Yes, this is true, I deleted that post earlier. We might consider creating a “buyer” subcategory in the future, as of now, the Community market is only open for the “seller” posts.
Right now we don’t have a lot of movement in the second hand market, people don’t want to sell their laptops or the parts yet. We might have more movement when people start upgrading their laptops in the future and then we can consider creating subcategories (since it would be more balanced)
We have introduced the Linux Subcategory Distro tags last week and all new threads are created with the correct Distro tags, however we have a backlog of old threads created with “linux” tag or no tags at all. Moderation team is working tirelessly to add the Distro tags manually, when we are done, it will be possible filter all Linux threads based on the Distros.
I suggest that Framework set up Discorse’s topic template feature on this community forum to guide users and prevent users from creating new threads with duplicated topics. Below are my past comments about this topic.
Quick update: this feature was already on for the Community Support category and I’ve adjusted the template a bit, also included the template for the Community Market category. next step would be adding templates for the Linux subcategories, thank you for this suggestion!
Thanks for sharing the update quickly! I didn’t know the feature was already used on the community forum. I am sure that your updates will positively affect this forum!
We have updated the tags and tag requirement for the Community Support - Framework Community category. Now, community members will need to choose one tag for their device and one tag defining their issue. This will help all of us filter common issues in the future. Please let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions about this change.
Also, I noticed that the icons for thread participants was reduced to just the last poster, but now has been restored to how it was previously, showing a few frequent thread participants. I have to say, thanks for rolling that back! I was really missing that. By a surprisingly large amount. It’s great to who’s in a thread, as it gives a sense of what might be going on there. For example, you know some members are more into development or technical aspects, so if you see a couple of them there, you know there is probably a conversation like that over there. Things really felt lacking without that info.
Is it possible to enable more tags, optional tags, for community support category? Such as ubuntu.
An error occurred: This topic has tags not allowed by this category: ‘ubuntu’
I’m thinking maybe a there is a reason it wasn’t already enabled, such as is if optional tags are not compatible with the required tags setting. Which would be quite unfortunate, hopefully something the Discourse forum software can fix at some point.
I see. Well, sure glad Discourse stopped being Discourse, at least for the moment!
interesting, not sure if it was a temporary thing yesterday, please let me know if you keep seeing the same error message and I’ll check with our engineers.
I tried to edit my last post above and took a screenshot a gif which I can’t upload here. Sorry, there was an error uploading error403b.gif. Please try again
If I close the edit it looks like I can see the edit
If I refresh the edit isn’t there.
Here are the images loaded on my site as I can’t embed them here
Just wondering, did you (or someone else) need to do something to fix it? Or perhaps it was just one of those wandering discourse gremlins.
I was experiencing it too yesterday when trying to edit one post in particular. But I haven’t seen error happen today. And editing that particular post is working fine today.
