Forum data loss
-
Yep, had to upgrade to latest in order to convert the old backup (don't ask me why, just couldn't get our last version working with the older backup-data, spend about 6h trying different things before giving up).
Also seen a few bugs in the current 0.4.3 (from nodebb master). On mac the preview window wont show if I make window smaller than about half the screen.
I have reported a few of the bugs I've seen to the nodebb team and will keep an eye on this (and update forum again when things get fixed) They seem pretty fast.

I've already filed a bug report on these issues.

This early truncation of threads is making the forum extra work to read.
The workaroundL You see a likely unread thread using the upper-left icon and view it, scroll down to find nothing unfamiliar. So edit the URL to add one to the comment number. Zing - the rest of the messages show now. (Or at least more of them, I haven't tried immediately repeating the same technique).
There's a lot of good info and knowledgeable, helpful contributors here - the software bugs are the biggest detraction, I hope they fix them soon. The other challenge is organization - the threads tend to drift, and some great stuff is written where it may be hard to find again; we do that to ourselves.

I agree, that is why I suggested a split in another thread.
The problem sometimes is that one discussion leads to another and, unless the discussion is moving in a clear direction, it does not make sense to immediately move to a new thread. -
Yep, discussions tend to drift after a while.

https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/1821Just updated forum to the latest greatest (5 minutes ago).
I still have problems jumping to the last read post. Maybe time to clear browser cache (and local storage which the forum seems to utilize) to see if that corrects the problems for me. -

Upgrade/clear cache seems to have improved jumping for me.
