Feed back on the community itself

[Aaron Lawrence]

I was trying to figure out where I could post to give feedback on the Atlassian community. 

I couldn't find anywhere obvious, so I tried these generic sounding community groups.

Is there somewhere to discuss and suggest improvements to the community itself? 

(I wanted to ask - is it possible to sort answers by date)

Hi @Aaron Lawrence 

There are periodic surveys which pop-up in the community to solicit ideas, such as this one which just completed.  You could add a comment to that thread since the popups are gone now.

And, please watch that announcement group for more in the future:

https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Community-Announcements/gh-p/community-announcements

Also in the interim, you could directly email the community managers: communitymanagers@atlassian.com

Yes, and...I agree with your suggestion.  Specifically, I recommend suggested answers to questions display in this order:

• Accepted answers first
  • Then by the number of votes, and then by increasing date / time submitted
• When there are no accepted answers
  • By the number of votes, and then by increasing date / time submitted
• When there are neither accepted answers nor votes
  • Sort by increasing date / time submitted

And, eliminate the feature which allows "pinning" of an Atlassian-preferred answer above all others, regardless of acceptance, voting, and date / time submitted.

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Bill Sheboy  thanks, I saw the thread about Value Analytics but didn't seem like I should try and post a general feedback to that highly focussed topic. 

I did eventually find the email, I guess that would do it... seems odd that they fall back to email to discuss a web discussion forum :)

I just wanted a plain choice to sort by date. When in these kinds of forums I find anything other than date very hard to work with.

Hi Aaron,

I suggest you reach out to the Atlassian Community Managers here: 

communitymanagers@atlassian.com

For what you wanted to ask:

If you click on "Community" at the top of this post where it says "Community / Groups / Featured Groups / Welcome Center", it takes you to this link:

https://community.atlassian.com/forums/

From there at the top of the results, you can filter by:

• Collection (All or choose a collection)
• Type: Questions, Discussions
• Sort by: Most recent, Oldest, Most views, Most likes, or Trending
• Then change All to Solved to see the answers.

Edit: Looks like Questions type is only related to products and even when I tagged this post as "question", it does not become part of the filtered results. I had to select Discussions as well to see results from non-product groups, it appears.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Susan, but not sure that's what I was asking about. I'm asking: once I'm looking at an individual question, to be able to sort the responses by date.
