Another problem is that the post quote/reply/upvote/3 dots (menu) buttons are hidden and people don’t even realize they are there.
It’s slick to hide and show them, but my users don’t grok it.
Is there a way to have them show on every post all the time?

[component="post/actions"] { opacity: 1 !important }Worked like a champ. I’m truly dealing with computer illiterate people. I’m exchanging text messages and emails explaining “tap on the post and these buttons appear” with before and after screenshots. They don’t get it.
The constant complaints are that the site is too hard to use and not intuitive. A small fix like this goes a long way.
Thanks again “

There’s still this issue to resolve.
On my desktop browser, not so much a problem. But in my iPad…
The editor obscures the entire content between the left/right toolbars. Click on any of the left/right toolbar buttons and it appears nothing happens because the editor is still there obscuring the new content.
I’ve already made the discard button bright red. But it’s not out of the box…

@mschwartz would minimizing the composer automatically when hitting those buttons be better?
The risk is that they then can't find what they were working on.

Sure would be! And if no title or content, just throw it away….
It would show up like this:

A related “bug” (I call it a bug) is that when I type in the Quick Reply box some text, then click on the expand button (go to full blown editor) and click submit in the editor, my text is still in the Quick Reply box - clicking Quick Reply button ends up making the post twice.

I don't see that happening here at community.nodebb.org

Does it in 3.4.3 for me. Maybe it’s an editor enhancement plugin (reactions maybe?)

@mschwartz said in Feedback from my users:
They do not understand the icon buttons on the left and right toolbars. If I explain to them how they can click on the expand >> button, they will see the choices with the text. I want a global setting to set to expanded initially. As the user base matures, I want to be able to disable the feature.
If you upgrade to > v3.5.0, you will be able to set the sidebars to be expanded by default at ACP > Plugins > Harmony Theme > Open sidebars.
You're welcome

@saikarthikp9 will do

@mschwartz Important feedback.
On one point that interest's me the most because it's a big deal and a universal problem-challenge for any site admin, owners and operators.
Getting users to sign up!
I would view this as a platform agnostic problem
That does not preclude NodeBB from attempting to enhance signing up users, but the impetus that makes a user sign up to any site is not clear cut and involves a whole range of factors beyond simply the platform and the UI/UX.
My concluding comment is this singular point of feedback would benefit the whole and is so deserving it's own topic and here is one I created https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17636/why-do-users-sign-up
