Greetings, community!   When we launched our community redesign on April 1, one of the strongest pieces of feedback we received was that it was now more difficult to keep track of which posts you had already read and to spot threads that had recent updates.   Previously, new threads and threads with new replies were indicated with a bold title; titles of read threads were less bold. However, it was difficult to differentiate between read and unread, as shown below.     Now, instead of using bold / non-bold links, we indicate threads with unread content with a small orange dot:       Note that the orange dots will only appear when you are logged in.   We hope this change helps you keep track of your reading of the community!   Please let us know any feedback in the comments below.     P.S. Due to technical constraints of our community platform, un-bolding ALL of the links within a given topic in the list (the forum, thread author name, timestamp, reply author name) was not an option. Dots to the rescue!  ... View more

Hello, all!   We continue to make adjustments to our redesigned community based on your feedback (and the feedback of our UX team). Here are the latest:   Most noticeable changes: Sticky left nav & header Kudos button change   Minor fixes: Replies: Odd placement of “i” on when replies auto-save Header: Sometimes swaps to Meraki Go header Header: Notification count indicator should be a link Left nav: Doesn’t always remember collapsed state Learning Hub: Title should be outside white box PM Inbox: Make private message UI more usable on mobile (adjust padding) Technical Forums page: Forum titles don’t appear clickable   I’ll spare you the details of the minor fixes, but here is a bit of info on the two most noticeable changes:   Sticky left nav & header Previously, as you scrolled down the page, the header & left nav stayed in place, which required scrolling back to the top to access them. Now the header & left nav are shown no matter how far down you scroll, for easy reference and navigation.   Note: When in a very narrow window, such as on a mobile device, the header and left nav are NOT sticky.   Kudos button change The kudos button is now just the kudo icon (“up” arrow in a circle), without the extra box around it. The button is now gray by default (when you haven’t yet given kudos) instead of blue. This makes the kudoed / unkudoed state more obvious and also reduces visual clutter.   Previously Now Unkudoed   Kudoed Unkudoed   Kudoed     As always, please let us know any feedback in the comments below. ...

Greetings, Community!   We have just launched some additional changes to the Community platform, continuing the redesign that we launched on April 1: Collapsed left navigation is icon-only UI expands the full width of the browser window   Collapsed left navigation is icon-only Those of you who take the time to collapse the left navigation likely want to maximize the content area as much as possible.   So, when collapsed, the left navigation now displays only icons, taking up a minimum of screen real estate.   PREVIOUSLY: Collapsed navigation displayed icons and text     NOW: Collapsed navigation displays icons only (tooltip appears on hover)     If you’d like to see this for yourself, click the three-line “hamburger” menu in the top left corner to collapse / expand the menu display.   UI expands the full width of the browser window As in the Meraki dashboard, the Community UI now extends the full width of your browser window to make maximum use of browser real estate, and the content stays aligned to the left when the screen expands. Previously, the content centered itself in the middle of the screen.    PREVIOUSLY: Community UI did not fill the whole screen   NOW: Community UI expands across your entire window     Note that, in order to keep content readable when the window is very wide, the width of text inside posts is constrained.   We’d love to hear your thoughts on these changes. Please post any feedback in the comments below. ... View more
