The is a key moderator functionality to relocate content that users post into a wrong category

Thread Tools > Move Topic

Some kind of paging function would also be good for mobile devices where RAM is frequently at a high premium.

NodeBB causes not-infrequent browser crashes on my iPad2 on longer threads. When I click a link that takes me to the 60th post in a thread or something, there is a long delay as the slower browser begins by loading the op oldest posts in batches. It would be good if there were a way to make it skip doing that and take me directly to the unread posts (without switching the full application to paged mode).

Perhaps on mobile devices you could add a secondary navigation bar with the paging functions (arrows, "displaying X-Y of Z", etc).

I'd also love to see this as an option for larger communities that require it.

@julian True, but what I need to alter is the container and since topic is a child it's not possible with pure css.

All good points, tagging @baris to take a look

we have exporters for both.

and use the interface the select the right exporter.

Note: hold off a little bit on the source forum with 2M+ posts, I am still in the process of resolving some memory issues

@julian, I'll upvote every comment with this same content, no matter how many times I see it.

People are lazy, anything you can make that will simplify their lives is winner. This one feature certainly helped Social networks grow over traditionnal forums. Look kids, you can post stuff but you don't have to type anything, how cool is that? 😜

yup,its not convenient as a chinese

Just for cross-reference: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/2060

I think I agree with the idea and that it would be useful although I don't see ourselves prioritizing this feature for the next major version at least.

I don't mean to revive old topics, but are there any news concerning SASS support? 🙂

This would just involve a change in masonry to something else. Maybe mixitip.

@luke Not sure how you'd apply this as a plugin. If I knew that, I'll throw it together. 😛

TBH I've been an admin/mod in several forums over my life and I always hated the idea of changing usernames in the first place

^^ This, usually. It's worse when they start using a new set of graphics to go with their "new persona". To be fair however, I can also remember picking a really stupid username and being glad I could change it. shudders

Subcategories are presently only supported by the vanilla theme, and even then it's all on the backend of things. The Child categories don't acutally show inside of the parent categories...yet.

This should be a simple tweak though, as @a_5mith mentioned to me the other day.

Hmm, theres a few ways you could solve this issue. One way I solved this was to change code { white-space: nowrap; } to
code { white-space: pre-wrap; } which is the more quicker way.

Other ways, I can think of off the top of my head is adding an overflow-x: auto to .post-content.

@a_5mith maybe use the breadcrum like home-> tags-> A --> B to allow use to change to a new tag navigation session like home->tags->X->B...... when user jump into a different category and click a tag in a topic, that should be a start of another short tag navigation session.....

@a_5mith, awesomesauce. Another great leap forward in terms of flexibility.

@miluo, not yet. Perhaps with the next major release.

@miluo You will need the changes from nodebb-theme-vanilla branch 0.5.1
