Those who know us from a long time ago will know we used to have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scichart.com\/questions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online Forum<\/a> (now decommissioned, replaced with <a href=\"http:\/\/support.scichart.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ticket-based support<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/support.scichart.com\/index.php?\/Knowledgebase\/List\/Index\/9\/tutorials\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">knowledgebase<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>What we&#8217;re thinking of doing is<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Going through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scichart.com\/questions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">forum<\/a> and deleting any post which is obsolete (bugs which were fixed, feature requests which were added) leaving only relevant Q&amp;A.<\/li>\n<li>Then, we plan to migrate the entire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scichart.com\/questions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">forum<\/a> to stackoverflow style <a title=\"BETA! We are testing this plugin (not for public use yet)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scichart.com\/questions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Questions &amp; Answer<\/a> and open it up to the community.<\/li>\n<li>Integrating a custom search engine that searches cross-site (<a href=\"http:\/\/support.scichart.com\/index.php?\/Knowledgebase\/List\/Index\/9\/tutorials\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Knowledgebase<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scichart.com\/questions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Community Q&amp;A<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scichart.com\/documentation\/v4.x\/webframe.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">API documentation<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Watch the following video it gives a bit more detail on what we are planning and invites your <a title=\"Contact Us\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scichart.com\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feedback<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><object><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Ultimately we wish to create a community where you are incentivised to answer questions, as well as us. Longer term we are considering providing <strong>rewards<\/strong> to users who have high feedback scores (either discounts in store, renewals or premium listing as a SciChart partner), or allowing you guys to trade reputation points for helping each other.<\/p>\n<p>So, just to be clear, we are planning to keep <a href=\"http:\/\/support.scichart.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">support.scichart.com<\/a>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/support.scichart.com\/index.php?\/Knowledgebase\/List\/Index\/9\/tutorials\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Knowledgebase<\/a> (even upgrading these in features) and private tickets for our enterprise users with rapid response for bug reports and sales\/support questions, but, also open up a <strong>public community<\/strong> to get the full power of parallel-processing from our userbase. We have literally thousands of users and trial users and we would like to see them ask and answer questions on how to get the best out of the SciChart Library.<\/p>\n<p>So, let us know what you think by <a title=\"Contact Us\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scichart.com\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contacting us<\/a>.
