Try this:
Code:
#kunena table.table td.nowrap { white-space: unset; }

It's not fixed, sorry. You have still misspelt the term "non-Bootstrap" (in English, this is a hyphenated/compound word). The way you "fixed" it is to use the "-" character as a dash (the dash character has a completely different meaning in English); I know that English is not your native language. Where, in the past, you have used the word "none" instead of "non" this is confusing to native English speakers (for example, in the phrase, "please remove all none Joomla plugins" where you intended to say "please remove all non-Joomla plugins"). I was just trying to help; I was not trying to give you an English lesson. :)

Secondly, the link to the "view instructions" for Transifex still goes to a non-existent page.

Yes, we " discussed " that. :laugh:

I think you didn't see the first post in this topic, however.

I was merely providing feedback. If you don't want the community's feedback then we won't offer it.

In that case, please mark this topic differently because, in my opinion, it is not "solved" to my satisfaction. What were the reasons for taking this decision? Was there a problem with how the forum operated previously? I think there should be further discussion involving the rest of the community, wouldn't you agree?

I am sorry that you have remove the feature from K 5.0—a feature that has existed in Kunena for the last 6 years, a feature that is used in other forums (including the Joomla forum (based on phpBB), and other native Joomla forum products (e.g. Chronoforums, EasyDiscuss, etc.) where the users of the forum can set (and change) the topic icon (as well as the forum moderators).

This is an important feature of internet discussion forums.

Not all topics are questions and the users who create topics ought to be allowed some degree of flexibility in deciding how their topics should be "categorised". By allowing people to choose how their topics should appear, this shows respect for people as responsible, mature, reasonable people. By removing this feature, this means that [basically] the forum is reduced to a "question and answer" interchange between one person and the moderator(s) instead of a free-flowing interchange of information with the rest of the community.

For others reading this topic, please note that I did not mark this topic as solved. The decision about whether this issue has been solved was taken by the moderators without consultation with the person who started the topic. This discussion is not about the "solved label" as you've characterised it; you have misunderstood the subject matter. This topic is about whether people can choose any of topic icons that were available in previous versions of Kunena.

If this is now how Kunena now operates then I cannot recommend it to the forum communities with which I am involved.

Kunena has enjoyed a remarkable success as being " the only forum/discussion solution for Joomla that is community driven " and this latest decision seems to conflict with that objective.

I would request (because I am only a humble, ordinary user here) that this topic should not be marked as solved until other members of the community are able to have their say. If it were within my power, I would humbly request that the community should be permitted some further say and input on this subject—perhaps you could run an opinion poll to gauge support for and against this view. In any event, by removing the ability for ordinary participants in a K 5.0 forum to set the topic icon, limits one's ability to choose, to express one's opinion on a subject (even if that opinion is wrong or misplaced). In my humble opinion, this is an important part of managing a community, to show respect for the views of the members of the community. Instead, removing this feature shows that the different opinions, views and aspirations of the members of the community are not being given their due respect; it demonstrates, rather, that the forum is simply a one-sided management by a team of people who have their own views and those views cannot be challenged.

As the subject of this topic states, this is a request that members of the forum should be able to set the topic icon when creating a new topic and for the original poster to be able to change the topic icon, including the ability to mark the topic as solved.
07 Aug 2016 09:10
Question: How do I (the topic author) change the topic icon? I do not see the list of topic icons available when I create a new topic or try to edit the first post in a topic.

Has something changed?

See the download page and refer to the screenshot where mistakes have been found:



Also, misspelling of the word "Documentation" in the footer menu.

I don't use any ad blocker software and so I don't know how this relates to my remarks/suggestion.

This is what people see when they go to the Recent Topics page:



(Image reduced 50% from original).

Ask yourself the question: If you were a visitor to this website looking to see what were the latest issues being discussed on the forum, why should you have to scroll down a full page in order to see those things?
02 Aug 2016 23:38
Here are a few initial impressions and suggestions:

1) reduce the line-height overall
2) reduce the amount of wasted space in the site template ( e.g. move the top banner ad above the forum menu and reduce the padding and margins surrounding it)
3) reduce the line-height in the forum announcement: for example, when people go to the Recent Topics view, let them see the recent topics without all that extraneous interference; reduce the amount of scrolling down in order to see the actual topics themselves;
4) fix up the top menu so that the line breaks don't occur as they do when viewing the site on an iPad;
5) corrent the errors in the mobile-view menu (white font on a white background is not a good look);
6) restore the footer menu items for the terms of use and team pages (by the way, you lost the paragraph numbering on the terms of use page but I can help you get it back again, if you're interested).

