As of today, we've switched the previous http://DynDNS.com Community forum to http://forum.dyndnscommunity.com, and now operate the new site at http://www.dyndnscommunity.com. So, what do you think of the new site? Give us all of your feedback... the good and ugly. We want to make the best possible http://DynDNS.com Community site for our users, and that means we need to constantly improve upon ourselves! |

I like it. Strange, having got used to the other forum. My only comment is that this is called the "Discussion Forum", when the software used doesn't allow it to be used that way. It might be better if the other one was called that and this more of a Q&A forum. Good point... let me change that right now. :-)

I had to do a forced refresh, but I see the new logo now - nice.

Oh, and (I'm deliberately not adding this to my other answer)... The fact that emails are daily (though I've not seen one yet) makes it difficult to know if a reply has been posted in a timely manner. That said, I've not seen any emails from this forum yet (but plenty from the other one). It would be nice if more timely options were given to stop people having to check back to find out if anybody has answered. Of course, I understand you're probably at the mercy of the underlying software (StackExchange?). Fingers crossed they get it working soon, thanks.

Actually, I did receive one e-mail notification from this site, once, on January 2nd. But I would agree that it's a bit impractical to only be notified once daily (when the notification works). For the time being, I'm using RSS feeds to monitor when new questions are added, but I haven't found any good way to monitor answers to existing questions.

Ok, I definitely see email working now, but it is limited to daily. Bummer. I'm going to get a feature request in to the StackExchange folks. Thanks guys.

Hmmm, I haven't found the RSS feed for the whole Questions feed, but you can subscribe to the RSS feed for each question and get the answers when they appear. Where did you find the Questions feed?

It's different again and time will tell whether it's better or not. With the old forum it was easy to tell if a question was fresh or had any answers - not so easy by the looks of things with this forum. A few things didn't transfer cleanly (mostly post read counts) but it's nice that it clearly marks staff and moderators. Some things is just nature of migrating. I really will appreciate your help in looking at new things to improve! Thank you a lot!

Please note - links in posts are now broken, for all posts. Lack of a preview is also a major PITA, makes it much harder to work out how your formatting will work, particularly as the formatting codes have changed. Another bug/feature - edit history only records the body, not any tag changes etc. |

Another thought, it would be nice if the landing page that directs visitors to the choice made it clearer what the differences are - next to the appropriate thumbnail. I suspect most people just click "New" without understanding the difference since "obviously" they don't want the old forum. Maybe worth naming them "Question and Answer" and "Discussion" with something underneath expanding on those titles? I agree. As it is now, it seems as if this site has replaced the discussion forum, but personally I don't think that is the case. They are two different mediums, and in some situations the old discussion forum will be the better choice to tackle a particular task.

And today, Monday Apr 11th, we updated to new platform behind our QA site. Hopefully it looks as good as previous one :-)
