    @SGaist There are couple of known issues that were left unresolved yesterday. One is gzipping the assets and that should make the forum respond faster. But we will fix those next.

    @ollipuu the "old editors" issue happened today again on mobile. I had to dismiss about 10 such popups before being able to access the forum.

      @SGaist So what is the issue exactly? Can you somehow reproduce the situation?

        @J-Hilk Well... we went from 1.12 to 2.8.0 so you can check pages 1-18 here: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/releases 😄

          @ollipuu Sadly, I cannot reproduce at will.

          What has happened is that I opened a web page and loaded the forum. Then I would get several editor opening one after the other. On the left side, where you usually have the "Replying to" orange icon that you can use to show/hide the editor, I would have several of them on top of each other but all pertaining to old threads.

          I am currently wondering whether these where not from a cache somewhere that has staled and they were editors from pages that were closed while editing the answer.

            @ollipuu I've two questions. Not a big deal but small downgrades IMO:

            1. When you go to someone's profile page it now shows their "best" posts. It used to show their recent posts list. Now you need an extra click either on the counter or in a menu to get to that list. Is that intentional or some default just changed in new version? Can this be configured or rolled back to previous behavior?

            2. When typing a response to someone i.e. @ it used to suggest a list of people in the current thread first i.e. here if I typed @o your nick would be listed first. Now it just lists everyone starting with o, so you need to type more. It lists thread participants if you just type @, but if the person you're looking for is last you have to hit down arrow multiple times, where previously it was enough to type the first letter or two. Can this be reverted to previous behavior?

                @ollipuu Another one - can you try to declutter the UI a bit? Maybe some toned down style - less whitespace, fade the colors of unimportant stuff, make the events and indicators less pronounced (smaller?) etc.

                Here's an example. 3 lines of actual content and a lot of colorful noise, whitespace, indicators, lines etc.

                  Thanks for all the feedback. Nothing has been changed intentionally, every possible change comes from the NodeBB upgrade itself. But we'll look if those changes could be easily (setting/template overwrite/hook) reverted back to original behaviour. If we need to edit the forum core, we'll most likely won't do it as each core change will make the future upgrades more difficult.

                    When we go to our personal posts history (by clicking on out avatar) we are now presented with a whole section of Best posts made by JonB and only scrolling down do we later find Latest posts made by JonB. I cannot believe the Best Posts is really a useful addition, seems like somebody put it in just for the sake of it! I want to always see latest posts in date order, just like it always did, don't most people...?

                      We added:

                      • Gzip for the assets -> Hopefully our forum respond faster
                      • Profile: Latest and Best posts now switch the side. Now we're able to see the latest one first

                        @vicnguyen Looks like the gzip trick did help make things faster.

                          Umm, the order now seems to have reversed, I get Latest posts before Best now....

                          But, but, but... The old way (latset posts only) was an expanding, scrolling list. Now it is limited to the last few posts :( Often i have go scrolling through all my latest posts to find one. Now I can't, i could not even find this post to reply to! Please don't tell me I hahe to use Search now instead??

                          Is there any way to just have the old endlessly scrolling list of posts in date order? :)

                            You can click on the posts counter below your picture or click the 3 dot menu and Posts in there.

                              Ah ha! Perfect, thank you. So it's no longer quite the "default" view but at least I can get there :)

                                I have subscribed to the daily email digest. Since the update that does not work anymore. I have toggled this setting already, but that didn't help. (And no, it is not in my spam folder instead.)

                                Any chance to fix that? Does anybody else have this problem?

                                  I have a request. Maybe I'm the only one this will affect, but the new behaviour I find really a shame is the popup we get when:

                                  ×ERROR

                                  You can only upvote a user 6 times a day

                                  By 8:00am I had already used up my daily 6 on @jsulm's answers to various threads, and there's a whole day still to go! I go through loads of posts and upvote whatever useful replies on a regular basis. Being limited now means I cannot tell which previous replies in threads I have read and marked useful.

                                  Is there any way this restriction could be lifted? I don't think we have ever had "spamming" of uncalled-for upvotes.

                                    @SimonSchroeder Hi, thanks for the report! There was yet another setting that had to be manually enabled after the upgrade. Should work now.

I go through loads of posts and upvote whatever useful replies on a regular basis. Being limited now means I cannot tell which previous replies in threads I have read and marked useful.

                                      Is there any way this restriction could be lifted? I don't think we have ever had "spamming" of uncalled-for upvotes.

                                      @JonB Yes, that's unnecessarily low. I'll discuss with Mr. Community Manager and we will raise the thresholds.

                                        Later this morning I happened to upvote a @jsulm post again and it accepted it! So maybe you have already done this or it's happening by magic :) Or maybe it's just a different "day" in Pacific Time or something?! :(

                                          @JonB Hi! I have just changed the limit for upvotes: now there is none. Hope this works well.