... and by the way, I cannot logout now (something was changed in the last hour or two). The option to logout is hidden below the bottom of the page and I can't see it or click anything.

jhebbel wrote: Im sure this will become a moot point once 3rd party themes start becoming available.

Perhaps ... :whistle:

The problem with this assumption, however, is that, with nearly all new releases of Kunena over the past three years:

a) new features have been added that have broken all third-party [i.e. Blue Eagle-based] themes;
b) the functionality of Kunena is not controlled solely by the template—it relies on other functionality built into the component—and when changes are made to the core software, these changes also affect third-party templates; third-party developers have to continually repair their products to make them compatible with the core. If minor releases of Kunena did not modify the core then third-party developers would not have those kinds of problems; this is one of the reasons why third-party developers have had difficulties in releasing their own versions based on Crypsis;
c) the two or three alternative third-party [i.e. Crypsis-based] themes that currently exist today were developed for K 4.0;
d) until K 5.0 stabilises, third-party developers will have to wait; this also means that alternatives to Crypsis will be a while off; and
e) there is no documentation for third-party developers to help them implement HMVC adding a further layer of disincentive to begin the task of constructing alternatives to Crypsis.

These are the challenges facing third-party developers. These are the impediments to overcoming the criticism that "Crypsis is too hard to read and navigate" and the premise that the present criticism will (one day) be moot after third-party developers lift their game. The biggest challenge facing third-party developers is, of course, whether they have reasonable prospects of recoving the return on their investment in developing such alternatives. You could be right but we'll just have to wait and see how things transpire, won't we? How long must people—including third-party developers—wait (and just how patient they will be) is a matter of conjecture, of course.

I understand and completely agree with everything @jhebbel wrote. This forum template design is extremely difficult for people to navigate (as time will prove). There's one important point, however, that @jhebbel (and many others who are used to Blue Eagle) may have overlooked: Crypsis has been around for over three years. The reason that there has been little commentary in this forum about the visual/accessibility issues that make it difficult for people to find their ways around the forum is because there up until this time nine out of ten people have been using Blue Eagle or derivatives of it.

@810 asks a very good, important question: "What needs to be improved then?" Well, I think there is plenty of information available written on this forum and elsewhere on that subject but, while most of the developers' attention has been invested in new "features" and gimmickry, I fear that compromises were made in achieving those objectives at the sake of getting the UI/UX right.

When people look at a forum (and after all, it's the people who visit this site whose interests are all about forums), there's a trade-off between the space required to deliver the goods and the space "wasted" in making things look "pretty". I'm not using this post as an opportunity to cast my own judgement on the layout of the forum (or of the site overall) but, honestly, the design implemented at this time and the comments already made in this topic indicate that there's a lot of work required to improve the design.

So when we get right down to the question "What needs to be improved", the developers need to do a bit of soul-searching. The community, as a whole, should use this opportunity to suggest those improvements. The answers need to address

a) minimising the scrolling effort;
b) locating the login "button";
c) locating the forum tools;
d) searching the forum;
e) reading the text (especially if you're visually impaired);
f) locating quickly and effortlessly the areas on the forum that people need to find; and
g) when people do find the function they require, getting the function to work in the same manner as they're used to.

Those are not the only areas that require and demand improvement but, when people conclude within a few seconds (and first impressions are the most important impressions) that "Kunena - To Speak! Next Generation Forum Component for Joomla" is not what they were hoping for, the developers need to consider these points very carefully. That's all I want to say about this at this time.

Replied by sozzled on topic Compatible with J3.6?

dianaNashif wrote: Is K 4.0.11 compatible with J3.6? Any recommendations for an error free upgrade?

Yes, Diana. Like you I've been getting the daily hasslemails about updating to J! 3.6. There's been a lot of folklore about problems people have been having with the update to J! 3.6 and most of that can be dismissed as just "folklore" (or evidence of some really bad site administration and a case of leaving everything to the last moment).

Points to make:

1) K 4.0.11 is compatible with J! 3.6 (but there are known limitations, of course, between Crypsis and Blue Eagle).

2) The Kunena developers have made it clear and unambiguous that they are not releasing any future updates for K 4.0. You can infer from that whatever you want.

3) Upgrading J! 3.6 is performed using the Joomla Update component. Further information is available at the Joomla website .

Personal experience is that the upgrade to J! 3.6 is nothing to worry about but, as I implied earlier, everyone's experience could differ. Cheers.
