How can I put my own road network instead of this default road network
Used to be able to sort a community page by latest activity, now all I see are these:
Even though it says Sort/Filter, it is pretty much a filter (except for the Created option) and sort seems to be automatic by date.
Even the Created options appears to sort by creation date, not latest activity.
So, how do I sort to bring the posts with the latest replies to the top, answered or not?
Thanks,

Please fix the sort on the communities.
I have since noticed the "Sort by Latest Post Date" under the options button, but, does absolutely nothing, at least in the way of sorting.
So, even if you have the "Filter" set to "Created", it still only sorts by Topic Start Date, but never by Latest Post date. At least, no way to sort by the latest replies to posts, which is the "standard" for most forums.
Not sure why the new Community would do away with this option (which, until now was ESRI's Default sort for forums), but it makes it pretty much impossible to actually follow the post activities.
Makes no sense to have to scroll through pages of post to find the one that was answered/replied to two minutes ago 50+ posts down in the list............. If it was just responded to, move it to the top like the rest of the world.
Please FIX so users can actually follow the posts as there are replies.
If this option does exist, it is hidden very well. please advise on how to access it.
Thanks,

@RhettZufelt Thank you again for your feedback. we are continually working to fix and improve the sorts/filters options we will take your feedback under review. An option to not miss any of the posts, you might choose to subscribe to a post or board and then take a look at your subscription notification options and change the setting to all posts. then you can track new replies through your notification feed:
again thank you for the feedback.
@rzufelt thank you for your comment/feedback. In regards to the filter/sort, that dropdown changes based on what page you are on but the title may not change, so you are correct sometimes it is just a filter depending on the page. Since the default for that type of page is already set to latest activity, and the created wort will maintain the default latest activity. Sorry if this is confusing.
@MichelleMathias This is why I suggested to "fix" the sort feature, as the default sort is not the latest activity as one would expect, OR does not appear to be working correctly.
If it is working correctly, why are the last updated times/days not in a sequential order?
Am I missing something here?
They are, however, in the order that the post was originally created.
Thanks,

Hello!
I'm new to the Community and first of all, I wanted to subscribe to some products and topics. Problem is I can't subscribe to anything. When I click Subscribe, nothing happens. In the demo a new pop-up window opens (attached image), but in my case nothing opens.
Thanks!
