The Dynatrace Community has moved to a new platform, Discourse. This page explains what came with you, what works differently now, and what (if anything) you need to do. **Why did the Community move to a new platform?** We wanted to give you a faster, more modern Community built around how developers and practitioners actually work. Discourse gives us better performance, native Markdown, smarter search, and a look and feel aligned with Dynatrace products and documentation. It also gives us a stronger foundation for AI-powered features. **When did the move happen?** The Community switched to Discourse on Monday, October 26, 2026. It was in read-only mode from October 22 until the switch, so no posts or replies were lost during the transition. **Do I need a new account or password?** No. Your existing account came with you, and you can sign in with Dynatrace SSO. **What happened to my profile and activity history?** It all came with you: your profile, post count, likes, badges, and awards. **Did my posts and the Community content move over?** Yes. All of these were migrated: • Posts and replies • Solved questions, including their accepted solutions • Articles • Product ideas • Groups • The category structure If you’re a DynaMight with access to private messages, your message history came with you too. **I can’t find my posts. What happened?** Before the move, we archived some outdated content. Archived content was hidden, not deleted. If you need to restore your content, please contact us at [CommunityEcosystem@dynatrace.com](mailto:CommunityEcosystem@dynatrace.com) **Will my old links and bookmarks still work?** Yes. Bookmarks, links shared in emails or documents, and search engine results all redirect to the right page on the new platform. **What do I need to set up again?** A few things work differently on Discourse, so they didn’t carry over: • **Notification settings and email subscriptions.** Follow the topics and categories you care about to set these up again. See “How do I get notified” below. • **RSS feeds.** You’ll need to subscribe again. On Discourse, you can add .rss to the end of most category or topic URLs to get a feed. • **Leaderboards.** These start fresh for everyone, so everyone is on equal footing from day one. **How do I get notified about topics and categories I care about?** Open a topic or category and click the bell icon. Then choose a notification level: • **Watching:** notifies you about every new reply. • **Tracking:** shows a count of new replies, and notifies you if someone mentions you or replies to you. • **Normal:** notifies you only if someone mentions you or replies to you. • **Muted:** no notifications at all. Categories also offer **Watching First Post** , which notifies you about each new topic but not about every reply. To control how and when you get emails, click your avatar and go to **Preferences → Emails**. **Some terms have changed. What’s what?** | **Previous platform** | Discourse | | --- | --- | | Boards | Categories | | Threads | Topics | | Kudos | Likes | | Subscription | Notification levels (Watching, Tracking, and others) | **What’s new in Discourse?** • **Markdown editor.** Write in native Markdown with a live preview. Code blocks get proper syntax highlighting. • **Clearer conversations.** Quote part of a post or reply to a specific person, so it’s easy to see who’s responding to what. • **Real-time notifications.** Get web and push alerts as things happen, with control over each topic and category. • **Faster search.** Filter by category, tag, user, or solved status to find past answers quickly. • **AI-powered help.** Use topic summaries to catch up on long discussions, and semantic search to find results by meaning, not just keywords. **How do I mark a reply as the solution to my question?** If you started the topic, click the **Solution** button under the reply that solved your problem. The solution is then highlighted at the top of the topic so others can find it quickly. **Why can’t I post links or images yet?** To keep the Community friendly and free of spam, new members start with a few posting limits. These lift automatically as you take part, by reading topics, replying, and getting to know the Community. Most members won’t notice them for long. If a limit is getting in your way, for example, because you need to share a screenshot to explain an issue, email us at [CommunityEcosystem@dynatrace.com](mailto:CommunityEcosystem@dynatrace.com) and we’ll be happy to help. **Where can I learn more about using Discourse?** The [Discourse user guide](https://meta.discourse.org) covers the platform’s features in detail. If you have questions specifically about the Dynatrace Community, email us at [CommunityEcosystem@dynatrace.com](mailto:CommunityEcosystem@dynatrace.com). **I found a broken link or a bug. What do I do?** Email us at [CommunityEcosystem@dynatrace.com](mailto:CommunityEcosystem@dynatrace.com). Include the URL and a short description of what went wrong, and our team will look into it. **Where can I ask questions or share feedback about the new platform?** Email us at [CommunityEcosystem@dynatrace.com](mailto:CommunityEcosystem@dynatrace.com). We’d love to hear what you think. ---

You can always also write your comments and feedback here in replies 🙂 There is a lot that we can do with the new platform, so help us make this place truly yours. ---
