You are in charge here . . .
It just happens that I picked the short straw because I have more time to be online than the other mods . . .
]]>Do any other users have concerns about logging in through an insecure portal?
Users running browsers normally will be always redirected to the https, and modern browsers of all flavours will prevent insecure post requests or cookie responses from secure pages to insecure ones. I've not seen or been able to reproduce insecure login from a regular browser with standard configuration.
should our forum login page be over a secure connection?
Certainly it should, and it does. - That said however - there are some improvements that can be made that I've already been working on. i.e. 80 needs a hard 301 -> 443.

]]>Is it possible to delete a thread ?
I have opened a thread and described a proceeding which seem to not work anymore. see
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5975
It would be wise, to delete the thread otherwise I have to edit and delete its contents by individual message
]]>@Gregors, if you make a theme and email to me I can probably stuff it in as an option.
Thank you – but I think the zoom feature of FF is the right solution for me. I didn't try that at first because I thought that zooming would be applied to all pages I go to. But FF seems to remember which zoom factor to use for each forum I visit.
]]>Any chance of reducing the 60 second timeout for new posts? It might just be my sporadic hypomania but I butt up against this limitation more than I would like and I find the wait quite excruciating sometimes. I understand if it won't be possible though, it does help prevent spam.
Are you referring to being logged out in the time it takes you to type a post (or a reply), click Submit, only to get "you have no permission", because you've been logged out in the meantime? I have had this twice now. Fortunately I had the forum open in two tabs, and a login in the other tab made it possible to do a reload on the error page, and resending the request. Otherwise, a lot of typing would have been lost. You might be able to use this workaround.
I think it would be nice if I could _remain_ logged in until I choose not to be. Or alternatively, if submitting a post or reply, I would get an error page offering me to provide login credentials and try submitting the post or reply again, so the text is not lost.
]]>I created a topic and every time I go to it, the counter refills by 1
So you can get as many views as you want by going between the topic and another page, the counter does not show the actual number of people who have viewed the topic
No, this is not normal, clearly we have a mystery on our hands...
Almost forgot!
Adding this:
]]>. . . but since FluxBB is deliberately feature-limited and seemingly no longer maintained I guess those are unlikely.
^^^ This.
In addition . . . minimalism rules here. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to subscribing to threads. That is left to the user.
Are you subscribed to any threads on this forum?
Yes
I have 9 threads, which are abonements.
Maybe that's notification of a new post?
most likely that is.
