Hi DevCentral Team, I think it's good if u guys can bring back a series article list as before. I understand that we can search the keyword "Series" but it's not organized well as a list and parts of an article as before. From the user perspective (like me) I can not remember exactly the keyword such as http-series, ssl-series ... So I think it's good if we can group them into series so that users can easily use them as before. Appreciate!

I didn't find an article or option to merge f5 community accounts. For example if a person has a company email account and a private one.

What I really miss is to have a chance to filter by "no responses" in the Technical Forum (anyway, I admit this filter doesn't make sense in the rest of the forums).

Removing Codeshare will confuse the community base. My suggestions are as follows...
Rename CrowdSRC to Codeshare.
Instead of having User Submitted Articles under there as well, move them to Articles under a new TAB at the top of the page called "User Submitted" and have article search search them both.

Hi DevCentral Team,
the DevCentral search is very hard to use. Whoever or whatever you search, the matching results wont highlight / reference the exact post where the search pattern matches, the reference will be always the entire conversation and the original question would be highlighted...
I would basically need to crawl all conversations to find some of my previous posts.
Cheers, Kai

Hellooooooooo fair traveller!
I speak to you from the dark days before the world was enlightened, when men were men and women were legendary... When people posted a message and everyone gasped in wonder and amazement at this new electronic medium but no one could see or experience those reactions because there was no means to do so! A whole subculture of though and shared communities was denied us but no more! Spin forward to 2020 and the world has moved on, communities can post a thought and get peoples reactions, emotions, amazement, you get the gist. The most common representation of these feeeeelings.... was an emoticon. A simple yet positve way for people to express their feeling about something. A way to share the love, the laughter, the sadness and humanity of your community.
Yet here we are in 2022 with the most advanced increditble and amazing community software in the world today yet we are denied this simple avenue for human emotion ... in a community no less! I cannot fathom how such decisions are made so point me sir! to the most terrible and dangerous dragon that created such fear in the hearts of man and woman! I will leap onto my glorious steed, pull out my longsword and charge with a yell to slay thee for you all!
Then with mead in hand, sit and drink with my friends from devcentral telling tales of time where emotion was not allowed, people were not permitted to express their appreciation and we can all laugh at a time so long in the past.... it became just another legend!

One thing that I liked with the old site was that when I released a new version of BigIPReport the article ended up at the top. As it is now I feel it's harder for people to find the project and releasing a new version kind of gets forgotten amongst the old articles.
If you want a thriving Code Share I'd propose that updating an article sends it to the top of the list. It'd also make sense to me to separate code contributions to Crowd sources technical articles as they are two fundamentally different beasts. If I want to find new cool/helpful tools it would not make sense to sift through BigIQ How-to's to find what I am looking for.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to bring moderators group in the forum, where a certain privileges allow the moderators to close a thread (when it's already answered) or mark a thread as duplicate, delete phishing posts.
There are so many active users, who would like to contribute for this forum.
Just a food for thought.

Please bring back the upgrade advisor and allow us to do some work using automation instead of reading 9 chapters to do an upgrade. This advisor would relay on my version and what I need as it gets its details from the current Qkview. We need the time we spend on reading documentation in doing our jobs and any tool that helps on that is really essential. Thank you in advance for your consideration to get this tool

When publishing an article, have the platform automatically discover relevant content and include links at the bottom of the article, something like an H2 header that says “Related Content” with some bullet pointed hyperlinks
This improves SEO as web crawlers can more easily discover new content, and drives view counts.

Hi DevCentral Team,
it sometimes happens that questions are pushed out of the first screen of the DevCentral forum while being still actively used.
The DevCentral forum sorts the posts purely based on the date of the original question and not based on lastest comments. This makes it basically impossible to spot new comments made to rather old questions...
The setting "My settings : Preferences : General : Sort topics by" seems to be broken. Even if the mode is set to "Time of most recent post" it will still prefer postings via "Original posting date".
The "Sorted by:" drop down menu on the forums start page does also not include a filter to sort by "Latest changes/comments".
It would be cool if you implement a functionality to display the most recent changes in the forum independently if the change was a new post or a new comment to an existing post.
Cheers, Kai

Hi community,
Sometimes I get emails like summary digests or newsletters that sends content directly to my inbox. I was wondering if this is something we should consider implementing for DevCentral too.
Would you be interested in getting articles/videos/forum posts emailed to you?
If so, do you have an idea of how often you'd like an email like this?
If not, why not?
Here's an example from my inbox:
Let us know your thoughts!

It would be nice if the logon to the community site would persist for a longer period of time or allow us to have a checkbox to "trust" the PC for a period of time. I find that I have to login again every other day or so.

Downloads page allows for selection of Group, Product Line and Version, but then tables for Product Containers and Download files are not in any particular order, making it more difficult to identify the container or file required. Please can these be updated to allow sorting and/or filtering, particularly the container table Thanks, Tim

When we login to F5, 'Help' tab shows details about the available option. Give API or CLI command to search the same in CLI. Ex: Once i open Virtual servers in Local Traffic - Virtual servers -- Help or About section should have CLI command to check the same in CLI. Like ''# list ltm virtual VirstialServer1 '' --> So we get expertise on CLI and create plan to configure in CLI.

Please can the ASM request log filtering options be updated to allow for inclusion and exclusion of multiple Source IP addresses, e.g. individual IPs separated by comma, IP ranges (start - finish) or whole subnets (start/mask). Currently ASM logs can only be filtered on single source IP address and we would like to be able to exclude multiple addresses in the same range to better see traffic coming from other sources. Currently on version 15.1.6

I generated CSRs using the web gui to send to our CA, to replace new device certs. The new certs came back without the client-auth Extended Key Usage attribute set. The documentation is quite clear that it must be, so it's my fault for not communicating that to the CA. But if the CSR had included that EKU in the Requested Extensions, then I wouldn't have had to remember (at least, if my CA honored the request...)

What I've noticed is that when I access to

Without any previous access to an F5 site (let's say, for example using incognito mode), the page is getting stuck loading indefinitely waiting to provide your cookie preferences.
