This should probably be broken up into several bug reports, but: 1. I'm pretty sure there is already an open bug report for this.
2a. I'd imagine it's okay to ask anything that is actually a question. We do get a lot of bug reports there that aren't actually questions at all. This could probably be helped with a better "submit an answer" page 2b. this goes back to point 1 of course. It'd probably be good to separate questions by OS version. This would drastically reduce the number of questions presented to a user and focus them on relevant content. 3. I agree, I don't like the ad placement here. 4. The point of not showing avatars for questions and answers is that what's important is the content itself. We don't want to have power users who are voted up (or some who are ignored) just because of who they are. The actual answer is the important part. 5. I think there's already an open bug report for this too, but yes this could solve some problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Elementary Website Team, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/821468 Title: The Answers system is turning into a massive mess Status in The official elementary website: Confirmed Bug description: 1) Nothing is categorized or tagged. 2) It's unclear what users can post and can't post. For instance, aroman recently posted that the Q&A system isnt for technical support -which has certainly confused myself. There's also too many questions about unstable software. If we fixed 1) above, then we could have a tag called unstable. 3) Half of the page is wasted by a massive ad. 4) It lacks community feel. We need avatars to show up. It'd be nice to have threads (of the sticky sort) by official roles within elementary (eg khampal from the web team) asking users questions. 5) Creating Answers/Questions form is unfriendly. Ideally a discussions between council members, web team members, moderators, press team guys needs to be held at some point too.
