Where's propopsal/ideas gone in the new forum?

Last week I noticed there was an "ideas" area available here to suggest new features in public.

I want to transfer one of my suggestions to there, but after the forum migration I can't find it anymore.

Can someone please point me to the right direction?

Hi,

I've gone through a few forum upgrades and lots of stuff tends to be broken on an upgrade. Sadly that's how progress works. However by reporting the issues they can be looked at and addressed, so thanks for the report!

FWIW, I have reported your question at the VMTN moderator slack (/cc @jennivmtn )
For vSphere there is an alternative ( https://vsphere.ideas.aha.io/ideas ) perhaps it is an idea for VMware to create a similar space for Workstation/Fusion.

Hope this helps,

I was told by Jenni last week that it will be up to the individual Community (SDDC, Networking, Digital Workspace, etc) owners to add the equivalent of Ideas to their respective areas.

Where do we report issues after the site update?

One weird thing that is happening for me is that I am constantly logged out of the site quickly.  I have to keep logging back in over and over.  I am not finding a way to remain logged in (or at least extend the period prior to being logged out).

I reported the same myself, the site administrators are looking into it.

This thread can be used to report other issues: https://communities.vmware.com/t5/Platform-Status/VMTN-Community-Upgrade-to-Khoros/m-p/2807423#M7

Hmm ... Can I do something to get this issue (related to Ideas forum missing) processed any further?

Is it an idea from the old platform, or something new you wanted to post?

Hi, Scott,

I originally posted it as a plain discussion in the forums. And I submitted it through the official Feature Request page, too, like you suggested.

https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/Focus-inadvertently-changed-to-host-please-...

I feel this is an important feature request, preventing data loss and security issues. Up to today, I regularly lose data because of this missing feature.

The original, old thread isn't visited by anyone, because it isn't designated to be an idea, so none of the other users can see it and vote for it.

I was hoping that VMware introduced the new Ideas forum so users may focus on the ideas mentioned therein and vote for them, so VMware may decide based on user votes whether to implement features.

Right now the only thing I can suggest is to send a PM to Mike: https://communities.vmware.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/767659
