Initial Landing View

• Leaners with existing activity My Posts entries should be taken to this view.

• Learners with no existing discussion activity should see All Posts, not the Topics view as their initial page view.

Update Discussions Height in Main MFE on Post Load

Determine way to update iframe size for LTI block if discussions post has content longer than the current iframe, eliminating need for scrolling on the right sidebar, and forcing the footer further down the page.

Yet to be groomed. Ignore for now.

Questions have responses that can be Marked as Answer; Discussions have responses / comments that can be Endorsed.
The heading language “Showing 1 endorsed response” isn’t accurate currently on a tested question post type, the response was marked “endorsed” even though it was a question and should have been the answer.

URL Improvements

Non-critical for now but it would be helpful to ensure discussion forums can link to specific post areas even in the main discussion application, meaning the URLs should be updated with some sort of URL pattern that would link users to the specific post being viewed. (Some questions here on requirements so not immediately actionable but marking here for now regardless.

Padding in TinyMCE text input areas - currently text is all the way up to the left but some space should exist between the input area boundary on all sides.

Update configured TinyMCE plugins - we should look into a wider range of plugins, not quite as broad as what we plan to do for the Text Editor, but other options would be valuable including:

• special character entry

• code formatted text

• emoji entry

Reloading a page when a post is visible, should reload the same post. However it redirects to the topics list as seen below.

API call to fetch posts in new MFE takes longer some times even for a course with 5 learners and 10 posts.

Not high priority item. Feedback from jfay on loading icon pending.

Add icons to paragon and discussions experience

Post view area should extend to the bottom of the iframe.

Follow button on post summary is not working as intended upon mouse-over and when clicked.

Navigating to Topics tab does not send the api call to update topic stats.

Post “reported” in legacy is not marked as reported in the new MFE.

From edX team via feedback button (link):

“Bug: If searching for a specific username in the new experience, no results are displayed. This is a big issue for internal teams and course teams.”

Need grooming.

Drop shadow of discussion navigation bar seems different.

My Posts tab showing posts not linked to user.

Some course roles are unable to access the new MFE

In reference to Nav bar:

• Navigation tabs “All posts”, “My posts” and “Topics are not visible

• Search box is not visible

• A “Close icon” is visible towards the far right

Marked Answer message bar - username link colour needs updating

Currently the username of the person who marked a response as the answer renders in a standard link colour but this needs to be white to be readable against the green background

Answered and Endorsed markers are missing on responses in new MFE.

Sort option missing for responses.

Deferred for future milestone.

From edX team via feedback button (link):

“UX: Posts and topics, font, etc. are too big and not easy to navigate. In a 13" laptop 1 post almost fills up. Same when Adding a post. Could make things smaller and make the blank box to fill up a text bigger. It's too small and if you're adding a big text, you can lost track of it easily.”

Prod: Message counts on DemoX course looks weird.

Not possible to verify until next time we enable new MFE on prod.

From edX team via feedback button (link):

“Bug: If reverting to the legacy experience and searching, then clicking "show posts by {username}" , it automatically reverts to the new experience.”

Navigating to a topic from “Related to” field is not working.

Not working. Clicking topic name routes to xblock of the topic instead of the topic in the Topics tab.

Response/ comment content persists in the editor even after the response/comment has been submitted.

Following filter options are not working as intended:

1. Discussion

2. Question

3. Following

Almost working. Discussion filter fetches questions too but this was anticipated and will require more changes than are necessary before educator rollout.
