yag's profile

don't tell anyone that your yag is testing in prod

smol update:

• badges are now reorderable
  in general, everything reorderable is now using a common system under the hood. this also means that managing your bookmark collections is no longer a pain. things that can be reordered now have a dedicated grabber instead of the whole element being draggable.
• inbox is no longer broken
• new default badge: bi pride flag (i cant believe i literally did bi erasure fml)

thanks, and have fun

fixed now. thanks again

ah god damnit. thanks for letting me know

Impressive work, this forum is getting to become more user-friendly and useful than many big names. Loving the RSS feature and I'm gonna use it for sure. For badges, small feedback: when adding a badge, there's a mandatory "label" field and I'm not entirely clear on what it does.

rtfm /s

it's the badge's tooltip (and also alt text)

if you were on the RSS feed, you would have known there is now an RSS feed...

that's right, pyrom/porom now has feeds! a feed is created for every thread and every topic.

• in a topic's feed, you will see every thread filed under that topic, and its' starting post (OP). topic feeds are cached for 10 minutes.
• in a thread's feed, you will see posts for that thread. pretty straightforward! thread feeds are cached for 5 minutes.

great care went into designing the feeds, but they're still fairly basic. standard Atom (oh yeah, it's actually Atom and not RSS) does not map 1:1 to a forum. so the "article" titles are a best effort. for topic feeds, the title is "[new thread]: THREAD NAME", and for thread feeds, every response is "Re: THREAD NAME". i might be tweaking feeds here and there; i'm especially looking into pagination.

you can see RSS subscribe links on a topic's page and on a thread's page. they are also auto-discoverable by your feed reader extension of choice.

badges are in! read about them in the badges section of the settings guide. you can see my badges on my usercard! tldr; they're 88x31 buttons that can optionally be clickable links. if you use mastodon, you can (probably) use your porom profile in your links field there and have it be verified. there's a bunch of defaults, but you can also upload your own.

also a new theme, "snow white", which is just a simple color edit of the default theme.

ok the default badges are exactly that. other default badges may be considered so im leaving the thread open

there is now a guides section. it's still a WIP, but it's eventually going to host the entire documentation for pyrom the software, both for users and developers/administrators. it has a few guides intended for users that should help get potential users started with the basics. feedback welcome.

yeah, good idea! i'll add the suggestions i like to the top post.

we also need pronoun badges
