Forum migration lost code formatting

[waclawek.jan]

I've noticed that for example in https://stcommunity.st.com/t5/stm32-mcu-products/word-select-frequency-when-i2s-format-is-setting-to-pcm/m-p/478129 the inserted code is flowed instead of formatted as code.

ST, can this please be fixed?

Also lost all previous e-mails links...

Number of replies in drop-down (page top search line suggestion) is incorrect. It always display 1.

I'm not sure what do you have in mind. Can you please post a screenshot highlighting this item?

There are also missing threads, i.e. lost in migration, e.g. https://community.st.com/s/question/0D50X00009bLPmvSAG/2017-stm32-wish-list (can't be found using search for "2017 stm32 wish list" either)

Funnily enough, search did find Amel's 2021 Annual Wishlist, https://stcommunity.st.com/t5/stm32-mcu-products/2021-stm32-wish-list/m-p/185381 , which was promptly censored back then (in the promise of Ideas, which as we already know was the failure exactly as we expected it to be).

Search is the expected stupidity anyway. The suggestions are expectedly completely wrong, please remove them.

Searching for "piranha ETH":

Showing results for piranha Beth

Search instead for piranha eth

Thank you for mentioning that. However, it is already on the to-do list and will hopefully be fixed, just like several other teething problems.

Hi Peter, 

> Thank you for mentioning that. 

In this thread, as many problems are discussed, you may want to reply to the post I've made instead of posting at the bottom. It appears that in that way it might be possible to identify the posts tree, although I'm not sure if it works in all cases.

Absolutely correct suggestion and sorry not to have looked through the list of things carefully enough myself. You see, even among ST colleagues there is still a need to learn. :)

BTW: smileys/emojis also do not work yet.

To write the previous post, I copy-pasted two lines from the search page (Showing results for piranha Beth/Search instead for piranha eth). As the second line did not show up in the editor, I wrote manually "Searching for "piranha ETH". Upon sending, it threw an error, something about incorrect html and displayed some mess. After tidying up the mess and sending, the second line showed up AFTER my signature i.e. the last line I wrote.

Yes, yes, all these were expected. You should've kept it simple.

Hello @waclawek.jan , 

I reported the search inconsistencies. However, when I applied your actions, I did not get any error. Could you please add a screenshot? 

Thanks,

Speaking of learning needs - it looks like you can no longer just reply to a message in a thread like you used to, so the reply is directly below the question/message/etc in question, but always at the bottom. On the one hand, you don't get confused by many side branches that often made you lose track in the old community, on the other hand, exactly what you just criticised happens.
Summary: it is indeed better to limit threads to exactly one topic and to create a new thread for deviating topics.

Yes, generally, I wholeheartedly agree.

However, discussing the new forum appears to be a picky topic, your colleagues have already censored Clive's post from yesterday. So I did not want to inundate the forum with individual threads pointing out the flaws.There will be many.

You can also switch to "tree view" (called "threaded" for extra confusion) of the posts lists:

which is what was Salesforces' default and probably only view although I never liked that.

Unfortunately, Khoros botched that one, too, failing to indent the posts to indicate the tree, so I definitively don't recommend it.
