Problem with the openHAB forum?

Boby · October 26, 2020, 2:36pm

Hi,
I don’t see my login menu anymore - it’s “washed out” and in the background. I still can create new topics (like this one), but I am unable to e.g. do a search:

Anyone else experiencing such problems? Tried it in Chrome and Edge - and it was the same in both browsers.

Thanks,
Boby

Scroll down a bit and it should be back. As you can see in your Screenshot, there is a second logo behind …

Yeah, it looks broken to me too.

Boby · October 26, 2020, 2:41pm

Yeah, that solved it - the menu lays over the headline, that’s why it’s not working.
At the very top of the page:

After I scrolled down a bit:

DiscourseHub is broken, too.

Bruce_Osborne · October 26, 2020, 4:19pm

I noticed this too on Windows & iPhone.

I assume the Discourse forum software was updated?

sihui · October 26, 2020, 5:06pm

Looks like: search function does not work either. 4 hits for zwave …

Bruce_Osborne · October 26, 2020, 5:24pm

Looking further, the normal website top banner is obscuring the forum one until you scroll down

Looks like there’s some breaking changes in Discourse’s latest update. Not sure if there’s even a way to make it look like before when you’re at the top of the page either. I’ll have another look later…

Should be fixed now.

mstormi · October 27, 2020, 11:29am

Searching still doesn’t work, maybe the index needs to be regenerated ?

Bruce_Osborne · October 27, 2020, 11:39am

If works for me on the PC in Chrome & the iPhone. Try clearing your browser cache.

ysc · October 27, 2020, 1:22pm

Now it seems I can’t select some text in a previous post and get a Quote button like I used to. Are you getting the same?

Edit: disregard it works now.

mstormi · October 27, 2020, 1:50pm

yep

Bruce_Osborne · October 27, 2020, 2:38pm

@ysc

I notice when highlighting a post to quote there is no longer a Quote popup menu.

ysc · October 27, 2020, 2:57pm

Yep sometimes it works

sometimes it doesn’t

I’m not involved in Discourse but I’ll investigate later.

Bruce_Osborne · October 27, 2020, 3:03pm

Sorry for the false assumption. Right after I posted the issue, it worked for me.

roy_liao · October 28, 2020, 6:11am

yeah, search index seems to be screwy.

As an example, I just searched the velux binding thread for “KLF100”

I know the content is there because I remember seeing it mentioned before, and the google index shows it. However, the discourse search returns 0 results.

ysc · October 28, 2020, 4:21pm

That’s annoying for sure!
Maybe rebuilding the index would help:

I can’t do it myself but @digitaldan might

Also, good news for dark theme lovers, while looking for a way to do it from the admin area, I activated a new dark theme for this forum
You can switch to it from your profile settings - go to Preferences (tab on the top), then Interface (link on the left), choose the openHAB Dark Theme and save.

Very nice!
I didn’t see the option at first. Only after hitting CTRL+F5 to bypass the cache it showed.
