On Profile, hovering the mouse to the avatar offers the "Change icon" option which then throws a permission error (wanted to check if this reads Gravatar for now, I don't mind if so, but this might throw off someone).
cannot nest Code/Quote/Spoiler formatting, including quoted posts.
quoted posts can not be edited, it's all or nothing, with most of it hidden behind a non-optional expansion button (spoiler tags do this just fine, as desired)
pasting text into a spoiler often gets added or split up somewhere other than the current cursor location.
WYSIWYG
Unsure if new issue or fluke, but when you made the previous post @JuliusBorisov , everything I was currently writing for this post was deleted and had to start over from scratch. Actually had to refresh the page for the text box to reapear.
I suspect attachment permissions will have to be set up for every forum section separately. For now, they should be enabled in this section. I'll get to it in a bit.
I never truly noticed how much my periodic playthroughs depend on these forums until they were gone for a short while. Glad it's back and thanks for the work

It appears I can edit all posts. I found out by mistakenly clicking the cog of this thread, and I may have added a next line at the end in the first post (I see, it states I was the last to edit).
Perhaps you gave me too many rights. If true, please change my permissions, and please check if I changed something erroneously in the first post... I do not want to mess things up .
Well, seems we are back after some weeks - nice! My first impression is that the new forums look nice, but I am a bit unhappy about seeing a lot less topics on the screen than before (everything is bigger). Are there settings to change that?
The categories should be better split in their own sections like in the previous forum, right now only the Modding Section is properly separated from the others.
Is there any chance you will introduce reactions to posts, such as Like, Agree, Insighful? They were a nice way to interact and show appreciation to posts.

And I loved the amount of useless posts it avoided. Like this one. I would have just hit the agree button.

My guess is that it would have happened already if it were as simple as ticking a box... besides, according to their Twitter, Beamdog is on holidays until January 4th, I don't think we can expect any more adjustments until then. I'm glad at least they got the forum back online before closing for this year.
in it and I got a different preview from the actual results. Since it's the opening post to the thread it seems to follow different rules from the rest of the thread - I'm told I am allowed to use "simple HTML" in the post instead of "BBCode".
This has the side effect that previewing the post uses a different style of codeblock formatting than the actual post does.
I forgot to mention one thing: the signature, we need to have one so we dont need to keep mentioning our specs everytime we have a problem with the games.

Yes, exactly. These really need to be brought back.
I'm not sure if I'm just blind or if it's too subtle for its own good or if there just aren't any, but under "Recent Discussions" I cannot tell recent discussions that I've read apart from recent discussions that I haven't read.
The Beamdog forums are back now.
Please provide feedback in this thread.
Known issues:
Save Drafts doesn't work for now
Forum search may be less advanced
Old polls don't display, but we have a new Polls plugin working (so new polls work)
Minion dice roll
It looks pretty slick! Glad to see our Likes, etc. are still recorded even if badges aren't. Missed you guys!

Just a quick heads-up: Beamdog is on the holidays until January 4. Please keep sharing your feedback about the forum, we'll look into small things we can do when we return in 2022. However, overall, the functionality of the forum has decreased, but that is what we had expected (as seen in the OP).

It's factually correct. This is the open-source Vanilla forum. It's just no longer hosted there.

While I'm glad to see the forum back online, it's a sad fate that most of these issues came with it:

You do not want me with these powers.
What about adding support for inline code?
Neither this nor this nor this
are working as expected...

Have a good time during these holidays, all!
No, we didn't get employed all of a sudden
Happy holidays to everyone!
