@blanchsb I’ve got some news about forum functionality! I put in a request for a few pain points and I’m told they’ve all been addressed 🤩:

1. Notification hyperlinks not directing accurately.
   1.  “I’ve fixed the answer link…When I looked back at the code that generates the link to the answer, I realized that I was locating the position of the answer in the pagination set with the method .index, which starts at 0. So the position of the 20th answer was actually coming across as 19, so with the fix in place the link is now fully working.” -Nick
2.  Removing auto-subscribing to threads when replying. I’ve found this produces a lot of white noise with highly active threads, like out collab-related threads. It resulted in 99+ notifications for me when only 10% had anything to do with me. I expect team members will be replying to numerous threads throughout April and it would be better to manually choose which threads to subscribe to.
   1. “removed the auto subscribing when an answer is added” – Nick
3.  Notification email linking to the main thread instead of the specific reply the email notifies about. Honestly I prefer email notifications because they provide better info, namely a quote of the message unlike site notifications. However the email was linking to page 1 of the thread and I’d have to go digging for that specific message. Now it should link appropriately to that specific message.
   1.  “and have added the answer link to the email” – Nick

Hopefully these adjustments make our forum experience noticeably better!
