Forum Updated to NodeBB 3.7.4

[Pedro]

Hey Qt!

As you might have noticed, we have successfully updated our Qt Forum, now running on NodeBB 3.7.4.

If you notice any bugs or particular issues, please contact me so we can address your report.

Hope you enjoy the new look! :)

@Pedro

I like the new design overall, the website looks more mature now :)

My first thoughts:

1. Have noticed, that you can't see upvotes anymore (IDK if intended?!)

   • when looking for an answer myself or reading other topics here and there, I find it quite helpful to know who upvoted this specific solution - a "Qt champion", the author or some random guy with (probably) less experience (or even bot/banned user).
     Would be great to have this feature in again :)

2. and the contrast of the "button" (the hover style) of posts you have upvoted yourself, is very poor in my opinion. Just slightly darker/grayer than posts you haven't upvoted yourself.

   • the old arrow style button turned light green and was better to see right away.

Edit:

3. Once you scroll down a topic with couple replies, the topic "header", where you can watch a topic, sort the replies or answer (on the left) is undocked from the page and sticks to your screen while scrolling, which is good.
   However, there is no way to get back directly to the category where this current topic is in.

   • would be awesome to add the sub-forum category, or the full path as on the top of the page, to this header (or somewhere else), so that you don't have to scroll all the way up.
     Because if you refresh the page or click the Qt Forum logo, you get to the main page, which is pretty annoying when you want to check out different topics out of one sub-forum/category.
     i.e. "... -> General Talk -> Announcements" here.
     And some categories are even 3 or 4 "layers" deep, so you have to browse through all of them again to get where you were before you entered the topic.
     I hope it is understandable what I'm talking about :)

1. You can: put the mouse over the post and you will see the number of upvotes at the bottom of the message. And if you move mouse cursor over that number you will also see who upvoted.

@Pedro One somewhat annoying issue: in code blocks where you can scroll left/right the small button to copy the content (at the top right side) hides code underneath it.

Nope. For me the tooltip only says "Voters" and not who voted like before.

I would really prefer if I can immediately see the number of upvotes instead of hovering over every single post.

Agree. I also see this as a step back.

[J.Hilk]

@jsulm I would thumbs up this, but no-one is gonna see it until they hover over it....

thumbs up

@SimonSchroeder hello, I'm the developer who is responsible for the Forum upgrade. This changes is not intended by us and basically came from the upgraded NodeBB core. I will try to investigate and bring back the old style

Nope :(
Like @SimonSchroeder said, unfortunately not. I was like this before, before the Update.
Now I see "Voters", "Wähler" or whatever, depending on the language my browser/system currently uses.

Yep, also this.
Maybe just make the stuff that is displayed on hover (votes, reply button, quote button...) permanently visible

@Pl45m4 said in Forum Updated to NodeBB 3.7.4:

For me it works. It only shows "Voters" if there are no upvotes. Are you sure you hover the upvote count > 0?

I am ;-)

What browser are you using? Neither Chrome, nor Firefox works.

I've discussed this with the designer and updated the upvote indicator styles. The updated style is right below

Worked well for me. I'm using the latest Chrome Version 124.0.6367.119 (Official Build) (arm64)
Tested also with Firefox, MS Edge, and Safari

[jsulm]

Works for me with Firefox

[mpergand]

Firefox up to date (125) on macos

[Nhan Nguyen]

@mpergand Okay it's bizarre. Can you click on the post count to see a modal like that?

If you can't, I suspect there were JavaScript issue somewhere

[J.Hilk]

I can't see it when I'm logged out, only when logged in!

[johilk]

@J-Hilk
And this account without mod status also can't see the upvoters

Same for me as @mpergand reported.
Tested Firefox, Chrome and even Chrome for Android. No user votes visible.

I remember the dialog from long time ago, but it somehow stopped working when the "old" Forum was updated. I think it was around the time, when the down-vote button got removed.
Since then, I only had the "hover tooltip" function left to see which user upvoted. Clicking the number didn't do anything.

Currently still no dialog on click or tooltip when hovering :(

So my

wasn't just fun haha.

Being logged in or not doesn't change anything for me so far.
