    Allen , are you going to publish Release notes on monthly basis? If so I'll wait for next one and after that try to summarise what I miss in current release. Actually practically all questions were articulated in comments to upgrade. Some are closed, but many are not.

      SergeiBaklan Sorry about the delay in a reply here, I somehow missed the notification about your question.

      We will issue release notes every time we release new member facing features. This doesn't happen every month as sometimes we are focusing on things to support business activities or a specific sub section of users.

    When pressing on Like notification it takes you to your comment that has been liked. If you then go back on mobile it scrolls to the top, then back to comment and then does it again. Stays on the article page. If you go back again, it will go past Notifications page to the page you were before pressing on Notifications bell.

    We hear you on the sign in issues, we continue to explore options with engineering. This update was just fixing a few bugs and releasing some extra tools for internal use.

    noting what you said about the email notifications, mine work ok (except for the example given by Detlef_Lewin
    We will come back and look at that in a future release.

    The banners jumping around is not our intended experience and we have been told by engineering that they are working on a fix for that, watch this space. As for the physical size of them, we have heard this feedback a few times and so we will take that onboard as we make future changes to the platform.

    The title of the conversation is: Microsoft Tech Community Release Notes – 12/09/24

    Situation with sign in has improved, but it still logs me out too often.

    As email notifications are not useful i have to use web notifications for comments. And having to scroll past whole article to comments is annoying. It should scroll you to first one automatically from notification.

    I could do without banners, they are huge for no reason, take longer to load that other content which makes it jumpy while loading.
