Re: "New forum"

In: s/Geminispace

Hi,

I am using it on every page, I never asked Lagrange to use the other cert - that one is for a single site. I’ll do some more recordings if you need.

@requiem

You aren't: the video you recorded shows this ("used on..." means the cert is NOT being used on the current page). If you created the cert to be used on the entire domain, then it might be a bug with Lagrange. Otherwise, you have to explicitly enable the certificate on every page you visit, even if it's a page on the same domain.

I’ll have a look through it but I find is strange as I never had issues like this before.

@eriounious Tried to register. Setup cert, got the "send a Titan message with your username in it" message. Did so. Then it said I needed a cert. Says I'm not registered.

I'm leaning toward @stack's POV. Your solution is causing a problem. Strongly advise you to streamline the onboarding.

@eriounious Figured it out.

If you insist upon this mode of registration, present the steps more clearly. I had, for example, confused the "token" for the body of the message. And then I failed to select an appropriate certificate. These are not issues I have ever come across when using Titan on BBS (here).

@eriounious Since you use Titan to add replies, and not a "reply" link, you should add a note about this near the bottom of the page

To reply, press ctrl-U to invoke Titan

The layouts are a bit cumbersome. I would look at BBS and Station for guidance on how to format posts. The line needs to go.

Thoughts

Just as Reddit ate up all forums, BBS eats up forums in Geminispace. I'm not sure if a vBBS clone will have legs.

I suggest positioning your project between BBS and Station. I would like to see a Geminispace-native MidnightPub style forum. Basicaly, Titan-powered gemlog capsules that people can reply to. That would provide a unique service, and I would definitely join.

Original Post

🌒 s/Geminispace

New forum — Hello, I have launched another forum for Gemini/Titan at [gemini link] I would welcome feedback and suggestions from people here, especially in regard to display and formatting. My inspiration is a vbulletin-esque Web forum, so hopefully it is interesting in its difference from this board. It is a work in progress, so there are several features I've not yet added, like PMs and permissions for moderators (separate from normal users or administrators). I hope its basic...
