New features in 3.1.0
-
While this topic has some broad ideas about new features following 3.x, this topic will be about new features and quality of life improvements coming in 3.1.0.
Without further ado let see what's new:
Topic thumbs navigator
Topic thumbnails is a feature that allows users to upload images as part of a topic.
In persona theme it only replaced the user avatar on topic lists but with harmony it is now displayed separately in the topic list. With 3.1 you can now see the topic thumbnails inside the topic and click on them to see large versions and switch between images.
Try it on this topic https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17113/persona-a-retrospective
Edit chat messages in place
Our chat message edit interface needed some
Previously editing a message used the same input box as sending a message and would lead to confusion, what happens if you already have text in the send input? Now it is possible to edit in place like slack and other chat apps.Tag multiple topics at once
Prior to 3.1.0 the only way to edit the tags of a topic was to enter the topic and then click edit on the main post. Starting in 3.1.0 it is possible to use the topic tools dropdown and modify the tags of a topic. It is also available on topic lists like the recent page so you can tag multiple topics at the same time.
Copy code to clipboard
Not sure why this wasn't requested before seeing how we share alot of code on this forum. With 3.1.0 you will be able to copy the contents of code blocks with a single click.
New design for error pages
Our error pages had the same design since 2016 which used the default bootstrap alert classes.
We have updated them to look nicer, we also included some of our animal friends. See which one you get.
Category selector when forking topics
When forking a topic it wasn't possible to specify the category for the new topic. This would lead to problems if the category is only intended for topics from admins.
Now you don't have to move the topic after forking and just select the target category in one step.
Expiration date for widgets
Widgets can have start and end date and they will be visible only during that time frame.
Bug fixes
We also fixed some issues reported by our users since 3.0.0 release. You can see those here

When I am typing a long message and use arrows to go to the line above to fix a typo, the cursor automatically goes to the last posted message to edit it, rather than staying in the input box.

@crazycells I don't know if this is related, but I've noticed something similar when using quick reply. You'll be typing a message and suddenly the field loses focus and you land up at the bottom of the page.

@phenomlab hmm, I could not reproduce that. Is it only happening in the quick reply box?

@baris It's in a chrome browser.
It's really interesting, because in this forum, I was able to copy the code with few lines,
But in other nodebb forums I was not able to copy except one long line.
Maybe because these forums are in Hebrew language which is a RTL language.
Try copying code from this post for example: https://tchumim.com/post/141874 -

Is it possible to customise these pages @baris ?
