    On my site An annoying ‘n out of n’ banner comes over the reply button, and the forum bar is just below that
    So I can just see a fraction of the reply button but cant click it.
    I cant even screenshot it to show example now as that seems ‘disabled’ as a new ‘feature’

    Id like to stop screenshot disabled, and remove this ‘8 out of 8 banner’. Is that possible?

    I’ve just seen the duplicate post on NodeBB. Can you go to /admin/plugins/harmony and match the settings below then save

    That issue is caused by element positioning where the bottom bar should auto hide to prevent that issue. If that doesn’t work, disable the quick reply feature and see if that helps.

    @Panda NodeBB doesn’t disable the ability to take a screenshot. That’s at operating system level not application, so something else is stopping that.

    I’ll need a screenshot of sorts, or access to your forum to be able to see what’s going on.

    Thanks, can post now.
    I find it disconcerting that ‘out of the box settings’ dont work. If it wasnt for your help I would have broken forum now!
    Thats why sometimes I double post urgent questions on both forums as I appreciate your fast and accurate responses 🙂

    @Panda yes, for some reason, that is the case. If you need an urgent response, it’s probably better to post here because of the time difference.

    @kadir-ay-0 marking as resolved based on https://community.nodebb.org/topic/17109/manual-build-a-night-mode-for-harmony/5 Please do not raise requests in two places - here and the NodeBB forums. All this does is create unnecessary load for both parties.

    @crazycells hmm. That’s odd. I haven’t made any changes from recollection but I could be wrong. I’ll need to check. EDIT - very strange. I honestly don’t recall adding the below CSS block to alter the bottom bar, but you’re right… .bottombar-nav { padding: 0px !important; } I’ve removed this so it reflects stock Harmony.

    @DownPW Yes, it is. It’s set far too low meaning other elements with a higher preference will sit over the top of it.

    @Panda said in Email validation NodeBB: Did you configure that as a custom change to the usual quote icon. How do you do that? I notice on NodeBB site its a solid blue quotes Yes, I changed it. NodeBB by default users the free font awesome library whereas I use the pro (paid) version SDK have access to a wider set of icons, and at different thicknesses etc. The change of colour is just simple CSS.

    @Sala ok, but that’s still the same loop which is going to have an impact on the CPU.

    The real issue here is that most people consider forums to be “dead” in the sense that nobody uses them anymore, and social media groups have taken their place. Their once dominant stance in the 90’s and early 00’s will never be experienced again, but having said that, there are a number of forums that did in fact survive the social media onslaught, and still enjoy a large user base. Forums tend to be niche. One that immediately sticks out is Reddit - despite looking like it was designed in the 80s, it still has an enormous user base. Another is Stack Overflow, which needs no introduction. The key to any forum is the content it offers, and the more people whom contribute in terms of posting , the more popular and widely respected it becomes as a reliable source of information. Forums are still intensely popular with gamers, alongside those that offer tips on hacking etc.

    @Hari not sure from the consumer perspective, but Skype has been all but completely consumed by Microsoft Teams when it comes to business usage.
