Its not really help with Umbraco, but more a question for the Umbraco team. Sorry if this is not the right channel to ask this question, new here.

Alongside .NET I think we could do with a couple more options 🙂 - some suggestions below - DevOps - Frontend - Azure - GitHub - AWS - Hosting

For some reason media is added as thumbnail instead of an inline element. Is this a configuration or a discord thing that breaks easy adding screenshots ? 😦 We cant do --img-- text bit of info --img-- more text anymore

Is it an idea to add a few tags for the Umbraco products (Workflow/Commerce/Forms) to make it a bit easier to search/find stuff ?

Welcome, Why not having answered tag to help members know the status of the posts!

In the future, for scaling to 300 people, it might be useful to set up the discord stage functionality, which allows for a sort of broadcast management https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500005513722-Stage-Channels-FAQ

Good morning! We're about to make some changes here as it is difficult for people to find the correct channels and some channels are hardly used. To that end: - The

Umbraco Q&A

category will be renamed to

Q&A

- - That means the

random-coding

channel can be moved to the

Q&A

category and called

help-with-other

- The

hq-commercial-projects

channel will be merged into

help-with-umbraco

since it's difficult for people not super familiar with Umbraco to know the difference - The various meetup channels will be consolidated into a single

event-news

channel adjacent to the

news

channel We're hoping this makes it easier for people to determine where to post their messages and will cut down on the number of low-traffic channels.

What's the best channel to discuss new feature requests? I know that there's a #882963797021716531 channel but it seems it's only used to dump all the github discussions activity and no one is actively discussing features there. I'd like to know if I'm the only one having the need for a scalable back office and what's the opinion of other developers in regards to this feature. https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/discussions/14866

Basically as the title, when you don't receive a reply on your question, it can quickly drop, far when it's a bit busy. Is there a way to 'bump' it?

Looks like Linen hasn't been pulling in new content since Thursday. Is this expected or has something gone awry?

I was looking for a way to mark one of my posts as solved, but couldn't find anything - there is a "Close post" option, but as far as I can see it does nothing? The post doesn't get a "Closed" badge or similar, and it even looks as if it's still possible to comment on it (but that may of course be because I'm the OP on it). Is there an agreed upon way to do this (whether in Discord as a whole, or just this instance)?

c#
public static class IntExtensions
{
    const double bytesInMegaBytes = 1024 * 1024;
    public static string ConvertFromBytesToMegaBytes(this int input)
    {
        return Math.Clamp(input / bytesInMegaBytes, 0.1, double.MaxValue).ToString("0.0") + " mb";
    }
}

Normally this would result in nicely colorized info, but when posted the formatting disappears 😦 (see below screenshot) Don't know if it's a setting or not, but this can make the code very much more readable

Hey all! With all the wonderful activity here on Discord there's a LOT of information that's being hidden in this server that we really would love to have indexed in search engines so "future you" can find that you asked the same question a month ago.. 😉 (I have this happen all the time!). Most importantly, it is a wealth of information that should be searchable without people having to know about the existence of this Discord server, it would also prevent a lot of duplication (someone else asking the same question on the Our Umbraco forum that has already been answered here). We've been giving a product called Linen a trial for the last few weeks. For now, the names are anonymized and the content isn't yet indexed in search engines. When we do enable Linen, an example of what they could find a link to in search engines could be: https://www.linen.dev/s/umbraco/t/13138684/what-would-cause-an-mntp-to-be-greyed-out#944c683d-46da-4515-9c93-48bde805e015 There's a link to join Discord to continue the discussion if needed. Additionally, the most important channels are listed on the left-hand site so people can read along with whatever interests them without needing to join Discord. Two things that are good to know: 1. We looked into writing and maintaining our own solution, it is not trivial, we'd much rather pay someone else for that and not have to spend time on it. 2. Privacy: this server is already a public community server, people can already read the contents without joining the server. Before we start paying Linen money, we'd love to know: what do you all think, any strong objections?

I've talked to a number of people at Codegarden about a feeling I've been having for a long time that it would be very benificial to turn the channels in the

UMBRACO-TALK

category into forum channels. After growing the user numbers a lot, the channels get a little bit chaotic with random people posting questions and other people answering previous questions at the same time. It was also pointed out to me that it is difficult to actually contribute: where do you start if you just jump in once a day? How do you know if a post has been answered or not. If everything is just a thread then it's much clearer and we can more easily follow what's going on. How do we all feel about this? We are experimenting with this #1120411010847735860 channel and the #1120358946931216434 (aka TAFKA Vendr). I propose we see for a while how that goes and we can eventually archive the current channels and replace them with forums as well. Big question is: do we make one big "I would love some help" forum with tags (Discord allows tagging) or are people just going to forget to tag and is it maybe better to have a channel per forum? I love tagging though, it allows you to be more specific, maybe it's "modern umbraco" AND "umbraco forms"...

As @ivodepivo suggested a few weeks ago, we should have a place to discuss the workings / features of this Discord and how to make it better. So here we are, and welcome!
