New Test Forum
-
I have reduced the limits for now.
-
Had a poke around and all seems OK, however, I still haven't posted because I am still waiting for the instruction email to arrive in my inbox.
Over 10 mins now and waiting.
Is there a problem with this part of the system? -
Might be worth checking your spam. I can see the outgoing email was delivered according to mailgun.
-
I used the reset password link on the login page with no problems
Can't see a reset password link on the login page. Do you mean "Forgot Password" ?
Sorry, I wasn't being literal, yes "Forgot Password"
-
Personally I think its great; just a couple of things I'd suggest:
-
The 'home page' listing the forums is a bit crammed and would benefit from being given a bit more padding between items. The rest of the site is roomy; its just the home page
-
The home page and the categories page appear to be the same - or is there a difference. Its a bit confusing and I'd probably drop the first link in the menu to hid the categories if you intend to keep the categories on the home page.
-
GDPR is looming so I'd make sure you have some definition of your privacy and GDPR policies - don't want to be stung with GDPR fines!
Looking good though!

Nice!
Change is a bit shocking from the old view, but +1 for being able to upvote posts

Thanks Tony,
Checked spam - not there
It just hasn't arrived Oh Dear -
You can click on all the category headers except for "Using the Duet Wifi and Duet Ethernet". Is that on purpose or a bug?
-
Also can settings be added to change text size? Normal post text isn't bad but quotes are awfully small.
-
Hi Tony,
I signed as a new username, posts several replies, uploaded a profile picture.
So far, seems to be working good. -
I'm getting used to it. It looks nice, and I'm sure I'll get the navigation figured out soon.
Nice choice, especially as you can carry over the older messages!

Nope that's a bug!

I will see if I can override the default text size

Thanks for the feedback. I will ask Matt to see if the number of existing posts can be migrated in that sense (it does show you as having all the previous posts so not sure why it does not count them).
I looked at this. You don't get "reputation" based on how long you've been a member, or how many posts you have by default. We could either disable the reputation system all together, or we could probably just give all existing members reputation based on their number of posts or some flat number.
in general reputation is designed to prevent spam and other bad behavior. You get reputation for having your posts upvoted. By default you only have to get to 3 reputation to have the posts per 120 seconds restriction lifter. If we don't like this idea, or don't think it adds value, it can be shut off completely.

The home page and the category page where / are the same thing. Eventually we can develop a custom home page for for now I changed it to be the "Recent" tab as that is a bit more interesting to land on. I also enabled a setting that allows users to select their own home page. You can configure this in your settings.
I agree that it is cramped, trying to come up with some solutions for that.

I have done a bit of hack for the cramped category page. please let me know what you think…

It would be helpful if a few more people would play with the new forum over this weekend. maybe we can arrange to hang out there for a hour at a specific time make some posts and refresh a few pages. I would like to cnfirm the ucrrent setup is happy under "normal" load.
Does 1800-1900 BST (1700-1800 UTC, 0900-1000 PST, 1200-1300 EST) tomorrow evening work for some people?
For those people who have just registered here, the new forum is at:
If you did not have an account here before 20 march then you will need to create a new account there.
This is still in test and a full migration of everything over to that forum will be happening sometime fairly soon, once we are happy with this new forum.
