Check Out the New Community Editor and Private Messages

[sonya_m]

Hi everyone! 

You might have noticed a number of positive changes in the SmartBear Community lately.  

We updated the Community to make it even better! Let me highlight a couple of things that got improved. 

Private messaging was made more convenient: 

• You can see all your private message threads on the let like in any email client.  
• The search functionality is available for Private Messages now. 
• The Private Messages UI in Mobile View has been improved as well. 

Check out your private messages or send one to me 🙂

 The rich HTML editor for creating new posts/adding replies got enhanced greatly:  

• Attachments can now be added with the help of the drag-and-drop feature.
• Images and videos can be drag-and-dropped to the body of the message too!
• More options added to the rich editor’s toolbar.
• Inserted code gets highlighted. Extremely helpful for our tech community.
• You can now Preview your message before posting.
• A lot of emojis to choose from when words are not enough 😂 

I encourage all of you to start a topic or reply to the ones you like to test the new editor.

Take a look at the example of a topic in the Preview mode: 

Looks so neat. 

Our team hopes that you find the improvements both helpful and awesome!

Syntax formatting is a very good idea. sometimes it was really difficult to read the code without copying it to the IDE.

And hey! we have many more emoji icons! 👨‍💻 ⛲ 🥒

Hey @sonya_m ,

These are very great changes specially the code editor part. Great work team Smartbear 👍.

Also i have 1 doubt, that is there any limit on sending private message per day?

@HimanshuTayal Thank you for the kind words!

There should be some anti-flood limits but they should not be interfering with any normal community workflow.

Did you face an unexpected limitation with PMs? Do let me know and I will investigate further.

@sonya_m :

Yes, few weeks back i faced this issue, when i was sending PM to someone, a popup appears for daily limit as below:

You have reached maximum number of Messages for today.
