A few things - Pinning Sidebar, Post Numbers etc.

SeeD

Was trying out the forum here and would like to point out on some user interface issues.

Pinning the left sidebar (Desktop) - Make the browser remember the pin feature.
When I pin the left sidebar and refreshes the window, browser forgets that it was pinned earlier.
Testing it out: just simply open a thread, pin the left sidebar and then refresh the page.
Post number. I am unsure but I think the push feature still need some work. Add post numbers so that its easy for people to know that they are on the last discussion already.
I believe the columns for the tags on the left sidebar can be enlarged a little. Perhaps
Tag Name
Short Description Line 1
Short Description Line 2
Title change. Not sure if this is an admin setting, haven't checked it out yet. Wanted to change from "Couple things" to "few things". LOL

Overall good stuff. Looking forward to more updates.

SeeD Welcome and thanks for the detailed feedback. 🙂

Pinning is actually remembered. When you go back to the forum index and then click on another item in the list, the pinned list will again be there. It's only when you directly visit a discussion (e.g. by refreshing) that the list is not shown. Maybe @Toby can chime in and explain whether this is intentional.
Yeah, the Pusher extension was created in a hurry and we'll refactor it.

Yes, mods do have the ability to change titles. Your wish is our command!

Thanks for the comments, and welcome to Flarum! 🙂

Dominion Thanks a lot! What about a setting for users to edit their own title?

@Toby Thanks.

Also something to point out.

Dominion changed the title from A couple things - Pinning Sidebar, Post Numbers etc to A few things - Pinning Sidebar, Post Numbers etc..

This is not exactly the easiest to read. Perhaps bolding the titles and properly paragraphing them ...

Dominion changed the title
from "A couple things - Pinning Sidebar, Post Numbers etc"
to "A few things - Pinning Sidebar, Post Numbers etc.."

Low priority stuff but it is definitely easier on the eyes.

Just something which we haven't implemented yet. There's an issue for it here.

You should be able to edit your own title by clicking the dropdown next to the reply button on the right, and selecting "Rename":

If you can't, then that's a bug!

I like it. Would be helpful if you could create an issue for this on GitHub! 🙂

Here's an off-the-wall suggestion:

Why not just change the message to simply:

Dominion changed the title.

When you click on the link, it pops up a box with the old and new thread names, formatted for easy viewing.

After all, we can see the new title at the top of the page. And how important is it to know the old title at a glance?

Just a thought...

SeeD LOL! You're doing great! Keep it up.

Thanks! 🙂

Franz

I agree, the renaming notice is almost always hard to read.

Dominion

Toby You should be able to edit your own title by clicking the dropdown next to the reply button on the right, and selecting "Rename":

Oh, so it's not just mods then?

... Only been a mod for a couple days, and already I've forgotten what it's like to be a normal user. 😛

SeeD

Toby Yes, I can see the rename button when I'm looking at the tag page. However, giving us an option to change the title in the discussion page can be really helpful

I also notice that the (colored) tags on the left sidebars are linked to the discussion page and is not linked to the tag url. This is helpful for mobile but not exactly the best for desktop. For desktop, tags and member name should link to their respective pages. Your call Toby 😃

@Dominion LOL! You're doing great! 😛 Keep it up.

Github issue raised.
