@celeron55: I disabled the width attribute in this class and the problem went away.

Code: Select all

li.header dt {
  /* width: 100%; */
}

You can disable or set to 95%. Should work either way. I just tested with the dark theme CSS I use

I'm suggesting two things here

RTL in post

I'm thinking that some language under "discussions in other language" subforum don't have much people discussing in it because of lack of support of their language in phpbb.

One of them is the lack of automatic RTL detection, but since that might be too complicated to implement in phpbb, can you just add RTL tagging as a BBcode so that we can just manually tag RTL text when needed?

From this post on phpbb forum, it seems like it could be achieved by:
BBCode Usage:

Code: Select all

[rtl]{text}[/rtl]
HTML Replacement:

Code: Select all

<p dir="rtl">{text}</p>
Make sure to check display on posting page so users know they can use it.
if it's not possible to add it, it's okay
we will just fallback to using texts as images to make it display correctly then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

YouTube link in profile

There's field in profile setting that we can use to write channel link in this forum, but the field expects YouTube username and parses into
http://youtube.com/user/<username>

In the new YouTube, most users no longer able to get username unless you have high subscriber counts (and video views?). Many Minetest users who do have YouTube channel don't have such high subscriber count (and video view??) since the community itself is quite small (or rather, big but scattered around).

Plus, they changed username into "custom URL" [sic], especially since one user can now have multiple YouTube channels. The new form for custom URL is now
https://www.youtube.com/c/<custom url>
but all the previous requirements are maintained so most channels still can't get custom URL anyway.

However, all channels on YouTube do have a different type of link in the form of
https://www.youtube.com/channel/<unique id>

Maybe you can either change the field from expecting the username/custom url to expecting the unique id instead, or just let people paste the whole channel URL or something?

You are able to upload zips, but my guess is that your file is too large. Files can not be bigger than 1 MB, so if your file is larger than that, you'll have to upload it to some other website.

ContentDB accounts currently always have the same username as the forum account, so you can directly link to https://content.minetest.net/users/$username/

@Miniontoby

Yes, I was able to connect my forum account to contentdb. The first time I tried it, it didn't work at all though and was giving time out errors. I came back the next day and it connected OK.

The URL BBCode tag does not work when the URL has the “ircs” URL scheme.

[url=ircs://irc.freenode.net:6697/#minetest]ircs://irc.freenode.net:6697/#minetest[/url]

By the way, I think this thread should be moved to the Problems subforum, it's hardly news anymore. ;-)

I think it should be closed. Individual problems should always be handled in individual threads.

Sure, fells faster now - but that judgement need about 5 days so see it is always like this,

but a bit of surprise, I didn't see any announcement about it (a plan, a preparing)
and was hit fully
nice: they do backup
ohhh: they move the forum
as often, decisions around mt are just there ... I just hope only moved, and no change of compatibility also

I moved devwiki (dev.minetest.net) also. I had to update mediawiki, and as a result there are some glitches in the ParserFunctions usage for the languages. I hope someone with mediawiki experience is able to fix it. All the extensions are still enabled, but they are updated versions.

If this is on GitHub like most of Minetest stuffs, it may serve to set up a "Help Needed" on this issue if you haven't already.

Yes, indeed,
but the best surprise: The Forum is faster now !!!
(That surprise would also be nice in MT ... but not as important as the forum was)

Well done decision, absolutely worth the move

Yes! The forum is much faster and responsive since it's back online.

Let's all hope that this time the improvement is permanent :)

Should the forum be redirecting http to https? Because at the moment, typing in "forum.minetest.net" goes to http instead of https, including the login page?

It goes to HTTPS for me by default. I can go to HTTP manually if I try though. HTTP probably should be disallowed or something though since you can try to log in with it.
