Sackgesicht I created several topics under Cobalt 8 forum, but it seems there is a problem with category assignment .. they dont show up

I have replied. Also all topic that was created without categories now accesible in forum root. I'll slowly work then out and reassign category.

Getting better and better each day :)

Quotes: The light mint colors are much better now.

Editor: Still have a "personal problem" with the dark scheme. Almost black. o.k. for real code display, but for commenting?

Editor: Most important! Still issues with line-break and/or new lines. How to get AND keep regular linebreaks or simple paragraphs?!? The removal and re-formatting drives me crazy.

Avatars: On right side. Much better and easier to assign the comment to the actual author. This also solves the visual flow that was mentioned by Jeff! No more "endless post", the author info creates a subtle distinction between posts.

Private: Thanks for the icon and color... but it seems the private option checkbox does not work 100%. I can set a comment to "private" once and forever... but can't toggle back to a normal post?! Just checked it again with this post. Not working!

Rock-on! ;-)

Feature request

Voting and Weighting: I am really missing the "voting points" from AngelDesk. A great feature and sorting criteria, IMHO.

I know, Cobalt core comments has +/- but I think about a voting number for the initial parent topic. Or simply utilize "Favorite" feature and its count for it?

Editor: Typo and heading. Does it make sense to offer "H1" as format? I think, you can get rid of it in th toolbar. The article and page header is already H1... everything else should have a lower Heading#.

pepperstreet The removal and re-formatting drives me crazy.

We have an issue with that. When you edit comment new lines are striped. Actualy to eneter paragraph you have to enter 2 lines. In markdown one line break is still a paragraph. It is done that you could enter text for text files limited width.

This is limited
test that will be
one line anyway.

I think you sow files like this where text is limited with usualy 80 simbols.

But you can also create new line without paragraph. For that you have to add to spaces at the end of the line

123
123

These are 2 lines one under the other.

pepperstreet Just checked it again with this post. Not working!

I see that post as none private. But I'll check.

Sergey But you can also create new line without paragraph. For that you have to add to spaces at the end of the line

2 SPACES ? I see, but that is so special and hidden, no average user will know or understand it.

2 RETURNS / ADDITIONAL EMPTY LINE: It does only work once. If you edit your comment, even this extra line is stripped off. Especially a big problem with quotes. After Edit comment... it merges your comment into the quote :(

Test for image & file

Here is an image named "Bildschirmfoto 2014-03-03 um 00.07.01.png"

And here is a file named "pkg_cobalt.j3.v.8.496.zip":

496

Conclusion: * Image upload o.k., Display not working? Filename issue? I see an "!" exclamation mark in front of the line?
* File upload works, but filename generation is really strange and "geeky". I would have to edit the shortened name in square brackets?! :(

pepperstreet 2 SPACES ? I see, but that is so special and hidden, no average user will know or understand it.

Most probably no user will need that. Usualy user need a paragraph.

As I have already mentioned, right now we have a problem with comments edit. If you edit topic it is ok. We cannot find out why it happens, but we will solve it eventualy.

pepperstreet Conclusion: * Image upload o.k., Display not working? Filename issue?

Yes I am aware. That is because spaces in the name. I have fixed that. You can try to upload it again.

pepperstreet * File upload works, but filename generation is really strange and "geeky". I would have to edit the shortened name in square brackets?! :(

Also fixed that. That was because of . in the name.

Sergey That is because spaces in the name. I have fixed that. You can try to upload it again.

Image upload test with spaces. Also noticed a little but important UI bug. The Status change popup menu expands to the left side. On an average-sized screen it is out of site. Clipped, and the options are not clickable.

pepperstreet Hello Sergey, 1. WHY can anybody change the status fields? It MUST BE RESTRICTED to author and admin/moderator!!!?!! 2. Private comment does work

• Status changes allowed for everyone on everything?

• Private comment toggle/checkbox has no effect. Only once. Comment stays "private".

• Comment edit: Upload button is very small and black. Looks like a text footnote, but not like a button/action.

Please, can you fix that annoying User1 warning ;-)

Should be fixed.

Sergey Should be fixed.

• Now, there is UserID# 75 warning ;)

• Private comment toggle does not work.

pepperstreet The Status change popup menu expands to the left

Fixed

pepperstreet Status changes allowed for everyone on everything?

It allow only to registerd users and not all statuses.

pepperstreet Private comment toggle/checkbox has no effect. Only once. Comment stays "private".

Fixed in next update.

pepperstreet Comment edit: Upload button is very small and black. Looks like a text footnote, but not like a button/action.

Fixed

pepperstreet Now, there is UserID# 75 warning ;)

Fixed.

PS. Maik please create new topics. It is hard to work with topic like this. And I cannot mark it solved.

Now the performance is nice.. much better than on angeldesk. ;-)

Sergey PS. Maik please create new topics. It is hard to work with topic like this. And I cannot mark it solved.

Really? Did not want to flood the new forum with topics about forum cosmetics and critiques. Since this topic is specific for the new forum launch, i thought this is a nice place to keep every thought about the new forum (all in one place). But if you want new topics... no problem ;-)

Sergey It allow only to registerd users and not all statuses.

Nope. I still can see and change any status. In list and full view !?

To me screenshots looks ok.

You can chose any topic type and I do not see where there should be a reason to limit bublic users with first dropdown.

And second is limited in fact here is what I see.

Much more statuses. You see only those that I think anyone can change.

Sergey Much more statuses. You see only those that I think anyone can change.

??? But the screenshot is not my own topic! Why should someone else change anything on another user's topic?!? Except he is an admin/moderator ?!? Makes no sense, and if even GUEST VISITERS can do this... imagine what happens to the forum in the near future.

Still not sure about the access for GUESTs. Isn't it a risc to give access to the Status fields in list/full view?

Since you allow guest submissions, I agree on access on new submissions and edit form.
But access to "AJAX" status feels strange and insecure to me.

There are only options that are save.
