    @SGaist any change this is colliding with help-bot avatars or other "floating" widgets that we use?

    That was previously the case, I remember making 2 tickets about that. Was on the official website and not here

        @J-Hilk The auto hiding bottom bar is likely going to be the thing I like the less. Personal preference but I currently like to have stuff at the top.

        I am not sure what you are referring to with help-bot avatars and "floating" widgets though.

                  Hey Qt!

                  We are soon updating our Forum, and with it some UI changes are coming.
                  I would like to give you all a heads-up for better transparency, and to also prepare you for our new Forum look.

                  When is our update scheduled?
                  We are planning to update it on May 2nd. Therefore, expect the Forum will be down on this day for a few hours.

                  Which version are we upgrading our Forum to?
                  Our Forum is currently running on NodeBB v2.8.0, and we are moving forward with its latest NodeBB 3.7.2.
                  If you would like to read the specifics, you can refer to this page.

                  Is our Forum getting a new look?
                  Yes! Our Forum will be based on the Harmony theme as it comes with many advantages.
                  Additionally, it will be aligned with Qt’s new brand identity.

                  The Harmony Theme
                  This new theme will present us with a fresh and modern design, also making the use of icons less heavy, therefore cleaner. Another example is that when inside inside a sub-topic page, the title of the sub-topic is clearly indicated at the top of the page, so you understand better where you are at.
                  One important thing to notice is that our navigation bar will move to the left of the screen.
                  You can view the actual mockup here; let us know your feedback!

                  We understand that changing is mostly good and might take some time to adjust.
                  Count on us to bring the best of the Forum experience to you.
                  Our Forum update is supervised by the Community, IT and Design teams altogether.

                  Please reach out in case of any questions or concerns.

                  Stay tuned for updates!

                  It's maybe worth noting that actually viewing the mockup requires both having a Figma login (or registering for a new account), and requesting access to the file, which can only be viewed after the request is approved by Qt.

                  I assume all requests will be approved, but point is it's very far from an instant-gratification sort of thing.

                    @FeRDNYC hi,

                    I think the access expired or something like that. The mock-up was definitely accessible when the thread was started.

                        Hello everyone, I'm sorry to announce that we have to postpone the Forum Update until 29, April 2024 because of some found critical issues after upgrading NodeBB to v3.
                        I am trying to fix those so we can have the most stable Forum release. Thanks for your understanding. @Pedro Please update the date on the banner so it won't cause any confusion to forum users.

                          Hi,

                          What about the use on mobile ? Did you also took that into account with the new theme ?

                          @SGaist Just a teaser, I believe we will have decent mobile support for mobile devices including

                          • New bottom mobile navigation layout (Some navigation var behavior can be personalized in Profile -> theme settings)
                            60f27b03-c2df-49ad-8b83-652f08f8fd77-image.png

                          • Progressive Web App support with correct Qt icon for Android Google Chrome & iOS Safari

                          • Post navigator is still at the bottom but with Qt development cool styles :D

                                      @SGaist Just a teaser, I believe we will have decent mobile support for mobile devices including

                                      • New bottom mobile navigation layout (Some navigation var behavior can be personalized in Profile -> theme settings)

                                      • Progressive Web App support with correct Qt icon for Android Google Chrome & iOS Safari

                                      • Post navigator is still at the bottom but with Qt development cool styles :D

                                        45315e8b-1ff4-432c-b590-bc35cdf5945d-image.png

                                      I don't care so much about the styling, but I find the switch from up & down arrows to left & right arrows there really strange. Left / right makes it seem like you'd use them to switch between different threads, not go to the start / end (AKA top / bottom) of the current thread.

                                      (As a reminder, the navigator currently looks like this on mobile, with the same sensible up/down arrows as on the desktop...)

                                          @Nhan-Nguyen Just one more thing to check: performance. I still have an issue that when I want to check the forum, if anonymous, it's super fast but as soon as I am logged in, it goes down to a crawl.
