Hi,
nice facelift!
But there is one thing that actually looks misleading to me.
The label "answered" next to many discussions gave me the impression, that the question raised has been "answered" in the sense of "solved". Obviously this is not the case.
If nobody else has been confused this way, ok. But you may consider to replace "answered" with "solved" (as seen in many discussion forums) and adjust its functionality to this meaning. I can see if someone has answered to the question by looking at the answer count ;-)

Hi,
more room for improvement.
Under "My Discussions" I would like to also see discussions where I participated. Right now it's not intuitive to find discussion where I posted something. Sure, there is a link in the notification eMail, but I'm already logged in to the community...

All past post history online is gone. All of these show up in a google search but when you click them they are all broken. Are all old posts gone?
@lhumphrey Everything is still here but some links are broken but if you search in the community you will find them.
Here's the archive from 2015-2017.https://community.smartsheet.com/categories/forumarchives.https://community.smartsheet.com/categories/forumarchives
I hope that helps!
Have a fantastic day!

@Andrée Starå Thanks for weighing in! @lhumphrey We are currently working to update all past posts to redirect to our new community, so some links may still be in the process of being moved over.
In the meantime, you can use Community search to find any post you are looking for.
We'll let you know once all redirects have been completed.
@lhumphrey One tip ... if you're looking for older posts, you can use Advanced search to find them. More here
@Stephanie Boulanger Happy to help!

@lhumphrey All redirects should be resolved, so you should now be able to access old posts. Thanks!
@Stefan 7k If you're looking for a record of every comment that you made, you'll find that on your profile page.

I just took a look, and unfortunately the styles are not working correctly. So, it's not pretty, but it's functional. Working on pretty next! (Stay tuned.)
@Stefan 7k Great feedback on the "answered" label. We are discussing with our development team a way to make that label more clear.
Please stay tuned!
I can't seem to get access to ask/post a question. I previously had a 30 day free trial. I now have a NOAA government license. So I know my email address is kind of in your system twice. I
@lauren.harte52286 Asking our Support team to take a look at what's going on. If you're able to post a comment (as you did here) it seems that you have write permissions to the system ...
I didn't know if maybe since that/this is a general thread maybe you have commenting open even to non-registered.. or non-licensed users. But bottomline is I can't see that "button" to actually post a question. Thanks!
Excited to explore this new "facelift". Looks great so far!
I have no "Ask a Question" option.....:(
I have a question to ask.....
Hi Pam,

I hope that helps!
Have a fantastic week!
