Help test the new forum!

[Sprite]

Okay, we have a new server with more up-to-date forum software running. We also gave the theme a lick of paint to be more in-line with the main Espressif website and we should also be able to protect it from crawlers that slow it down more easier.

Only thing we need is some testers to see if we broke anything. For now, we have a testserver runs off a copy of the database that will be deleted when we do the actual migration. So go wild: spam topics, message eachother, message me, do whatever; after the testing period is over, everything will disappear. If anything breaks, please post it here. Also if you are bothered by something or have ideas for improvement, please post it here.

Testserver URL: https://esp32-test.espressif.com/

We'll probably let it run for a week or two before we nix the database there and migrate the forum over for real.

Speed is fine, default font is pretty tiny though, much smaller than here.

That is odd, it's exactly the same font and size for me. Can you post a screenshot of what you see?

Oh, btw, it'd be nice if one could mention&notify a user in a post (e.g. when typing @ESP_Sprite or something). Can the (new) forum do something like that?

I would love to see a search for my hardware "ESP32-C5" complete the search. It seems to want to remove the C5 as it thinks it is too common.

I'll see, there's probably some sort of extension for that.

Ah, thanks, 'tweak the search function' was on my list somewhere, but I forgot to actually do it. Let me check...

Code blocks seem to ignore line breaks: https://esp32-test.espressif.com/viewto ... 39#p145739

Just a nitpick
The banner image is missing. Maybe a missing/wrong link?

Sure thing. Here side-by-side. Note that I did make sure that there's no different zoom involved.
