Community redesign 2.0: summary

Hello Dynatrace Community!

As you know, we in the Community team are strong believers in constant improvement. When we see an opportunity to make something better, we willingly jump on it, and our ever-changing forum is the proof 😉

Today, I’d like to pass the mic to our first Community interns :tada:, @KarolWisniewski  and @MariaKyrychenko, so they can present you with some recent improvements our Community went through, at their hands.

:sparkles:

Events & Webinars redesign

In this section, we got rid of unnecessary descriptions, completely changed the way events are displayed and many, many more. Now, the forum looks better than ever!

New notification pop-up

Tired of getting redirected to another page when you only want to check your latest notifications? Now you can simply hover on the bell icon 🔔  in the header and enjoy the easy access to all the fresh stuff involving you.

Navigation panels redesign

Every category page got a new look for its navigation panel. Simply click on the link and explore the Community!

Mobile view improvements

With the rise of mobile browsing, it’s crucial to look good on any screen. Many forums and components of the Community were restyled to fit any device 📲

User page redesign

The most important element of any Community is a user. That’s why we decided to give the user page some refreshment. Feel free to check it out!

Of course, there also were multiple small fixes here and there, but there’s no point in listing them. Hopefully, they still lead to better user experience with our forum.

:sparkles:

Thank you for reading and have a lovely day!

And as always, we’d love to hear your feedback! Feel free to drop a word in the comment section 👇

I love the improvements, especially the dashboards, profile, and notifications! Good job.

The only problem to report is that I cannot see the date of obtaining the Badges and previously I can.

I love the new user profile page! It’s so Dynatracy! :heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes: Great work team!

And you know what? I’ve just got an idea that the user profile page could be different for different ranks. For example, Dynatracers have more with the company brand, DynaMights have more in DynaMights style, etc.

@Radoslaw_Szulgo I like this idea a lot. I’ll add it to our backlog. No promises about the date of implementation, but we would like to do at least the background changes for different user profiles at some point.

The issue with the badges page will be fixed in a couple of days in the next update. Thank you for reporting this!

I like the changes too.

Regarding the latest notifications, once we hover above the notifications and see them, I would like the red counter to be reset, so we don’t have to go to the page for that to happen.
