Yes, this is a bug in the v4 code. Will fix soon.

I'll admit the email verification flow is janky, but it's the best we've got if you want to support some form of out-of-band password reset.

Ok, Ive given this password reset a lot of thought. I didn't know the term 'out-of-band' but this is an idea along lines of alternative method which doesnt rely on email

So background, lets say my forum

Contains no sensitive information, so not a terrible issue if a password recovery was hacked. So an easy reset password reset method wouldnt be a risk it has infrequent posters. The amount of password reset requests was huge. People were re-registering

So solution could be Admins could allow users to opt into an easy click on picture reset (if they wanted the option)

Method, you can try this a maximum of say of once per month
Click your favourite:
Film: Comedy, Horror, Drama, Historical, Nature, Crime
Fruit: Apple, Banana, Pear, Orange, Coconut, Grape, Pineapple
Color: Red, Blue, Green, yellow, brown, Black, White

If the correct choices are clicked then you can reset password there and then
Probability of random hack 1/71/71/7 so less than 0.3%

Im sure there must be a name for this type of reset method, its a kind of variant of answering 3 memorable questions, but less to recall.
if the words are accompanied by pictures most people remember the 3 items they chose

I saw Julians plugin code,

Would this be a solution to the issues which I dont fully understand?

Here you go bro: Socialhome post w/inline images.

I'll try to give it a boost from my #Mitra, #Hubzilla, and #Friendica accounts too (if I haven't already) so you can study/compare the various treatment cases 🙂

Sadly, I have not yet launched streams yet for study. I know, I'm a lame-O. I'll get to it shortly, prolly just spin up a local VM on Proxmox for that here, I really am anxious to give it a go 🙂

@Julian yeah that's a good point - I think tag would work but I always got the impression that they were more of a micro-level part of a specific piece of content vs. macro-level (being the place they're being discussed in). context would be set at the forum level (whatever the forum's owner specified) whereas tags might be decided by the user. So in that sense, context would more about origination of a post.

Example might be something like this -

{ id: "https://yuforium.com/forums/cars", type: "Service", name: "Example Forum About Cars", context: "https://another-instance.org/topic/cars" }

Where a POST to that forum's outbox with a Note would result in that note's context defaulting to the one set to the forum. Posting with another context would result in an error. This makes things a little different than a tag which is what would be user specified. In that sense, context is more about where the post was created, vs. what it was created about. In a federated system, where could be an authoritative entity that encompasses multiple instances and is dereferenceable, or where could be defined as a UUID and be completely unauthoritative and ephemeral.

Given that it's more about the origination of the post, I would agree that the term "Community" is better in this case to define what context relates (instead of "Topic") so in the example, context could be switched to https://another-instance.org/community/cars.

It's been a while since I wrote that up, and at the time I was considering using "Community" as the terminology for a context so I might update that soon (especially with "Topic" being a frequently used convention in forums meaning something totally different).

In the Activity Streams docs, the one part about context that got my attention was this - "An example could be all activities relating to a common project or event", meaning that context exists outside of the scope of what a thread would be, and is more indicative of a forum level or federation setting vs. the contents (objects, activities, etc.) of a single thread.

In fact, what we want to do is to embed a grafana dashboard into that section to show data from another app that we have for the user. Grafana was using iframe but this latest update changes that to an API.

Thank you!

I think the composer is an important difference. The NodeBB 'Quick reply' is much simpler to post a reply. The Discourse composer can appear unnecessarily busy, especially for a new or beginner user trying to digest all the text and graphics on the page.

trwnh: Topics can be split In addition to splitting topics, topics or their posts can also be merged into another topic. The UX for this is quite variable; sometimes entire topics can be merged into another, sometimes a certain range of posts within a topic (post 5 .. 10 from 15 posts), and sometimes a selection (post 5 and 10 from 15 posts or just a singular item post 5 from 15 posts). trwnh: Topics exist in a category For #Flarum topics can also not exist in a Category (we call them tags and that extension is optional, like all of our extensions). Even when using a Category, once the Category is deleted, we do not hard delete any topics contained within but unlink them, making them less visible but still existing within the Forum. Regardless, to us, Topics CAN exist in a category, it's not required. trwnh: Users can be followed for posts and topics Users can be messaged directly This sounds as if this is a given, I don't think it's guaranteed in every Forum software. But if can implies optional, then

I am using AWS SES and when I do a test email it works without issues, however when a new user registers they don't get the email validation and when I try resending it doesn't work either.

Here we go

@Julien-Heng Let us know any errors on the front-end or backend.

Make sure a composer (like composer-default) plugin is active in the backend.

Hi,

I am looking for a feature to handle moderation notes separately from user posts. Currently, admins/mods edit posts in their own way to include moderation messages, but I prefer a dedicated feature for this.

Details:

Separate Moderation Section:

A distinct section for moderation notes, appended but clearly separate from the user's content. Example: A box or highlighted area at the top or bottom of the post or in the signature

Distinct Styling:

Formatting options to make moderation notes stand out (different font, color, borders).

Admin Tools:

Easy access for moderators to add, edit, or remove notes via a simple interface.

Possible benefits:

Maintains original post integrity. Provides clear communication on moderation actions. Enhances user experience and transparency.

Thank you for considering this request.

Best regards
dave

I am sorry @julian, it had nothing to do with user email.

As I mentioned, I recently migrated from a phpBB forum to NodeBB while keeping the same website. My website uses WordPress to manage all user accounts, while phpBB forum had all the forum accounts linked to these users. I was supposed to map the WordPress user Ids (wp_id) with the phpBB user ids (phpbb_id) first before importing them into NodeBB which I initially did not do this correctly. However, it is all working nicely now. Thank you so much for your help!

Full list of closed issues.

Let us know if you run into any issues in our support thread.

@baris upgraded and it works now

@JDouglas You should target the below CSS class for this

li[component="categories/category"] .title

You could just use .title although this is a shared class, and without explicit definition as above, it will have undesirable effects.
