choise on this forum whether we want threaded or linear view, hence adding lacking reply buttons to the posts won't make a harm, as everyone may switch the view to see the latest answers (plus a default link to referred post) .

We've lost the ability to filter to unanswered threads.

[Kukurykus]

Isn't it equivalent to last item of Filter called No Replies?

[Ged_Traynor]

@jane-e 

You'll see it if you click on discussions

[jane-e]

Thanks @Ged_Traynor !

[Ged_Traynor]

You're welcome Jane, don't know why it's not available for "All Conversations" hopefully they'll implement it there too.

[Kukurykus]

Probably because then you'd have a mix of all kinds of (also not related) filters.

[Kukurykus]

So it is 😉

[c.pfaffenbichler]

It seems I cannot »like« replies under »Bugs« and »Ideas« – was that a deliberate decision? 

[Ged_Traynor]

@c.pfaffenbichler 

I was going to post the same, also no spell check by default you have to click on the expand toolbar button

[PECourtejoie]

When trying to edit one of my threads, I did not get the "desktop" tag available, hence the cross apps workflow I had to add: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-ideas/photoshop-new-layer-style-cast-shadow/idi-p...

Also, it might be useful to get the ability to change a thread to a Bug report or Feature Request.

[Pete.Green]

Desktop (and "mobile) tag is only for threads that are migrated over from feedback.ps . So you won't be able to tag threads with it. Ideally, as a mod, you can re-tag desktop or mobile threads with a more appropriate topic.

[Trevor.Dennis]

Pete, is that we are seeing posts from @J453 in this forum?

[PECourtejoie]

Not only him, expect many Ps QE folks to chime in here, which might be a very good thing, not having to turn people away, makes it easier to get feedback...

[Kukurykus]

QE?

[PECourtejoie]

Quality Engineers, also known as QA Quality Assurance.

[Pete.Green]

"it might be useful to get the ability to change a thread to a Bug report or Feature Request"

Moderators can do this through a "move" Pierre.

Cheers

I encountered yestarday one 'desktop' labbeled topic from Adobe Photoshop Family I changed it to one of available currently tags, more fitting to the thread.

As to 'Bugs' & 'Feature request', we used these tags before August when they were eventually removed, but now I don't think they are needed as they would double 'Conversation type'.
