Does anybody know why this

 - Text
  - Text
  - Text

Sometimes leads to this:

• Text
• Text

and sometimes to this:

• Text

?

It’s quite annoying if you want to use it more than once in a post and it looks different every time.

[Stefan]

It might depend on what’s before the list. Cause if you don’t start with a headline, the list isn’t rendered at all:
-Text

[paulakreuzer]

Yeah but take a look here:

F-Droid Apps for Fairphone

This is no longer a #wiki since this post was never updated regularly enough.

find the last version here

#<a href="https://f-droid.org/">F-Droid</a># is a repository (app store) for <a href="https://forum.fairphone.com/t/fairphone-forum-dictionary/5309/7">free libre and open source</a> apps. I’d like to gather the most important (and later on some more fancy) apps here and provide additional information like do they work on the FP1 or FP2. Key: :on…

I don’t see what could possibly be different in the lists.

EDIT: Correction: Only the first sub list is rendered without the additional line break.

[Stefan]

Must be a bug in the Discourse software.

[paulakreuzer]

Or its meant just for lists without any line breaks, eg:

• Text
• Text
• Text
• Text
• Text
• Text

but if you add a line break after the 3rd “text”:

• Text

• Text

• Text

• Text

• Text

• Text

[Friek]

Hello,
in a post one can either reply to the post or reply to a reply…
My posts are shown with all the replies just under each other, not in any hierarchy. Is this possible? I have searched the preferences and not found anything.

[paulakreuzer]

Posts are always in a chronological order, but if you reply to a post - which is not the one before yours - there will be a symbol on the top right of your post. If you click it you’ll see the post you replied to.

For demonstration purposes I replied to @Stefan’s post above.

One can mention categories now, using the hashtag: e.g. #meta renders into #meta

[TobiasF]

Let’s try it with spaces: #software:bug-reports #software:fp2-android-5-1

Oh, you actually have to write “#software:bug-reports” and “#software:fp2-android-5-1”.

[paulakreuzer]

You just have to write #f and you’ll get #software:fp2-android-5-1 as a suggestion.

[TobiasF]

@paulakreuzer

You just have to write #f and you’ll get #software:fp2-android-5-1 as a suggestion.

I got these suggestions, without them I wouldn’t knew that these “hashtags” are written in such a way.

[Stefan]

A list of category hashtags can be found here:

List of category hashtags

Hi everybody, since the last update, the Fairphone Forum can handle category hashtags. You can use them to create a click-able link to a category. A list follows: #fairphone-help renders into #fairphone-help #fairphone2help renders into #fairphone2help

(It’s not complete as yet.)

how does a rating poll work?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

[DjDas]

It seems it calculates the mean of the rating values, I tried to change the vote from 1 to 4 and it increments the rating a bit between the first choice and the last one

Very handy
