If you could only change one (1) thing on Our and nothing major, what would you choose? Could be a bug that annoys you, a notification you're missing or a feature that makes you scream Stackoverflow instead of Our.
On the 18th of December we have a one day hackathon dedicated to working on Our. This is your chance to inspire us.
I'd like to have the historic forum 301'd/archived correctly to help tidy up SERPs and help new Umbrao users using Google to find the new forum & the best place for community support (http://forum.umbraco.org/). There's valuable information there, oh yes, but it can be a tad confusing for new Umbraco users.
I would like an overview for all the forum posts and packages which I voted up (High five!). Could be the same as the notifications page, but only shows the topics which I vote on one of the posts.
The way I do it is select "Preformatted" from the dropdown, then CTRL+V into the block, then it looks very ugly, then CTRL+Z to undo, then CTRL+V again... and it looks pretty. I have no idea what magic is happening with the double pasting, but sure it's fixable.
Right now there is a mix of v4 and v5 packages, projects with no packages and packages that have been implemented in the core (e.g. relation types, image cropper(?), etc.).
Furthermore, many packages are the same, like image uploaders and google maps packages - might be possible to add these into there own "categories" when there are more than 2-3 of "the same functionality".
Sometimes when I post I get a blank page, lucky that the back button takes you to a page with the post in it or it would be really frustrating loosing a long post.
Something to avoid confusion with the "our.umb dev forum" - right now there's a lot of non-Our related posts that go unnoticed, which should really be on the issue tracker [1] [2]. Maybe redirect it or remove/archive it alltogether. What about adding an "our" project to YouTrack for reporting our issues instead?
Along the same lines, add a link to "Report an Umbraco Issue" to make the bugtracker more visible for newcomers?
I know I've already made one suggestion, but this just occurred to me (as an admin), we might want to consider a "Flag spam" button link? (At the moment most spam is either spotted by an admin, or publically posted on Twitter)
Also, in order to delete all a spammers posts, I'm using Google search ("site:our.umbraco.org +[spammer's username]") to find all their "reply spams" ... which there are usually 30+ links - and nuke them manually. :-)
Sorry but I'd like to make another suggestion. Currently when you search on our you can't search in the documentation. So if I search for MVC I get a couple of topics and packages, but I think that the MVC documentation should be the first result. Currently it's pretty well hidden.
Here's a very quick fix for unordered and numbered lists in comments:
/* This one (~line 48 in forum.css) effectively kills all markers for lists inside comments */
#forum ul.commentsList li {
display: block;
margin: 0px 0px 35px 0px;
}
/* So we need to reset those inside a comment (or the above could be made a child selector, i.e.: commentList > li */
#forum ul.commentsList div.comment li {
display: list-item;
margin: 1em 0;
}
Hope someone will be able to sneak that one in :-)
Ability to search within a single forum. Many projects have their own forum, but it's impossible currently to just search within that forum. Ideally a better search engine (maybe Google mini?) that performed smarter searching.
Can't find anything reliably in the forums!! D: So filters by forum location (eg razor posts section rather than all), year (so not get stuck on outdated posts) and whether or not there is an answer would be good.
Don't know if this has already been suggested elsewhere, but I would love to be able to subscribe to a package, the same way you can subscribe to a forum topic. That way you could get informed when a new version of your favorite package was available or if a critical bug was discovered.
How would you improve ONE thing on Our?

I want the latest 50 topics to have paging so it can be the latest x topics (same goes for the list of topics I've participated in).
Great idea :-)
I'd like boolean operators in the search
example, try searching for 'Improve AND One':
http://our.umbraco.org/search?q=improve%20and%20one&content=forum,

I'd like to be able to reliably edit posts without fear of error messages.
I would make it easier to edit markup code on the forum posts.
greetings,
Anthony
fix the opensearch implementation - you're missing the "content=x,y,z" from template: http://our.umbraco.org/scripts/OpenSearch.xml
Don't know if it's big or not but using the forum on an Ipad would be VERY nice
Pasting code snippets into posts is painful.
The way I do it is select "Preformatted" from the dropdown, then CTRL+V into the block, then it looks very ugly, then CTRL+Z to undo, then CTRL+V again... and it looks pretty. I have no idea what magic is happening with the double pasting, but sure it's fixable.
Cheers, Lee.
StackOverflow style editor would be nice. It's about the only usable programming forum code-supporting editor out there.
No intermittent posting bugs would be nice too, but I'm aware that's about as useful a bug report as "compooter don't work" :o)
A cleanup of the projects/packages section!
Right now there is a mix of v4 and v5 packages, projects with no packages and packages that have been implemented in the core (e.g. relation types, image cropper(?), etc.).
Furthermore, many packages are the same, like image uploaders and google maps packages - might be possible to add these into there own "categories" when there are more than 2-3 of "the same functionality".

Upgraded editor, preferably mark down based.
Sometimes when I post I get a blank page, lucky that the back button takes you to a page with the post in it or it would be really frustrating loosing a long post.
Unified accounts between all the Umbraco dev and Our platforms: forums, issues, TV/Account access, etc.

A Markdown based editor would be very nice - and remove my fear of losing a post when editing it.
So implementing PageDown could be an option?
https://code.google.com/p/pagedown/wiki/PageDown
@Niels: Yes, that looks like a great option.

Documentation section like http://our.umbraco.org/documentation but tied to a project , upload markdown file or point to github repo

Full dates on posts and comments.
The feature with "One year ago", "1 week ago" is not good. Give us dates with day, month and year
Here's a very quick fix for unordered and numbered lists in comments:
/* This one (~line 48 in forum.css) effectively kills all markers for lists inside comments */ #forum ul.commentsList li { display: block; margin: 0px 0px 35px 0px; } /* So we need to reset those inside a comment (or the above could be made a child selector, i.e.: commentList > li */ #forum ul.commentsList div.comment li { display: list-item; margin: 1em 0; }Hope someone will be able to sneak that one in :-)

Thank you all for your suggestions!
A few have been implemented today and I've added all other requests to the new issue tracker for Our: http://issues.umbraco.org/issues?q=project%3A+our.umbraco.org
Future requests/bugs can be posted there as well!
Ps. Of course, voting on issues is also very appreciated to see what is a popular request. :-)
I would make it easier to edit markup code on the forum posts.
the advice is very appereciated! Thanks very much! http://www.xflip.com

Hi,

I would like to be able to use markdown in project descriptions.
