It's good to be back.
-
I was starting to go through withdrawals. I'm not sure I like the new forum but it will probably grow on me in time.

It will take some getting used to like all change but I'm pretty sure I'll have forgotten the issues after a few weeks.
I hear you on the withdrawals!Steve
-
Good to have you back KOM! :)
-
Not sure why it shows me as offline when I'm logged in and actually here.
And what happened to our reputations?
-
Click on your profile photo on top right corner, select online.
-
It doesn't do anything when I click the small grey circle. And besides, shouldn't it change that status automatically since I'm logged in?
-
Gray circle? I meant this icon:
-
Hmm, does seem like it should.....
There will probably be a period of tweaking while we find these things.Steve
-
Thanks Ivor. If it's a manual toggle then I can imagine everyone will always be offline except Netgate staff.
-
@kom likely! :) I think that feature is more a signal for chat availability (which replaces private messages).
-
I'm certainly online, I think I had to to toggle it once to invisible and back to online.
-
will take a little to get used to but i don't mind
-
I like that I can ignore certain sections of the forums by default in the new and recent feeds. For example I have no interested in reading the international support section.
-
If you set your status to 'Online' it will show green when you're logged in and grey when you logout again. Like Slack for example or like SMF did.
NodeBB now gives the option of not showing active if you wish.Steve

The karma and such didn't carry over. NodeBB also lets us disable downvotes so we can all have a fresh, positive start. Also on NodeBB you upvote posts and not people directly, which seems more appropriate.
-
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. :)

So https://forum.netgate.com/index.php
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?

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 -

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.
🔒 Log in to view
Checck the tab -
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

Do you know how long 120 seconds is lol

This is some code

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. :)
