This is the 6th installment of the wish-list and bug report thread.
This topic is the follow on to the first Wish-list for MATLAB Answer sections and second MATLAB Answers Wish-list #2 (and bug reports). The third started out as New design of the forum - grey on white and the fourth and fifth also grew so large they are slow to load and navigate.
Same idea as the previous ones: one wish (or bug report) per answer, so that people can vote their wishes.
What should you post where?
Next Gen threads (#1): features that would break compatibility with previous versions, but would be nice to have
@anyone posting a new thread when the last one gets too large (about 50 answers seems a reasonable limit per thread), please update this list in all last threads. (if you don't have editing privileges, just post a comment asking someone to do the edit)

Hi @Dyuman Joshi: As Rik mentioned, AI generate answers are a perfect topic for the new Discussions area. You can consider use the Generative AI channel. If you are not sure, General channel is the best place to start. We will soon transfer these wishlist posts to Discussions but for reference only. Going forward, we recommend create seperate thread for each idea, so it's easy to track and update the status. Use ideas channel for ideas and suggestions.
(Answers Dev) @Dyuman Joshi, @Voss this has now been fixed. It may take a little bit for the identifiers to propagate.
(Answers Dev) @Voss, @Dyuman Joshi, an internal infrastructure update has led to this issue. We are hoping to release a fix for this shortly. It will likely log you out of Answers since the Answers cookie was affected as well. Once you log back in you should be all set.
I am unable to see status (EDITOR or MVP or Rising Star) of contributors on MATLAB Answers.
I can see the Staff tags, but the status symbols are missing for them as well.
Is it missing for everybody or is it just me?
Hi @Rik
I've been enjoying the forum and appreciate the efforts to make it user-friendly. I wanted to suggest a feature that could enhance the user experience, especially when dealing with lengthy codes in multiple updates.
While I'm aware of the Page Up/Page Down keys, I believe it would be beneficial to introduce a "Show/Hide" button tag (commonly known as the "Spoiler" tag).
This button could have the functionality to hide and show lengthy code, explanatory text, or images. Such a feature would prove useful in various scenarios:- Streamlining the user experience by reducing space.
- Making it quicker to scroll through answers and comments.
- Allowing users to reveal code only when they choose to.
I understand if there are considerations to take into account, but I believe this addition could significantly improve the overall usability of the forum. Thank you for considering my suggestion.
Thank you for the 'EDITOR' tag and for fixing the issue. I would also like to express my gratitude to @Dyuman Joshi for bringing attention to this matter.
