Welcome to the new forum!

[admin2]

I've migrated the Pythonista and Editorial community forums to NodeBB, which brings a fresh new look and a lot of very nice features that the old forum was lacking. For example:

• Get notified when someone replies to your posts or @-mentions you (see the settings in your profile)

• Mark posts as favorites, flag for moderation, track unread status, etc.

• Better search

• You can introduce yourself on the profile page

• Login via Twitter (optional, for new users)

• A nicer URL ;)

• ...and much more.

If you already have an account in the old forum, here's what you need to know:

• I've imported all users (and posts), but you need to set a new password. Simply enter the email address you used for the old forum here: → Reset Password

• The old forum is still online for now, so that links continue to work. In the next couple of days, I will start redirecting the old topic pages to the imported ones in this forum.

• I'm not sure yet if I'll redirect the RSS feeds as well, you might want to update your feed reader manually in any case (some apps don't support redirection properly).

If you see anything that looks weird, or if you have any problems with accessing your account, please let me know.

Unfortunately, spam has been a bit of an issue lately. I don't know yet how well NodeBB will work in that regard, but I've taken some precautionary measures. Signups require solving a reCAPTCHA, and all posts are checked by Akismet – I don't have experience with the latter, but I've heard good things about it.

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
