@artunltd Hi, I have updated the translation. Thank you

Hey everyone,

Indeed there has been a bug in CDN configuration for images uploaded to Pinboards. It has been fixed since and now everything should be back to normal.

Sorry for problems and inconveniences caused. Note that none of the uploaded images were lost as a result of this bug.

@swar666 Yes, the problem should be fixed now. Sorry again. We'll discuss internally is there is anything we can do to make such feedback reach us faster.

Hey everyone!

So sorry it took so long but now this report has finally reached appropriate people that are looking at what might be the cause.

We will use this thread for further communication: if we need any more info from you and to inform you about the progress with resolving the issue.

Thanks for letting us know about this problem and sorry for any inconvenience caused.

UPDATE: We have confirmed a misconfiguration on our servers that causes the observed behaviour for certain users. Fixing in progress.

@andreszs Hi! The local sub-forums are providing a place where you can write a post in a specific language, whereas the general rule is that Opera Forums is English only.

That in no way hinders your ability to use automatic translation tools (also AI-powered Aria, built-in into Opera browser) to read the contents in foreign languages. What's more - if you don't know English you can use these tools to help you write a post, too. And that's a proper way to use AI in this context, I think.

On the other hand, allowing everyone to post everywhere in a language of their liking would unfortunately, in my opinion, among a few other problems, do just the opposite of what you are after - it would create rather than overcome language barriers, because it would force the people in the discussion to rely on the translation tools all the time. Their quality vary and it's quite possible that some people would be able to understand what the person writing in other language meant, but others (that happen to have used a translator that was not up to the challenge) would not. It would be very hard to have a real discussion in such scenario and misunderstandings would, inevitably, follow.

Having all the forums content in English makes it relatively accessible to people that don't understand it. Having it in a plethora of languages, some of which are less popular (therefore translations from it would lack quality), would make it less, not more, accessible for everyone.

Maybe in the future we'll get there, though

Hi @ArnoldusOpus!

I have created a Dutch local forum for you
https://forums.opera.com/category/65/nederlands

Hi @damnyou,

If you're receiving some unwanted email notifications you can go to your Settings (click on your avatar and choose "Settings") and disable them. In your case (and I think that's the default setting) you will get emails only about watched topics :

Notice that by default you will be "watching" (and, thus, being notified of any new post) in certain topics. That also can be changed or you can go to a particular topic and un-watch it (look for the bell icon in the topic header).

Other than that you can simply not open the forums and not participate in any discussions and the forums should leave you in peace
Please let me know if you have any more questions or issues.

BR,
Artur

@settling These deleted pinned posts that disappeared recently were leftovers of pre-Opera One-release Forums configuration tests. I was not aware that regular users could actually see them on the topic list, so I have purged them completely. They didn't have any meaningful content anyway. As for the Roadmap topic it was deleted by product team.

Hope that answers your questions.

Hey,
I am not managing content on these forums but I've passed your questions to someone who does

Hey, thanks for the suggestion, but we don't have plans to implement that in a foreseeable future due to challenges you have outlined yourself in your post.

It would require a significant effort to address them, plus there are a lot of third-party video hosting services that you could use if you wanted to share a screen capture on this forums.
I know this is not ideal, but it's a viable workaround for this problem, I think.

Best regards!

Hey, forwarded this suggestion internally
Thanks for the suggestion!

@jabbarkhan23 Error 500 indicates some intermittent problems with Forums servers. It can happen occasionally as much as we'd like to eliminate these sometimes servers can be overloaded or there can be a bug in Forums code that causes it to crash and restart - if you try to post when this happens the attempt will fail, but you should be able to retry it in a short while when the server stabilizes.

Can you please try again?

Hi. I'll take a look at this on Monday. Will DM you if I need more info.
Have a good weekend!

@lavanyadeepak-0 Oh, didn't think about it but their community seems like a reasonable place to start such discussion too Let's wait to see if that gets some traction there.

It's definitely an option. Nodebb is open source and they have a public bug tracker here: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues
Given the volume of the backlog I wouldn't get my hopes up that this will be treated as a priority, but there's no harm in trying

But first it would be good to confirm on https://community.nodebb.org/ that the newest version (I assume they run their own forums on the latest release) is also affected by this behavior - since we're a few minor versions behind here.

Let me know if you have a GitHub account and are willing to push this forward yourself or should I.

@lavanyadeepak-0 said in Potential ToS Abuse (aka) Spam Detected in Forums:

I am confused why it shows my name as the first one to join the room.

Just tried this with a couple of my accounts. I think that's just a result of some internal logic in NodeBB (our forum's engine) - the receiving user is always shown first when you initiate a new chat conversation with someone. It is a bit counterintuitive, I can definitely agree with that.

Cheers!

@0p3ra-us3r Thank you for letting us know about the problem!

@0p3ra-us3r

It should be fixed now. Please re-login for the last time and the email should finally update

@0p3ra-us3r Thank you! I was able to confirm that indeed the mechanism that updates the e-mail address on Forum's side is broken for everyone. Working on fixing it right now.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused by this
