      Since I started this topic many bugs disappeared :

      • Editing post works with any browser.
      • The Load Balancer Error thingy has disappeared too!

      Happy coincidence or not ?! 🙂

      Something different that bugs me are the notifications :

      • You get a notification for every damn little thing that happens in a topic where you posted something ?!
      • And if there are multiple and you only click on one then the rest is marked as Read too ?!
      • And the layout of the posts now that I think of it : Not enough space between the lines so your post looks very "crowded" even if you add multiple empty lines! 😞

      But maybe I will get used to it some day... :face_savoring_food:

      My phones :

      • BQ Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Phone Edition - Ubuntu Touch 16.04 LTS
      • ZUK Z2 Pro - ZUI Android 8.x
      • Xiaomi Mi 9T - Jolla SailFish 3.4.x Community Build

      P.S. : I am NOT a developer! ;)

        I never had issue editing posts.
        And never experienced the load balancer issue too.

        You can change the settings for notifications.
        Yes they disappear because when there is an upvote or a new post in a thread when you read the thread it considers you saw these even if you didn't pay attention to it.

        For the layout I don't understand ; seems fine for me.
        Can you show a screenshot or give us the browser you're using so we can try to reproduce?

        Edit: Also have you tried the forum's app on Ubuntu Touch devices?

          Just yesterday I suddenly found out how to add tags to a post! 😅
          Took me long enough...

            Do you ever open multiple tabs at once ?

            I will create some screenshots and let you know 🙂

              Open the appropriate subcategory to find the "Start new topic" button at top left.

                      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.

                          @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.

                              @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.
