Re: Forum and server updates - Moving, fixes, and new admins.

For one, that recommendation comes from a time when 80 columns was a standard width for punch cards , and later for CRT terminals. What relevance it has today is a mystery to me. For another, that's why there's a [return] key on every keyboard. I don't think this is because of the old terminals, bu...

Re: Forum and server updates - Moving, fixes, and new admins.

Separately: Would be great to have @mentions. Example: I want to call for @golinux attention. I just mention their login and they are notified. Was it ever considered to switch from the generally good phpBB to some "next-gen" platform? Say Discourse or Forem (what is powering dev.to).

Re: Forum and server updates - Moving, fixes, and new admins.

Other differences aside, one is clearly full-width, the other has a bunch of blindingly-empty whiteness on either side. Notice how more content is available with less scrolling when the view isn't jammed in a 2/3 wide strip down the middle. [...] Yes. I know. My point is that I shouldn't have to, a...

Re: Forum and server updates - Moving, fixes, and new admins.

Well sure. If you've got some magic sauce to make prosilver full-width in a maximized browser window on a standard 16:9 monitor, without a bunch of client-side CSS overrides, that'd work for me too. Do I really need to post screenies to show all the wasted whitespace I'm talking about? Surely not. ...

Re: Forum and server updates - Moving, fixes, and new admins.

While replying to https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=149721, two more things came to my mind: Ability to mark threads as "solved" and showing them as such in the threads list Allow users to "close" threads. Also, "ordered list" button in the editor creat...

Re: Forum and server updates - Moving, fixes, and new admins.

I've been through every theme provided several times, and as far as I can see the theme selection dropdown is always in the same place, in the same preferences page. I am after the "which side to use for the user info", not the theme switch. Like this: https://f001.backblazeb2.com/file/de...

Re: Forum and server updates - Moving, fixes, and new admins.

It goes according to the theme you select, some have the user information on the right and others on the left. I love the markdown idea and there is a mod available for it. I'm going to look for any vulnerabilities with it before committing it. Ping me in a few to see if we can add it. I'd like to ...

Re: Forum and server updates - Moving, fixes, and new admins.

Minor thing, but perhaps allow users to switch avatars/author's information to the left side of the screen?

Also, accepting Markdown in addition to BBCode would be handy.

I thought so as "stable" images are not being updated as well. However it is 17th now and there are still no overnight builds.

[SOLVED] Bullseye non-free builds are out of date

Looking at the https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unof ... -firmware/, the most recent build was on 28th of June.

Is there a specific reason why weekly builds are on pause? They've been timely updated each Monday for the last 6 months or so.
