  • @crazycells Yes - sorry. It’s because I’ve been changing the theme names so the old ones aren’t officially supported (as such - they have been renamed). If you are using light mode on your OS, then you’ll get the light theme (which you clearly have). Reloading forces the JS to reevaluate and select the right theme.

    Should have made an announcement about this. Sorry.

    @phenomlab no problem at all 🙂 next time before reporting, I will refresh the page…

    @phenomlab There is one thing I have to mention, yesterday I was checking sudonix as PWA (but my comment can be thought as related to general mobile design) and I realized that there is no easy way to go to /categories page… It is indirect through the category panel…

    If someone is accessing your website first time, I believe that is the page they would want to see to understand the general theme/aim of the forum… This is usually done either clicking the title or clicking the home icon…

    But for this website, they both direct you to the /recent page… I knew how to reach there since I use NodeBB daily but if I was outside user, I would struggle little bit 😄

    Of course, if everything is intentional, then there is no problem… I just wanted to bring this to your attention…

    @crazycells Good points. Thanks. I will review this.

    @crazycells hmm. Just looking at this and I do see what you mean but if you tap the category icon it should auto expand with the first option in the list being “All Categories” which will take you to /categories.

    In addition, it’s possible to change the default home page in your profile settings.

    @phenomlab yes I know, but that is “two clicks”… nowadays “two” is too much to get the main page 😄

    it is ok for me, I know how to navigate, but I was talking from a new user’s perspective (even unregistered one)… no need for any change if it is OK for you 🙂

    @crazycells yep. I get it! Good point.

    Hi @phenomlab , upvote icon is better as a triangle, however I would love to see my upvoted posts more clearly, because currently, when I upvote, nothing on the post tool is changing, it would be nicer if there is an indication that I have upvoted (like a filled or colored triangle?) .

    @crazycells hmm. Nice idea, but not that easy to implement unless there’s a hook that fires (not sure there is). Could be done with JS but that could be too the detriment of page loads and ajax calls.

    @phenomlab I think in this case a custom CSS code suffice…

    we were using something like this:

    .topic [component="post/upvote"].upvoted {
        color: #085EAC;
    }
    
    .topic [component="post/upvote"].upvoted {
      border: 0px !important;
    }
    
    .topic [component="post/downvote"].downvoted {
            color: #EF4042;
    }
    
    .topic [component="post/downvote"].downvoted {
      border: 0px !important;
    }

    }
    
    .topic [component="post/downvote"].downvoted {
      border: 0px !important;
    }
    
    

    @crazycells Good points, thanks. I completely forgot that classes are added - makes life much simpler!

    EDIT - seems this is pretty straightforward, and only needs the below CSS

    .upvoted i {
        color: var(--bs-user-level) !important;
    }
    

    This then yields

    However, the caveat here is that the .upvoted class will only show for your upvotes, and nobody else’s. However, this does satisfy the original request

    @Panda said in NodeBB v4.0.0: the workings of World aren’t intuitive Its not easy to get World populating when a forum is new to it This is a good point and one I’ve considered also. It’s a little confusing to be honest.

    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.

    @pobojmoks that’s easily done by modifying the code provided here so that it targets background rather than border In essence, the below should work $(document).ready(function() { $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) { $('.recent-card-container').each(function(i) { var dataId = $(this).attr("data-cid"); var color = $('[role="presentation"]', this).css("background-color"); console.log("data-cid " + dataId + " is " + color); $('[data-cid="' + dataId + '"] .recent-card').attr("style", "background-color: " + color); }); }); });

    And now, after all this time I finally discovered that the CSS I previously referenced was for something else - and used the same CSS name, so I’ve had to reinstate this block .tab-content { max-height: 0; padding: 0 2em; color: #898989; background: #eeeeee; transition: all 0.35s; margin-top: -5px; } And, add this below to make it more specific. .emoji-tabs .tab-content { height: 100%; max-height: 100%; padding: 0; margin: 0; }
