Just a tip. I had some trouble logging in. I got error messages saying something along the lines of "unable to verify the referral URL".

As I tried to find steps to reproduce it, it seems to have been resolved. This makes me think it might be a cache issue. Anyone trying to log in and getting a similar error message should try and empty their cache and reload the tab/window to see if that solves it.

The bookmark plugin would be a nice addon.
Installed. Looks fine. It may need a minor change to display the topic links like the portal currently does, namely with link to new posts and unread posts.

It seems the bookmark plugin got lost somewhere during the migration process as it is not available anymore?

Yes. I also couldn't log in and emptying cache solved problem.

Formatting suggestions:

1) Left adjust text in "Forum" and "Topic Starter" columns.

I'm sure when all the minor bugs and formatting issues are resolved, in 6 months we'll struggle to remember what the old forum used to look like. That said, [ONLY] in its present incarnation, on a purely superficial basis I currently prefer the look of the old one.

The Forum and Topic Starter columns were actually center aligned to match the original design. Personally think they look nice centered but others may disagree.

Actually quite liking the lack of 'Who is browsing this topic', too few forums hide it and I've never understood the real value in it.

There seems to be an issue with login/cookies. If I browse to https://hydrogenaud.io and log in, that works fine. But if then visit https://www.hydrogenaud.io, I'm not logged in. I only noticed because I was testing incoming links from elsewhere were re-directed correctly - which they are.

edit: logging in at https://www.hydrogenaud.io redirects to https://hydrogenaud.io - perhaps all www links should be redirected to avoid confusion??

I can see messages in my Inbox, but not in the "Sent Items". Are they lost?

Any chance of getting back the location and date registered information underneath the user avatars?

Known issue, probably not lost:

You can switch back with the first button you see directly after the 'unsubscribe from this forum' action. Please test it.

Hey, thanks for info. I tried to look for it but to no luck. So I've read some wiki and it says that such button is only visible for members of this forum who belong to the group of 'Confirmed Dickheads'. Certainly you must know how I could join it, hell, maybe you could say a word for me to whoever's in charge of submitting into the group? Because if it by joining it I'd gain the ability to turn the look of the forum back to non-clusterfuck style, I would consider it.

Your influence here is rapidly diminishing. Unless HA suddenly values douchebags.

I think the new forum is a breath of fresh air.
That's so plausible, I can't believe it.

It seems I forgot to add the original site domain to the ReCAPTCHA site key, so registration was broken temporarily, as was any other action that required verification. This is fixed now.

Is it possible to remove the PHPSESSID parameters from links for logged-in users?

Edit: Saw the earlier post about anonymous users, so clarified my question.

Anyway to replicate the old home page with recent topics? On mobile it just goes to all the forums.

Great work btw :)

I, too, would prefer black text if the background has to be bright white..

The contrast should be as high as possible for proper accessibility.  Straight black (#00000) for text and white (#FFFFFF) should be the standard for content intended to be read.  Also the proper font hight should be specified in the CSS as 1em.  I do not come here for visual beauty, I come here for information.  Lots of the older audiophiles among us (oh, for example, me) have eyes that need lots of contrast.

The font size is already 1em for most text, and only variations of em sizes for different styles.

Style sheet contributions are welcome, including a whole new theme set if you prefer a high contrast design.

PHPSESSID in query string has been fixed, it was a bug with the queryless URLs replacement system, which didn't check for the presence of a cookie before inserting the session ID parameter. It also now checks if the client may be a robot or search engine, in which case it also eliminates the session IDs.

Is anyone having problems logging in? The minute the new forums went active, I could NOT login without having either two things happening:

1) A message stating my browsing session had "expired"

2) After typing in my username and password, getting a message stating I had to enter either one or the other to have my account details sent to me via email (I never got my e-mail at all)

IMO, some users account info got lost with the migration. Forcing some, like me, to create new accounts and start all over again, losing everything I had before! I would've loved to contact a moderator about this, but this "brillant" redesigned forum wouldn't even let me contact one! If there isn't a way to do this without having a account here in any way shape or forum, how can anybody get help??? Talk about asinine!

BTW: Why did there have to be a redesign anyway? The other version worked just fine for me!

BTW2: To other users going through something similar, I feel for you. I really do!  :(  >:(  ::)   :(  >:(  ::)

Account information was not lost in the migration, except for some old password hashes failing, requiring a recovery. If you PM me your old account name, I'll look into recovering it for you.

Good - that's the right way.  I have no particular quarrel with the site design except I would suggest that the main body of a post be full white, with quotes in a very light yellow or maybe blue for visual contrast.

Sorry for the mail failures, everybody. This damn machine didn't have any default SELinux profiles for anything, so I had to scan the audit log for every process and find what to add for nginx, php-fpm, sendmail, and postdrop.

In the previous forum-configuration, the "Unread"-feature was not listing any new posts in the foobar-subforums/"hosted forums".

Now, they're all listed, and it's rather spammy. Is there any way to ignore them and not list them on the unread-posts-page?

Re: Migrated to a new forum system

Thanks so much, for me, this is a HUGE improvement (with the old forum soft, I always found fonts too small on Firefox Mobile).

One litte thing: I think the "mark forums read" (or similar) button could be positioned more prominently.

Certainly seems to be installed.
