URL that cross-reference inside the forums are no longer valid.
For example in this posting
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/post/1234063
I referenced another posting in another thread that in the old forum had the URL
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=43693.msg1824014#msg1824014
but in the new forum is here:
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/post/1234065
or here:
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/32350/axis-allies-and-zombies-q-a/3
Consequently the original URL now gives an error message.
If there is a way (like on the old forums) to highlight posts that are stickied - that would help immensely.
At current if I go to an area it’s not immediately apparent to find what the latest post is.
@Gargantua Good idea. I think I can change the CSS to do that. I’m actually considering making a “Child Theme” to make a bunch of changes.
What are the criteria for a topic to be a “Popular Topic”? There are very new ones listed. I could think of various older but still very popular topics being more popular than those listed. (Not talking about the game threads that already are in the above list.)
@Panther You can change the criteria here: 
It defaults to all time.
Oh, you’re talking about the sidebar. :smile:
@djensen said in Forum Migration To Do List:
Oh, you’re talking about the sidebar. :smile:
Yes, indeed.
@Panther The criteria is time (day|week|month|all time) and number of posts. That’s it. I might remove it.
@djensen Yes, maybe that is a good idea - I don’t see how this adds any additional value to the site - at least not as it works now.
@djensen Another item for the list: Add “Donation”
@djensen said in Forum Migration To Do List:
This is what I found out:
Every user can filter the categories that are relevant for him on those screens. It defaults to:
Now click on that button and you can uncheck “All categories” and check those you are interested in:
Leaving the box changes the button to:
The problem with these settings is, that selecting categories acts as filters for the current list of threads. Next time you look at one of those screens the selection is back to “All Categories”.
So it would be great if there was a way to save those selections.
Also changes here do not affect the Popular Topics - box (sidebar).
@Panther That’s NodeBB functionality. If you want, post some of these ideas at community.nodebb.org and @ mention me. I’m djensen47 over there. That would actually help me out a lot.
@djensen I’ll take a look.
@djensen Another small cosmetic issue for the list:
Arrange Patron Badges so that they appear together (look at my 2012 badge that is a bit “disturbing” between the others).
@Panther I don’t think I have control over that either. That’s a feature request for NodeBB.
The NodeBB folks are actually quite responsive and are open suggestions for improvements.
@djensen
Another one:
My answer to this posting:

Suddenly looks like
Maybe related to number of badges?
Edit:
It IS realted to the number of badges. After removing the 2012 patron badge, everything looks fine again.
So the task is to find a solution for correctly displaying text when many badges are present.

Not a task for us, that’s a bug and needs to be reported to the NodeBB team.
@djensen The issue is back again (same thread):
Would be interesting to see how many Badges are working correctly.
Quite a list for NodeBB ;-)
Just for your info, @djensen , this issue is not primarily an issue of the badges, but of the complete line that includes the badges.
For example: If you answer to someone with a long username (like in this case), you need to reduce your badges to prevent from the display problem.
Maybe it is worth pointing out to the communitiy that showing too many badges leads to the display problem due to this bug.
Not sure if this has already been brought up, but right now all profiles show an “Age” category, which appears to be set to 17 for everyone. Is this intentional?
@Churchillian-Drift In case you had set your birthday in your profile before, it has been taken over during the migration. You can edit your birthday in your profile when choosing “Edit”. This setting is relevant for the “Age”.
