Is this the Python Forums?

JamesCrandall — Tue, 08 Jul 2014 12:59:35 GMT

Is this GIS Developers section where I'd ask/post about Python related items?

I have to admit I am entirely lost on the this new format as it is such a drastic departure from any logical approach to an forum I've been a part of.

There is a specific python section ( Python‌ ) and you may want to check out the Geoprocessing site in the Communities section for other options

Thanks Dan!

So, I am guessing that all of the posts are gone from the old forums as I don't see anything in the new Python section.

I don't think they are done with the migration...in the interim, you can still search the old forums, but they are in read-only format

The old forums did get ported over, if you search content and show oldest date created it has threads from 2009 to present in the new geonet community. I agree though this new format for the forums will take alot of getting use to. Perhaps if they had a forum guide or tutorial posted it would be more helpful.

If I click the "Forums" menu item from the ArcGIS Resources pages it automatically takes me here to GeoNet. I don't see any way to get at all of my old posts!

Hi Ian!

I searched my username but none of my old posts show up. Maybe I am doing something wrong?

Thanks!

I saw this: New Forums are on the Way! | ArcGIS Blog‌

"...As for the current Discussion Forum and its over 100,000 threads, nothing will be lost. It is all being imported into GeoNet, tagged, browsable, indexed, and searchable."

I must be doing something wrong because I am not seeing how to browse python topics.

Not according to Timothy in https://community.esri.com/thread/95360?sr=stream&ru=5258

"As for the current Discussion Forum and its over 100,000 threads, nothing will be lost. It is all being imported into GeoNet, tagged, browsable, indexed, and searchable."

That was his original post and I didn't see anything subsequent to overrule that statement. Easiest way to find posts are by going to the contents tab, then you can search by text. Also, it would help if we follow streams, or people then we can search by who we are following as well.

You can also find topics you have authored, or ones you are following(i.e. you replied to in the past) by selected them over on the right side.

It is somewhat infuriating that one cannot edit a post they have already made(or at least I can't figure it out!)

The discussion "Polar Bears and Their Use as GPS Tools" has been deleted .... it was just plain silly.

For archived discussions prior to late 2010, bang on this - HOME - ESRI Discussion Forums‌

TheoFaull — Tue, 08 Jul 2014 14:59:39 GMT

im lost. I want to visit the ArcGIS for desktop discussion area. how can I do this?

Re: Is this the Python Forums?

ChristinaSullivan — Tue, 08 Jul 2014 15:05:51 GMT

Hello Ian and all - Check out the Discussions Lobby‌ and there are lots of helpful hints at the top

Also, the "edit" button is directly on the Left of each post, under "Actions"

more docs and training guides in Community Help‌

Re: Is this the Python Forums?

JamesCrandall — Tue, 08 Jul 2014 15:38:29 GMT

I know.

Re: Is this the Python Forums?

IanMurray — Tue, 08 Jul 2014 15:38:39 GMT

There is an edit option under actions if I try to edit it while viewing the thread under the content tab. Right now under the home tab > recent activity (stream?), from which I am replying now, when I go to actions it says "No Actions Available."

Perhaps this should be fixed

That was the best format of all the board layouts! I LOVED how you could collapse all of the sections and only keep what you wanted to view.

Unfortunately, I was referencing the forums that were there yesterday, not 2010.

Thanks!
