Welcome to the new forum!

Loving the new forum so far. I don't know how hard this would be to do, but it'd be nice if links to old forum posts changed. For example in the topic Videos @ccc said:
This exploration allows you to record video from the camera... http://omz-forums.appspot.com/pythonista/post/6438894778187776
It'd be nice and provide a smoother user experience if that was automatically changed to :
This exploration allows you to record video from the camera... https://forum.omz-software.com/topic/2026/capturemedia
Because as of right now, if I click that, it takes me to the old forum. This could be a matter of having a program that changes the physical links, or it could be a matter of when the old site goes down, having each page redirect to the relevant page on the new forum.

That's what I plan to do. It has the benefit that links from elsewhere also continue to work.
-
Ok, great.
-
@omz Not sure if you can do this through NodeBB, but if you could Close a topic instead of deleting it all together, that would be helpful in most cases with code issues/questions.

Is there a way to link to the first new post in a topic based on the last time you visited the forums? This drove me nuts about the old forum too.
You can click on the topic title to start at the first post, or on the link to the right to jump to the last post but doing that means you'll have to scroll up to see if there were posts made between your last visit and the last post in the thread. Frustrating.
-
When clicking on a topic I've visited before, I usually get a popup like this one:
-
OK, definitely never noticed that. It's a little awkward that it requires you to make a second action to jump to that spot rather than automatically taking you there like most other forum software I've ever used, but I suppose it'll work.

i find that, on ipad, when i reply, the rest of the conversation goes away... until i am done editing. is there a setting that lets you still scroll back? for example copying bits if code, or opening links in a new window, etc, or frankly remebering what i wanted to say in the first place?
-
I think your best option might be to open a separate tab for replying.
-
The old forum now redirects to the new one for both the index pages and individual discussions.

Does anyone else have trouble reading/copying code blocks in the forum, when on iOS? it seems that in the new forum, code blocks are limited to a certain height. I cannot seem to reliably get those blocks to either select all, or scroll. Scrolling scrolls the page, and selecting never wants to grab the whole section, even when dragging to the top, etc.
I suspect there may be a "trick" to this (similar to selecting text on iOS in general... i have found that some webpages trying to select selects a whole paragraph...l unless you zoom/pan such that the right side of the text is off screen, at which point long tap selects single words).
Also.... on some threads I have noticed a little red plus sign in the bottom right corner, which lets you reply while still keeping the conversation in view.... but others default to fullscreen replies.... odd!
-
@JonB I've disabled the vertical scrolling in code blocks for now.
This isn't ideal, but I'll need a little more time to dig deeper into NodeBB's plugin system before I can figure out a better solution.
-
Bug (sort of): I can go to https://omz-forums.appspot.com/pythonista/new and see the old forum, it should be redirected to the equivalent URL on the new forum.
-
Note: Back button doesn't work the way I think it should.
Not sure I can codify what I mean :-) and it's probably not fixable.
-
Did the forum editor settings change recently? I can no longer see the editor cursor on IPad, and things seeem very "jumpy".
-
The forum is turning 1 right about now... not sure about the exact date
