PTC Community Feedback

Doesn't look like there is an idea space for the community as a whole so I am putting this here.   Sometimes I have a product idea that becomes current functionality despite it not getting a lot of votes and bubbling up to the top of the list (enough for a moderator to flag it as current functionality). For these cases it would be nice to be able to retire the idea or to flip the switch to "current functionality" if I know it has already been incorporated in a newer release.   To be clear the functionality would only be turned on for the original poster to retire his or her own idea.

Recently went to send someone a message and had the drop down from their name to the "Send Message" box. Typed my message and sent it. When I got a reply back, it wasn't from the person that I sent the message.   Just a found out the the "Send Message" button brings you to the messaging app within the software, it does not start a message from the person from which you clicked "Send Message"   Not sure if this is works as intended or it is a bug.

"Mathcad Support Center": https://support.ptc.com/support/mathcad_supportCenterOpt.htm

The "Resource for Reporting" topic found here is a page that was migrated from the old Jive community. It contains several links to attachments that no longer are valid, including ones like this:   https://community.ptc.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/8686-2-111791/ADMINISTRATIVE_Total%20EPMDocuments%20and%20File%20Size%20by%20Context.qml.zip   Were the attachments migrated over? If so, is there a way to update these links so they are valid again?  

If you get an email because someone commented on an idea you posted to the community, the contained link pointing to the comment will give an error message "Idea Not Found. The idea you are trying to access is not available.", if you are not logged in. I suggest to change the message to something more correct/obvious, so the users knows the idea is there, but that he has to login to access it.  

Dear Community, trying to suggest an idea how to improve Creo, I fail to "suggest an idea". When I move to the button, I get a forbidden-sign. Is that because of my status (newby / basic member)? Cheers Hauke

When getting an answer to a question that something cannot be done, can we have a "solution" be No Solution Available or some such designation (red X or a circle with a line through is instead of a green check mark) vs (1) Accepted Solution to a question that has been answered but not with a fix or work around.

Community,   I went to the eSupport page yesterday, and I noticed my posts from the Community were listed.  Is this a default where only I see my posts on the eSupport page?

Community,   How can I hide myself from public view?  Public view will show my recent posts, and I just figured out how to hid all my photos and images from the public.  But the topic of my posts, date-and-time, still shows up in public.       Thanks in advance.

Seriously, there's better places for these, especially since some of these techniques I was doing way back in 2000.....   That is all...

This is a test to see if the community is experiencing double posts this morning. I read it on someone else's post and on the humor post in PTCooler.   https://community.ptc.com/t5/PTCooler-OffTopic/2020-05-22-Friday-Humor-Over-designed/m-p/667431#M532

On top of the Mathcad community forum list is an empty picture that takes up a screen full of space. Please remove it, it's very annoying and could scare customers away!   Luc

Community,   Is there a way to hide my photos from public view?  Thanks in advance.

Did anyone else get this when they logged into this site?    

I've seen this twice in as many days.   https://community.ptc.com/t5/Part-Modeling/Extrude-from-two-perpendicular-sketches/m-p/657597#M33884 In this post, I replied to the OP's reply to me.  When I posted my reply, it was attached to someone else's reply unrelated to what OP and I were discussing.  I tried to edit my reply and the editor said it was in reply to the OP which is what I intended.  Indeed, my reply says at the top "in response to nsgoldberg".   https://community.ptc.com/t5/Part-Modeling/CREO-6-0-LATTICE-ERROR/td-p/657801 In this post, the OP replied to my reply.  Except his reply was attached to someone else's reply.  I don't think he mistakenly replied to the wrong person because it says right at the top of his post "in response to arames".   This is like when PTC scrambled the entire GD forum by repeatedly changing the software it ran on (3+ times now?).  Many comments in older posts are now out-of-order, discussions/threads c

Is everyone else still getting their emails from this site?  The last one I got was January 27.

@Jaime_Lee ,   I am reporting problem mentioned in Subject.   Go to https://community.ptc.com/t5/Detailing-MBD-MBE/Column-Model-Rep/m-p/646644 discussion and click -1-2.PNG link (https://community.ptc.com/t5/Detailing-MBD-MBE/Column-Model-Rep/m-p/646644/thread-id/28579?attachment-id=74355 ) You will see following error message: You have to download the picture to see it.   I can reproduce the problem in current Chrome and Firefox.   Best regards   Martin Hanak

For a couple of weeks we've been able to enjoy a beutifully working functionality on this forum:😁 Copy and direct past of pictures, or even Mathcad equations.🤗 All of a sudden it's gone.😞 What happened? Didn't we praise it enough, or was the forum software updated...   Luc

I wanted to add a post to the Windchill Tips board but the Start a Topic button is grayed out.  How come?

Came across this today on the SolidWorks website.  I hope some day PTC gets to the point where they seriously consider ALL product ideas, not just those that hit a certain threshold.  Today the product ideas feel like a big black hole.  For the vast majority of ideas we have no idea if a product manager has seen the idea, what they think of it, or how it fits into the roadmap.   Every year, our users submit thousands of enhancement requests for our solution portfolio. We review all user requests, prioritize the ones we will work on and release enhancements with our annual major release in September as well as service packs throughout the year.  (emphasis mine)

On my mobile phone currently there is no letter sybmol to access the private messages (https://community.ptc.com/t5/notes/privatenotespage). I assume, this is a general limitation on mobile devices. Could you please change this behaviour, so that I can easily access my private messages on mobile devices too?

This is excellent news!  Thank you for the effort put into making this available.  

I was wondering how often this new feature updates on your home page here.  I've been seeing the attached everytime I login, while the subject it mentions has not had a new comment since 8-15-2019.  I login here regularly, if that matters.  

I very seldom go to the PTC Community Home page, but when I did, this was waiting for me. Lukas had replied several hours earlier, and Stephen about a week ago. Why would this still be there after I have already gone to the topics from the little "bell" on the top of the page?
