      how to see what forum subsections have new posts from a glance ?

      I'd like to know that too.

      PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
      i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
      UniFi AC-Lite access point

      I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

        Is it possible to change to a theme that more closely resembles the previous forum?

          I like the new forum personally, that is, after I changed to a darker theme.

            @chpalmer Same here. First I've not been able to authenticate with my account. Had to reset password then authenticate with my email. Look & feel is perhaps closer to what one can see on social networks but, at least to me, reading content is less easier. Very close to Nethserver forum in term of look and feel BTW but I definitely don't like it.

              @jahonix we didn't convert them because there was no way to migrate it and because they were private. Now you get to tell me again about lack of communication, to what I agree.

              There is a solution and doesn't need much works : forum.pfsense.org still exists and is probably simply redirected to the new forum.netgate.com. I guess the old SMF is still operational.
              Restore the old forum in read only mode (no more posts or edits allowed) and keep it up like that for a week or two.
              This can be prepared upfront - no hurry. Just prepare a blog post, choose the date and go.
              Something like that.
              Example : when OVH ditched the old forum to the new https://community.ovh.com/, they kept the old forum here https://forum.ovh.com. As shown, banner advertises the emplacement of the new forum.

              No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
              Edit : and where are the logs ??

                  @gertjan We have considered that before the move but remember we had to ditch SMF because it's not GDPR compliant.

                    Thanks everybody who did the great job moving forum to the new engine!
                    Just one question, my profile picture is lost somewhere and I can not add new one, is it ok for now?

                          Thanks, I just tried upload from URL and it stuck on cropping image, I just can't do anything, but if I download image from net and upload it as file, then everything works like a charm.

                              Just for test, try the same picture, just choose Upload New Picture From URL, copy and paste this URL:

                                  Yes! Exactly. No cropping and the button 'Crop and Upload' just do nothing.

                                        Not a fan of the new format at all. It seems to about looking "pretty" rather than being functional.

                                          I agree. A couple of functions we're missing are marking a topic read and telling at a glance whether there are any unread in a topic.

                                          I guess this is part of the trend of dumbing things down, until they're almost useless.

                                            Our main focus was the migration. Making things pretty and better is the next phase. Nodebb is very powerful platform so we're no longer limited by our forum software.

                                            You will learn it's quite the opposite once you spend some time exploring it. Try browsing forum while responding to someone. That said, nodebb has a lot of great plugins which will add more functionality. Current state is just out-of-the-box with only a plugin or two. So stay put, things will get a lot better.
