"Ideas" tab is missing?

[MikeArmstrong]

I don't recall seeing it, then again don't you have to have active maintenance to register an idea in that section?

[Werner_E]

I guess Vladimir has active maintanace. At least I sure have and I also don't see the Idea tab, I see no option to create an idea myself and furthermore I don't see any of the ideas (there was a new one posted yesterday in the Mathcad subspace about Smith charts) which were already posted in the "Recent Contenet" widget.

Either a temporary failure in the forum system or they have decided to abandeon that kind of placebo and forgot to tell us about.

I don't miss that feature but if this concerns anybody I guess"Community Help" is the right place to ask: http://communities.ptc.com/groups/community-roundup?view=discussions

Still cannot understand why PTC require users to have active maintenance to be able to post in the ideas section. Anyhow, let's not get back into that.

More likely the latter

I'm not really that interested either.....

I just gave it a try. If you go to BROWSE at the top line menu of this page you get the option of viewing Product Ideas. So they still seem to be here. When I try to view them, I get a message that I have no permissions to do so.

Maybe an active maintanance is not enough to enter this holy area - could it be we are supposed to pay extra now for the doubtful privilege to express our wishes? Sending the idea to devnul probably has the same effect and is much cheaper 😉

I just see an announcement at the top:

Announcement: Product Ideas currently unavailable

Last night we began to see reports from members who were unable to see content from Product Ideas. We are working on resolving this issue with our software provider and will update when we have a fix. Thanks for your patience.

Cheers Werner, not that it has any impact on me either way 🙂

[Werner_E]

You are not relieved that you don't have to pay extra for that "service"? Neither am I.

[MikeArmstrong]

Surprisingly not

[ryankelley]

Product Ideas are back by the way. Sorry for the delay in my response.

[MikeArmstrong]

Great! I take it is still for 'active maintenance' only users though

[ryankelley]

Correct, no changes to who can access this content are imminent.

[MikeArmstrong]

Cheers Ryan

Maybe you can pass my ideas then??? Or I can wait for the beta testing and pass them there again 🙂

[VladimirN]

And what kind of ideas?

[MikeArmstrong]

For the developement of Mathcad.
