nimforum mirror - Brand new forum design is live

As you may or may not have noticed the new forum is now live! :)

Most changes are appearance-only. Apart from that:

Everything is now asynchronous (thanks to the new asyncdispatcher available in the latest Nim development version).

We are using bcrypt instead of md5 to hash passwords for better security.

And the forum is now searchable (Thank you @LeuGim!)

I hope you like it! Let me know if there are any issues.

The links to the documentation don't work for me. Lots of problems. Click either stable or dev docs and start browsing. Not just the missing tutorials, but the links are off.

I do like the new look though. And, even though you can use google, a searchable forum is nice.

Excellent work! Many thanks to everybody involved!

@brianrogoff fixed.

Could there be a switch for people who prefer black text on white background? Especially for the code examples.

@PV you can create a PR for that if you wish.

dom69: what is PR?

dom96 (orginal) [2014-12-08T00:21:24+01:00] view original

@PV it's essentially a way to contribute a patch to a github repository: https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/

What happened to the development docs? I only see links to the stable documentation.

dom96 (orginal) [2014-12-08T02:06:54+01:00] view original

I'm afraid development documentation is gone. As is nimbuild (the tool that built them). The reason for that is that I do not have enough time to maintain it.

Might want to set a cache header for the image at the top it reloads on every click - also the font size in the box im typing in right now is really tiny :)

Congratulations on new forum, looks great, and search finally :)

We also finally managed to update the homepage! This means the major blocking issue for the release of 0.10.2 is gone!

Currently at both the nim-lang.org and nimrod-lang.org sites, the header "Nim" image links to http://reign-studios.net/philipwitte/nim/home.htm rather than the main page. Additionally (although this is just personal preference), could the header image on the forum pages link to the Nim homepage, rather than to the forum index page?

It would be better to add charset to content-type header ("Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8"). In some browsers arrows of the page listing are displayed incorrectly because of wrong character set applied, until it's chosen manually.

Araq (orginal) [2014-12-12T23:18:10+01:00] view original

Well the HTML contains <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> and XML doesn't really support anything other than Unicode encodings anyway. Why should we care for dumb browsers that ignore the basics?

LeuGim (orginal) [2014-12-13T12:23:11+01:00] view original

Just because it's matter of seconds (quicker than to write a post or make a PR), and we cannot change dumb browsers.
