The forums are up again! Migration to new forum platform

cybereality

I think the new forum is great, but I agree there needs to be some work on the styling. The colors aren't bad, but it would be cool if they were closer to the Godot brand. I also think there are some low contrast issues (for example, the preview on a post is hard to read, and on quotes, among other things). And the text size is rather small. It Could probably be bumped up 2 points. But overall the software is very much the best in terms of available FOSS forums, so I think with a little work on the CSS everything will be fine.

The forum "mirror" is up: https://tmptesting.godotforums.randommomentania.com/
(It is not a true mirror and instead is a snapshot of the forums from 20-40 minutes ago - it also will not update as new posts are made)

It is a completely standalone instance. Right now it just uses the default Flarum theme but I am working on a new theme. I do not have anything to share yet though as I only just started. I am building it off the OXO theme, which is what we are using now.

The forum "mirror" is a read-only forum though - it is not intended for posting and is really just to get feedback on the forum theme. In the future, I may make it possible to post for testing plugins, but for now it is read only for everyone but forum staff.

I'll make an update here when I have the first draft of the new forum theme ready for the first view 🙂

I just noticed a misspelled sub-forum name: Job Offerring

Megalomaniak

nice catch, I've fixed it.

I don't understand. How?

😹

Yeah, the notification number has been weird for me for a while. It was -1, not it is 3 (even though all are read).

Megalomaniak

I have yet to witness that -1

I feel like this is better than Discourse that I asked back then 🤗

cybereality

It is better than DIscourse. Never understood why everyone likes that so much.

I miss two things from the previous platform: categories/subforums (whatever you call them) and reactions on past posts seem to have gone missing

cybereality

There are still categories, but they are called tags. Look on the left of the home screen.

Is there any way to make auto-refresh on the main page, so that you can see new posts?

Not as far as I know, but there is that refresh button on the top right of the content area.

DaveTheCoder

Tomcat If you use Firefox, there are add-ons such as Tab Reloader that do that.

Well, it needs to be clicked… manually…

It's the other way around. The young ones are active, hot, fussy. It's not a problem for them to make any extra moves. With age sometimes comes wisdom and an understanding of the value of time.

Firefox… what is it? I have Pale Moon. 😆 It has a sites check for changes, but that, in this case, is not very handy. And simply reloading an individual tab — I couldn't find such an addon.

F5 is about to be wiped out. 😩

Another possible problem is that sites may consider a third-party attempt to refresh a page as a dos-attack. This has been happening.

Tomcat

Need some simple mechanism to complain about spammers.

TwistedTwigleg

Tomcat please flag the posts and then we can deal with it from there.

Thank you for reporting! I handled the linked post 🙂
