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.

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-pageNot 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.
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/13478/forum-email-notifications-link-doesn-t-point-to-replyIt 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.

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

Thanks for the heads up.

I guess it can be handle, probably in the same way it is currently.
Sorry..., but
There is no FAQ on Linux forums, nor on Mac's.
There is no reference to Windows FAQ into *Nix / Mac forums for shared fixes.
There is no reference into Windows FAQ for OS shared fixes and the title is quite clearly:Frequently Asked Questions (Opera for Windows)
Even, *Nix and Mac Announcements has formating problems.
There is a lack on Help organization and for the most repeated questions.
User signature.
There is an option for it in user's profile.
After looking at Profile's options, can not find any option to add a signature.

I don't use Linux nor Mac so it would be kinda complicated for me to create a FAQ for those systems.

I'll probably try to create one general FAQ for Opera for desktops to cover things that aren't OS specific.

I was talking about the new forum.

Just a head's up: the migration will most likely start today in the late evening (UTC) and should finish by the end of next day.
During the migration this forums will be closed as read-only. When the migration is complete opening forums.opera.com will take you to the new place

@burnout426 said in New Opera Forums launching soon!:
"Watch topics you reply to" should be checked by default.
Not sure about that. I think the old forums had it disabled by default.

@amatczak Yes, it was disabled in the last iteration of the forums, which was really weird and unexpected. In all the earlier iterations though, subscribe-on-reply was always the default like most forums.

If the forum gives an option to insert custom meta/link tags, it'd be great to specify an opera forums logo/thumbnail for use with speed dial in browsers.

@burnout426 maybe you're right. I'll check if I can turn it on with one click out would we have to manually turn it on for all user
[EDIT] Turned on. I think now all users that have not disabled that setting themselves should have it on.

We'll look into that
