Terri -

Not sure I like it.

Maybe it'll just take some getting used to ?

I hope this response has been helpful to you.

Search seems to be badly broken.

Was just trying a search for 'NSO-155', and the string gets replaced with search for 'Benson' ?

The user experience so far has been sub-optimal ...

New design looks good, but all posts have suposed been transfered?

Hi Eugene,

Thanks for the feeback and catching this issue. We'll get right on it. As for your experience being 'sub-optimal', change is not always easy and this was a big one. It's a completely new platfrom and will have some hiccups in the beginning (just like when we first launched Community back in in 2008 - it was rough in the beginning).

With that said, it's great to get constructuve & useful feedback to make the experience better and better. Keep kicking the tires as we fix issues. We also have some additonal changes in the queue over the next couple of months.

Thanks!

Terri

@nicholaf This has been fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Eugene,

We are working on fixing the search issue. We will post again when it's fixed.

Hello François,

You are correct about last week’s posts. As part of the move to a new platform, we had to take a snapshot of the community the week before. Since we knew some posts would not make it through the migration, warnings were placed throughout the old Community about not posting week of 9/22/2014. Apologies if this was not clear. We are looking into how/if we can retrieve your content.

Thanks so much for your patience.

Terri

Terri,

New version looks better and faster, however I don't see my Ask a question button. Do I need to open a ticket to support ?

Thanks!

@trentino123 I am sorry, I don't understand where you are referring to with "my Ask a Question" button, can you be more specific? In all areas where new discussions can be created and you are logged in, there is a button that says "New Message" For example in http://community.netapp.com/t5/FAS-and-V-Series-Storage-Systems-Discussions/bd-p/fas-and-v-series-storage-systems-discussions

Let us know if we can help you with anything else.

Allison,

You are correct as the New Message link is appearing in a blank page ( equal in size to the one presenting information ) to the right of the screen.

Could be the new design or the fact I am using IE10.

Thanks!

The simulator forum seems to be missing everything since November of 2013.

This will take getting some getting use to. How do I post new questions to the community? Can't seem to find my way around this new page.

Hi @_NETAPPUSER

To post a new thread, go to any area with "Discussions" such as http://community.netapp.com/t5/Data-ONTAP-Discussions/bd-p/data-ontap-discussions in the name and you should see "New Message" button on the right side when logged in.

It looks like you have figured out how to reply

Let us know if there is anything else I can help you with.

Hi, I took me a while to notice the "old" communities are still around at https://private-communities.netapp.com/welcome So what's the ultimate goal - keep both? Or create a more restricted subspace here and move everything from the other place? Kind regards, Radek
