Another month, another monthly update...
While it is nice to see some features being added here and there (even though I am puzzled on the criteria of which features take priority -- as it certainly isn't number of votes, nor quality issues ) -- I am baffled to see that bugs that have been reported 6+ months ago (which MSFT acknowledged to be a bug) are still in the product.
CASE IN POINT: Adding an image URL field for a slicer works if the slicer orientation is vertical. However, if the orientation is set to horizontal, the URL of the image is shown instead of the image.
I know everyone likes to see new features being added, but quite often some features seems to be added half-way, or with bugs. I feel it is time that the Power BI team should focus on squashing bugs and increasing the quality of the product, even if this delays the introduction of new data sources or other novel capabilities.
Some qualitative issues include:
I'm sure many might disagree, but I would love to se a list of "here is all that we fixed in this release of Power BI" every two months rather than a list of new features every month.
Hi @Eric_Zhang
I did notice that MSFT created an Issues forum (thank you so much for that!) but it seems to be broken. When trying to submit a post, it always says that the message tag is invalid no matter what. Can you please have a look?
Thanks for that!

If you refer to this forum, I can succeed submitting an issue in Chrome. Maybe switch to use another browser?
@Eric_Zhang You reference this URL: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/360879-issues
At the top of that link is a reference that things will be moving to this URL
http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Issues/idb-p/Issues
However, at this time, nothing is there except 1 link by Chuck. So, essentially the "Issues" link at the top of the Community appears to point to a new URL that is not yet set up correctly...
Nope... I tried 4 different browsers. The problem keeps happening. It has something to do with the message tag that is not accepted.
