Chat seems broken (still)
toggledbitsT

@DesT I think I mentioned this some time ago, but Chat in this software seems broken. I normally use Brave browser, but it's same for Chrome. Haven't tried others.

Someone is trying to contact me via chat. I can see that here:

4a8a5332-2f25-476b-a9c9-decffb6a9c01-image.png

When I click on that message, or any message in this list, the header and navigation left/right of the side go away, and I get a page that looks like this:

f69b117b-8ac9-446b-8487-6d586b24ea29-image.png

It has no messages in it, not even the message that I can see the preview for in the previous image. Nothing I do from here seems to bring up any conversations. The user who messaged me isn't listed on the left. And if I click on any of the messages in the list on the left, nothing major happens: the tab title changes and the message in the left list I click on is highlighted gray, but no conversation is displayed and the middle of page stays blank except for the input area, it doesn't even display the full text of the message I clicked on. Since there's no navigation on the page, the only way I can leave this page is to use the back button or re-enter the URL in the location bar to start over.

Maybe I'm committing some kind of ID 10T error, but it's not obvious to me what it is. Just seems... not working.

Connect small (torch-sized) light bulb to smart home network
H

Hi
I am trying to connect a vintage radio to my home smart network, replacing the old parts with a smart speaker. I have a small light bulb inside the radio hooked up to a 6v battery that I also want to connect to the home network. Is it possible to get a smart device that I can use as a switch for this light bulb circuit? if not, I would be grateful for any ideas on how to connect a small (torch-sized - it needs to slot into a 10mm hole) light bulb to the home network.
many thanks

Was wondering if we can attach files in a PM to another member, would be very useful if we are attaching files with some sensitive password info or whatever

Site Bug?
toggledbitsT

While doing pretty much anything on the site, if you accidentally hover over a username in the "Who's Online" or "Board Statistics" areas, you get a pop-up with some information about that user.

The problem is that this pop-up pops up over whatever content you are reading, including possibly the post editing tool, covers a good part of it, right in the middle, and has no obvious way to close it. There is no close box on the panel, and it does not pop down/away when you mouse-leave it. It just stays there. You can even refresh the page and they come back. The only way I have found to get rid of them is to move away from the current page to another (e.g. using the "Account Info" link in the pop-up's hamburger menu). Transitioning between top-menu items (Categories, Unread, Tags, etc.) does not remove it/them.

It would be nice if these had a close box, or better yet, just popped away when the cursor leaves their boundaries. If that's a bridge too far, then no pop-up at all, just let me click if I want detail for that user.

Getting logged off all the tine
akbooerA

Is it, once again, just me, or is anyone else getting regularly logged off the site?

Over the last few days, every time I return to the site on my iPad, I have to log in again. This is new behaviour. I also access from a desktop iMac, and that seems perfectly
OK.

New notification flag, but nothing there
akbooerA

Is it just me (again) or do others get this? The little red bell appears on the notifications icon, but when I look, there are no unread ones there.

I can clear it with “clear all notifications” but it seems to happen again a few days later...

I thought it might be a good idea to link to this forum from Openluup and/or Altui running on Openluup, VeraBridge, ZwayBridge.

Wow, OK. I seem to have dark mode. I know I'm old fashioned but I can't stand it. Apart from in a terminal window 🙂

Any way we can change it back?

    So how do we get rid of them then?

    Officially, you can't! But I think the "dark mode" I can remove it, it's there to help people with the new theme and the new night mode...

      (And the first unread problem seems to be getting worse)

      The first unread, I need to double check, as I think it's working fine but I need to understand "HOW" it's working!

        @DesT

        The first unread works sometimes... like the others are reporting, it often also takes me to the middle of the thread, very rarely to the top. Not sure what is going on with it.

          I think that, the "first unread", is related to a "timeout" on how long you are reading. I would need to ask more detail about that to the "nodeBB" team!

            Well it makes no sense to me, and behaves differently from every other forum I use or have used. Would love to hear what they say

                I agree with @Elcid. I will simply remote it, if possible. I'm a fan of minimalism and on a community forum that's even more important. Thanks for the hard work @DesT !

                      @Elcid I did some test and looks like your issue is coming from a conflict with the old theme on the forum! Can you try the same thing using "Incognito mode" ?

                      From the screenshot, looks like with the width of your browser, you should be in "mobile view" and the sidebar shoud completely be hidden

                        I did something now!
                        I disable the last orange box and I will try to put the mission of the forum in the footer. And I change the last widget (stats) to be visible only to super moderator team!

                            The light bulb in mobile is under the "burger menu" that you don't have in screenshot 'cause you are too wide to see it.
                            BUT, one thing for sure. You are having a "cache" issue 'cause you are having item on the left side that are supposed to be under your "avatar" at the top right icon!

                            You should really try to reload the forum/page and force an empty cache! In Firefox you can try to hit F12 to display the DEV tools and then F5 to reload the page!

                            F12 again to hide the DEV tools

                              No sign of a hamburger.

                              I cleared cache and refreshed when you changed dark mode, as the forum would not load. once i did forum loaded fine.
                              I have done it again to be sure. This is mobile firefox so f12 and f5 have no effect.

                              The menu on left only appears when i drag left any where on screen.So copy and paste is a problem

                              Edit/ the menu problem has cleared its self.
