Forum themes?

Forum is slowly shaping up :) but we're not done yet!

You should get rid of a lot of the ancient stickies. Some of them are years old and totally irrelevant today.

That's on our TODO list. In fact we were discussing a few of them already this morning. Feel free to suggest any you think should be unpinned.

Mails from forum.netgate.com are coming in just fine now

@gertjan yup, should be good. Thanks for reporting these issues :)

for the new ACME package sub-forum Yeah I figured it was time. Also considering one for FreeRADIUS and for Routing packages (FRR, Quagga) since they also seem to pile up in the main packages category

These should be all cleaned up now, I removed quite a few. I tried to keep ones that were still accurate or relevant up. I didn't touch the IDS/IPS or pfBlocker categories though, I'll leave that up to the mods of those categories since I'm not sure what stickies are still relevant there.

Anyone else seeing a lot of these:-

A few times, yes. But it got fewer the last days. After the initial switch to nodebb I saw them quite often.
BTW: another thing popped up a few seconds ago: "As a new user you only may post every 120s before you get 3 posts (or upvotes? - can't remember)" 120s aren't that bad, but I reply very quickly to many threads - and I don't consider myself an new user exactly :D
Edit: It's
Als neuer Benutzer kannst du nur einen Beitrag innerhalb von 120 Sekunden erstellen bis dein Ansehen 3 erreicht hat - Bitte warte bevor du erneut einen Beitrag erstellst. (in german)So it's 3 upvotes from posts before being able to post faster. That would be OK - but I suppose most users don't even know/see the upvote thingy (the little ^0) below a post god forbid even click it ;) Perhaps should be more clear what it does and how to use :)
Don't forget to upvote 👍 those who kindly offered their time and brainpower to help you!
If you're interested, I'm available to discuss details of German-speaking paid support (for companies) if needed.

ngy (the little ^0) be
Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I could find for days now how up up vote ... and was a bit scared to ask for not passing as the most stupid one today.
I found it - up voted your post (as @jimp did 30 sec ago) - some else will vote and deliver you soon. -
@jegr Done
, can I get 3 as well? -

@jegr Done
, can I get 3 as well?The whole idea is that you should post 3 "quality posts" (or, like me 2k5 pure ramble)
But ok, during the forum introduction every reason is valid, so there you go - done. -
my post wasn't meant as a collector for upvotes, merely to point out it's hard to find how to give someone - hmm I always consider it a thank you! - for his post and his time. Perhaps an additional text like "upvote/thanks" next to the "^" will do that :) -
@jegr said in Forum themes?:

Yeah, I thought it to be some kind of "jump to top" button at first.
Not obviously the "thanks" action. Make it have an icon. -
I notice that on dark themes like Cyborg, the small Reply icon is all-white and unreadable until you mouse-over it.

If you can't add text, can you at least change the symbol from the up arrow to something more recognizable, like a
? -
