The Latest Comments & Questions

W2ECK

Sorry but I still have not cracked the code on this new Community format. Where do I go if I want to see the latest comments and questions from other flex 6000 users. Right now I am kind of rummaging thru the different categories to find the latest "news and discussions". But that is not working for me, just too cumbersome. I don't see a lot of other users complaining about, So there must be a better way to do this that I haven't figured out yet. Can someone share how they're making it work with me??

Ed, I'm using a chrome browser on a desktop PC with a 27 inch monitor. I have noticed that if I make the browser window too narrow the links on the right move to the bottom. Also other information like the posting dates go away.

You can try making the browser window wider and see if that causes the links to pop up on the right.

Not yet, not sure if @Tim - W4TME Is considering it or not. At least I don’t think there has been any reply but sometimes it is easy to miss a post here.

On the right hand side of the screen I have Quick Links and under that is Recent Discussions...

In Recent discussions you will need to scroll down past Tim's fixed posts to see the most recent

Al- thanks for the reply. Issue I see is there are no dates, how do you know when or how recent the are ?

Hi Ed and all,

Are you accessing the community on a mobile device ( iPad, phone, etc) and not from a PC?

What you see and where you see it is different on the mobile devices. For example, on my iPad the links are at the bottom. On my phone it is even different. Less real estate, so when folks comment about where to look for links, dates, etc it depends on the device.

One other thing I posted about is that the notifications on my iPad don't scroll to the bottom so I can't clear them except on my PC. No answer on that yet.

I know and appreciate that it took them a lot of time and effort to get this back up and running but that doesn't change that fact that this forums / community product is really clunky and second rate. Someone should be evaluating another product, IMHO this one damages their brand to newcomers.

• Having the browser window too narrow was my issue also in not seeing the dates. Thanks Al and others.
• My initial question was where do I go to see the latest questions and discussions from other 6000 users- which used to be a morning ritual for me. Al's suggestion ( thank your for the reply) was to go to "Recent Discussions", which I just did- the most recent post was 1 Sept. from Tim---- so I don't think that is the solution.
• So I ask again - where in this new "arrangement" does one go to see the latest questions and answers on the Flex 6000 series????

RE: QUESTIONS

Paul.

You can go to the quick links and click on "unanswered" to see all on the unanswered questions.

There is not a link to see all of the questions including the ones that have already been answered. FWIW, I suggested adding a link for that.

To see all of the questions currently you have to just page through all of the posts and look for the ones tagged as a question.

Al - thanks for the suggestions.

Re; your suggestion on a "new link" for that - one would think that such suggestions would be welcome and implemented. Just like an initial software release - no one ever gets it right the first time or second.....

Having to page thru all he posts looking for a "question" is insane.
