Quote from: Jedi Master Baiter on January 21, 2020, 10:09:47 pmNot a big deal, but trying to attach images in text (instead of the bottom) is broken?

Fixed!

Quote from: xIceMan on January 21, 2020, 07:29:09 amAnother issue I'm having is time zone.
When I choose my time zone (UTC+1 = CET) the time is 4h ahead instead of giving me the correct time it's supposed to. This was also an issue on the old forum version

I set the forum's time offset to be 0, so it's now defaulting to UTC time.  You can pick your local timezone in the "Look and Layout" section of your profile so that the forum timestamps will be in your local time.  It's working for me, now, so I hope it works for you too :)

Feedback links in user profiles should be working again.  That was the first hard one ;D

Looks like they are still around (they are on the Reply page) but they're not shown in the thread view.  I can see about adding them back in.

It's useful for archival/posterity. Sometimes people change the subject of the first post which changes the context for later posts

AH, I dont get any PM notifications by email. I have definitely been receiving them before so this was definitely turned off to everyone. Also I changed my time zone for the correct one and it got reset again once I logged in again... Please fix everything

Yeah, looks like email notifications got turned off somehow.  I turned them back on and did receive an email when I received a PM, so please let me know if it starts working for you again.

Not sure about that one.  I changed my timezone to CEST and it showed me the correct time.  I logged out, cleared cookies, and logged back in and it still showed the correct time.  What steps are you taking to set your timezone?  Which times are showing as incorrect?  Also, I will note that when you are logged out that the timezones are all in PST (since that is the server's timezone) -- it is only modified when you are logged in.

How to access outbox of private messages?
Ok, got it, but I think it should be places there too:


And btw, when browsing the forum in mobile web browser, there are no topic dates/info about author/last message date, just the titles.

Linking to a certain post seems broken. Also sometimes when I press the NEW icon on a thread it doesn't scroll down to the newest post, and shows the top post instead.

Can't access profile or PM, it's all gone.
This is what I see in my forum bar, using the latest Firefox.

There should be another menu in a white bar at the very top of the forum:
