Forum update (Discourse 3.0)

Postcrossing News & Updates

@paulo I’ve noticed something else that I think has changed - not sure if this was supposed to happen?

When you click on a username, you see either a summary of information about the user or, if they have set their profile to private, you see a message saying so.

But, even for private profiles, you used to be able to see the user’s country. This is very useful information, given the postal restrictions still in place for lots of countries. But now, you see no info at all.

Or am I remembering wrong?

Ooooh and I like that the status shows up in the tag above too!!

37

I just noticed that < del > < /del > doesn’t work as before.
It’s red highlighted, but with correction lines.
It’s confusing.
I wonder why?

Have a look! red is wrong
Ohh this one has an underline, should not!
…but this works correct!!!

I love the new features!! :heart_eyes: Thank you for this!!! :pray: It´s very funny and informative, too!! :+1:

But one of the new changes is a little unhappy:
If you click on your time next to a post, a big window pops up and locks the whole screen, and I always have to close it, to scroll down.
So far, only a small window with the exact time has opened, which you could leave without closing and continue to scroll.
I know it’s just a small thing, but in certain games etc. it’s very annoying, if you look through a lot of times in a row, always close every window.
On the laptop it is no problem, you can place the cursor on the time and only a little information pops up.
But on cellphone it is a “little bit creepy”. :laughing: :grimacing:

But I don’t want to complain, it’s just a small thing. Otherwise everything is really good!! :+1: :+1: :+1:

how do you see those status updates? i can only see the ones if profiles are not set on private. so for example i cannot see @alter3ch0 status.
is that just me?

41

I can see it like all the others. When you just click the emoji, not the user name, you can see it. :blush:

How does ist work to put an emoji in the “What are you doing?” text field?

I found I can do it with my mobile keyboard, but it think there is also another way to use the forum emojis.

45

You’ll see one emoji there when you open the tool. If you click on that emoji, you’re able to choose another one.

46

Yes, I can add one in the emoji field, but not a second one

47

It looks great now. Thanks :blush:

48

On a (Windows) PC you can enter an emoji to the text field using WIN + .

49

I guess, it doesn’t work on mobile then?

50

On mobile devices you should be able to enter it with your mobile keyboard as you already wrote.

Both solutions are not native to the forum software though, just workarounds.

Yes, I tried to write the emojis like I usually do, like : smiley : , which doesn’t work.

Thanks for explaining :slight_smile:

52

I see a smiley emoji in your status text field…when I click on your little postcard emoji.

53

I added it via mobile keyboard, but first I tried to write it into the textfield :slight_smile:
