Re: Eventual forum upgrade plan
Thanks for all your work, Jukka and Phil!
“Post quoting” reminded me of something: Back when the tweet links were introduced they took the position of the post numbers, which in return vanished. It’d be great if we could we have these back, there are lots of users who referenced in-topic posts with only numbers. These references are now “broken”.

What you need is a FluxBB plugin that splits lengthy posts into several short ones ;)
(And post more silly OT remarks like this one…)

As we are going away from mods, these numbers are going to be back. We are probably going to leave the repeating Tweet links out and only have one for the topic, which uses the topic title as the tweet message. Posts are bit too long for a tweet.

Looks shiny, but it currently doesn’t have stable releases, and those gammas are tagged far and between. We aren’t really looking into changing the platform we are using, and if we were, one requirement would be a stable release.

@candyman
We are not changing software, just updating and improving what we already have (and doing a new theme).
EDIT: ok Jukka already posted, I should read the whole thread next time!

Are we keeping the topic search?

In topic search is a modification (a hack), so it’s not going to stay. What FluxBB doesn’t offer, and we can’t implement without modifications, doesn’t exists (only exception to this rule being Textile). The only search field visible on pages is the one that takes you to Google’s custom site search. We are currently experimenting with automatically prepending the topic title to search field, which will give you more relevant results.

Hi Jukka, I hope that this method will work. With some topics exceeding 200 pages it will be impossible to use the search function productively and effectively if the particular functionality is removed.

It could be argued that if a topic has over 200 pages then maybe a new thread should be started, regardless of whether an in-topic search is implemented.
An example being the ‘MLP – The Multi-Lingual Publishing Pack’ thread which is almost impossible to follow even with topic search.
