    We do have a choice between different emoji sets.

    Would these emojis be better?

      @klaus I rarely use emojis, but on a cursory look, they look better.

      I'll leave it to the emoji users to opine.

            Do we have a ‘bastard’ emoji?

                Another new thing in NodeBB seems to be the support for RSS. Notice these buttons?

                de845a00-af4c-44fd-af4c-31aa5161fbd8-image.png

                I have no experience with RSS feeds, but they may provide a useful novel interface to the forum, e.g. on mobile devices.

                But from what I can see, the feature can also be disabled. I'll leave it on for a while; if nobody is using it, I'll probably disable it to declutter the interface.

                  Turns out we also have a new and improved spoiler tag.

                  It doesn't show the content anymore in the topic preview (which @jon-nyc and others hated).

                  In fact, I just experimented with it a little and it turns out that the spoiler content is not even loaded from the server unless the button to un-hide it is pressed.

                  :::

                  123456
                  :::

                  I'll probably try to disable the "old" spoiler function, then.

                        The top part (Title) of the thread being read is chopped off by the forum header.

                          Not for me, Copper.
                          Maybe it's one of those size vs. percentage things.

                          I do need to decrease the size of the browser window in order to post, as for me it's chopped off at the bottom. If I don't shrink the size, I end up typing where I can't see what I type. It's no big deal, I figured out how to get around the problem (by decreasing the size of the browser window).

                            I need to shut down and restart the whole server for an update to a core component. This may take a while and I estimate the risk that this will completely ruin the forum to be around 0.272819%.

                                  I found the problem

                                  If you Ctrl+mouse wheel
                                  you can change the heading configuration and the whole page configuration

                                  It's kind of a zoom function I think.

                                    I use a tablet to get here. For the last several days I can open the forum like always, but if I try to post something it says "error" and won't post. I have to reboot the tablet first. Then when I come back and go to the thread I was trying to post in, click "reply", it pulls up what I wrote and I just simply hit the send icon and it records my post.

                                    Why?

                                      Perhaps it's just me, but if I try to post something - a new topic, and then decide not to, by clicking the "X" in the upper left hand corner, nothing happens, and the only way to not post something is to delete the topic.

                                        @george-k I’ve noticed that too. A workaround that works for me is to hit the back button on the browser.

                                        Education is extremely important.

                                          George - it seems odd but try this.

                                          AFTER you hit the X and nothing happens, hit the little minus sign next to it. You’ll then get the dialog box to close.

                                          It’s weird but I noticed the difference when Klaus fucked everything up did the last upgrade.
