Slacor Slacor, This forum has a very good UI, And i really appreciate the work you put into building this important community, but i believe the regular , page based forum will be more helpful to our goal - solving the display discomfort issue by sharing data.

And it's about infinite scrolling.

  1. The forum isn't Google - able, because of infinite scrolling. So it's relatively hard to find the solutions that are already in there.

  2. CTRL-F doesn't work well - because not all the page is there.

  3. Links don't work well with the scrolling. Ideally, it would be easy to get a link to a specific comment, for example a comment where somebody has found a great phone/rom/display - and than maybe share it with migraine forums, maybe put it in the wiki, etc. But even just a link to a page + user so you could control-f it would work.

Does it make sense ?

    I've split your post from the other thread since it had little to do with the forum upgrade.

    You can link to a specific comment. If you examine the above url you may see something like https://ledstrain.org/d/151-forum-upgrade/5. The 5 after the last / indicates which post you're at.
    You may also directly link to a post by clicking on the post date (eg. 15 minutes ago). It will provide a url that links to that specific post.

    However, limited search and index-ability are issues. This forum is run on flarum, which is very much still in development. There is discussion involving issues with infinite scrolling and ideas on solving them.
    Feel free to post something here
