FIRST FRC Q&A

[D_Price]

Ok not sure if I am the only one with this problem or if it is due to the Q&A not being open yet but I created a login for the Question and Answer but whenever I try to jump to the other screens it says I am not authorized and need a verification number for the team. Where would I find that number or am I missing something? Thanks!

Your team mentors/coaches have the code you need to be authorized.

I am a team mentor just somehow missed the blog post *brain lapse and it hasn't been a full week into the season yet.

This blog post describes how to get the Q&A authorization code.

Also note that while you can set up and get authorized, Q&A is not actually accepting questions at this time.

That's correct. According to this blog it will open at noon eastern today.

Thank you.

Anybody else not able to "sort" the questions?

I also don't like that the "Hot questions" page isn't numerical... But that might just be because I can't sort...

EDIT: Nevermind there is a link at the top that says "search the Q&A" which opens the sorting drop down menu

I am annoyed that when I star a question that question jumps around on the page.

Edit: I am generally annoyed with the live updating of the Search Q&A page. I do not want the text I am reading to jump because a new question was asked and is now added to the page I am looking at.

Any way to get a simple list of all answered questions?
We can only sort on "Newest Answers", does that mean they will start disappearing never to be seen again?
I don't really care about the Questions as much as I do about the Answers.

Found by hitting more below the new answers on the front page.

Does anyone know how to access the RSS feed for this? I recall that there was one last year, but I can't figure out how to get to it. Would like for these to appear in the team slack.

The "Time to Answer" field seems to be slightly off.

[ATannahill]

Another annoyance, we are 35 questions in and 3 questions ask the same thing and two questions were answered by TU1.

[ATannahill]

So, I just got an email that a question I asked had been answered. That is quite impossible seeing as I did not ask a question, I do not even have the ability to ask questions.

I appreciate all the work the creators put into this system, I hope you understand that the annoyances I am posting are to help you improve upon the system.
