'Course I think it calls for as an approach, the harmonisation of the topic post navigator for mobile devices with the bottom progress bar and pop-up post cycle preview cycle into the fruit machine way, right now it's like a mini version of the topic itself but with desktop timeline scroll, ultimately so many different things kinda doing the same thing differently if ya dig?

@unexpectedteapot Thank you. Indeed I missed that distinction, sorry for the noise @hongminhee.

@omega @Kichae @baris @julian I think the only problem here is you assume people should be able to "grok" it.I don't think that's a problem. I think people should be able to understand that the Internet is a communications platform. Growing up on IRC isn't a requirement to intuiting this; the point there was that I people understood it there and then. People should be able to understand it here and now, too. They've just been trained otherwise.

Composer plugin doesn't have colors, maybe you had a plugin that added them?

@bh4-tech with regards to the firebase plugin, it does still require use of a third-party software (that is, Firebase), which makes it difficult for some to use. The plugin was originally developed for two reasons: The desktop notifications plugin was unreliable on mobile devices. Initial work for the plugin was funded. However, after it was discovered that there was no compatibility with iOS, the funding dried up as we could not fulfil the client requirements. That's where this plugin stands now, there is no financial backing to continue work on it. However, looking into the MDN documentation, there is a new API that is finally getting broad adoption (as of 2023, anyway, so even better now): the Push API It could be that this will finally allow NodeBB to natively support push notifications that work reliably even when the browser is closed.

@julian @thisismissem @trwnh makes sense as well for “followers only”… if you post a post with abuse and include someone.. It *could* reach the somebody and all of their followers as well boosted via their server (with controls. Opens the abuse vector slightly.

@eeeee don't engage, some people will always be unhappy unless they get everything for free.

@eeeee using the latest version of both activitypub branch and link-preview, the images seem to be showing up ok. I did find a bug where editing a post caused the pictures to disappear, oops! That's fixed in the latest link-preview plugin version, 2.0.11.

You could use the below custom javascript, it will open the last chat if there is no open chat. $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', async () => { const { data } = ajaxify; if (data.template.chats && !data.template.roomId && data.rooms.length) { const Chats = await app.require('forum/chats'); Chats.switchChat(data.rooms[0].roomId); } });

It will actually be 3.9.0 so we can release the translation strings.

@[email protected] thank you!

Thank you so much @baris .

It seems Anandtech is closing up shop after 27 years of coverage — simply astounding. One interesting thing they included in their farewell: The AnandTech Forums will also continue to be operated by Future’s community team and our dedicated troop of moderators. With forum threads going back to 1999 (and some active members just as long), the forums have a history almost as long and as storied as AnandTech itself (wounded monitor children, anyone?). So even when AnandTech is no longer publishing articles, we’ll still have a place for everyone to talk about the latest in technology – and have those discussions last longer than 48 hours. Emphasis mine. That single phrase is one of the reasons why we started NodeBB and continue with it today. The social media landscape is rife with hot takes and expressions of opinion that last a mere days before it is pushed aside to make way for new content. It's by design and a part of the reason why the web seems so much shallower now than it did even a decade ago. Admittedly, it's what a lot of people want, and the last thing I want to do is to say that you're "using the web wrong", but there are a significant number of people who want to use the web to have real, genuine, long-term discussions with other human beings, and the best way to do that is with a forum. With ActivityPub integration, we're hoping to extend that olive branch into a fediverse mostly inhabited by a microblogging software. Goodbye Anandtech, you will be missed!

Well, Iet me try some changes... will update here if successful

I think sso-facebook plugin has an option to auto confirm emails.

@eeeee yes that makes sense

I had this issue a couple of years ago, when I was maintaining a site and away without a computer and only had mobile access. The issue is still there today so I'm asking that its considered / addressed? On mobile there is no way to drag the HMTL box over on the widget panel. It has to be done on a desktop, as cant even do on mobile browser in Desktop mode. You cant always pre-empt changes, and for example I am travelling for a week and cant add any topic.tpl widget without getting access to a computer. If the widget ACP interface could be reworked so it can be set-up without Desktop drag-and-drop it would be better.

@eeeee The embedded link via <script> does not work all of the time as it is only set to trigger onLoad whereas the <iframe> solution will work every time because it needs to call the remote source. NodeBB loads all assets onLoad as an SPA (Single Page Application) and will not make any further calls to remote sites unless requested by an ajax request. This is why the <script> embed will always work when you press F5 as the entire site is being loaded, but not when the links are clicked as there is no ajax request.

Yeah, I'm quite dumb... I was seeking for those privileges on the Global forum privileges, not on categories... Thanks a lot !

@eeeee this isn't possible without altering the markdown settings - more specifically, HTML Sanitization. Automatic HTML sanitization is an important part of ensuring that your users do not run arbitrary javascript or alter parts of the page that were not meant to be altered. This used to be the sole line of defense from rogue HTML in user-generated content. However, NodeBB now comes with its own built-in HTML sanitizer so it is safe to disable this one if necessary Enabling this option will expose your forum to risk in the sense that arbitrary code can then be executed which isn't something I'd recommend. Widgets allow this functionality because they do not accept input from users whereas posts obviously do.
