        The forum still uses Markdown, but has buttons for formatting so that you don't have to read the Markdown guide first. Anything that can't be done in markdown (for example, underlining) won't work in the new forum.

          This topic is to discuss about the upcoming new forum. Problems with the browser must be discussed in a proper forum and topic.

            Besides the previously mentioned formatting tools, there will be a real time preview so you can see how's your post looks.

                    We are basing on an entirely new, modern forums engine (NodeBB) which means: speed, cool new features and active development. We hope you'll like it!

                    Sounds awesome. Definitely like the sound of "active development".

                      Yes, it's confusing and chaotic by default and it uses ugly webfonts. Hope you got a real good template to resolve this 😉

                          That's good news!
                          Having to manually type code into your posts to get quite normal and common formatting options has always seemed to be a nonsense to me.
                          Very odd that Markdown can't do underlining, I would have thought that was a pretty basic formatting option.
                          🙂

                            Hmm, how? It doesn't look confusing to me. On the contrary.

                              Confusing parts to me are the multiple levels of subforums (as in Opera for Devices > Android > Opera Mini) and the matter of threading - though that latter applies to email as well. Personally I like replies in chronological order, while others prefer that replies to comments appear near the comment they are in reply to. But personal preference is just that... I haven't looked, but there is probably a setting for that.

                                Interesting, for me it makes the forum looks more organized.

                                For me it's enough to have a way to know to what the person is replying to once it's not always exactly obvious.

                                  The other thing: you can post in a forum even though it has subforums. I could post into Opera for Mobile directly, or into the Android subforum. Kind of like a directory on a disk - it can contain both files (threads) and folders (subforums).

                                    Actually you could post there only because you're a Moderator which has some implicit privileges 🙂

                                    Regular users will be able only to post in specific subforums (with the exception of "Opera for computers" where we will allow to post without going into specific Windows/Linux/Mac subforum).

                                    But the point I want to make is that the new Forums will allow us to continue to adapt to community needs - something were not able to do here - so if a particular solution does not work we might be able to change it.

                                        This is an important point.

                                          Checked out a demo of NodeBB and realized I've already been using it when on https://forum.vivaldi.net.

                                          It's pretty cool in general, but still haven't gotten used to a reply showing in two places (nested under the comment you're replying to and then as a regular comment in comment order).

                                          Also, we've had to turn off pagination in settings because of this bug:

                                          https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/18916/when-pagination-is-checked-in-settings-stuck-in-the-first-page-of-this-forum/5
                                          https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/15821/possible-bug-in-forum-software-scroll-to-top-of-next-page

                                          Not sure if it's something specific with NodeBB or just something the forum devs messed up though. It's kind of nice with pagination turned off anyway as posts lazy load.

                                          Also, links in notification emails just take you to the post and not the specific comment.

                                          It used to work though, so I'm thinking that might not be on NodeBB's end. Hopefully. It's something I'll be testing right away.

                                            A quick scan of a notification email I got from our beta version of Opera Forums indeed confirm that the link points just to the discussion (reads "Click here to read the full topic") not the comment. Shame.

                                            ...but. When I click the link the Forums offers me a "click here to jump to last read post" popup. So it's kinda okay.
