A few updates from the Microsoft Edge team!
Thanks for informing us,
it's sad to see Fawkes is leaving Microsoft, we had a short opportunity to be with them in the community, nevertheless, I wish them success wherever they go and work.
it's totally understandable the situation during holidays and how team members can be busy with their own families, but I'm also glad Canary will get more updates.
I think a FAQ, shown to new members and Pinned to the top of the community, is great, so newcomers and existing members will read it.
I think the #2 deserves to be in the FAQ, it's important.
Ideas section is also great, but with the ability to Downvote as well as upvote.
downvoting is very important. but upvotes also means that how many people agree with a feature request, change or similar things, so that's a much-appreciated move.
by the way, I don't think I took part in the quarterly survey so I'm just going to put my suggestion here, based on what I've experienced: (these rules exist in various other communities on the Internet and have already proven to be useful)
Change the name of the thumbs up button from "Like" to "Like/Thanks"
the use of the 'Like / Thanks' button is preferred over simply posting 'Thanks' or something similar. it makes an excessive amount of posts which add little to nothing to a topic.
Add a requirement to the forum for minimum number of characters required for a comment to be posted under a thread. this will potentially prevent posts that have contents similar to: "Yes, me too, same here, I like it, I don't like it, I want it, true, +1, false, etc. "
(character requirement can be 10-15)
It will help posts to be more explanatory, technical and detailed.
