As the site is set up to handle the discussion of deployment tips, offer similar support for software errors: by error number and/or message, tips on how to address errors on a software-specific basis.

After a certain number of people rate something poorly, subtract points from the user based on the rating assigned. For example, 10 people have rated by blog post and it has a 1-star rating, therefore I loose a couple of points originally provided for having submitted it.

Currently you can search the site for specific things and you might stumble across useful CIR or MySQL code that someone wrote along the way, but it might be better if there was a repository with a compilation of useful scripts and CIR's that others have developed along the way. Here is an example of Chucks on git: https://github.com/csteelatgburg/K1000-Database-Queries.

It is difficult to follow threads now for me, as it always shows the orginal poster. This is ok, but I would also like to see the last poster, as well as the date/time of last post. This helps me in knowing if something has been responded to.

For things like city, state, country, etc.. you should have pre defined drop down selections. Having to click each one, delete the "None" contents and type in everything is a little complex. Having the predefined drop downs might be a little more easier to use.

in AppDeploy we could quote posts in our reply posts to make it easier to read the replies. Now it seems that there are no more quotes which makes these posts with multiple quotes difficult to read and to understand.

Is there a way to bring back the quote tags in the posts?

Colors are nice, indication of what they mean would be helpful.
Filtering of types/colors would be nice.
When user selects a tag, text entered to that point should be replaced by that tag.
Typing more text should always reduce list of tags, sometimes it seems to grow (and rather than or).
Shorter tags should sort ahead of longer ones.

I'd like to see the site provide pages for OS patches in the same way software is covered to discuss deployment notes and associate questions, blogs and links.

We have a lot of tickets that are time sensitive or need to be completed at a certain date. Having the option to automatically send an email notification on the date and time a ticket is due would help greatly.

This happens consistently when submitting a question with, for example, the topic "Scripting." Then a question and description is entered, and below where tags are added, if the same tag is used as the topic, the error "something went wrong" occurs.

This appears to be true for any combination of topic and corresponding tag.

Not sure if this has already been posted. I search and found nothing. At my old job, we use Spiceworks for Inventory management on our devices. Since I started my new position, I have grown to love Dell Kace. However, I missed the Timeline feature. The ability to enter notes about a certain device that Hard drive was replace on this date or the new owner of laptop was change. Maybe device was moved to this location. You get the point. I hate to manage (2) systems for inventory, since Kace does 95% of the job :)

What you will find is that often the same people will stay at the top of lists like this because they joined early on and your competition will go stale. Leave them there, but have a second list of top contributors in the day/week/month to get your secondary contributors going.

It would be nice to see a Private Message system added to ITNinja. One very good thing about AppDeploy was the ability to have someone pm you and ask you for help outside of the forum. Or to run something by someone before putting it out there in the worry that you'll look stupid. (Something I've done myself)

I would like to be able to edit or delete a comment that I have posted. My apologies if this is already implemented but I did not see a way to do it.

I've just marked a question as answered, that I posted a repsonse to.
I would have thoght that just the OP could mark this answered, as only they would know if it resolved their issue.

Or is it that anyone can mark as answered to show that the solution posted worked for them?

Here is the post:

Perhaps it's network traffic but the new site is INCREDIBLY SLOW!!! So slow in fact that I'm tempted to look for a new site. I am very frustrated at this change! I'm worried that in the attempt to make this site "better" you are going to convolute the content and bury it to the point that it's impossible to find with a responsible amount of effort. Please think of the user base here; my first impression is that you never asked the community what they liked about this site.

Rename the ALL tab to Active Questions or just Active. It's good to see the answered question but a pain to scroll through all. Just seeing the active ones in their own tab makes it easier and an Answered Tab would let people look at the solution to educate themselves if they come across it.

Text formats in Deployment Tip Summary are very "large"? Think this looks a bit messy.
For example see summary of FileZilla 3. Just used predefined styles.

Maybe there is a little bit of adjustment possible, to give it a better view :)

Thank you!
