💡 Tips and Tricks (Forum/NodeBB)

Great. I have edited the title of the topic and added it to “Tips & Tricks”.

Thanks everyone.

@djensen said in Adding post location to individual posts?:

I know what the issue is. We have too many icons in the nav bar and the logo is too wide. When the window shrinks, it all goes to a new line and messes everything up. :frowning: :grimacing:

But only if you stay in windowed mode. If you stretch it back out and then re-shrink it, the line with the post location drops down (see my last screenshot for how that looks). If you knew how to make the line drop down, without needing to stretch and shrink the screen, you would be golden. Assuming the software let’s you do that…

@SS-GEN said in How does one access the old forum ?:

When I looked back I just scrolled back in pages to find what I was looking for. But I think you can only do 1 page at a time and there will be less pages than old forums
Just look for the topic or de Gaulle topic.

yea i’ve done that before. came across that link while searching was wondering why it didn’t work.

@Panther Thanks

This is the category for variants: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/category/13/other-axis-allies-variants

You can also use the search box for Barbarossa.

We additionally have the “Home-button” 0_1542475153872_home.PNG that brings us to www.axisandallies.org - what is fine, IMHO.

Now those two buttons (Logo and Categories-View) actually lead to the forum home:

The Logo-Button is configurable in the settings. So when experimenting with the setting in …

… I did not find anything better than your pre-setting (=forum home) as default.

Maybe it should be just pointed out that every user can individually set his preferred page there (for example a special category):

@djensen:

If you type Krieghund into the search box, the first hit is Krieghund’s profile page, from there you can see all of his posts.

It may take a while to look through them all  :wink:

In your case Magister, it most likely is a combination of factors.

Your ping time is slow (on a speed test, I typically ping at 31-34 ms) and your bottom-end download speed is also slow.

Combine that with a slow response server (A&A.org), and you are going to get some very poor results.

If you are on Cable, then you need to do some work on your system.  Perhaps too much running in the background, or perhaps you are in need of having a “system tweek”
