@DandL Well done! Now you can mark your topics if you don't need any more replies.
There is no obligation to do it; I just explained for your information.
@thomasp It was the theme. I changed it to Simple and the checkmark is now present. Thank you. 👍

@pathduck Thank you for the WordPress links above. There is a definite learning curve with it. I am going to read (as well as Bookmark) those pages. 🙂
Thank you for your kind words! 😊
@MKSinSA said in Timeline is wonky:
I don't know how many accounts this instance has (how many does it have?)...
Vivaldi Social should have over 26000 users. 🙂
@thomasp
Thank you for your prompt response last week.
However, unfortunately, there still seems to be a Vivaldi Social has some problems.

Oddly, and without any changes to my behavior or my logins, this issue is no longer affecting me. I don't really like the mystery, but I'm grateful that it's not a problem anymore.
This turned out to be a DNS issue. DHCP from my Internet gateway, was including information in the Linux resolv.conf file that really didn't have to be there. Made some edits to it and have it read-only now.
No, not at this stage.
What I've read about reasons for not supporting markdown or other text formatting options on Mastodon (unfortunately I don't have the sources anymore) is that text formatting is good for long (blog) posts not for short social media posts. Also, that having the feed page full of avatars, links, illustrations and then text snippets using various formats would make it harder to go through the content.
But there seems to be some demand for adding markdown support, so it might happen, at least to some extent.
Hi @abraunw!
Migrating the account is one option, but if you're happy on the current instance, you can add that instance as a Web Panel, like @becm suggested.
Open the Mastodon instance you have the account on in a tab.
Right-click on the page.
Select "Add Page To Web Panel".
You can check other ways to add Web Panels and additional information about them on Vivaldi Help: https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/panels/web-panels/.
@jane-n Oh, that really is the same Search! I saw it, but right underneath Search it says "Posts, Hashtags, News, For You", and doesn't mention People unless you actually search and find some. And when I tried it nothing visible happened - my keyboard covers all the results! You have to tap Done or drag the screen up from behind it. Guess the devs don't use the little iPhone SE...
Still wish it was in all the regular places. Especially on iPad, where there is plenty of blank space.

As confirmed by another member of the community, this seems like a weird issue affecting most mastodon instances. One rare instance where it works as intended is mstdn.party which is also on v4.0.2. Example profile from that instance: https://mstdn.party/@Mets.
Got it working if someone else likes line spaces between title and url!
javascript:window.open("https://social.vivaldi.net/share?text="+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+"&url="+encodeURIComponent("\n\n"+location.href));
