Purpose
This wiki has been set up as a way to document and track issues and suggestions related to Instant Communities
System and Performance Issues
- Slow performance with intermittent long delays
- Intermittent errors including 503 errors
- At times, in particular entering TAGs, I can outtype the entry process
so easily that it is frustrating, and creates errors
- I've also found long delays when moving from top page to
"communities I own"; (and got a 503 error when going down a
level)
- 503 error going to assign user roles
503 errors (Thursday April 8th 5:40am EDT) on trying to go to "assign user roles" for a community I own
- CSS missing on coming back from assign users
(trying to go to assign members for home and support community)
Returning from these it appears that CSS is "off" (the style has changed)
Bugs
Open
- Creation: Need to be able to specify "pertaining to" committee indicator ...
(default to EPSC?)
- Various options such as background color in the look and feel
area do not seem to have any effect
Possibly fixed, need to regress
- Unable to add subcategory to message board
trying to add subcategories under message board -- questions
does not seem to work (highlight's button, but no page update)
then refresh page and tried again, not I got a new page, but no style
On second pass, things seem to be working properly
(adding subcategories, adding threads - style is right)
Changes and Enhancements
Look and Feel
Functional
- Place to report a problem
- Invitation tools
- Email list tools
- My account: put picture pixel size requirements by that box
(do not require person to open box to find out)
Documentation and Training Material Enhancements
Member management
Content and Publishing
- How to customize pages is unclear
for example a banner with two columns (I found a tool but it appears the template over rides this)
(and appropriate size considerations) is unclear
To Be Screened and included up above
Calendar:
xx Build up a more relevant list of Calendar events
xx - section meeting, chapter meeting, conference,
xx - etc (and get rid of non-professional events?)
either get no notifications or two? ...
and do they go to all players or just individual who adds them?
Time zone sensitive, but no ability to set timezone!
How widely is calendar shared? ... I notice that a set of
"Mickey Mouse" events were already set on 2/2/10 in a new community.
Adding a multi-day event doesn't work in a way I understand
Do all of your IC calendars consolidate into a single personal calendar?
(I notice that when I click though on my name I find a personal web page)
Message Board Contents
============
Should we allow any anonymous postings? (while I started with "no", I've found reasons why we might go with yes;
if postings can only be done by web account holders, we have a first level of screening ... ideally
" anonymous " here would mean "identify not displayed" (but traceable by us)
Ranking ("youngling?")
(join date is wrong by any metric I can think of)
banned users is useful ... (but is it public?- shouldn't be)
WIKI
got "wiki is temporarily unavailable" after save "request processed successfully"
(may be a work flow problem)
In adding links, browse server may reveal pages we don't want folks to be able to link to
(not sure, I may have uncommon privileges)
In the wiki, it is not obvious how to "link" to a page you have added to the wiki, or
to create a page as a link within the wiki
For Members Only (May 22 experience)
As a member of a few communities (SIGsocialnetworking, Cloud Computing)
I find I can't add to the message board, or find out who other members are.
