Re: FIRST FRC Q&A

Another request please: I would like to search for a specific Q#. If I type Q11 into the search box, I get only references to Q11 and not the actual Q11.

Can we please just get a list of answers to questions answered to download? The new system is frustrating.

3) Add a time period (# of days) for the "most recent answers". that way I can look for answers since the last time I checked.
Hi Rich,

Creator of the new Q&A system here. Can you elaborate on #2. When I right click on the question and choose open in new tab it seems to work fine. We were having some trouble with our load balancer earlier today which might have been the problem.

Re: FIRST FRC Q&A

To be honest, this system is very hard to use. If I want to read through the questions and answers, I have to sort by newest, then click on each question individually to see the answers. Because of all of this hassle, I have resorted to using the star to mark answered questions that I have read. In previous years, it has been possible to download a pdf of all of the answered questions. Is this a planned feature?

Allowing the user to read the answers to multiple questions on the same page, adding a system to mark read questions, and allowing for a download of a pdf of the questions would vastly improve this system.

I had this problem earlier too. I just tried it using one of the questions on the front page, the question opened in a new tab but went into an infinite refresh loop for some reason. Chrome 55.0.2883.87 m on Windows 7.

Works now. I tried it in IE, FF, and Chrome on Windows 7.

Revised Suggestion: In lieu of Time Period for Newest Answers, how about displaying Time of Answer instead of Time of Question (Asked xx hours ago).

The Question Number is similar enough to Time of Question. I can look at the Time of the Answer to figure out when I get to the point in the list that I have already read.

Thanks.

workaround:
https://frc-qa.firstinspires.org/qa/<qnn>

where "<qnn>" is the question number. so for Question 11:
https://frc-qa.firstinspires.org/qa/11

You can also click on any question. In the URL, change the ending to the question number you want.

There should be a field where you can put in a question number, and the system does it for you.

Re: FIRST FRC Q&A

I'm surprised the system doesn't have the ability to dump all answered questions to a file. That seems like an important feature for teams and inspectors at events. I'd really rather not have to click on and print 300 answers to have them available for reference for myself and my inspectors.

I tried several tines to go to the search page (https://frc-qa.firstinspires.org/search), I am getting put in a refresh loop. I also tried looking at individual pages and the same thing occurred. I then logged out and logged in, and it appeared to be working.

Re: FIRST FRC Q&A

I started a new thread about this and was directed here.

Last year, somebody created an RSS for the Q&A system which populated itself as the GDC answered questions. Are there any plans for making one for this year?

Re: FIRST FRC Q&A

The sort function does not reset the page. Meaning if you are viewing page 3 of newest answers and then switch the sort to newest questions, you will see page 3 of newest questions.
