    This topic totally went under the radar (next time file issues on GH 😄 )

    Updated the markdown plugin as per @yariplus' suggestion and they look good now (see @pier's OP).

    Necroing this because this is the first thread on Google when searching for NodeBB table markdown syntax.

    Does it look like there could be a plugin to support this in future? Having 10s of emails on every topic everyday can get overwhelming.

    @xidui it's not straight forward... you will have to use helpers.

    I don't know. Changing it in the code worked for me.

    @Bri Thanks for the reply. I believe that if you do that with the current flat reply system the conversation would become very confusing. You would need the system to be chronological to preserve the discusssion and then maybe switch to highest vote order after a while. Not sure this would work very nicely. This may be resolvable with nested replies but I was trying to find a simpler solution.

    My thought was, if you think about a new user who is trying to find the answer to a question, they will arrive at the forum based on a google search and end up on a particular topic. From there they will try to find the best answer to the question that the chain of replies has to offer. I would like them to be able to do this easily without reordering the posts or trying to decide where the conversation ended, which a new user is unlikely to want to do. I was thinking we could highlight the post in its location in the chronological stream and also place it at the top in a green box, just underneath the original topic post.

    I think this is probably not that hard to do. I am in the process of exploring the plugin system to see if this is possible.

    So, making a forum with some of the same subcategories is a huge pain in the ass when I can only copy some of the settings and not the whole category. Would love to see support for this added

    @julian If you want to preserve the flat forum style does it follow that q&a is not recommended on the nodebb platform or do you have a better work flow to suggest.

    I am happy to do things a different way, but I guess users looking for answers who don't want to post questions will most likely look for a highest voted answer or something like this.

    Also, I was barely awake when I posted this and didn't mean to sound confrontational.

    Not at all, no need to apologize, sometimes I can get bitter before my coffee ☕

    Happy to discuss the merits of the existing navigator, or any suggested improvements, here.

    Hi!

    It would be great if there was a global setting to automatically thumbnail images in posts without user interaction.

    I would really appreciate if it could be an admin setting where you could set a thumbnail-size for all uploaded images, if you click on them they will show the original image in full size.

    I know there is a plugin (nodebb-plugin-image-sizer) that does resize images, but requires user knowledge.

    Thanks!

    Already supported as far as I know. Although bare bones, if you quote individual posts, it will add them all into composer.

    @tkiblin said:

    Is multi-quote on the road-map at all?

    @phit said:

    @tkiblin when you have the composer open you can click the quote button on posts and it will add all of then to your composer window, not exactly the same but better than nothing

    Hmm, interesting, better than nothing I guess.

    if the issues are not with your installation then I think the dev team prefers the github issue tracker so that they don't get lost in here.
