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?

[x2rl]

@joe-friday Yea I had to go to a dark theme too tho there is still alot of white in it :(!

[x2rl]

@w0w Click top right "W" (for you)

On there click edit profile

And from there click Change Profile Picture

And next change away :)

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.

[x2rl]

@w0w Odd cropping worked for me pal. Not sure.

[w0w]

@darkvodka34
Just for test, try the same picture, just choose Upload New Picture From URL, copy and paste this URL:
http://www.unixstickers.com/image/cache/data/stickers/geekinside/geek-inside.sh-340x340.png

[x2rl]

@w0w Worked fine on upload.

From URl tho Nope just like you said there is no cropping there at all.

[w0w]

@darkvodka34
Yes! Exactly. No cropping and the button 'Crop and Upload' just do nothing.

[x2rl]

@w0w Looks like something @jimp needs to have a look at than :)

[w0w]

@darkvodka34
Yes, but it's just minor problem, I can live with it forever

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.

Why is proper quoting not working? Not sure if that's a configuration thing which needs to be tuned, but normally I mark text in a thread and that should activate a "quote" button which just quotes the selected text ...

Just tried it and it works. Tried with with the small quote button:

And with the blue one:

@ivor Does not work for me @iPad ... but thanks for trying!

I just checked my email and there are four separate emails from comments that were posted since I commented. An email is not necessarily a bad thing, but why can't it post a digest of all the comments from the day, rather than a separate email for every comment?

Also, when I clicked the link in the email to view the topic, there was a message that the forum is overloaded. I guess with all the new features, your server doesn't have enough mojo. ;)

@jimp @ivor (others) :

Received-SPF: softfail (netgate.com: Sender is not authorized by default to use 'forum@netgate.com' in 'mfrom' identity, however domain is not currently prepared for false failures (mechanism '~all' matched)) receiver=ns311465.ip-188-165-xxx.eu; identity=mailfrom; envelope-from="forum@netgate.com"; helo=forum.netgate.com; client-ip=208.123.73.199

root@ns311465:~# dig  netgate.com TXT +short
.....
"v=spf1 ip4:208.123.73.76 ip4:208.123.73.28 ip6:2610:160:11:11::76 ip6:2610:160:11:32:250:56ff:fe9e:75ff include:_spf.google.com ~all"
...

It's time to add
ipv4:[whatever forum.netgate.com is using as MX - probably 208.123.73.199]
For me, it's an IPv6 ( NOQUEUE: reject_warning: RCPT from unknown[2610:160:11:10:2d2c:c52:91d:2267]: 450....) so add the IPv6 also = 2610:160:11:10:2d2c:c52:91d:2267
When ok, change "~all" => "-all".
And while you're at it, what about both reverses of these IPv4 and IPv6 ?
And DKIM ... ?! (and DMARC)

In your profile (settings) you can ask for a daily digest ...

Also, when I clicked the link in the email to view the topic, there was a message that the forum is overloaded. I guess with all the new features, your server doesn't have enough mojo. ;)

Looks like they use an new server, at least, there are new IP addresses (see my message above : mails come in rather suspect according to my own 'mail server' (the amavis family + DKIM + DMARC works for me).

What also happens is (I guess) that our friend Google and colleges found out that something is going on. So the 'new forum' is being hail-stormed by search engines. The "301" tripwire from forum.pfsense.org to forum.netgate.com can make those guys nervous. Result : the new forum is being bench marked.

Another issue is the new site doesn't seem to know how to sort on age. Even though I have Sort by set to newest to oldest, I see a variety of dates mixed together, such as a day ago, six days ago, a day ago or six days ago, four years ago, eight days ago! How is that sorted? Why am I seeing topics from years ago, mixed in with recent ones? Why can't I mark all those old topics as read??? Someone else mentioned the new site was designed for a 14 year old girl. Perhaps she's the one who designed it.
