Forum Updated to NodeBB 3.7.4

would be awesome to add the sub-forum category, or the full path as on the top of the page, to this header (or somewhere else), so that you don't have to scroll all the way up.
Because if you refresh the page or click the Qt Forum logo, you get to the main page, which is pretty annoying when you want to check out different topics out of one sub-forum/category.
i.e. "... -> General Talk -> Announcements" here.
And some categories are even 3 or 4 "layers" deep, so you have to browse through all of them again to get where you were before you entered the topic.
I hope it is understandable what I'm talking about :)

I understand that you want the breadcrumb section below
to be "sticky" as the topic toolbar (your topic "header"). I totally agree that it will improve the category navigation experience. Let me discuss with the design team and get back to you later

I would say that seeing who upvoted the post is a lot more pressing. (BTW, having the upvote count visible all the time works. Thank you for that.) Spending a lot of time in the forum people will get to know reputable posters. Knowing that they upvoted a post is very helpful. (Some upvotes are more worth than others 😉.)

So far it sounds like only certain roles get to see the upvoters and plain users only see the count.

Any status update on the hover tooltip for upvoters? I still only see "Voters" when I hover over the number.

Hello @SimonSchroeder, I thought this topic was already resolved per the comment above.

[Nhan Nguyen]

@SimonSchroeder I'm sorry for the late reply, I was relocated to another project. It seems that your reputation is high (607) but don't know why you still have the issue with seeing the upvoter. I'm taking note of this issue and check whenever I have spare time.

[Nhan Nguyen]

Okay, as far as I have tested on my new account, it has to belong to a specific group to see the upvoters. In details, the moderator group was added to my new account and the upvoter hover tooltip started working. The "verified users" group is not enough for seeing upvoters now.

I need to discuss this topic with other moderators to decide that the "verified users" group can also see upvoters. Since I'm fully booked for the next 2 weeks so please expect a delay from me.

Would be great if you can also include the "topic navigation" in this discussion :)
One still has to go all the way back to the category overview when leaving a topic.

General comment:
I know that you guys just ported the forum to the new NodeBB, but from NodeBB's perspective, I fail to understand why there are so many "downgrades" in terms of QoL / usabiliy. The design is way better, but many good default features got removed (seems like) and in many places it feels clunky to work with the new frontend.

Another thing: the old forum displayed a small profile "popup", showing number of posts, the reputation and the profile info, when you clicked on a person's profile picture in a post.
Now you instantly "visit" the profile page this way, making you leave the topic where you are currently in. So you have to go all the way back.

I would rate this less important than seeing the upvote count (the actual upvoters) or an improved topic navigation, but the longer you use the new frontend, the more you'll notice things or habits that no longer work compared to the former version.

Not complaining, not blaming anybody, I'm just noticing :))

@Pedro when looking at unread messages, there's no category QML & Qt Quick

[Pedro]

Hi @ekkescorner, perhaps it's a new UI issue?

I could find it as indicated in the screenshot below.
Otherwise, I might have misunderstood your report. If so, please elaborate so I can pass it on to IT.

[ekkescorner]

and this my screenshot

always was wondering why there are no unread Qml and Quick messages,
today elaborated and noticed that the category is missed

Firefox on macOS
same on Safari

https://forum.qt.io/unread - no qml
https://forum.qt.io/recent - it's there

Go to the category and check whether it is “ignored”.
In my case, that was the case. In fact, I ignore all topics from all categories except the ones I manually watch or have commented on.

[ekkescorner]

@Pl45m4 where can I see if a category is ignored ?

I'm still really missing this feature...

I can't even see immediately who upvoted my own posts :-(

[Pl45m4]

@Nhan-Nguyen

any news regarding the voters' visibility for non-priviledged users?
I'm really missing this feature :(

[Nhan Nguyen]

@Pl45m4 Hello, after the investigation, I have configured the votes/voters to be seen publicly so the non-privileged users can see them now. However, seeing user profiles still requires users to have specific roles. Please verify and let me know

The old feature has been enabled! Please verify!

[Pl45m4]

@Nhan-Nguyen

Awesome. The upvote user list works. Thanks :)

However, seeing user profiles still requires users to have specific roles

You mean the profile "popup" as I've mentioned here?

So it works, but again not for all forum user roles?!
Would be good to have it working for all authorized forum users, but it's not such a big deal now.
Happy to have the upvoters list back.

Thanks again :)
