When i get a link that a thread has been updated it would be nice that the new posts in that thread have a soft background color to differentiate them from all the existing posts. This is only visible to me and once I have viewed it the first time it would not appear again as I have displayed the thread already.

Hello Everyone, Sometimes we need to save our configuration after big modifications to a stable point. I know that we can take a user configuraton set "UCS" to save our Configuration with the new modification , But what about defining a new object or a stable point which I can save the new configuartion to it after making sure that all services and the Device work well without issues. I suggest this because in busy networks such as ISPs , The governments or Banks ..etc which have several numbers of F5 appliances with multiple administarors to configure these appliances and maintain a huge number of Critical services. So I suggest to define a " Rescue point " and save the new configuration to after validation that all services work well after new changes in configuration files or any change to F5 appliance at all , this will enable us to rollback any new changes that impacted running services or F5 resources .... etc. To show my suggestion more : - when we need to create UCS file We issue ( #tmsh save sys ucs UCS_NAME.ucs ) so similarly we can issue new command to define a " Rescue point " Like this (#tmsh save sys Rescue ) and issue such this command ( #tmsh load sys Rescue ) to rollback again to Rescue point which is a validated stable point for F5 system at all. Briefly : Defining a stable point we can call it the " Rescue point " which contains a Good status for configuration and running services , and Returning back to it again if anyone made a change that impacted the running services.
Also If a Compare option added to F5 to see the difference between " Rescue Configurations " and " New added Configuration " to see exactly what added to F5 Configuration made this impact. Also this will help to restore impacted services quickly without the need of Loading UCS files. This suggestion not a replacement for UCS files , it’s only a light way can help for quick services Restoration , facilitating troublshooting or to be another option for Administrators to Backup their valid changes.

So I have signed up to the daily digest emails for some of the forums and groups here.
That gets me daily emails like this
DevCentral Community: Daily Digest

Re: irule or policy to match url and then update pool members port
Then i see the whole content and then the next and next in the order they were posted. Which means content is mixed if two posts are discussed at the same time.
This becomes quite a long email and depending on the replies tricky to follow.
On another similar website I get a similar daily email that starts like this:
Discussions started 3 days ago, name1 (1 reply) Product integration with Securly MDM external link to thread view 1. I have not seen such an integration. You may ask... name3
started 8 days ago, name2 (11 replies) Product - Connecting from VPN with RDP external link to thread view 2. Did you see this video < name3 3. Yes, I have just seen the first video you... name2 4. any switching of VLANs breaks things like login... name4
So not the full content yet, but a summary per subject with the replies in order and quick first line. After that it will list the full posts, but this first section often is enough to see what I want to look into further. Also makes it easy to spot posts without replies.
For the people that use the Daily Digest (are there any more than me?), is this something you would like to see?

We have roughly a dozen or more F5 appliances and numberous tenants. We were hoping to utilize BigIQ to manage everything from a single pane of glass, but have run into a feature option where we aren't able to add nodes via FQDN. Could you please add that as an option in the next update?

Hi DevCentral Team,
how about adding a "Copy to Clipboard" button to every code snippets posted on DevCentral. Its fancy to have such a button and would make it much easier to handle rather long code snippets...
"One Click" vs. "Selecting text while scrolling to the buttom and then hopefully stopping at the right moment... duh... rinse repeat..."
Cheers, Kai

Hi DevCentral Team,
the usable width of DevCentral content is sometimes very limited. Especially if you enable "Threaded format" (default mode) and post an iRule snipped far deep into a conversation, the <PRE> formated content will become hard to read. Thanks to annoying word-wraps...
TBH... i dont know a single developer which is turning on "word wrap" just to read the code better on very small monitors. Word wrap makes it basically just worse, but miliage may vary for 0,0001% of the human being... 😉
I would like to propose a CSS change to make it easier to read code snippets here on DevCentral.
pre code {
white-space: pre ;
overflow-x: scroll ;
}
Cheers, Kai

Hi DevCentral Team,
The mandatory "review" step is slighly annoying and somehow kills the dynamic of Codeshares. Why do I have to wait a few days till the CodeShare is published and why do I have to wait another few days to correct a simple typo?
Example:
iRule based RADIUS Health Monitor Builder - DevCentral (f5.com)
The Github link at the buttom of the Codeshare got somehow broken during initial publishing. I immediately corrected the link, but now having to wait another couple days till its review is done?
Why even review a CodeShare if such broken links are not detected before approving it?
Cheers, Kai

Relatively minor thing, but it would be nice if the option in the post hyperlink editor had the "Open in new page" option as the default selection. Or, if instead of a global change, maybe this could be a per-user preference?

Want to report a bug.
Running on a MacBook 16" 2021, latest version of Safari I am unable to edit my replies/comments on Devcentral. No error message, failed XHR or js exception.
Chrome works fine though.
Kind regards, Patrik
Ps. Yes, I use Safari. Think like this, could've been IE6. 🙂

I asked a question on another vendor's forum, got a reply and had some back and forth for clarification. That was enough for me, but some days later I got an auto generated email asking if the question was answered and if yes if I could flag it as such. Totally forgot to do so at the end, but of course did so at that moment.
Which seems like a useful function, and I would like to see here to raise the number of answered questions.

Do we have plan to merge NGINX community with F5 community together? Maybe we don't want to merge NGINX OSS part. I think at least we can do NGINX Plus part if possible

From @john-nelson's post, copied here for better visibility:
"When using the BIG-IP Edge client, it frequently (most every day) shows the error "ERR clog1049 - Your MFA login page has timed out. Please disconnect and then try again". Someone told me that this error message is coming from some security module, that this is not in the BIG-IP client, itself. If the BIG-IP client has a way to recognize this type of error (i.e. any error that basically says "you need to disconnect and retry"), that would make it a bit easier to implement.
I would like to request a feature to handle this scenario. I'm not sure of the exact way to implement it. But here is one idea. When the user is actively logging in, and the BIG-IP client encounters any error, it would apply a list of "rules" (maybe it looks at errors and matches each 'rule' using a Regular Expression in the rule). Those rules could be entered by the user, or by the VPN admin team.
So a "rule" could be entered that says, when the user is actively logging in, and the BIG-IP client sees this specific error message, then the "rule" tells the client to disconnect, wait N seconds (e.g. 3 seconds), then retry the login. Naturally, this could support other actions, as well.
Thank you."

Hi team,
yesterday I was accessing this forum question: https://community.f5.com/t5/technical-forum/irule-to-add-trailing-slash-except-for-extensions/m-p/250142#M233836
The iRule formatting is broken. I have seen this in a couple of other forum posts too. I managed to figure it out, since the iRule is rather short. But for longer iRules it is cumbersome. Is there a way to access them on the old platform with the correct formatting? If this old platform still exists at all...
