Forum updates — a few improvements to make things better for everyone

We’ve made some changes to the forum to help keep things organised and easier to navigate.

-> Bug reports can now be marked as solved When a reply fixes your issue, mark it as the Solution. This makes it much easier for others to find the fix when they run into the same thing.

-> Feature requests now have voting The Feature Requests category is now powered by Discourse’s Ideas system — you can vote on ideas you’d like to see built. Before posting, search first — your idea may already be there!

-> New: Events category We now have a dedicated space for upcoming rides, races, and virtual events — but also race reports and general discussion. Got something to share? Post it there!

-> Tidied up the category list The default category view has been cleaned up so it’s easier to find where to post.

Thanks for being part of the community — keep the feedback coming! :raising_hands:

Thanks @eva !

The one central thing I am missing is a list of “bookmarked topics” – i.e., I would like to have an alternative entry point to the forum with a topic lists of topics I have bookmarked (not posts I have bookmarked) so that I can easily follow my marked topics.

Maybe this is possible already, but I don’t see how. If so, I am happy to learn:-) Otherwise, to me this would be by far the most useful improvement of the forum (software).

You can ‘Pin’ topics, if that suits you.
Configuration icon at the right side of the first post in the topic.

@eva I don’t know if it would make sense to create a category dedicated about intervals.icu related questions - also with this “Solution” option?

Currently some of those posts are either posted as feature requests, or bug reports, but are basically more a question how to achieve somethin in intervals.

Not entirely sure, but I think, that this option is globally and only moderators and admins can do that (maybe also trust users, probably depending on the configuration).

@yokuha
Another solution would be to create a bookmarkt of a search query to track only watched threads:
https://forum.intervals.icu/search?expanded=true&q=in%3Awatching%20order%3Alatest
And mark the appropriate threads as watching

The “downside” you get also an “alert” for every response in this thread.

Yes, thanks! This is indeed what I had missed for so many years so far :-o)

It’s indeed globally :wink:

This is exactly something I suggested to David last week but didn’t get overly exited response :wink: But I agree, a “questions” category with solution answers would be something we could at least test for a while.

Any naming suggestions for the category?

What about “How-Tos & FAQs?”

The Guide category already covers “How-Tos” and we dont have “frequently asked questions” either, so the name now is “Questions & Help” :slight_smile:

I marked the category as support category like the Bug Reports, so replies can marked as answers.
