Some stuff that can be improved on this Forum :)

@nero355 It's in the middle of the screen below the three listed phones and before the other threads.

I see one here : https://forums.ubports.com/category/92/xiaomi-mi-a2
But here : https://forums.ubports.com/category/91/xiaomi
There is no button ?!

That is because there is no device called 'xiaomi'. There are specific Xiaomi devices, and they have their own subcategories. You can post in those but not in the 'xiaomi' category which is just a container for the three specific xiaomi subcatregories.

@Lakotaubp @Moem about xiaomi subcategory, it lacks a lot of subcategories for xiaomi devices now supported in the ubports devices list.

Lakotaubp

@keneda I will look at that when back properly, hopefully next week at some point. However the devices subcategories will depend on if the devce is in the installer, if the port is ongoing and maintained which is all under review as are a few devices as 20.04 approaches.
There is for now the ability to start a New Topc using the big blue New Topic button in the Xiaomi subforum which @nero355 could use as well if the three existing device subforums are not what they want.

That is the issue : It's not there ?!

When I logout I can see it and it tells me that I need to login but when I login it's gone ??

Lakotaubp

@nero355 Then that is indeed odd. What device pc/laptop setup are you using? somethig seems off at your end to me. I have not seen any other reports of this issue.

@lakotaubp

Kubuntu 20.04 LTS
Firefox
Pale Moon

Nothing...

@nero355 Perhaps the button you seek is being blocked by an extension.

Neither do I.

No, because I use a clean profile without any extensions or add-ons for this forum in both browsers

And @Keneda and @Moem seem to agree with me!

Lakotaubp

Can anyone else see the blue New Topic button in the Xiaomi section after the three devices and before the other topics?

Nikfrager

@lakotaubp Yes, I can. Big rectangular button.

cliffcoggin

@lakotaubp Having looked again at the Xiaomi section, no I can not. I can see the "new topic" button in the subcategories for individual models.

Lakotaubp

@cliffcoggin The one I am on about is in the main Xiaomi category not the device subcategories. After the three devices before the other topics. Though that should be there top right above the subjects.Thanks.

hi, can you change the topic title so that it turns more in a positive/constructive thread ?
It hurts me each time i open the forum

nero355

@lduboeuf

Happy now ??

Although I still agree with my original title to be honest!

Moem

I like the new title a lot better.

nero355

Found something new :

Go to : https://forums.ubports.com/unread
And click New Topic and try to select Xiaomi sub-forum : NOPE.AVI

It's greyed out!

So my best guess is that it's a 'user/member rights' issue

Keneda

@nero355
There i can choose only BQ and LG main forum categories using morph right now, all other are greyed and clic = null .
