I'm happy to announce that moodle.org is now running on the latest Moodle 3.7rc2 code. smile

Upgrading moodle.org is part of our Release process so that community members can help identify any bugs in the new version. Thus, if you notice anything which is not quite right on moodle.org, please reply to this discussion or add a comment to MDLSITE-5730.

In particular, the moodle.org theme has been rewritten to be based on the new Classic theme, so there are likely to be places where the appearance needs improving. Please report such issues with a screenshot illustrating the problem.

Thanks in advance for your help with testing!

Ooh! Liking the reply inline here smile And that is one of several nice improvements I noticed already.

Some things that might be bugs:
  1. Unread messages in a forum thread a no longer highlighted.
  2. This might be intentional or it might be an unintended change: On the course page the unread message count is now on a separate line below the forum name, rather than at the end of the same line.
  3. Reply inline does not give you atto immediately. Instead you have to click an advanced link, so as soon as you want a numbered list, like here, the new UI is worse. Why not just give atto from the start?
  4. And, when you switch form inline to Advanced, all the line-breaks in your message are lost. They should be converted to paragraphs.

Hi,

I'm totally with Tim, and think these are regressions/bugs :

  1. a regression for me
  2. a regression : less visible than before (could be useful if we had 2 columns of activities)
  3. i can understand this choice, if most messages just use pure and simple text (use advanced just when needed)
  4. bug

Perhaps it's because i'm really used to the "good old" interface, or because it's hard to handle new things, but for me the new style is really with lot or corners/angles, and i don't like it. Not sure having links for previous/next discussions, and just under links for previous/next activity is really understandable for most users and a good UI choice...

And i really miss the dock sad

Séverin, I agree that the links for previous/next discussions and previous/next activities are very confusing. Are the previous/next discussion links new in 3.7? Regarding no longer being able to dock blocks, it seems it would be a lot of work to reimplement it. If anyone reading this thread would like the functionality back, please make sure you have voted for MDL-64567.

Good news!
The first thing I noticed is that I am (or was) getting duplicate email for each forum messages.
The second thing is that "badges" here on forum have an "alt" with it's description but has no "title" so no description on mourse hover.

Hello,

Following the update of moodle.org yesterday morning (switch to version 3.7 I suppose), when you reply to a message, there is a "Re:" added to the subject even if it is a reply to a reply (Re:Re: ). Apart from changing the subject title (remove the "Re:" add), is it possible to avoid this new behaviour?

Looks very nice!

Not sure if this is related to the moodle upgrade but I found this bug on in the plugin db on each plugin page:

The first three values are common to all the plugins while the rest are the real values until April. Would be great if the first values would be the stats of the present month that will removed some months ago and are really useful for plugin developers.

I appear to have had 3 forum digests, sent at 06:06, 10:22 and 11:49, instead of 1 daily digest... 🤔 Anyone else had this?

Did the Demo area get removed (Mount Orange and Sandbox)? I no longer see the tab.

Thanks

I think it is a general Moodle regression rather than a Moodle.org regression.
