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
