NI Community News

• As suggested by wiebe@CARYA , we have implemented a marker on replies when the reply was written by the original author of the topic. Thank you for the suggestion!
• We have implemented an option on Group Hubs to hide the organizers of groups. Group owners can make this selection on the Group Information page.
• For open groups, the selector hides or shows the list on the group overview page.
• For closed groups, the selector hides or shows the list on the 'request access' page. The list of organizers will always show on the group overview page for closed groups.
• We fixed an issue with a misplaced save button on documents in non-English languages.

NI Community releases new features, including previewing signatures.

Yesterday we released a few changes to the software that powers this community

The Example Code Exchange changes that we teased back in October are finally here! This evening we will be releasing a handful of improvements to the Example Code Exchange based on feedback that you all provided to us. As a result of these changes, you will see an impact on existing and new examples. 

The text editor within the NI Community has gotten an upgrade!

The upgraded text editor changes includes:

• Simplified toolbar to easily access the basic styling options
• Better visual display for code samples in posts
• Inline editing to resize or realign an image
• Improved emoji support
• Drag-and-drop images and attachments

The NI Community has exciting changes coming in early 2020 to the Example Code Exchange! Based on feedback that we have received from users, we are working on improvements to the overall code sharing experience. These changes will impact existing examples that were previously uploaded to the Example Code Exchange as well as new examples created in the future.

Access your favorite forum boards, blogs, idea exchanges, and user groups -- all from one page!

Badges have arrived in the NI Community! A badge is a type of visual reward that you can earn for completing specific community actions or for achieving important community milestones. Community badges can be acquired through online participation such as replying to topics, receiving kudos, and authoring solutions.

The NI Community homepage is getting a new look! The new homepage will help you get to the areas of the community that you are most interested in -- whether that's asking a question on the discussion forums, finding a local user group, or reading the latest news on the blogs. We've also translated the content on the homepage -- so when you've updated your language settings, the homepage will update as well.
