All,
I have noticed a few posts that have made some suggestions about forum enhancements.
As we're migrating and enhancing the site, there may be an opportunity to enhance the forum, as well. Some of the suggestions I have seen are:
If you have any opinions on these or other enhancements/modifications, please post here or email me directly at david.lively@arm.com.
Awesome.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
Another thing. Sometimes, people manages to post a comment to a old thread. Don't know if it was read-only before, but the thread gets to the top of the list in read-only mode with one fresh comment and impossible for other people to respond to. If read-only, no comment should have been added in the first place.
This is also an interesting thread: http://www.keil.com/forum/docs/thread16629.asp Did show up as having a new comment today 01:06 and in total 3 responses. But when I open the thread, it has only two responses - both very old.
Somehow, there seems to be a locking/update problem, where additions of posts and updates of the thread doesn't get atomically processed.
David Lively,
I hope you realize that once you've updated the forum, you'll get a lot of suggestions (in the form of complaints) about what should and shouldn't be done. Personally, I'm fine with the forum the way it is, and welcome the suggestions above. I'm not fond of the "stackoverflow.com" Q & A style. I'll live with whatever Keil decides to implement. I just want you to realize that any major change and you'll get plenty of whiners and complainers suddenly providing 'suggestions' AFTER you've implemented a forum 'upgrade.' My comment on more colors was just that I thought it would be nice to have a few colors within the code. This way a code fragment can be [copied and] edited to show RED for warning/error and possibly GREEN for Keep/Good/Corrected code. And blue for 'optional' or whatever people decide to do for the various [few] colors provided. Obviously, people like Per and others are regular contributors and their words of wisdom should rate more than most (like me).

All changes generate mixed feelings. The question/answer format is a personal preference and is probably too much of a departure from what's been working here for so long, but a lot of the other requests look reasonable and doable.
Thanks for the input.
