Meet the Community Team
There’s an amazing team working on the front lines and behind the scenes of the Khoros Community to provide its members with all the tools and solutions they need to be successful. You can find out more about our team members below. There are many more who actively assist on the community on a day to day basis, and we'll be adding to this list over time. Feel free to reach out to any of them any time you have questions, suggestions or just want to say hi! Blake Hall / BlakeH (Community Manager) Blake enjoys building the Atlas community with all of you. He loves supporting helpful members and aligning the community with best practices. He also enjoys gaming, exercising, reading, and churning up some ice cream (including a brand new flavor almost every week!). Cory DeWitt / CoryD(Senior Content Marketing Manager) Bio coming soon! Kathy Hein / KathyH (Team Lead, Community) Kathy comes from Texas, where she lives the nice, quiet rural life by herself. She started with Khoros five years ago and couldn't imagine ever working for another company. After starting as a moderator, she's worked her way up to Team Lead, a job she loves as she's been involved in such positions since the internet was a thing, working for various gaming forums and companies before joining Khoros. In her spare time she loves any kind of crafting, and has a serious yarn addiction (she promises, just a few more skeins...). She also loves movies, especially sci-fi and superhero, and is proud to be a Marvel fangirl (although there is a bit of room for DC in there too ha!).

Hey Claudius Are you looking for the user drop down menus specifically or are you just trying to give them a link? I just tested and when granting that permission I can then see the Community Dashboard with Publishing linked within it on prod. Cheers, AndyRe: How to add a detailed description to a board
Hi Kameron29 You need to make sure you have the Node Detailed Description (common.widget.node-description) component added on the Idea Exchange Page quilt in Studio. You can find it under the Node section on the right hand column. Hope that helps. Cheers, AndyRe: How We Built It: Access Signposting
Hi cjdinger Settings list editor can be enabled by Services or Support where they can expose individual settings that can then be managed via the admin for custom components. Note that extensive custom settings work may require a Services engagement. These can include things like custom banners if you need to set different ones at different levels, manually curated featured topics etc. Cheers, AndyRe: How We Built It: Access Signposting
Hey cblown Yes that is correct, next time I have some time I am going to see if I can improve the set up so it can be something in the admin if possible, maybe using the settings list editor to maintain it. For now just wanted to get something out there and keep up with our recent practice of sharing the code where possible. Cheers, Andy
