The overall page layout of this community is very inefficient. There is a tremendous amount of white space and I am scrolling and scrolling to read. The posts and response thread are especially bad. It would be appreciated if the style sheets could be revised to provide more content and less wasted space. ... View more

Various people have pointed out that our community seems to be inactive due to them not being logged in and only seeing the groups but not the number of posts. The number of posts is actually displayed as zero to them.    It would be great if we could leave the groups closed but still display the number of posts to non-members so that partners are more likely to join if they see some activity in the groups.    Thanks! ...

We are heavily using closed groups and also linking threads into partner communication. When a partner is clicking onto such a deep link to a thread and this thread is based in a closed group and the user is not part of that closed group the user experience is aweful - because: a) the error message is wrong  b) the user is not guided in what to resolve the problem (request group join)   This creates a lot of trouble, additional actions and low CPE. So please fix the error message and help the user in creating a join request just out of the error message as it is e.g. seen in SharePoint and other forum software.  ... View more

It would be handy if it is possible to filter the list view.  If a post is read (or clicked) , I'd like it to not be visible in the list.  Either by switching a view or having a filter options.

It would also come in handy if I could group the list by topic rather than having only the latest post view. ... View more

On the home page you see 5 topics across all communities that are new or have had a recent comment in them. However when clicking the 'View All' link after the fifth post it takes you to a long list of every recent comment. Would it not be better, and easier to navigate if this 'View All' page was grouped by topic as per the homepage so that it is not flooded with all the comments from a popular topic? Perhaps with a counter of unread comments within that topic to note how popular it is?   Many Thanks, Alex C Brewer ... View more
