What do you think about the forums? Feedback thread

As the number of people who are using the forums is steadily growing, and the number of posts increases every day, it may be a good time to start a feedback thread for you users, to tell us what you think and what we may improve in the forums.

We had a poll when we started with the forums, where it showed that some people only read the forum but do not post threads themselves. Other people would post their questions, but not participate in other threads. There were also people who would post their questions, but also participate in threads from other users.

What would you like to see improved in the forums? Is there something which you know from other forums that you miss here? What about the number of replies, or the quality of the information in the replies, or the time it takes until a reply is posted? What do you think about the languages used in this forum (German and English)? Do you think the forums need a "beginners" forum? Would you like a forum where you can introduce yourself? Do you think the forums are "just an alternative way" of contacting technical support? If yes, why do you, or do you not prefer to post in the forums? Would you like to see weekly threads, e.g. a friday update? If yes, what should these threads contain? If you have stopped posting in the forums, what was the reason? If you have not posted in the forum until now, what is the reason?

I know that these are many questions :eek: Of course you do not need to answer (all) the questions to provide your opinion. :cool:

If you are just happy with the way this forum works, please let us know as well!

I'm looking forward to some replies with feedback and suggestions :)

In some forums exist a kind of counting points for users. If you help someone then someone will buy you a beer, of course virtual one. In that matter we could recognize if someone is activly helping people or not.

In this forum, you can rate threads. From excellent to terrible. It is a way of signifying how helpful the thread is for the original poster or other users.

I just rated this thread as "excellent". The sum of the votes rates the overall thread.

Of course, it is not a virtual beer :D

it is possible to edit the post for 15 minutes after posting, e.g. to correct a spelling mistake.

The forum is moderated, which means that for each new post in the forum a moderator is informed by e-mail. The moderator's task is to check the post if it violates the terms of use for this forum. The post itself is visible immediately.

We do not allow editing older or archived posts for moderation reasons.

Ich habe eben einen Test zum Editieren von selbst erstellten threads in der Sandbox gemacht.

Ich finde keine Möglichkeit meinen eigenen Thread zu editieren, auch nicht in den ersten 15 min!

Wo sollte denn der Aufruf zum Editieren zu finden sein? :confused:

Grüße,

H.-P.

This seems to be a problem of the rights! We will have a look at this issue to make it possible maybe for all users.;)

should work

Es wurden nun einige Einstellungen verändert. Bitte testen ob man seinen Post jetzt editieren kann! Danke!
