Community platform bugs, issues and suggestions

[Martin-O2]

Hey everyone, 

This topic is a place where we will keep the community updated about the status of any issues or bugs affecting the community platform that we are aware of and have reported. We will keep an up to date tracker of what the issue is, when it was first reported, the current status and the latest update. This will enable you to easily check if something you've noticed has already been flagged. 

How do I report a new issue or bug I've encountered on the community? 

We would like you to use this topic to report any new bugs or issues that you come across so we can add them to the tracker. To do this simply report the issue in the comments and tag in the community team so we can update the top post with any new issues. Please include as much detail as possible when reporting a new issue and where possible include the following: 

• The Date and time you first noticed the issue 
• A detailed description of what the issue is and how it's affecting your user experience 
• If applicable include the URL of where you encountered the issue 
• The web browser and operating system you are using 
• If applicable a screenshot of the issue 

The above information will help us and the support team properly identify the issue and get working on a fix. 

How do I check the status of an issue that has been reported? 

At the bottom of this post you will see a list of all the active and recently resolved issues. The current status of the issue, along with the most recent update with be shown there. If you have a new question or more information about an open issue please post it in the comments of this topic.

You can also use this topic to make requests or suggestions for new features or changes to how the community platform works! Please bear in mind that making changes can often take time and some requests won't be possible for various reasons but that said we would really appreciate your insights on how to improve the community interface and will aim to implement changes where possible. We will track any suggestions below the issues. 

Thanks for your patience while we work the outstanding issues and for your help reporting and testing.

Thanks @gmarkj! We'll do some testing on this to see if we can replicate the issue. Please let us know if you have any further incidents.

Thanks Martin.

Your mention worked (showed up in notifications), but there is a gap between 9am and "now", so perhaps a temporary glitch in the matrix...

[Martin-O2]

@gmarkj we've done some testing and can't replicate the issue. Hopefully just a glitch but if it happens again let me know and I'll raise it with the platform provider.

Looks like something blocked the pipes for a while, 09:01 features:

@Dave-O2 

Suddenly getting new forum posts  showing not answered, but on opening they have at least one reply

@Enlli 

I've noticed the same, for about the past week now.

@Dave-O2 

ALSO TO BUMP THIS FROM 1ST PAGE

Issue: Customer survey pop-up frequency and drop to bottom of the webpage

Date reported: 04/01/22

Status: Cause of the issue identified and waiting on a fix 

Latest update: 15/03/22 - The engineering team are currently working on a resolution to the bug causing this issue

So if my maths are correct, it's been TWO YEARS since the pop up was first reported....and TWO YEARS since 'the engineers were working on a fix'.

Good job my profession doesn't need to wait 2 years to work on a fix for a head injury!!

[gmarkj]

I'm getting read posts on the unread list again...

[Enlli]

On the other end of the scale there are three posts in this thread

And despite reading this, AND REPLYING, this thread has just popped back into my unread posts...

Clearly some changes been made to the forum today.

Unread posts has reset twice so I've seen every post in the last 18 hours twice.

Notifications slow to come in then came twice also.

Finally, deleted users are now "not applicable" rather than "anonymous".

Maybe it was an update to fix the pop up 🤣
