Dear Administrator,
Take steps to prevent me from posting about Creo, as it wastes time to translate and read.

    Right, that's really annoying.
    With many of these misplaced posts, you also don't realize that they are not intended for "Creo Elements Direct" because the info is too sparse.

    How about a confirmation prompt.
    "Are you sure you are creating a post in the Creo Elements Direct section?".

    How about not naming it new every season ?

    Everybody knows Autocad or Solidworks as brand, but nobody what SolidDesigner is now.

    Here is a suggestion,  The CoCreate users forum allows a signature to automatically be added to posts.  If we could do that here, then we can add to the signature which piece of software we are using.  That way, if a post is accidentally posted on the wrong forum, it will be quick to find.

    Hi Tom, you can add a signature on this community as well. You can set that signature under the Personal Information tab in your settings. This link will take you directly there. Personal - My settings - PTC Community

    Also, as @FriedhelmK mentioned, we are working on some better messaging to try and guide new community members when posting, so stay tuned for that.

    Hello Andrew
    the possibility to enter a signature escaped me as well.
    Ok, then we will give that a try.

    Another possibility (in addition to those already mentioned) is to add "CoCreate" to the group name(s). 

     

    It would be easiest to do it only at the top level (i.e. "Creo Elements Direct" becomes "Creo Elements Direct (CoCreate)" but then it still likely would be confusing to all the folks that already are posting in the wrong sub-forums.

     

    To help that situation, each of the sub-forums could be renamed as well . For example, this forum could be rename "CoCreate Modeling" or "Modeling (CoCreate)". This would (very likely) significantly reduce the number of posts made in the wrong forums. Even if people don't know the CoCreate name, having that in the title would at least give them an idea that the forum might not be the right one. 

     

    As it currently stands, a significant number of the posts in these forums are in the wrong place (which isn't good for anyone).

     

    Would there be any harm in doing something like this? Just trying to make it easier for all involved.

     

    Thanks for listening!

    Hi everyone, as mentioned, we've been working on advisory messages for posting on the community. I wanted to share what I was working on for the Creo Elements Direct boards and get your feedback, since it was this conversation that prompted this.
