Apologies for the current server instability...
Unfortunately we'll have some downtime, Will try to fix this now.

@Lindon
Yup, confirmed..

I will update the forum software in the next days trying to fix this.
As always there might be some hiccups and newly introduced glitches, so please bear with me :)

Best,
D

Got it somewhat stabilised..

We temporarily ran into disk limit and the swapfile rotated like crazy. Fixed now.

Hope it holds, and will have an eye on it. Please let me know if you run into anything.

Best,d

Jeah,, got some issues right now. I am on it. D

@Oli-Ullmann

Oh, the .mkv trick might not work on all browsers.. would have to convert to .webm then..

:) Yeah, autoplay is not activated by default.

#2 Better Video Support

Due to popular demand I added more support for small videos to the forum.
The upload size limit is now increased to 16MB and supports the most common video filetypes: "mov, mkv, webm, ogg,.."

The uploaded video needs to be wrapped in a html video tag to be displayed in the post and can be customized with the html video elements (controls, loop, autoplay..)

Just upload the video in with "Upload File" dialog, and copy the reference into a <video> src="" tag.

<video width="520" height="280" src="/assets/uploads/files/1738592343911-2025-02-03-15-13-46.webm"> 
</video> 

<!-- use or convert your videos to .webm to reduce filesize --!>

With sound..

<video width="520" height="280" controls>
<source src="/assets/uploads/files/1738588497039-2025-02-03-14-12-07.mkv" type="video/mp4"> 
</video>

<!-- .mkv needs  type="video/mp4 and is not supported in all browsers --!>

Loop and autoplay video

<video width="520" height="280" loop autoplay >
<source src="/assets/uploads/files/1738585791656-donut.mov"" type="video/mp4">
</video>

Oh, and because we now added html support to the post composer, we now can also do stuff like this:

Jump to top

and add html and inline css to our posts.

@DabDab

Ok, I'll hook it up again. I don't know, I had the impression that quite some users use the HISE or Forum Link mainly as a page refresh and therefore dont need the link to the homepage (+ accidentally open it quite often and then have to backtrack).. Otherwise its a nice quick shortcut to the homepage, granted.

@Morphoice

Thanks for pointing this out. Made the timestamp sortable :).

And it indeed sometimes might definitely makes sense to sort the entries by descending post time. Now its just 2 clicks away: Sort by Post time and Save Preferences to set this as your default.

All best,

Got sth for you @d-healey :)

@orange

I added a new category named: "Newbie League".
Please let me know if there are any changes or additions you might need :).

Best,d

FYI: I took the update as an opportunity to change the font for better readability and to get rid of some quirks.. If you find glitches etc. please let me know and I'll adress it in the next days.

Best,
Do

@d-healey

Applied the latest update and switched to a new email backend. The layout is still lacking a bit, but i'll take care of that in the next days.

The search plugin hasn't been upgraded yet, so we still have to wait for the advanced filter options.

But most importantly: In the settings you should now find a setting with which you can turn the "CMD+F" Topic Search on and off. :)

Best,
do

@DabDab @Lindon
Ahh, this was changed to "only visible for logged in users". I set it to back to "visible for everyone".
Hope this solves it.

Hey @DabDab

First of all, sorry for the downtimes.. the latest update + search currently runs into memory overshoots and I'm still in the process of fixing this.

The latest design updates indeed don't show the upvotes anymore directly but only in a popup when you click on the little number.

Is this behaviour satisfactory for you or shall I try to change it to sth else?

Best, d

@d-healey

Had a try at fixing this, but the new search-backend (meilisearch) is still not supported very well. Will try a work-around and fixing the plugin but this might take a bit.
For as long as this is unsolved I have deactivated the Category/Tag searchbar, to not stress the server too much with faulty searches.

g,d

Sooooo, a few buggy hours, updates, broken dependencies etc... later the forum is trying to run properly again. (test test,, )

There will definitely be some glitches around, so if you stumble upon sth. please report.. I will try to fix them asap ;)

Best, do

Hey

I added a new search engine behind our forum search. I hope it performs better than the default forum one.

For this also had to do some server upgrades, so the forum still maybe throwing some issues. Please let me know.

All best,
Dominik
