New Forum Layout

Configuration
41

I was only commenting on templating, and I do understand, I will not make any more comments.

You can change your default homepage to latest if you prefer that over categories (the forum default). Then clicking the HA icon will always take you to /latest. (Not sure if that’s your goal, or if you simply miss the button.) See interface preferences at Home Assistant Community

The Topics link in the sidebar should also direct to /latest, unless I’m mistaken.

Heavy Discourse (the forum software) user here, happy to answer questions where I can.

Was it really necessary to change the Forum?
Was it a decision of Discourse - “let’s HA community use our new engine”?
Are users of this forum engine forced to move to the new version of the engine?

Is anyone else finding that the popup for ‘fix code formating’ doesn’t work in the new forum layout? For me, no matter which option I choose, nothing happens. I have to click the ‘X’ to close the popup and fix whatever the forum doesn’t like.

Noticed that in old Safari iOS 12.x the page became displayed as:

Just use 3 backticks, way faster. No mouse required. this is a backtick → `

you can even specify the language it chooses so that it formats the code & keywords properly

this:
  is:
    yaml: something
    number: 1

time.sleep(7)
for i in range(10):
    print("Hello sparkydave")

iOS 12 isn’t supported anymore:

Oh no, it’s not about how to do it, I’m fully aware of how, my point is that the popup isn’t working. Even pressing “ignore” does nothing.

I can see a browser console error, so this is a JS issue. A forum admin should check if there is an update to the Unformatted Code Detector theme component installed. (It wouldn’t have necessarily been updated as part of the Discourse core upgrade, themes and theme components are independent)

Is there some reason why the forum user preference setting for how long ago the “new” posts tab should show isn’t followed?

I have the setting set to 2 days (I’ve also tried the other settings in the drop down) but it never shows posts in the “new” tab list that were posted more than 24 hours ago even tho there are new posts that were created since my last visit longer ago than that.
