  @tekojo Eventually there is a possibility with the "groups" which are not used yet.

  Yes, they are different, which annoyed me initially.
  Then when you just need to remove one post in the middle of a thread, the separation makes sense.

  Well, the forum is about getting help with Qt and finding answers.

  Venting once in a while is ok, how do we otherwise know where to concentrate our work :)

  I'll talk with our designer (who honestly is a bit overworked, and I try not to push too much work on him on top of what he already has) and see how we could improve the layout.

  Deleting topics seems to be limited to admin level.
  Next version has finer grain control on user rights.

  Will get fixed.

  @SGaist
  It is a bit annoying, but recoverable at least. I thought that I am not the only one. Not sure if I have not reported this myself already.

  @koahnig there is a 3 minute timer on posting and editing for first users. Yes it's annoying when you make a typo, but very practical with spammers.

  "Mark Solved" under "Topic Tools" is not active yet.
  That is what confused. Hope that the new version will come out soon.

  I have had a lot of trouble formatting code on these new forums too.I think in the code formatting regard you can do as it was in the old forums.The users clicks on the code button and the tags are thrown in place.I have to mention that I like the new real time capabilities incorporated in the new forums.Good job anyone involved.

  Just a small suggestion, probably it would be easy enough to implement... could you make the forum automatically replace three apostrophes with 3 grave accent chars? I guess it would be easier than making the thread parser recognize new markups..? just my 0.02€ :)

  Thank you again and if you'll eventually implement it just let me (us) know so we can use the new feature ;)

  Yes, we do have the analytics on where they go, the getting started guide is the top thing, then latest release info (5.5 lately) and then info on QtCreator.

  Based on that we should have a direct link to QtCreator help.

  We switched on a more sensible connection handling system about 8 hours ago.

  If you still see these events, please tell here immediately (because we really hope this would fix a lot of the problems we have seen).

  @Wieland
  I wondered also already. Did you see some notification that I posted something recently?
  On Thursday (I think) I had started a post. A trigger for new posts would be the most logical thing.

  That is what it should do. (apparently in the next version)

  Indeed, temporarily the solution is to prepent [Solved] by hand. The forum software will automatically detect that and add the "Solved" tag.

  @mcallegari79 Don't know the exact number for the new forum; was quite high on the old one ^_^ I think things will improve over the next weeks as the community manager and front end developer are aware of this and some other issues and working on them.

  Our front end developer will be back from paternity leave very soon. Until then we'll live with small tweaks.

  Is it possible to mark a specific post (or even multiple posts) as the solution to a thread?

  I don't see that option. But by voting on answers, you get the desired effect.

  I'm not sure about that. In a long thread, there's no easy way to find the post with the highest number of votes. The discussion might continue for many posts, after a "solution" is found.

  There's the "sort by" option right below the OP. Just select the most votes option there.

  It would be nice if there's a way to highlight a particular post (e.g. a tick symbol like StackOverflow, or a coloured background for the post). This forum applies a coloured background, and shows a copy of the answer at the top of the page: https://lavag.org/topic/18798-suggestions-for-improving-2d-array-access-speed/

  That probably is doable as a plugin. As our time is limited, we need a thread on the website category with ideas for implementation. There we can pick up what is most needed.
  At this time adding a 'solved' tag for the OP is the most pressing need.

  I forgot to mark it solved before, sorry for that. I marked it now ;)

  Anyway, yes. My new username should've been T3STY_1 (since it said T3STY was already taken i had to pick another one). But right after I posted I noticed my username became T3STY (the username I had in my <old> account) and the old account was merged into the new account. That's just great!

  Looks like the only reliable way is to use the triple backtick with the language:

  ```cpp

  QString variable; someOtherVariable = variable; QFile file("stuff"); if(file.open(QFile::ReadOnly) { /* ... */ } widget -> setStylesheet("color: red"); widget . setStylesheet("color: red"); widget -> setStylesheet("QWidget { color: red; }"); QString variable; someOtherVariable = variable; QFile file("stuff"); if(file.open(QFile::ReadOnly) { /* ... */ } widget -> setStylesheet("color: red"); widget . setStylesheet("color: red"); widget -> setStylesheet("QWidget { color: red; }");

  @mcosta , you will get to the advanced search option when you do a normal search from the top and then in the results view, you'll have the search criteria in a drop down list before the answers.

  Unanswered posts doesn't exist, but it shouldn't be too hard to make as a plugin. Just need some time to figure it out.

  @gmabey :) I'll tell them. They have been so deep in work for the past three months, that they haven't probably had time to look.

  Also this is the normal problem for people who make the systems, they have the first accounts and don't look again.

  @tallia1 no, not for changes sake. We actually had to get to proper platforms.

  The forum redirects are coming, I'm just hesitant to turn them on on a Friday afternoon. It is something we spent a good deal of time thinking through.

  As for having to create new a password, sorry that was necessary, as there is no easy way to take those along without a security issue.

  It will look a bit ugly for the weekend showing the top categories and a 0 on thread counts, but next week I can work with our front end designer and make it nicer looking.

  As things didn't go like in the movies, I decided to sleep some after getting everything online.

  What ? No override command ??

  A lot of things got less cool… :D

  Hi !

  One other thing that could be good is to have a smaller title bar. I.e. on iOS Safari it eats a lot of space when in horizontal mode
