Elektronauts get a fresh update! . . [ Read OP for issue resolution ]

Hi Nauts!

On Wednesday the 29th of January we will do some maintenance work that might make the forum unresponsive at times.

Elektronauts has been dragging in terms of software updates. The underlying software will take a jump from version 2.7 to 3.4. There will be many changes and not all have been looked in to by us yet. Therefore, we might have to do some admin settings post this update. Here are some of the new features:

  • Improved mobile experience
  • Improved search engine
  • Chat
  • Threads
  • Navigation in customisable sidebar menu
  • Share your current status
  • Various AI stuff - obviously this is opt-in and we will not be enabled before much care
  • Better integration of images in posts
  • Different visual style for personal messages
  • Clearer indication of last read position in topics

Much more here: updates - Discourse

i can assure you we do !

This move is very, very welcomed indeed

I doubt the AI will be turned on initially, if ever, but for sure it wouldnā€™t happen lightly fwiw

i think any official news is met with over-excitement, itā€™s banter rather than trolling

Iā€™m sure it will tell you when to log out and go make music.

Thank you ā€¦ and good luck ā€¦ knocking on wood ā€¦ :smiley:

Yeah, think like Elektron is Elvis Presley and weā€™re all a bunch of Teenage girls waiting for a glimpse of him so we can collectively scream til we shit our knickers.

And maybe give a few of us a brand new Cadillac.

Really hoping it means the back button on mobile wonā€™t go back two pages instead of one

I scream and shit my knickers without any outside stimulus, I find it liberating.
