Like I said, this could be achieved easily with something like the CSS
Overkill. Those who want such features should fix it themselves. Vivaldi developers should focus on things that matter.
-
@Isildur I actually proposed exactly this a while ago perhaps consider upvoting it so maybe developers find it worthy of implementation
-
I just went back to upvote that. When I hit "^", the votes went down from 7 to 6. I had forgotten that I had already upvoted it, fittingly illustrating the issue.:P (I clicked again to return it to 7, once more.)

It doesn't require appreciable focus diversion. It's a several-seconds-to-implement, two-line fix. The CSS is already provided. Almost everywhere else on the Web that you find upvoting/downvoting buttons (Reddit, Imgur, news sites like Ars Technica, etc.) there's coloration indicating if you've already clicked an arrow/chevron, because in UIs, buttons that act as toggles are pretty much universally expected to have a simple visual indication of the state. It's why NodeBB already provides classnames for the elements for CSS to style.
Not only is it not overkill, it's an easy no-brainer.

@duarte.framos,
It is really hard to detect is there my vote or not... And I've also click it (and click back then)! -
The replies of posts appear just clicking on "Replies: x" and not like another post alone too.

@Quinca71 Editing of posts is currently unlimited.
-
@luetage Unfortunately not. I believe that it has been extended a bit. Try again tomorrow, or try to edit one of your older posts.
I am able to edit this post, so something has definitely changed now. That's good news.
-
@Pesala You should have tried it before making assumptions.

Look at my post on this site. I exchanged a dot for an exclamation mark.edit: was a day ago, but I did it again just now to refresh it
-
@luetage I'm unable to edit any of my own posts older than 60 minutes...
EDIT: I've tried re-loggin to the forums & clearing all cookies from Vivaldi domains in between (it helped to resolve another issue a while back). Unfortunately, it's still the same. I believe this might be some kind of bug...
-
Damn :o
I wasn't aware of my supernatural powers. It can be extremely handy if you have a post to maintain, so let's keep quiet about this -
@luetage Maybe you would like to edit your post?
-
lol
We are sadly way past this point, I told a mod in the german forums already some time ago.
Also there's no point to it, they should just allow everyone to edit unlimited -- have a little trust in the community... -
@Quinca71 I was able to edit my earlier post, which is six days old. Perhaps longer edit permissions have been granted to those of us with more reputation points or more posts?
It definitely was not possible for me to edit old posts the last time I tried.
Edited after 10 hours

Request for "whisper"
I have done a previous search, about this theme which I am begging permission to add. Or I have not known searching correctly, or it does not exist, at least with the focus I intend expose.
I would like see added to the features one thing that was named "Whisper" in Opera Forums.
I see enough usefulness reasons for it be implemented here. One of these, not expose publicly (partial or totally) some contents that need be directed to one or few other readers. A situation alike would be if who is writing wants say some more sharpened or sensitive words to this or those ones, which other readers shouldn't take acquaintance or have not need to know.
Always there would have the alternative of sending an e-mail or chat messages for these to whom one wants a more particular divulging of the matter ( in these cases avoiding its publication). But, for many users, there is a "feeling of hardly at ease" or even discomfort to do so, I mean to use e-mail or chats. I may be wrong, but this is my impression.
You don't actually clearly explain what a "whisper" is. How is it different from nodeBB's (one person) chats (https://forum.vivaldi.net/chats) or Unity's (one or more person) conversations (https://vivaldi.net/unity/conversations)?
(Unfortunately, Unity functions aren't that obvious from the Forum, now.)

Ah, you mean text that would appear (only to the author and selected recipients) in middle of a forum thread itself. That last part is what wasn't clear to me from your original post.
I don't know if there's an existing plugin that would provide that for NodeBB, which is the software package that Vivaldi.net has been using for this forum for the past few months.
Google searching doesn't turn up much regarding NodeBB and "whispers". I see on a different site's forum they apparently accidentally made whispers into public posts when switching forum software to NodeBB. (Yikes, I imagine that could be awkward...) Still, it's possible a plugin exists for NodeBB that provides such a feature under a different name. I don't know.
If there's no (hopefully well-maintained) plugin to provide the feature, this site's team would have to code it themselves, for it to happen. Doing so would require a non-trivial amount of backend work, so I doubt they'd do it unless there was significant demand for it. (If they ever decide to move to yet another forum platform, at some point in the future, it would also be a feature that would take extra work to migrate.)
-
@Quinca71 That seems like an interesting feature to have, although, IMO for all the cases that you've mentioned, PM should be sufficient, don't you think?
-
@Quinca71 PM stands for "Private Message". These forums use chats, but it works similarly.
-
@Quinca71 OK, I think I know what you mean and that's a valid point (I guess). But your language is a bit difficult to understand sometimes. I think you should hold off a little bit your inner "poet" and use simpler phrases/sentences...
PS. By "inner poet" I don't mean to criticize you, I mean that you seem to have a little bit more "poetic" soul than others (judging from the "Slogans for Vivaldi browser" thread for example) and that's great. It's just that in some places (like this thread) it's just better to go for the simplicity.
Sorry for explaining the things that you might already know, but since English is not a mother tongue for neither me or you, I just thought I'd clarify that to avoid any unnecessary confusion. -
@Quinca71 said in Feature requests for Vivaldi's new forum:
But there is one thing I especially appreciate, above all: freedom of style for writing, and unless I am breaking a rule, or even a general unwritten (I also respect) consensus, do not you get me wrong, but I will continue as I am.
That is not against the rules, and I'm not going to force anything like that on you - it was merely a suggestion. The point is that in some cases (like reporting bugs, requesting features) it's generally better to use simple English, as there are many "non-natives" here and it will be much easier for them to understand what's being talked about.
@Quinca71 said in Feature requests for Vivaldi's new forum:
Frankly surprised by you also be a "non-native". Unbelievable. Do you swear?
That's true, I'm trying to improve every day.

I have not noticed the moderator badge that is now in front of your username. I beg, too, your pardon, and, please, receive my compliments, if the nomination is as recent as I think.

I thought I was replying to an user like me, just with divergent opinions. It is not the case anymore.Thank you for the compliments, it is quite recent indeed, but I'm still a user just like you - nothing has changed in this regard (apart from new duties).
