Monique vdB Community Manager

Normally I wouldn't post job opportunities here, but this is a bit of an exception, since we are looking for a developer for this very community, and of course experience on the community would be a plus. ;) We run on the Lithium platform, and use a lot of -- I know this may come as a shock -- Atlassian products to…

Release notes courtesy of the delightful @Reah: New: Thanks to user feedback, the answer button is now disabled when you're writing an answer.

Thank you to @Reah, developer extraordinaire, for her help with these release notes! * Update: Tags are still allowed but no longer required when writing articles (instead, there is a drop-down to choose where you'd like your article to be posted) * Coming soon: The June monthly challenge badge will be released today. Keep…

Hi all! We're thinking about making some changes to default notifications and interested in thoughts from the community (whether you've changed your settings or not). I believe this would not change your current settings, but would only apply to new users. We will test this out for sure before making any changes. You can…

Now that we have the Cloud/Server dropdown, we have created a dedicated subcollection for Confluence Cloud. If you're interested in Confluence Cloud-focused content, you can watch the collection via RSS feed or email subscription. Go to the collection page and click Watch in the right-hand sidebar to select how you'd like…

Sorry to spam this collection, but Brittany's post from yesterday is not showing up when we browse the Training & Certification collection, so there seems to be some kind of bug. It would be helpful to know if email notifications are working for discussion posts. If you get an email for this post, or if you got one (or…

Due to the volume of Pipelines-related content and to let you follow the conversation more easily, we've just created a subcollection for Bitbucket Pipelines. If you're interested in Pipelines-focused content, you can watch the collection via RSS feed or email subscription. Go to the collection page and click Watch in the…

Release notes from our newest developer, @max! * New: When you create a new post related to a product, you now have the option to select Cloud or Server. This will automatically add the right tags to the post, will provide more information to those trying to answer questions, and eventually route the questions into Cloud…

Community release note (and new feature) courtesy of developer @Reah: * New: Hovercards! Now you can hover over a user's avatar (or their name, in the homepage feed) to get a bit more information about them. Here is @Gezim Shehu [Communardo]'s for example: Nifty! Make sure you fill out your profile so your hovercard looks…

@Tyler T is back and so are his release notes! We also are thrilled to welcome our new community developer, @Reah, who helped with the release this week. Welcome, Reah! * New: Level badges! * Keep an eye out for an article from me in the coming days about what these levels mean and how to earn them. They are retroactive,…

@Tyler T went on vacation. (Somehow, the community is still functioning.)

You can see all available badges by clicking on your avatar and "View Profile"* Note that badges are…

Some users are experiencing issues trying to log into community. Per our developer @davidecorcoran: Teams are currently investigating an internal networking issue that is causing login attempts to community to fail. Updates will be forthcoming here. Hopefully this will be resolved quickly. 

The first release note of 2018 is short and sweet, but some things never change -- this one is brought to you by @Tyler T: * New: Community Showcase widget on Collections and Thread pages What does this mean? The most relevant and recent featured article will be shown in a "showcase widget" on the right-hand side of…

For those of you celebrating or taking some time off, you might feel like me right now: So, why not take the opportunity to catch up on some Friday fun! Post a selfie or a picture of your pet, tell us a joke, finish the 12 days of Atlassian Christmas (just two more days to go!), share a 2017 memory, or tell us what you…

Release notes courtesy of your favorite dev named Tyler,@Tyler T! * Updated: Homepage and collection feeds now include more metrics 'like' likes, total comments, and views * Updated: Collections without trending content (which look empty but really are not!) have a more helpful message with links to the collection sorted…

This NPR article discusses some of the things people used to believe as kids. Such as people thinking sea horses were make-believe, unicorns were real, or "when my dad had the graveyard shift he literally had to work in a graveyard." We have these signs in California, prohibiting large vehicles from traveling down certain…

I noticed I didn't get emails (or notifications in my feed) for two replies to my answer here. I figured I'd start a new thread because I know there are some intermittent issues with email delays. If you've noticed anything similar, let us know either here or in this ticket and we will investigate. Thanks!

Release notes courtesy of dev extraordinare @Tyler T: * New: Minor homepage redesign for logged out users * Updated: Email template updates * General notification template will have the author avatar in the email template. We will continue to add the avatar where it makes sense to add some personality to the emails. *…
