Oh, and by allowing direct hotlinking of images here, you are allowing us to run statistics tracking on the forum. I’m not doing that, but if you hadn’t thought of it, then it’s a good thing to know. It’s generally better to copy the images to your own server and serve from there.
You can also run into weird problems with people linking objectionable material in the forum. For example, I put an image in a post a few minutes ago, but I could easily set it to display as something normal for the USA, but switch the image out for the rest of the world and instead display an advertisement or some other objectionable image and you wouldn’t know about it unless someone mentioned it to you.
Great to see forums back on the Tavern!
Such a great news,Congrats to WPTraven Team!
Hey, a forum! Cool.
Can we add a link to the header for easy access? :)
Please feel free to suggest additional forums and features that you think would be helpful for the Tavern.
2 things immediately come to mind:
I think a toolbar of some sorts would be useful here, so one can easily insert links or
blockquoteelements like above without knowing HTML. Better yet, maybe this input field could use the block editor, like in the WordPress.org support forums!As the forums grow, it may also be useful to display a list of popular threads in the footer of wptavern.com.
There is no link in the site menu to the forums. I think that’ll be needed for those who don’t know what the URL is, or that these even exist.
Redirecting /forum/ and /discussion/ to /forums/ is probably a good idea too, for anyone who tries to navigate here directly.
Federate this forum! It would be awesome if it were possible to display the content in the forum on other public places, such as Lemmy. https://join-lemmy.org/
This would allow us to use this forum directly, but also make the discussions that happen on this forum display in other places organically.
It might be as simple as using the ActivityPub plugin, but might end up requiring some kind of customization between ActivityPub and BBPress.
Hi! As this is the first comment to this forum I wish you GOOD LUCK!
I think this will be a great place to discuss all the WordPress matters. Please consider to add a forum about SEO.As SEO changing often it would be nice to talk about recent and upcoming changes.
Awesome. :)
I also think you should ditch the “Your reply is awaiting moderation” message. If spam is a problem, then there are less invasive methods of handling that.
I wouldn’t have even thought it was necessary at this point. Forums tend to attract spam later, not when they’re brand new.
An unread posts widget would be useful. I’m not sure there’s a suitable one for bbPress or not; they tend to be resource intensive unless coded well.
I like that there’s only a small number of forums here. People tend to crazy and it becomes a mess with just a bunch of dead forums.
As social media empires rise and fall, proven technologies remain relevant. We are all attracted to the latest communication apps, like crows to shiny objects. But legacy technologies like email, forums, blogs, and podcasts continue to demonstrate the enduring benefit of open platforms and protocols. Congratulations to WP Tavern for embracing another open platform to keep the conversation flowing.
I thought I would never see forums back on the Tavern, yet here I am. Someone pinch me.
