Any plan for an Italian Studio U community too?
â02-12-2019 06:47 PM
Hey @andreacolangelo, we decide when to start a new international community based on a number of factors and part of that is instructor demand and engagement. If we see a lot of instructors from a certain locale (like Italy) participating a lot in our current communities, weâre more likely to start a space just for them!

Thanks for putting so much effort into the new community site!
â02-05-2019 01:17 PM
Great job by Udemy's Team. Detailed explanation on how to navigate. love it.

Whenever I press the like button on any of the post , it doesnt give me an indication that I have already liked the post like in facebook . It still stays the same color.
I think sometimes this can get irritating when we are revisiting posts later .
â02-11-2019 08:30 AM
I second that idea. Also emotions than just âlikeâ would be fun.
â02-12-2019 06:45 PM
Thanks for the feedback! I've shared this with the team and we'll see what we can do about getting this updated
â04-27-2019 03:30 PM
Yes, you are right!

I didn't find a board that seemed more appropriate to post this request so I guess this will make me now have 2 requests
1) Could we have a "follow" feature in this community? There are some instructors that are constantly writing helpful post or replying to others with very helpfull tips. In short, most of the things they write are worth reading. I'd love to be able to follow them. I tried searching for their name and I got no results.
2) Perhaps we could add a "Features Requests Board" for posts like this one?
Thanks Udemy, nice being here =)

yeeeh, I miss Scott Duffy
â02-10-2019 07:11 AM
It was actually him I was trying to find. Eventually I searched only for Scott and all user names with variations of "Scott" came up. So I did find him, the thing is that you get a list of all the post he has posted so far which, luckily, by now are not many yet.
However when he has written 50 or 100 or more comments it could become a little confusing.
I hope someone from Udemy is reading this...
â02-11-2019 10:05 AM
Hi Myriam,
A Follow feature seems useful.
How about a "block" feature?
Just kidding. I'm glad we don't have it.
â02-11-2019 10:43 AM - edited â02-11-2019 10:45 AM
@MyriamZuzs To search for a person, put in their username, search, and then select "Users". You'll be able to find them that way!
Here's a screenshot:
You can leave feature requests on this thread (which is where I'm going to move this thread to once I hit reply!).
