New Interface and Old Interface

For those who have trouble using the newly upgraded interface (I do), here is how you fix it.
In the upper lefthand corner you will see a Capital “A”. It is actually a “switch” that when you tap on it, it will change to the dual pane mode. This is sometimes easier for me if I’m pasting text or if I’m quoting material.

The link is here: For most things, the default rich text editor interface is good. Good job discourse team.

We usually upgrade every month or two, but this was one of the major upgrades.
We have been quite unique with Google Auth sign in and also emoji reactions, but now these features are standard for all “discourse” software users.

If you didn’t know this, “discourse” is the name of the software we use. Normally the urls start with “discourse” to make discourseDotWebsiteName. However, classical theravada has only one purpose. I’m not sure if that was a good decision, but I’m “old school” and wanted a shorter name to type when we started the group. So we modeled it more like dhwheel instead of suttacentral.

Thanks for turning on the new editor. I found pasting quoted text quite easy. You can just type the Markdown quote marker, > (with a space) and it inserts the quote formatting. Then just paste.

I think you made the right decision to skip the discourse sub domain. I actually don’t think it ever makes sense. Much better to use something like “forum” if it is in support of another project. Too easy to confuse it with “discord”.

Thanks as well for all the behind the scene work to keep the forum going.

3 years and now 300 users later, we can thank the annoying usual bunch from DhammaWheel to make me decide to not return again. Then I saw a website that Robert had with 4 users and that was when I got the idea to do the real thing. Although I have some technical knowledge, my Myanmar friend “ko ko ye” did the ultra tech work for free . Sadhu for his work.

I just hit the up arrow a few times until I get the right command in the server and press enter and the updates happen.
