    Hello Mark,

    I just tested the functioning of the scroll bar and I saw this bug:

    https://i.imgur.com/VQw5zw5.mp4

    It should be moved to the left so as not to encroach on the collapse button of the custom footer navbar.

    Then, when we play with the collapse button of the custom footer navbar we should:

    • When the custom footer navbar is deactivated: it sticks to the bottom right while not encroaching on the right sidebar. All this taking into account the collapse of the right sidebar (not obvious, I don’t know if I’m clear 🙂 )

    • When the custom footer navbar is activated: it moves just to the left of the floatright block or can be above the floatright block?

    The solution may be less difficult to code would be to make a vertical scrollbar inside the right sidebar like in topics. There might be less to manage

    Keep the good work my friend 😉

    @DownPW fixed in Dev. Have a look. Many improvements and I think you’ll like it. Try it on both desktop and mobile.

    Nope. The newest version of Harmony appears to have the same pagination as Flarum and Discourse, so it’s been moved into the content area 😁

    @DownPW likely you are missing z-index on that class. As you are using position: absolute the index is needed to bring that specific element forward. By default, it’ll sit behind the progress bar meaning it cannot be clicked, but can be seen.

    @DownPW no problems. Let me know if you have issues and I can take a look. Can’t release the code formally yet as it’s still beta (and does have very minor bugs).

    Not sure why, but for a while I’ve been looking at the size of the CSS file that runs the dev site, and I couldn’t understand why it was almost twice the size of what it should be in terms of overall lines.

    This eventually got the better of me and I landed up going through the file and removing what appears to be a large amount of duplicated CSS. I primarily work offline using VSCode (my go-to editor), but periodically “fix” things on the fly. The problem with this is that if you make changes online then copy these from the CSS editor in the ACP back to VSCode, they seem to be copied twice - in other words, appended to the existing file despite all text being selected, which should in fact overwrite, but it doesn’t 😱

    Just something for everyone else to watch out for. I spent a fair amount of time this afternoon purging duplicate classes, and the end result is a much leaner file.

    Thanks to @cagatay for finding a bug with the CSS in relation to tags in DEV. This has been fixed. I also found another bug whilst addressing this one in the sense that the progress bar on mobile (and desktop, but limited intrusion) shows over the tag div when the composer is active.

    Changed the scrollbar function so that it does not fire if the composer is visible. Here’s the block of code that detects if it’s active or not

                if ($(window).scrollTop() > 0 && (!$('[component="composer"]').is(":visible"))) {
                    bar.addClass('show');
                } else {
                    bar.removeClass('show');
                }
    

    Above, we now have 2 conditions. The first is to fire only if the top marker is higher than 0 - for example, hide if we are at the top of the screen. The second condition is that we also only fire if the composer isn’t active - detected by is(":visible")

    Keep 'em coming in terms of identified bugs - reporting them is much appreciated.

    Hello @phenomlab

    I keep working on my CSS
    On v2, I displayed user groups in topics like this :

    923b452b-29cc-4ca1-82ac-a4348d3f5312-image.png

    but I can’t seem to get any result. I can’t target the right element

    Ideas ?

    Many thanks

    @cagatay The most reliable way to upgrade Node.js on Ubuntu depends on how you originally installed it. Method 1: Using NVM (Recommended) If you already use Node Version Manager (NVM), upgrading is simple. NVM allows you to keep both versions and switch between them if needed. Install Node 22: nvm install 22 Switch to Node 22: nvm use 22 Set it as your default: nvm alias default 22 Verify the change: node -v Method 2: Using NodeSource (PPA) If you installed Node.js via apt using the NodeSource repository, you need to update the repository script to point to the new version. Remove the old NodeSource list (optional but cleaner): sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list Download and run the NodeSource setup script for Node 22: curl -fsSL [https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x](https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x) | sudo -E bash - Install/Upgrade Node.js: sudo apt-get install -y nodejs Verify the installation: node -v Method 3: Using the ‘n’ Package If you have npm installed, you can use the n interactive manager. Clear the npm cache: sudo npm cache clean -f Install the ‘n’ helper: sudo npm install -g n Install Node 22: sudo n 22 Update your shell: hash -r Troubleshooting Permission Denied: If you see permission errors using Method 2 or 3, ensure you are using sudo. Path Issues: If node -v still shows version 20 after upgrading via NVM, restart your terminal or run source ~/.bashrc. Conflicts: Avoid mixing these methods. If you switch from apt to nvm, it is best to sudo apt remove nodejs first to avoid path conflicts.

    A more efficient way of including this would be to not over complicate it and leverage a standard iframe (providing the CSP headers of the remote site permit this) like below <iframe src="https://www.classmarker.com/online-test/start/?quiz=gag66aea7922f0a5" width="700" height="800"></iframe> This works first time every time on your site as intended.

    @cagatay JS will work fine - no changes there, and there are no plans to drop support for jQuery. More of an issue is the CSS - for which there are quite a few breaking changes. Keep an eye on sudonix.dev (my development site) where you can see progress in relation to how I am tackling the compatibility issues.

    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.

    @pobojmoks that’s easily done by modifying the code provided here so that it targets background rather than border In essence, the below should work $(document).ready(function() { $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) { $('.recent-card-container').each(function(i) { var dataId = $(this).attr("data-cid"); var color = $('[role="presentation"]', this).css("background-color"); console.log("data-cid " + dataId + " is " + color); $('[data-cid="' + dataId + '"] .recent-card').attr("style", "background-color: " + color); }); }); });

    @cagatay you’ll need to define this in the body tag (or another element if you want greater or more granular targets) - for example body { font-family: "Poppins"; font-size: 16px; } Essentially, you use the font-size CSS directive.
