As I said, I did what you suggested - I unsubscribed everything. But this is not very user friendly and most people won't know what to do to stop those notifications.
Just my humble opinion.FWIW, I think it's weird too. But, I was already used to it from using https://forum.vivaldi.net/. When I first started using the forums there, I immediately had to ignore all the categories I wasn't interested in so "Unread" wasn't polluted.
But, I don't even use unread/inbox there or here. I rely on email notifications only, which avoids the mess.

@burnout426 Good catch about the inconsistency. But it should be "Opera forums" everywhere, not "Opera Forums". Just like our logo says. The old forums were massively inconsistent about this...

Still, maybe adding a separate "Legacy products" category with "Opera Presto" and "Opera Mail" subcategories would not be a bad idea. We'll discuss and think about it.
That'd be great!
This forum has tags too, so having Opera Mail and Opera Presto tags and encouraging use of them would help. Would also be cool if each tag view page had an rss feed. But, I don't know if the forums support that.

Point taken. Sounds good to me.

How can I edit my own postings?
Click the 3 dots at the bottom right of your post and choose "Edit". You have a limited time to do so. After that you're out of luck or you have to ask a mod to do it.
The three dots just say: Bookmark, Share this post: Facebook, Twitter, Google+. No edit option?! The old forum had a 30 minutes deadline to edit ones postings.
Maybe it has to do with your reputation or number of posts you've made. Don't know.

@amatczak It's up to you then if you want to make the From header in notification emails say "Opera forums" instead of "Opera 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.
We'll look into that
I guess there's a site that analyzes site what's needed for logs for different platforms. It can also generate all the markup needed for all platforms.

A few other resources on the subject:

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-reply
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.
I set up a local copy of nodebb. I see there's a post_notif email template. Once I get the hang of things in general, I'll see if I can figure out what all the supported template variables are and try to come up with something.

@burnout426 Let us know if you find anything! We're aware of this template and indeed it might be possible to tweak it so that it links straight to the post (would be my preferred behaviour too) but we're simply swamped with more important tasks around forums now. If you happen to figure out the changes needed this might speed things up indeed

emniss last edited byIs there a chance to make Opera configuration links like...
opera://settings/?search=WebRTC
...automatically clickable by the forum software?

@emniss Not easily - there's no confg option for that but everything should be possible with some source code modifications.
I am worried about security implications though. Can't such links be malicious in a way that a less tech-savvy user gets tricked into changing something with just one click on such link?

@amatczak the opera protocol used to be supported on the iterations before last I think. There weren't any problems.
I would think that there'd be a list in the code somewhere or in config for the supported protocol names like ftp, https, https, mms, rtps, mailto, magnet etc., but just guessing.
I would also imagine then that the markup generator (maybe in the markdown code/config even) would use that list and the linkifier for plain-text URLs would too. But, just assuming / hoping.

Can you even do that? I thought all internal links had to be typed or pasted into the address bar - that even if a link was clickable the browser would ignore it if it is in an external page.
Don't think I've checked with new Opera.

Opening a new topic shouldn't be enabled on the subcategories page of "Opera for computers":
https://forums.opera.com/category/5/opera-for-computers
That's looking like a mess.

In my opinion it would make much more sense to open a sixth subcategory in "Opera for computers" for non-platform specific issues than discussing them on the subcategories page itself.

Hi, Julian from NodeBB here. Glad you're on board
In a pinch you can edit the template in the ACP to fix the link. However it does sound like a bug so we'll address it as well.
