For the category “low hanging fruit so ripe it’s a shame nobody picked it yet”, I present to you this masterpiece in web design.
Thanks @leomakkinje for the shout out.

EDIT: and also thanks to @formerFP.Com.Manager for providing the asset!

EDIT 2: And thanks to the wonderful @urs_lesse for providing Rae with the asset! We’ve now come full circle!

[urs_lesse]

May I correct the record.

I only retrieved the asset from the 2017 Fairphone Community Design …

… which happens to be signed by Emelie, @Douwe … and a certain …
… Gabrielle …

P.S.

Note it’s Gabrielle with a double-L

More goodies brought to us by Leo:

:community_round: and :community_square:

 :community_round:    and    :community_square:

We briefly considered these before, quite a while ago, but while there wasn’t much interest expressed back then, no one seemed to really oppose them then either. So I asked Leo to add them now and hope they can be useful.

Thanks @leomakkinje!

I think the event plugin (Agenda) currently has a time issue. When I put in the time from Aachen’s next event (18:00 to 20:00) and confirmed this, the plugin would eventually add one hour: 19:00 to 21:00. I was only able to get the right time by entering a time slot one hour early (17:00 to 19:00).

I suspect this is currently the case with Grenoble, too? @LowMemory

[yvmuell]

The next Aachen meeting will be after time change…maybe thats the reason?

@urs_lesse

Yes, you are totally right: I had to (re)set meeting hours one hour early (18:00 to 21:00) to see 19:00 to 22:00 on forum after save.

@yvmuell

meeting will be after time change…maybe thats the reason?

I confirm that too.

I cannot see this time “unshift” behavior when setting meeting hours before (French) hour change (of March 27),
It happens only after March 27 for me.

[urs_lesse]

So … I’m not sure now. Is this a bug? Should we report it? After all this might be happening every six months.

I see the Daylight Saving Time switch in the USA happened just last sunday, so maybe this setting can just be changed for our forum?

P.S.: I vaguely remember we had a similar issue with a Hamburg event a while ago, but haven’t found the discussion yet. @Ingo?

P.P.S.: Found it: 🇩🇪 Treffen in Hamburg für alle Fairphoner*innen - #532 by Smojo and following (German, sorry) – a 2 hour difference here though.

UPDATE: I have reported this to Forum Admin Support.
UPDATE 2: No immediate remedy according to Leo. Recommends to research on meta.discourse.org

[urs_lesse]

For the time being, I would like to urge everyone posting an event to always include the time slot of the event in the text of the first/original post (in addtion to the plugin data) and ideally also in the most recent reply in order to clarify things. This will also help to allow other forum members to quickly spot discrepancies and fix them.

Let’s also have a look at the current events again on Sunday, 27 March 2022.

UPDATE (21 March 2022): Right now I entered the event information for the Kiel video meetup and I did not need to enter a wrong time to get the right time – it worked without manipulation.

[urs_lesse]

Just to let others know: I made some minor edits (most notably: “Fairphone Forum” → “Fairphone Community Forum”) to the permanently pinned Welcome post and added a German translation.

[Alex.A]

I added a French translation and added an option to jump to each language on the top

Shouldn’t this favicon also be used for the main Forum icon:

as in this lousy mockup:

?

[anon9989719]

Used to have that one, now I have the less attractive round one with hands, well blobs.

An F would be usefull. Even Ff

@urs_lesse

When I try to pin a topic globally, I can set a date, but don’t get access to the time (I’m shown the grey “no drivethrough” road sign where the cursor is supposed to be)

This issue has been resolved with the new theme.

A couple of days ago I noticed that posts in the category “Market-Offer/Search” didn’t show up under Latest when logged in. I thought perhaps it was related to the Forum Maintenance of Friday the 20th.
Then I realized that categories may be Muted, and in the Preferences that turned out to be the case for “Market”, and also for “Uncategorized”. I never muted anything on purpose though.
So I’m wondering if I somehow may have selected the category and clicked on the bell icon and changed to Mute inadvertently – without noticing? Not very likely, I’d say, esp. with “Uncategorized”.
Are there other ways in which this can happen (too) easily?
Or could there perhaps be a connection with the Forum Maintenance after all?

[urs_lesse]

If you can reproduce the issue – have a look if in between “all categories” and “Categories”, the tag selector is set to “all tags”? (if not, this might explain it)

I noticed that the Forum sometimes is not getting loaded in the browser. The loading bar stuck at 30% or doesn’t even show up. Got that issue on FPOS and on LOS20. I’m using Fennec wich is a rebuild from Firefox. Can’t say if it’s a fault of the browser because I don’t like working with others. Somebody experienced the same problem?
