The Corona forums are littered more and more!

Maybe a read only FAQ area in forum that provides links to answers to question that are asked over and over. And some links need to more visible like code exchange and docs and tutorial links in a side bar or top of every page

I completely agree as well.

One point I’d like to add is that we need the ability to report posts so we as a community can help the moderators. There is no way for us to point out an apparent spam post or a post that needs to be moved somewhere etc. The report post button is there but it does not work. This issue was raised few months ago but no change so far.

I totally share the sentiment expressed under this thread too.

I’m pleased to hear that I’m not the only one feeling that way. There were already some quite nice suggestions what could be done.

Now it would be great to hear the suggestions and opinions of some moderators, cause they might know better in which way the changes can be achieved. Also they have to take the lead if the changes should be “official” I think.

The team has been discussing this thread and are discussing options.  You have made some very valid points and offered some suggestions that might work.   We have to consider a lot of factors including capacities of the forum software that we use to try and solve this. 

@ksan you can report posts.  We get reports from members every couple of days.

One thing that may help is that when we answer a question, always try to include a link to a part of the API docs that match up. Not every question will work out, but if someone’s asking about transition.to, or rotating text, etc., there are API pages that would be helpful.

If we can get people used to heading to the API docs when they have questions it may help. To that end I created a topic in the Newbies section on using the online docs:

I don’t think the problem will ever go away, but maybe we can some up with some things that will slow it down a bit.

Jay, this was a great video and I’ve pinned it in the Newbie forum.  But as noted above, we will see how many hits it gets.    Thank you for doing that.
