Forum Suggestions

[StrangeWill]

I'm not just going to pull over Slack 1:1 wholesale, so throw suggestions in here for new forums, they're easy to set up but I just want to make sure they make sense/are going to get some use.

A section for local or otherwise events to keep an eye on would be cool.

I just added an "Events" under Devanooga, I was considering making a "Chattanooga" section for like, Chattanooga related stuff, may split that up, not sure.

Please direct me to the place where the shitposting takes place and I can tell @sam how he's objectively incorrect about things.

Oh, is this how we revive #holywars? A fancy new "Holy Wars" forum for us to die on stupid hills (as one does).

#objectivity?

Is there a term similar to the reddit [SERIOUS] we could use to put in the beginning of a thread to keep it high signal? Similar to how we keep chatter in threads in #opportunities? I say this with reference to my post about the free app list - my hope and intent was other replies might add more to the list and I was merely priming the pump. Any advice or recommendations on how to do that so we can have the occasional high signal, low noise thread are welcome.

We can create thread prefixes:

Thread prefixes | Manual | XenForo

End-user documentation for XenForo

xenforo.com

So we can give them tags/colors/etc. I think only one per thread but it's handy.

We'll probably want to reproduce the canvas pages we have on Slack with stickied posts over here

Random? Gardening?

 

[ryanmaynard]

#selfhosted? or Maybe it would be an ongoing thread in homelab? idk.

It's probably best as just a thread, but if it get noisy we can break it into a subforum or something.

Dark theme please :3

 

[StrangeWill]

Dark theme please :3

XenForo 2.3 (the next version) has a dark mode -- can't wait till that comes out because it also includes webhooks which will be really important for integrations.

The theme as a whole could probably be brought more into line with other devanooga styling. I’d be willing to tinker with the color styles if there is a desire

If you do, here you go: https://brand.devanooga.com/

May save a little time.

If you want to add a 'Mobile' section under languages, I'll happily start writing content on Flutter, Dart, React Native, Swift, Kotlin, SwiftUI, etc
