Remaining issues with new techcommunity.microsoft.com experience

Hi all, 

Much appreciate the new experience and improvements like tagging, mentioning bugs fixed, much better notifications. 

 

Will keep it brief:

 

  • loading personal message takes very long time or eventually load eternally
  • Click on threads in notifications will no longer load the actual item (reply, mention) 
  • Can no longer see posting stats in my user rofile (important for MVP contributions)

  • Dear Allen is there any news about upcoming fixes? 

     

    Meanwhile spotted a new one. 

    1. We may not link to support.microsoft.com, error : content not permitted. 

     

    2. Sometimes when reply to a blogpost the editor options are truncated in Edge Mobile view. 

     

    This is the expected bar 

     

    Sometimes when Replying it is truncated after "cite". There is a sort of scrollbar below the options but it doesn't work. 

    Workaround: reload Page or Set Edge Browser to Desktop Mode on Android.

    I totally get your frustration – the new improvements like tagging and bug fixes are awesome, but those issues sound annoying. The slow loading of personal messages could be fixed by clearing the cache or trying a different browser. The notification links not working might be a bug, so hopefully, it gets sorted soon. And the missing posting stats for MVP contributions is a real bummer, especially for tracking. Hopefully, they’ll address these glitches with a quick update!

    I have some issues to report as well:

    1. It never remembers my sign-in and since signing in takes a lot of time, that is annoying
    2. I don't want to see Notifications of posts made by me, that is pointless
    3. I would like to notifications dropdown back, I used that all the time and now has been banned to a separate page

      Can confirm, it keeps logging me off (Android / Edge). 

  • further on the notifications: 

    clicking on notification on PC / Edge is the same as on Android. For me it only opens the topic and OP, not the respective comment / mention.

    Allen could you describe your repro steps and behaviour, please?

      When I click on the notification bell and then click a notification under it it takes me to the post it was posted in and puts a blue box around the message the notification was about then scrolls to where ever that comment is in the feed.

      I am sensing you're getting nothing like that?

        When I click the notification bell, I get taken to a notifications page, I do not get a drop-down of notifications (which I prefer). Running this in Edge.

    As for me:

    Clicking on Inbox have

    No sign MTC app is doing something.

    In another 45 sec in average (repeated 3 times) messages in Inbox appear.

    If click on any of them another 10 sec to wait for the text.

    Thank you for posting, unfortunately yes there are some issues with the PM system we are tracking them and will obviously share an update once we have a fix.

    Clicking on notifications should take you to the post, do for me. Can you confirm?

    For personal stats there are couple of things I would like to address in your feedback, first we plan to expand the amount of personal stats you can see both on 'your homepage' but also in the profile. Further we have been having some interesting conversations of late with the MVP team about reconnecting the Microsoft Tech Community to the MVP portal, so your contributions would be automatically logged. We used to do this previously but the new aurora UI, and underlying APIs will make this an even more likely probability. 

    I don't want to spoil the roadmap here, but we are also looking at how we connect with your other internal accounts, programs and memberships at Microsoft and will have more to share on this in due course. 

    • That's amazing news. So this means, it could happen, we do not need to file contributions and stats mvp.microsoft.com? 

      What's also missing is "number of views" for the OP. 

       

      Open notifications will open the OP instead of the comment still repros on my end.

    shonetakelor  this conversations has nothing to do with installing Windows. I recommend that you post your question in another part of this community that is focused on Windows so that you can get some help from someone with relevant expertise. You should also provide more details about the error that you are getting

  • Thanks for the confirmation. 

    For me the whole messsaging center is affected.
