"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

The new forum looks good!
It's great to finally have some quick and easy formatting buttons when you compose a post.
The list of available emoticons is IMO unnecessarily huge though.

OS Win7 Pro 32-bit. Posting from beta v49.
New forums have a great new look great. Still working my way around as yet but can't fault anything thus far. Thanks to Opera for yet again making improvements.

Could you edit the From header in notification emails?
Currently it's:
From: notifications@forums.opera.comIf you make it:
From: Opera Forums <notifications@forums.opera.com>it'll then say "Opera Forums" in the message list in your client like the old forums.
Thanks

Notification emails have a giant pic at the top that takes up a lot of vertical space before you even get to the text. It's often necessary to scroll just to see the text (depending on resolution and client layout of course).
Vivaldi forums have this issue now too. But, it's only recent there (probably due to an upgrade of the plugin or something). Before, the message was much simpler with text at the top with a white background (it was still a text/plain + text/html multipart/alternative message).
Something that could be tweaked when possible.

@burnout426 Yes, we're aware of that - redesigned email templates were only introduced less than a week before the roll-out, with 1.6.0 upgrade of NodeBB, and we simply didn't have time to style the email template like we'd like. It's on our todo list already. Be sure that after we're done it will look much better (the giant pic on top is a bit of an eyesore indeed
) -

In Thunderbird, I'm subscribed to the "Opera for Windows", "Opera for Linux" and the "Opera for Mac" feeds. I have them in an RSS folder named "_Opera". Also in that _Opera folder, I have a saved searched named "M2 Forum".
The saved search is set to search in those 3 feeds. It has a search criteria rule set to "match any of the following". I then have these rules:
If subject contains mail If subject contains m2 If subject contains accounts.ini If subject contains message If subject contains label If body contains accounts.iniI then add/remove rules as needed if I get false positives or if I find something that it missed where the rule won't create false positives.
I used to have just one rule that was:
If subject contains Opera Mail -, but I was missing too many threads because few put "Opera Mail -" in the thread subject.
Anyway, just reporting that this setup still works (after I updated the feed URLs for the new forum) and still catches most Opera Mail threads

@burnout426 I'll add this to our backlog.
Let's test this.

ocirnes last edited by ocirnesThe favicon of this forum is very pixelated in contrast to the desktop team blog e.g.:

OK, I know what's going on. NodeBB (our new engine) has a feature that dynamically updates favicon to include number of your unread notifications (which is pretty cool
) - unfortunately this means that they take our favicon and recompress it as 16x16 pixels which degrades quality.I can create an issue in their bug tracker, but I am afraid it might be for performance reasons and they might not be willing to change current behaviour.
