[petya]

A couple of suggestions for changes/translator comments for some of the strings:

• Other: ​https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/meta/forums/bg/default?filters[original_id]=3151385 - add translator comment WordPress Version to help translators pick the right gender for the word if applicable
• This topic is - ​https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/meta/forums/bg/default?filters[original_id]=3151369 - remove the verb from the string or change to Topic status. That would prevent issues with languages where the verb has a different place within the sentence structure - for example at the end of the sentence.

Term subscription error messages:

Suggestion: Add translator comment: Term: topic tag

That would prevent issues with languages where the verb has a different place within the sentence structure - for example at the end of the sentence.

On second thought, Topic status is not really accurate for "not a support question". May be This topic is: would work? You can move the verb from this string to the dropdown options if needed. In Russian, we don't have a verb in this dropdown at all :)

[SergeyBiryukov]

You are receiving this email because you subscribed to a topic tag.

Is there a way to add the tag name to this string to make it clearer?

I found some error in the styling of ordered lists (<ol>…</ol>):

File ​https://bbpress.org/wp-content/themes/bb-base/style.css line 1105 contains following CSS rule

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body div.bbp-topic-content li,
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body div.bbp-reply-content li {
	list-style: square;
	margin-left: 10px;
}

which causes all list items to be prepended with a square instead of decimals.
(Example: Post ​https://de.wordpress.org/support/topic/mehrere-websites-mit-mamp/#post-29566)

[SergeyBiryukov]

Some topic URLs with UTF-8 slugs on non-Latin forums (e.g. Russian or Japanese) are currently broken, see #1867.

[SergeyBiryukov]

meta-1544.list-style.patch​ should fix the list style issue from comment:23.

Could we change the site title on ​https://ru.wordpress.org/support/ back to "Форумы поддержки"?

"Русский Support Forums" is neither Russian nor English, and this incorrect title is already ​indexed by Google.

I think it should be "Support Forums" in the language of the site locale, e.g. "Форумы поддержки", no need to add the locale name as it's already included in the Rosetta sites banner, e.g "Русский" at ​https://ru.wordpress.org/support/

Replying to fierevere:

Currently only bbPress "keymasters" (admins) can view user IP addresses. There is a proposed plugin to add this functionality, it will be either added to bbPress core, or added as a plugin for wp.org. See ​#bb2908

Edit: Currently only "keymasters" (admins) can see IP addresses on the "front end", moderators can see IP addresses in the "back end", thanks and hat tip @ocean90 for reminding me of that

Right, locale name in the title would be redundant. On ​https://wordpress.org/support/, for example, the title is not "English Support Forums", just "Support"

[zodiac1978]

Is there a reason why the forums column on the homepage is just 60% width?

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-forum-info {
    width: 60%;
}

In: ​https://de.wordpress.org/support/wp-content/themes/pub/wporg-forums/style.css?ver=20160701

Because the other column is just 20% which sums up to 80% and not 100%

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-forum-topic-count, #bbpress-forums li.bbp-forum-reply-count {
    width: 20%;
}

Looks fine if I change the first class to 80% width.

bbpress is graying out closed posts, which is good.

If you make a post sticky or super-sticky you want to highlight those posts, but they are grayed out as well, which is bad.

#bbpress-forums ul.status-closed, #bbpress-forums ul.status-closed a {
    color: #ccc;
}

In ​https://de.wordpress.org/support/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css/bbpress.min.css?ver=2.6-alpha-5566
and
​https://bbpress.org/wp-content/themes/bb-base/style.css?ver=20150216d

Maybe overriding with something like:

#bbpress-forums ul.sticky a.bbp-topic-permalink, 
#bbpress-forums ul.super-sticky a.bbp-topic-permalink {
    color: #21759b;
}

and

#bbpress-forums ul.sticky li.bbp-topic-title a.bbp-topic-permalink::before, 
#bbpress-forums ul.super-sticky li.bbp-topic-title a.bbp-topic-permalink::before {
    color: #ffb900 !important;
}

Maybe there is a smarter way to do that ... :)

[La Geek]

I (very much) apologize, I guess, I wrote this ticket #1887 in the wrong place.

It is a bug or enhancement ticket for "Upgrade international forums from bbPress.old to bbPress 2.x"

Beside this bug in the ticket above, I found one more glitch:

The tags cloud ​https://de.wordpress.org/support/view/all-topics/. Please look at "Fehlermeldung". The tags overflow the wrapping div. And would collidate with, resp. overlap the right column - luckily there is no content atm.

A tag example:

<a style="font-size: 28.519230769231pt;" title="79 Themen" class="tag-link-167 tag-link-position-25" href="https://de.wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/fehlermeldung/">Fehlermeldung</a>

I'm browsing on a Samsung S3 smartphone with Google Chrome and Opera Mini browsers and the text size on the support forums (www.wordpress.org.pt/support) appears a bit too small.

Also, some elements are not correctly displayed. Some text elements appear on top of others as well as users avatar images.

This means on the other side, that users themselves can't mark their threads as resolved anymore. Since the time to edit own posts is limited.

My role isn't reflected in the Topic Author section. Example can be found here: ​https://nl.wordpress.org/support/topic/kom-je-spam-tegen-5/. It should say Key Master (or the Dutch translation of that), but it says Contributor (Bijdrager in Dutch).

Isn't "Sleutelbeheerder" the Dutch word for Keymaster? At least that's what I see underneath your Gravatar, when I open the link.

It is, yes. I must have triggered something by replying to a topic. Love it when issues solve themselves :P

Does anyone know if it is safe to edit the bbPress slug settings? Converting those English words into Dutch words.

I noticed the layout etc of the forum has been updated. It now looks nice and fresh.

I also bumped into a serious practical problem:

Over the years I have tried to answer questions in both
<ul><li>the international forum, -some time ago- and</li>
<li>the dutch forum '​https://nl.wordpress.org/support/' -still active, almost on a daily basis-</li>
</ul>
When I now log in to the DUTCH forum to check my Profile to see if any of the forum members have responded to my suggestions, all I see is a list of the <em>international</em> entries I made.

So far, I've been unable to find a listing my entries / activities on the DUTCH forum.
Please advise how to solve this.

Kind regards
