    very clever indeed! does it show on mobile?

    Yes, natively, but I use CSS to hide it.

    @jac said in [NODEBB] Welcome Message:

    The idea is fantastic Mark, is there a point where you think yes my ideas are used by others but having the same features across a few forums, does that bother you or would you say this is why you created Sudonix?

    Absolutely not. I know that my ideas have been accepted and used by @JAC @DownPW @kurulumuNet and I’m happy that others find them useful. There’s no copyright here - anything you want to take and use is, like the platform itself, free.

    Can you give me your CSS code for hide on mobile ?

    @downpw Sure. Very simple - just place this in your mobile CSS block

    .getUsername {
      display: none;
    }

    What is your CSS for this @phenomlab ?
    I have small bug on Unread categorie for example with this code I wrote:

    .getUsername {
        float: right;
        font-family: 'Poppins';
        font-size: 1.6rem;
        line-height: 1.8;
        color: #898989;
        font-weight: 400;
    }

    @downpw I use the below - essentially, using padding to overcome this

    .getUsername {
        padding-top: 20px;
        text-align: right;
    }

    @phenomlab
    To hide only on mobile / tablet you can use max-width,
    For example:

    @media (max-width: 970px) {
         .getUsername {
       display: none;
    }
    }
    
  • @jac @DownPW here’s the function I put together than will need to be added into your Custom JS

    $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function (data) {
        function updateUsername() {
            $('.getUsername .username').text(app.user.username);
        }
        if (document.readyState === 'loading') {
            document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', updateUsername);
        } else {
            updateUsername();
        }
        var thehours = new Date().getHours();
    	var themessage;
    	var morning = ('Good morning');
    	var afternoon = ('Good afternoon');
    	var evening = ('Good evening');
    
    	if (thehours >= 0 && thehours < 12) {
    		themessage = morning; 
    
    	} else if (thehours >= 12 && thehours < 17) {
    		themessage = afternoon;
    
    	} else if (thehours >= 17 && thehours < 24) {
    		themessage = evening;
    	}
    
    	$('.getUsername').prepend(themessage);
    });
    

    Then use a custom HTML widget with the below

    <!-- IF loggedIn -->
    <div class="getUsername">, <a href="/me"><span class="username"></span></a></div>
    <!-- ENDIF loggedIn -->

    Hello,

    I have a question regarding a problem my user is experiencing with this Welcome message.
    This user is not in France.

    It’s 7:40 a.m. for him, so 1:40 a.m. in France, and the banner wishes me a “good afternoon.” I don’t know what time zone it thinks I’m in, but it’s wrong…

    And nodebb displays 11:40 p.m. on the right once posted, so GMT.
    Which isn’t the afternoon either.

    How does this script get the time? It looks like it’s getting the time from the client, meaning the computer or device of the person visiting your site.
    But it seems that in this specific case, the correct time isn’t being retrieved.

    How can I fix this?

    @DownPW the ‘js’ code for the banner takes the time from the client, so what it displays really depends on the regional settings for the operating system.

    I’ve not seen this issue myself but would like to see some examples of screenshots if possible.

    @phenomlab Ah, got it working! I reversed the CSS addition to put z index high, and then I could see another error box saying fork title must be at least 3 characters. So made the new fork title longer and button responded.

    The real issue here is that most people consider forums to be “dead” in the sense that nobody uses them anymore, and social media groups have taken their place. Their once dominant stance in the 90’s and early 00’s will never be experienced again, but having said that, there are a number of forums that did in fact survive the social media onslaught, and still enjoy a large user base. Forums tend to be niche. One that immediately sticks out is Reddit - despite looking like it was designed in the 80s, it still has an enormous user base. Another is Stack Overflow, which needs no introduction. The key to any forum is the content it offers, and the more people whom contribute in terms of posting , the more popular and widely respected it becomes as a reliable source of information. Forums are still intensely popular with gamers, alongside those that offer tips on hacking etc.
