Fixing the F**king Forum Editor

If so is everything up to date so I can start asking their devs about it?

 

I think that there is an outstanding update, last time I logged in to the admin interface I was hassled about it

Warning
Joomla 3.10 has entered security only mode. Support ends 17 August 2023. Start planning to migrate to Joomla 4 today.

Kunena
Version:5.2.5
Codename:Ligeia
Date:2021-05-30

Looks like we are using a newer version than what the Kunena 5.1 announcement for new features mentioned: Editor: Add wysibb editor (wysiwyg) (kunena plugins will not work on wysiwyg)

or does this mean that one should choose the wysibb editor?
I don't have access so I can't try.

Picture preview in forum post don't work for me any longer.

Is there a manual to insert pictures?

And text get messed up if you try to edit it after post is done.

What hold's us back from trowing this Kunena code into the trash bin?

Few of us have access to the admin features.

Do we fix Kunena? If we throw it away, what will replace it and will that effect all the older posts?

Who has admin rights as well as the time and skills to try and fix the editor issue and keep backwards compatibility so that we don't mess up 10+ years of forum posts?

Hi Bari,

In the past ~10 years ago, i had 2 forum's, i have some experience with forums.

Admin could do a complete forum backup. And afterwards load it back in.
It's not that hard to test if this works for another forum type.

I coud test it, if they send me a wetransfer link with a backup. Could be a backup of a period, just to test.

This kunena really sucks. I give it a value of 2 out of 10.




 

This should work.

Wetransfer, really?
You are aware that a database/web backup contains all the user info in it, passwords included.
Sending those to china is not a good idea.
