Issues in receiving replies and editing in the Community forum

I was able to confirm today that there are issues with replies being presented to the intended recipient.

A poster had replied to one of my responses on Thursday. I was never notified of that reply. Luckily, he reposted his reply earlier today and I can see BOTH of his duplicated replies in the thread. I thought I had seen this in the past.

I also frequently see the same replies presented to me several days in a row after I have already read them.

Additionally, I have seen some editing issue creep into the post editor.

For example, I used to be able to type in text, highlight it and then paste in a URL and the highlighted text would get converted to a Link. Now, this seems to work only in certain circumstances.

Also, I frequently use the “Preformatted” option to place text in box to make it stand out. I had been able to simply select the text and tap the menu option to apply it to just the selected text. Now, the option will select my highlighted text plus the rest of the paragraph above it. I need to UNDO, tap Return to add a new line an them re-apply the option. Trying to add new line BEFOREHAND does not work.

There are other issues as well…

Bottom line is that someone from AppSheet needs to spend some time testing and fixing these issues to keep the Community User Friendly and easy to use!!!

This new community website is a premature release; despite promises of improvement, nothing has changed in years. Community feedback shows that not even 10% of issues have been addressed. In an era of modern, beautiful UIs, Google appears to be moving backwards and does not seem to care about customers, end users, or their opinions.
