Original:

Forum has been upgraded
Running version: v0.1.0-beta.8

let me know if there are any issues

    Slacor Very cool

    I've been working on my own fork of a Python based forum software for the past while but the UI doesn't compare to Flarum, lol.

    Been kind of a personal project of mine. It's main use case is for private forum functionality with mandatory two factor, custom authentication library to authenticate forum users with other services, etc.

    I really need to learn more JavaScript but I hate it so much 😛

    Given the learning that colors and color profiles seem to be involved in triggering symptoms, please do mot change the UI. Were any color changes made with this upgrade?

      ensete Were any color changes made with this upgrade?

      It was completed several months ago so nothing recent has changed.
      I also don't believe there were any color changes during that one either.

      Apologies for the down-time.
      Attempted to upgrade to 0.1.0-beta.8.
      There were far too many issues with it so I'm going to postpone it.

      a month later

      Upgrade to v0.1.0-beta.8 is planned (again) sometime during Wednesday - 1/16.
      The forum will be down during that time.

        Forum upgraded

          One problem still persists on my Android smartphone, using Chrome: I push reply, then the "x" symbol. The post draft appears at the bottom but is not responding anymore. This happened on the old forum software, too. I think it started just a few days ago.
          Edit: The chat button which overlaps at the bottom might be responsible?

            KM I've removed the chat button, is the issue still there?

              Slacor changed the title to Forum changes .

              There have been some styling changes:

              Tables are permitted in markdown and styled now.

              | X | Exists | Info |
              | :- | :- | :- |
              | PWM | Yes | *Below* 68/255 (OxygenOS); 65/255 (Paranoid Android, CyanogenMOD) |

              The empty banner on the main page is now hidden

              Posts using headers 1, 2, 3 (h1,h2,h3) are now centered.

              Some CSS changes:
              Smaller screens:

              • Images are centered
              • Link sizes are increased by 1px 5%

              Also,

              • Tables have borders
              • Tables are now responsive
              • Links to outside of the forum are colored differently
                https://ledstrain.org/d/151-forum-changes
                https://somesite.com
                This includes standard links, header links, picture links.
                Mobile Touchscreen devices have a border around picture links indicating internal / external link

              Will be completing a forum upgrade to 0.1.0-beta.9 in about 30 min

              Mostly behind the scenes fixes, but tags now have icons.

              Headers changed, you may need to refresh the page to see them.

              • Tutorial has been added to the header. It'll be updated as things change over time
              • Donation link has been added to the header
              • Minor CSS changes for consistent behavior

              Any donations will be straight to server / hosting costs 👍
              The tutorial shows some extra features of the forum. Unfortunately, some things like tables are not intuitive despite being quite useful. Perhaps this will help bridge the gap.

              SSL updated.
              I should get more warnings for this now if it's getting close to expiry and hasn't auto-renewed..
