Forum Updated to NodeBB 3.7.4

@Pedro when looking at unread messages, there's no category QML & Qt Quick

[Pedro]

Hi @ekkescorner, perhaps it's a new UI issue?

I could find it as indicated in the screenshot below.
Otherwise, I might have misunderstood your report. If so, please elaborate so I can pass it on to IT.

[ekkescorner]

and this my screenshot

always was wondering why there are no unread Qml and Quick messages,
today elaborated and noticed that the category is missed

Firefox on macOS
same on Safari

https://forum.qt.io/unread - no qml
https://forum.qt.io/recent - it's there

Go to the category and check whether it is “ignored”.
In my case, that was the case. In fact, I ignore all topics from all categories except the ones I manually watch or have commented on.

@Pl45m4 where can I see if a category is ignored ?

Any status update on the hover tooltip for upvoters? I still only see "Voters" when I hover over the number.

I'm still really missing this feature...

I can't even see immediately who upvoted my own posts :-(

[Pl45m4]

@Nhan-Nguyen

any news regarding the voters' visibility for non-priviledged users?
I'm really missing this feature :(

[Nhan Nguyen]

@Pl45m4 Hello, after the investigation, I have configured the votes/voters to be seen publicly so the non-privileged users can see them now. However, seeing user profiles still requires users to have specific roles. Please verify and let me know

The old feature has been enabled! Please verify!

@Nhan-Nguyen

Awesome. The upvote user list works. Thanks :)

However, seeing user profiles still requires users to have specific roles

You mean the profile "popup" as I've mentioned here?

@Pl45m4 said in Forum Updated to NodeBB 3.7.4:

Another thing: the old forum displayed a small profile "popup", showing number of posts, the reputation and the profile info, when you clicked on a person's profile picture in a post.
Now you instantly "visit" the profile page this way, making you leave the topic where you are currently in. So you have to go all the way back.

I would rate this less important than seeing the upvote count (the actual upvoters) or an improved topic navigation, but the longer you use the new frontend, the more you'll notice things or habits that no longer work compared to the former version.

So it works, but again not for all forum user roles?!
Would be good to have it working for all authorized forum users, but it's not such a big deal now.
Happy to have the upvoters list back.

Thanks again :)

Ah no, basically, I meant the login is required to view others' profiles page (In detail).

Overall, It's great to get the verification that the oldie is back :D

I tested myself and this is the desired behavior.

IIRC guests were never able to visit user profiles and I think it's good like that.

The old forum version had some profile popup, where only a slightly enlarged version of the pic, the amount of posts and the overall reputation of this user were shown, when clicking a profile pic next to a post (no matter if logged in or not).
Currently you visit the profile instantly when clicking someones profile pic.
This is what I've noticed in my comment here.

[Nhan Nguyen]

@Pl45m4 I have found a different forum that uses the old version of NodeBB and found the "popup profile" that you mentioned (the attachment below)

@Nhan-Nguyen

Yup exactly this. Some sort of preview. Then, when you click the name in popup again, you get to the full profile page.
Don't know for sure if it was available for guests, but we had this for authorized users before.
I'm not "missing" this, I just found out that it's not there anymore :)

[Nhan Nguyen]

@Pl45m4

I've just dived into the source code and found that the "popup/preview" profile feature is only available in the old Persona NodeBB theme. The new Qt design is based on the NodeBB Harmony theme.
Since the profile popup does not bring a lot of value and you're not "missing" it, let it RIP then :D.

... as others haven't even noticed or also not missing it at all...
Nice-to-have, but doesn't add that much value ;-)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
