Forum updates

I've installed a bunch of extensions to this forum, including one that makes the home page show categories, instead of just a list of posts 🙂

Let me know if you run into any issues!

Thanks neoncube. This is a great addition!

neoncube

alanh Thanks! 🙂

There are still some things I'd like to change, but I think it's a lot better than before! 🙂

Quite sure that @neoncube has mentioned in the Memrise forum about the archive of it, but now I can't find it. Could someone please provide the link to the archive?

neoncube

johnastsang It can be found at https://mylittlewordland.com/memriseforum/ , but sadly it's a bit out of date 🙁

neoncube https://web.archive.org/web/20231208113631/https://community.memrise.com/

This is the latest archive found on Wayback Machine. Is it more complete with the most recent changes?

johnastsang

neoncube It can be found at https://mylittlewordland.com/memriseforum/

It seems that it no longer works?

neoncube

johnastsang I think that only pages that people specifically told the Wayback Machine to archive were archived there, so it only contains a few pages, but those pages might be more recent 🙂

As this is something I stumble over every day: would it be possible to have something like a divider line (as provided in Discourse forums) that shows the last posting that you had already read?

I always need to figure out where to start reading, particularly when a lot has happened since my last visit.

Or am I overlooking the obvious?

neoncube

Olaf.Rabbachin Ah, indeed, that would be nice! Let me look to see if there's an extension for that, when I have time 🙂

It'd also be nice if notifications were automatically marked as read once the topic the notification is about has been visited.

What is the forum's product name / website? I could have a look, too.

neoncube

Olaf.Rabbachin That'd be great, thanks! 🙂

It's named "Flarum". Most extensions are listed at https://extiverse.com

I tried finding an extension, but in vain.

The closest I got was to a discussion that ended on Jan 16, 2022 where a dev wrote that he'd "try to get on this for the V1.3 release cycle". It even shows the way that Discourse adds the "last visit" delimiter:

https://discuss.flarum.org/d/29792-how-to-see-new-posts/4

Not sure what release you are using.

Apart from that, all searches for an extension lead nowhere.

neoncube

Thanks, Olaf.Rabbachin 🙂

Perhaps I can write an extension for this or follow up on that thread and see if the Flarum owners are still interested in implementing this in core.

Olaf.Rabbachin

I chose this thread as the best match - feel free to put this on a separate thread if you prefer keep things separately!

I wonder whether it would be possible to:

Keep the thread-title displayed (either at the top of the white area or [even better] in the green header)
allow to write to persons directly (DM/PM)
