Forum thoughts

Hi,

Since the last big update of the forum , the general feed lacks a lot of useful topics, tricks, it's almost busy with " problems " and software bugs ,

this place used to be a platform to exchange tips and tricks, great tutorials, solutions for daily work, it becomes like a formula one pit lane....

i don't know why, but this should be fixed as soon as possible,

Thanks.

They went for aesthetics instead of functionality with the last update. Reminds me of the old saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

However... NOW, it needs fixin'!

I also think they're intention was to make it into more of a social media platform, hence the likes, badges, and calling out the "most liked" commenters.

This is why the Discord group has now surpassed this board as the de facto support group.

It's in the Discord app. Install it and search for "Archicad Users Forum." I'm not sure how to invite, but that will get you to the group and you can join or request to join.

Rex, how many questions were asked and answered in the Discord "Archicad Users Forum" Group in the last one week? About half a dozen? Is that a "de facto support group"?

Anyone can go there and see it for themselves. Here is the invite link mentioned in the other post (any member of the Discord Group can create one):

GS have decided they give a [moderated]. That is what their actions convey, regardless of their words.

Maybe , the solution would be the following :

1 - Bring back the "troubleshooting " board .

2 - Bring back the "tips and tricks" board,

3 - Bring back the "General discussion" board

this way, reader isn't disturbed with hundreds of bugs posts,
