Thanks, so this is the now official Pfsense forum?

Yes, this is the official forum for pfSense and all Netgate products

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.

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.

@jimp Still missing Code and quote box. also the dark skin has a few colour problems.

Checck the tab

jimp

For code you can just surround the text with ``` (before and after)

Like this:

code code code

Quotes just start a line with >

But you are right there are not buttons on the composer for them, we can look into that as well, but there aren't any options I see to turn them on in the stock composer.

@jimp would be handy to have them not everyone can remember all bbcode and other ones. Cheers

True, that does feel like a long time but once you get three upvotes on anything it clears that requirement from you. It helps limit accounts that sign up and spam. :)

Ill never get 3 upvotes as I just ask on here im learning. So Ill post nothing helpful :) But okay Thanks for the code box Boss.

Edit can you make it 60 seconds? I had to wait on here 40 seconds to post this reply.

jimp

Well you've got three now so enjoy!

@jimp Ha thanks man. I feel for new members tho :)

Well it may takes weeks to get 3 upvotes without your intervention . Maybe this "feature" could take into account the numbers of posts of the user
