Community - a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals.
As a member of CG Cookie, you are part of this fellowship of artists working towards shared goals: learning, networking and achieving success in what you do.
The CG Cookie community was originally made possibly by adopting Discourse as the forum software. Discourse enabled us to offer a great community experience out of the gate, with little development time. It just worked. The downside, CGC’s community technically resided on a separate server, domain and even required some login bridges. This created challenges while striving to create an unified UX between CGC EDU and the Community.
While we are bummed to leave discourse, the entire CGC crew is pumped for the future of the community here. While only version 1.0 of many exciting versions to come, I am excited about where we can grow, and where we as a community can push it.
A few gained benefits from being fully home grown and integrated
Where are all of the previous community topics?
For the foreseeable future we’ve frozen the previous iteration of the community. Meaning all the content and topics on the http://community.cgcookie.com will remain as read-only. The CGC crew is looking into processes to migrate topics and replies over, though may not be available for some time. It is also a bit exciting to start fresh, with a new platform. :)
Should I recreate my sketch or poly books?
It is not definite CGC will be successful at resurrecting previous Poly or Sketch books from the previous community forum. If you’re anxious to get the work there, go ahead and create a new book, or create a project using the newly improved gallery system here on CGC.
Every couple weeks I will be holding a welcome new members Live Event. Here is the recording of the last one I did. https://cgcookie.com/live_streams/new-members-welcome-to-cg-cookie
Website is looking great, it seemed like a very smooth roll-out.
This might already be part of the known issues, but when I clicked on the link to 'create a project' in your above post, I seem to have constructed a separate acct., maybe (?), or at least I changed my avatar there and have no XP but if I come back to the CG home page things are normal again. IDK, It doesn't matter much because I saw you ported over my old work anyway now, but if you are trouble shooting things I thought you might want to know.
So first, good job on the website. I love the design!! And I'm very excited about the livestreams!
But there are a few things that I'm missing or can't seem to find
1. I can't find any exercise submissions (from others)
2. I really miss the "Good morning, have a wonderful Thursday!" ect
3. When I press "Home" then the "Where you left off" doesn't show me where I really left off. And so it's quite difficult to find and get back to the Video where I stopped
4. I think in version FIVE the focus was more on XPs so I constantly had the feeling of playing a game. And I loved checking my progress.Now It's more difficult to look at your own XPs, or at least I have the feeling they're less prominent than before.
5. I couldn't find the stop button for the auto- play
Thanks so much rostzwiebel Glad to have yah!
1. Exercises submitted on FIVE were given the status of archived and currently removed from display. Though they can still be found by the submitting artist. Meaning if you go to your profile and view exercises submitted. Apologies, we ran into a migration challenge. If an exercise was mid-review, I'd recommend re-uploading it, get some fresh eyes and exposure! :)
2. Good morning! Originally this was in there, heh though thought it was getting a bit "novelty". One idea was to make it smarter with custom greetings, "Good morning <name>, reminder you have a Live Event you've RSVP'd for starting today". :)
3. Where you left of: 🤔 It should show where you left off, though if it continually does not, drop us an email at support [at] cgcookie.com so we can take a harder look. I also took a note to keep an eye on it over the next few days.
4. Herm.. I feel we put more emphasis on XP within SIX, but when you stare at something so long, sometimes it is nice to get an outside look. In the upper left corner you should see your level and XP on every page. Any ideas on how to better improve this?
5. Stop button for auto-play can be found in your App settings: https://cgcookie.com/dashboard/settings/app_preferences

Hope that helps!
Thanks so much! We've got some work to do, but overall the engine is purring along. :)
I wasn't able to reproduce the account swap behavior, though if you hit it again please if you could screencast it, or email steps to reproduce it to support [at] cgcookie.com so we can get it shored up!
The "create project" link direct to cgc.ninja which I think it's an another version of the site?
Also, my "where you left off" have the same problem as rostzwiebel
Felicitaties at the cookie crew for version 6.0, looks good.
Had some login problemos but the help desk has fixed it :-)
Hello,
There used to be a green check mark for the lessons I had already watched, but now they're gone. Glitch in the matrix?
Hey there - think of it as a temporary unplugging of a portion of the Matrix. ;) The green check-boxes there were causing a long database query that was burning out the server. We've removed the progress marks for the time being until we can re-group, and find an elegant programmatic way to re-introduce a form of progress tracking. Apologies for the troubles, and we're working on the 🍪
Waiting for that one, without the green check mark, I have very hard time to find which lectures I haven't watched.
I can easily see an Eye of the Tiger montage as the whole team is getting ready to hunt and fix issues at The Cookie... the pouring cups of coffee scenes, sliding on special gloves for faster keyboard typing, putting on ear pieces for communications and the cool code names references "The cookie is in the jar" "The crumbs are on the floor" "The server is in the oven" ;)
@wesburke Just wanted to let you know that the 'where you left off' also isn't working properly for me.
I don't know if someone else feels the same, it may not be a glitch, more an annoyance, but the menu at the right side where all the lessons of a course live, it doesn't move independently of the whole global website.
So when you're scrolling down the lessons, only the right side menu is scrolling down, the whole site where the video is isn't moving, but then the lessons suddenly stop, and you're left to think there are no more lessons because no matter how much you scroll, it wont go down any further... but in reality there are more lessons, it's just that you now have to scroll down in the website to see there are other lessons, you have to reach the bottom of the website to see the end of the right menu where the lessons live.
Was that clear? Am I being too first world problems meme?
Hi Wes, thanks for the hard work on getting the new site up.
I have a problem with subscribing the Citizen Pro after submitting my information.
Thank you for letting us know! Please either use the chat at the bottom right of the page or email [email protected] and we'll be sure to get it worked out.
