Re: FIRST FRC Q&A
As it stands, the QA system is unusable. Trying to read all the answers starting from question 1. This is the sequence of clicks I need to go through:
1) Scroll to bottom of page. 2) Click the 10 box. 3) Scroll to bottom of page. 4) Click the 11 box. 5) Scroll to bottom of page. 6) Click the #1 question. 7) Read the answer. 8) Hit the back button. Which takes me back to question 114 (at this time). 9) Goto step 1. Repeat 114 times. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? And not to just be a complainer, please accept these suggestions for improvement. - Don't require a click to a separate webpage to view the answer to a question. Just print it under the question, so we can quickly scroll through the list. I see that clicking on the question takes you to a webpage with stats about the question. I don't care about the stats. I just want to see the answer. - Make clicking on the question take you to the webpage with the question stats, or even keep the answer there. Just put the answer under the question without making me click to a separate page. - When I hit the back button, take me back to the page I came from, not the top of the list. - Fix the sort drop down menu at the top of the page. When I hover over it, I get a "don't do that" icon. Seriously, I and the other mentors on my team have given up trying to read the answers. I just don't have the hours it would take to use this system. |
Re: FIRST FRC Q&A
Hi Todd,
I understand your frustrations. We are working on a fix that will help with the readability of the answers. For now the best way is to see just the answered questions on this page: https://frc-qa.firstinspires.org/qa/answered As others have pointed out a right click and open in new tab will allow you to keep your place. Sorry this is so frustrating for you. Blake Quote:

Re: FIRST FRC Q&A
I hope they are able to fix some of these issues. The site is pretty unusable as is.

Re: FIRST FRC Q&A
Before I looked here, I checked out the Q&A site.
I had the same reaction as many of the people that posted. Yes, having the answer right below the question is key. Not having a way to return to from the answer is important until the answer is posted under the question. If you can combine Q with A, the return problem is eliminated. When a file (pdf maybe) of the Q & A's are available, I would like it organized by time (first question, then 2nd question... As an enhancement, use the viewers search settings to organize the output. I'm using FireFox 50.1 with win 7 and was able to open the answers in a new tab. I was able to sort by oldest. That gave me the results in the order that they were submitted. It was easy to see the progress of the answer team by doing it this way as most of the early questions were answered and down the line they are mostly unanswered. I also like the fact that each Q and A has a unique url. That way I can share it with my team by simply copying and pasting the url into an email. There was a statement in the intro about how the new system would be integrated into the manual. Can anyone explain how that works? I was hoping that there would be a link from the answer to the associated paragraph in the manual. Does this function exist or is it going to be part of a future upgrade? |

Further any question that FIRST Staff post that has a rule in ie: I04 that blue icon in the text is a link to that rule in the manual. |
Re: FIRST FRC Q&A
How about a CD thread where people post a question with its answer. Not sortable, but would be, roughly, in Answer order.

All I want from the Q&A system is a way to get a simple file (PDF would be awesome) of all the questions with their answers (if answered), so that I can just "read" the Q&A to see what questions have been asked, along with their answers (if answered yet).
The old system used to do the above, and was basically the only way I ever used the old system, other than to ask a question. Attached is an example of one of the PDF files from the old system. It seems like the request for a "read all the Q&A questions and answers without any additional clicking" is the most common one in this thread, by far: Quote:
