There are some known issues that are ongoing post-launch. We'll keep you updated on their status in this post. Please subscribe if you'd like to receive a notice when we make changes.
Issue: “Request Entity Too Large” error message
Description: Some users are seeing this error message when navigating or logging into the Community.
Cause: This is a backend issue with third party metrics analytics that set tags on certain URLs, which caused the loading of the page to fail. The tags have been removed, but the cookies are still cached in the user’s browser.
Recommended Action: Clear your cache and cookies and restart your browser.
Issue: Email Notifications
Description: Some users might have received many email notifications since yesterday. We apologize for the inconvenience. We saw three issues:
1) an email notification storm over the last 24 hours,
2) notifications continued after being turned off in subscription settings, and
3) notifications were received for unfamiliar forums.
Causes:
Email storm: Email notifications were still turned on when the community went into maintenance mode and we started adding content to build out the forums. The Cisco team caught it, but not before 70 – 100 notifications had entered the email queue. When we went live, those notifications were automatically sent out.
Notifications continued after subscription updates: This happened because the notifications were already queued up to send when the subscription settings where changed. Unfortunately, the queue continued to clear out, even though we, and you, had turned off notifications.
Notifications received for unfamiliar forums: As part of merging the two community platforms, we consolidated some forums to streamline the experience. Old forums that you were subscribed to may have been merged into a forum with a broader focus. You would have been automatically subscribed to this broader forum as part of the merge. In this scenario, you could consider subscribing to one or more specific labels instead of the entire forum. See the Simpler Community Structure blog to find the new home for your favorite topics.
Recommended Action: Customize your subscriptions and notification settings to your liking. See the How to Manage Your Community Notifications blog for instructions and tips.

Issue: Discussion boards not alphabetized
Description: To make community navigation more intuitive, we are working on alphabetizing the discussion board lists on category pages.

Issue: Posts Count on users' profiles
