Getting started with your Nintex Connect Community

The new portal looks nice but where has the possibility gone to insert images from the clipboard to new posts? I didn't find how to insert or upload images directly while writing a post...?!

I didn't find how to insert or upload images directly while writing a post...?!

Yeah... this is a rather unfortunate thing. There is however a bit of a workaround at the moment. 

Click on the Photos button:

And from there, you should be able to paste your photos directly into that window. You can also set positional information and size (large is a 1:1 scale). Sadly you don't seem to be able to resize after the fact, even though it looks as if you can. 

Hope this helps. 

@lonesurvivor: No prob. Also, the Kudos button currently has some silly css / event placements applied to it that makes it look as if it's disabled if you're not hovering directly over the thumbs-up Icon!

Logged into FireFox now and it's working the same as Chrome I dunno! If you have a script blocker on or something that might also be causing interference.

EDIT: Waiiit a second... You're right. On *some* posts it's completely turned off, for others it's just the half and half (where only the hand will let you click it), and finally for some posts it's totally correct where the entire thing acts as a button!

Guess it's another bug to report!

There are no more blog posts (unfortunately), just regular posts (even though that doesn't stop you from specifying that you're trying to have a discussion / make a tutorial at the top of your regular post). 

To make a regular post, go to the 'Forums' slideout on the lefthand side: 

and then use the 'Create A Post' button on the lefthand side:

I hope this helps. 

Thanks @lonesurvivor , @graham @graham @nj for your responses.

Let me take a moment and comment on them as I can.

1. copy/paste images - this was an identified issue early on, yet is how the platform works currently and not something we have a setting to enable or disable. That being said, I have confirmed it is on their roadmap and should be available at some point in the future. As soon as we get it enabled, I'll post something in the community news area.


2. kudos - the kudos does work in a funky way. You have to click on the thumb and not on the word. I'm researching if we can modify this all together.


3. kudos on certain post - one thing to note, the system will not allow you to give a kudo on your own content. If you have seen it disabled on a different post, please ping me the url so I can take a look at that.


4. blog post - you are correct that this has been pulled from the forums and centralized under the community blogs area that is hidden for now. This is not permanent, but we are experimenting with making it better to post value-added content to the community. With that being said, we are also working on a few updates to the community which will include granting certain users the ability to post blogs, so stay tuned as we roll this out. 

Hope this information helps you see where things are and also that we value your feedback. I will update more post as things change in the community.

@eharris04 thanks for the work-around. BTW, is this the appropriate thread to provide feedback on the new forum? Because another thing I'd like to raise/ask is why usernames are shown instead of 'display names' throughout the forum. This is different from the previous forum, so I'm just wondering if this a deliberate choice or if there are plans to change back to display name.

Personally I find interacting with display names (especially when tagging) to be a much better user experience and improves readability compared to user or login names.
