Hiho,

first of all I want to say that the new forum design looks really good.

However, there are currently two issues:

1. In the "Unread" section, the "Mark all as Read" feature seems to be missing - or am I just overlooking it somewhere?

2. Some threads don’t automatically get marked as read when you open them. So the post still shows up in "Unread," even though you’ve already viewed it.

   Example Thread: https://forums.minecraftforge.net/topic/159415-cannot-find-client-log-entries/

Then I have a smaller suggestion, referring to the Text Editor:

It is possible to move out the "Inline Code"-Feature from the "More Formatting Options" and add it directly to the Text Editor Tool Bar?

Same for "Quote"-Feature inside the Create Section

These two features are used quite often (at least by me) - as far as I remember, they were also available in the old forum design.

Thanks for your feedback and suggestions. The new forums run Invision Community 5 - some things are more customisable, other things a lot less. I'm happy to adjust the settings as desired but not sure where they'd be or if they're still available in the new version, so if you could let me know I'll give it a go.

I also noticed that there is no way to upload images directly into a post

There is only "Other Media - Insert existing attachment"

I understand what you're asking for, but I don't know how to do that. The settings have moved around a bit in the admin panel and I can no longer see a way of customising the editor. If you know how to customise the editor in Invision Community 5, let me know and I'll try applying it.

I don't know that either - newer worked with Invision Community 😕

The Forum/Guides show a customized toolbar:

But I have no idea if this applies to v5

Regarding the Forum, "Mark all as read" seems to be hidden as default but is available if I click on my profile:

https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/481218-fix-for-unreadmark-read/

I saw that it works here and also fixes the one unread thread mentioned in my first post - so I had just overlooked it

The toolbar changes are just QoL - if there is no way to change it at the moment, that's fine

Unfortunately, it seems that Invision has decided that everything is locked down and no longer customizable.
Their attitude to anyone who wants to edit anything is 'Just accept it we know best and screw you for even insinuating that you want to customize your own site'

So there isn't much we can do about the layout of actual features.

Best bet for the editor is that psudo markdown works, so typing ` around words make code blocks.
Only options is to start writing bespoke modifications to the forum's php code itself, which I really don't want to do.

I would of stayed on v4 but the version of PHP that it supports is going EOL and Invision has stated they have no intentions of upgrading it.

They also removed the central community for finding plugins/community addons.

Overall it is my feeling that they are intentionally trying to kill off self-hosting communities by removing features and locking things down, in an effort to force everyone into using their paid hosting services.

My HOPE is that someone in the overall forum community will write an exporter for Invision to something like SMF. Which is what we were originally on before old team members decided enterprise software is better.
