Cool, thx
✅ Forum Migration To Do List
-
@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:
- Find out if the Recent/Unread/Popular lists can ignore the games threads
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:
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/post/1235902Suddenly 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”.

I’ll add this to the list.

Hmm…interesting problem. It would be nice if the NodeBB folks could find a solution to this problem, such as by having an excessively long line of badges display as two superimposed shorter lines if it goes over a certain length limit. Badges are an incentive for members to donate funding to support the forum, and it would be a shame (and ironic) if contributors ended up having to hide the record of those incentives because of a design problem in the software of the very forum that they’re supporting. A further irony is that the members most affected by the problem would mainly be the ones who have the longest record of supporting the site.

@CWO-Marc I think we have a unique use of badges in our community. BGG aside most other services just give you a badge for your subscription period and don’t date stamp it. What I would like is tick marks (maybe 3-5 pixels wide) for “hidden” badges and they expand when you roll over them. So you could have 1-2 primary badges and the rest are small blocks of color.

@djensen was just gonna say change the heart icon, but it’s your site, so I gave you a heart upvote : )
-
@barnee The up-chevron (basically a caret ^) wasn’t obvious enough. I considered a thumbs up icon but that seemed to Facebook-y.
The only thing left is hearts and stars. I feel that since other sites use hearts to “favorite” things, it would be instantly understandable. It also creates a positive feeling and I want to promote positive attitudes in the community.
So … reasons.

See, you don’t like it but your reaction was still positive. It’s not a coincidence. :wink:

@djensen good morning.
I was wondering if i can change the setting for notifications?
Right now it still Shows unread posts i am not even interested in to read.
I set allready up on wich one i will follow, but there are still over 60 unread ones.
(In the left coloum where the categories are)Or do i have to at least click them ones so they disapear and only the ones i follow Pop up as new and unread??
Thank you in advance for your answer.
