23.In ideas migrated from ideas.automic.com, links to discussions on community.automic.com were not updated to point to the migrated discussions on communities.automic.com. This is very similar to problem #16.communities.ca.com Answered

Such links should now redirect to the migrated discussion.

24.@-Mention menu does not provide very good suggestions.communities.ca.com Answered

The @mention will search for all that fit the inputted pattern and as user input more of the username/names, the system will further narrow down.  An underscore "_" can be used for spaces to further narrow down (firstname_lastname..) the pattern.  See comment.
