The Wine Berserkers on Discourse FAQ thread

  1. You will want to change your bookmarks, make a new one, as whatever your default was before might not be what it is now. I’m not sure what you mean by ‘iPhone function bar’ - do you have a screenshot?
  2. There are a number of threads on ‘my posts’ - we’re working on that, trying to see what is happening as many have all their posts linked but not all, and obviously THIS group REALLY wants to see their own content :slight_smile:

The bookmark access is the one that works best. The home page icon is one I just added today. It doesn’t give me the function bar in the attached pic. It has <, >, functions menu(square with up arrow), bookmark icon, tabs icon.

I just tested this and it does not seem to hide the muted user’s posts. Note that the explanation in Preferences - users only says “Suppress all notifications and PMs from these users” - it does not say it will hide their posts.

Click on the user, see this?

Choose Ignored

Nope. Just the first two options showing for me, no “Ignored.”

Dig deeper - click the username, then again, then where it says ‘normal’, click the dropdown

You don’t have that? Might be a ‘permissions’ thing

You are correct. That is the menu I pasted from. Beneath “Message” I click on “Normal” and the dropdown gives me just the two options - no “Ignored.”

Well, lookee there! (Old-time “cheers” emoji here)

it’s because your ‘rank’/trust level was too low - I have to figure out how to get all the more seasoned users to automatically go up in trust level

Can links “preview” the content like Twitter or YouTube?

Brig, try now and let me know - it’s a ‘trust factor’ thing that I’m trying to override

Nope, old posts that are links are just the raw text.

What’s weird is I literally selected the text from one of the Twitter posts and pasted that into a new reply and it displays correctly.

So it’s just links before the switch.

I’m probably just stupid, but I can’t find the right setting for my iPhone. I’d like to have what I see on my desktop screen, which is as it was before - the name of the thread with the author’s name beneath, then on the right the name of the last person to post.

On my phone, I can only get this:

or this:

Is there any way I can fix it? Thanks!

if you click on the three lines (menu) icon in upper right you should be able to choose “Desktop View”

Thanks Julian, I knew I was stupid, just not how stupid!

not stupid, just a matter of finding it!
FWIW there is also an iOS app called “Fig” that can act as a reader for multiple discourse based sites, and uses its own UI. I have not experimented extensively with it.

Can somebody please explain what the heck “discourse” is in this context?

framework/platform that implements the forum UI.

old forum was PHP as the base. the new forum is Discourse
