    Guys, let's focus on the technicalities of the forum experience and deal with strategic marketing, communication and product lifecycles somewhere else, because this thread is hard to follow as it is.

    Just my 2cents

    Yes, please. Maybe someone should make a “Backseat CEO” thread for people who want to tell NI how to run their own company.

    There is trick to this. If you make a post it should have at least a bit of of content concerning the topic otherwise there should be no reason to post.

    How 'bout revisiting the mute button feature?😢

    Hm.

    Posted something of mid length (in here - https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/361/ni-the-future-and-transparency#latest ).

    Edited the post afterwards for some context.

    Hit save and post disappeared without warning.

    Not fun.

    So far interactions with this new community place are rather lackluster tbh - and disappearing posts is an absolute no go.

    Is this behavior intentional, does everybody have it like this or is it unique to iPad iOS 12:

    PS: Sorry for the crazy big picture, haven‘t found a way to scale it...

    Thanks. .....but I. think this link should be included in the "categories" or "quick links" section on the right hand side.

    I see the same thing on the Mac in Safari (15.3). Opening a dropdown does not notify other open dropdowns to close. I don't know how much control NI has over the forum software, but there's an easy solution for this sort of thing (I'm a web developer; this comes up often).

    That has nothing to do with the topic, this is about Ideas and improvements for the forum, not the products.

    I am not sure but seems like a bug to me, I've tested a bunch of browsers and this only happens in Safari, even in the Desktop version the top buttons work like toggles and the dropdowns don't close when you click another one.

    PS: I called the picture for you.

    Question: Is there any way to snip the quote from a longer post to just the part one is replying to?

    You can copy/paste what you want to quote, tag the user, and then highlight it with the quote feature as showed below.

    Thank you for your quick answer, @Nico_NI -- that's indeed what I was afraid of.

    So when I quote as you suggested, I also have to manually add a link to your original post, if I want to have the full functionality of a proper quote of a prior post:

    You can copy/paste what you want to quote, tag the user, and then highlight it with the quote feature as showed below.

    So that's 2 separate copy and paste operations - and extra typing and clicking.

    Some other modern forum software seems to handle this common use case quite a bit more elegantly.

    Oh well ... 😕

    This is part of the improvements we'll see in the next few months. Our provider is already aware that quoting is sitting on top of our list and they now confirmed that editor improvements are coming in Q2.

    We'll be sharing more details quite soon about what's going to happen here.

    In case it wasn't obvious, we're not part of the communication team and this is really not the thread to discuss more than just the platform itself.

    I already shared across multiple threads that we're working on a lot of different initiatives but changes take time. I'm fully aware of what some of you want to be able to see on here beyond the cosmetic elements and it's not one or the other. It just happens that platform and cultural changes happen at different pace.

    Just like @Murat Kayi mentioned, please focus on the forum experience here.

    This thread will be open for a bit longer. We'll then compile all our findings and share our plan / start making immediate adjustments wherever possible. This will also include some items shared by our provider and hopefully gives everyone a good picture of what to expect.

    Once the roadmap is shared, we'll have another round of feedback.

    Keep the comments coming until then 🙌
