It's good to be back.

I hate it! But I guess Ill get used to it.. :)

My first impression was that it's a bit weird but when I saw that I could browse forum while responding to message at the same time, I was pretty impressed. Add instant notifications to that and a very responsive GUI, I started to love it. I actually look forward to find cool new features our ancient forum was missing. I think first impressions might be negative, at first, because it's a first big change after so much time.

TOO white and I too hate this change as predicted

@kom about reputations, we're working on a few ways to point out those who had a good reputation, a lot of posts and karma. We had to focus first on getting the forum migrated, now comes the fun stuff.

@grandrivers you can select a skin if you go to your profile settings.

You can change the skin to a dark theme or whatever color you want. Click your avatar in the upper right and then click settings, then choose another skin. :)

Is this no more?

This isn't PHP, if you hit that it's from a bad redirect. We have a fix for that pending next time we restart the web server.

Thanks, so this is the now official Pfsense forum?

Ah, I see. Glad I'm asking all the obvious questions that will hopefully help some others.

No such thing as a bad question here, this is new to all of us, it will definitely take some adjustment!

Will there be a RSS Feed at some point ?

For the whole forum or individual categories/boards? If you look at an individual category there is an RSS link by the title.

[strigona]

The new forum is definitely a big change, but I'm liking it so far! Thanks for the update!!

Before I was using
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?action=.xml;type=rss
it was probably for the whole forum then.

Now thanks to you, I spotted the RSS link.
The one for Home pfSense Packages gives me something.
The one for Home pfSense gives me pfSense Topics about pfSense, click a category blow

That would be https://forum.netgate.com/recent.rss now or perhaps https://forum.netgate.com/recentposts.rss -- pick your poison

That's expected, the feed doesn't pull from subcategories so it's showing what it just in that one category. I think the global 'recent' lists above may be what you're after.

The new forum sucks. The editor box is tiny the forum layout is just..... Hope there is some tweeks to come. And I white theme come on my eyes.

Edit, Editor box needs code box and quote box adding

Click this for a giganto editor box:

For the white theme, see above, you can change the skin to a color you are more comfortable with, and we area looking into other themes.
