Last post by Jorin - @Spuds I tried to send you a message but I get this error message:
"Template-Analyse-Fehler! Ein Fehler ist im Template-System des Forums aufgetreten! Dieses Problem sollte nur temporär auftreten, bitte versuche es später noch einmal. Solltest du die Fehlermeldung weiterhin erhalten, kontaktiere bitte den Administrator.
Du kannst außerdem versuchen, die Seite zu aktualisieren."
I'm sure that was a bitter sweet decision. Keeping forums going is a tough road these days, not just from vapid SM, but now AI makes it much much worse IMO of course. Now folks simply ask the AI bot question X and trust the answer, move on, never to interact with people or the site where is obtained that data.
Anyway, I'd love to have your old how to use ElkArte data, I'd try to add it to the github Wiki, that assuming I ever get the time If you can zip it up and send me a link to gab it, I'd be very grateful.
I am admin of a forum about cars with hybrid or battery electric drives for over 10 years now: https://forum-alternative-antriebe.de/. But the time has changed, the forum is barely alive and I will close it till january because of lack of interest in it.
So two things:
First: I want to thank you all for your support in the last years, your help you offered. ElkArte is a great software and I had a lot of fun using ist. Thank you very much!
Second: I made a site about using ElkArte. Of course it is in german, but maybe someone want to use it, translate it with KI and host it anywhere? If so, I will offer the complete code to you. If not, this site will be shut down too. You can find it here: https://elkarte-erste-schritte.de/index.html - so please let me know.
So, time to say goodbye. Take care and thanks for all the fish...

Pretty sure it's ElkArte forum software, since the question is posted on the ElkArte Forum software website.. Yea, I'll be interested in seeing what "concrete steps" you can offer for ElkArte beyond waiting for a version that supports individual or group posting-delay settings..

Yeah, I’ve dealt with this before. On most forum software, the “time between posts” is usually tied to the member group, not individual accounts. A common workaround is to create a special trusted group for long-time or proven members and lower the wait time for that group. Some platforms also let you set exceptions via user IDs or plugins, but it depends on what forum software you’re using. Which one are you on? I can give more concrete steps.

I just tested adding myself + 2 users and got the same array combine error. If I remove myself, it sends fine. Looks like the code filters a recipient somewhere and the two arrays end up different lengths. On the new badge, I’ve had it stick until I either reply or hit Mark as Read. Opening from the inbox didn’t clear it, but opening from the header dropdown did. Might be a cache/state issue on the last message in a thread.
Ran into this building a small SMS tool for bulk sms, deduping recipients and reindexing before array combine fixed it.
That is one aspect - sometimes threads "fork", or are addressed/clarified, restated, and if, for example, the user hasn't followed through the reply chain (hasn't read the more resent posts in the recent posts section yet), their "reply" post lacks subject context that quoting would at least clarify if the conversation has already moved on past that point.
I'm not sure what you are getting at is it simply that in the full topic listing there is not reply button on each message yet there is one for each when viewed in the recent listing?
Its easy to remove the extra buttons from the recent listing, but its been that way for a long time.
As you note, "reply" once was under every post in the topic section but now isn't. I accept the logic of its removal (for what I described above, for one), but that logic didn't extend to the "recent posts".
And, if you do read a post in the "recent posts" list, see the reply option, click the link to the post in the topic, and upon arrival, see "no reply option under the message" there where you expected to see (and use) it ..
Notify of course is a topic level function as well .. even though its shown on a per message in the recent listing.
Yea, it's just cleaner and simpler in my mind to have the "Recent Posts" list a curating list, each post 'replica' linking to the original post in its thread with less opportunity to inadvertently introduce confusion, as opposed to a "separate Board/topic/thread" clone called "Recent Posts" that behaves differently than the others

Is your concern that they are not reading the thread, in which case they may simply click reply when there was already a reply? I know some users tend to be lazy and just use recent posts for everything.

I think it's not a good idea to have permissions to do anything with posts in the "recent posts" listings other than link to the actual post in the topic - that's where the user should act on posts. Quote, Reply (and Like, Notify?), etc. should not be available in the Recent Posts list, only be available in the actual topic. Observed in v 1.1.x and v 2.x
Worse, it's apparently a logic conflict in 2.x..
In v 2.x, you can't "reply" to a particular message in a topic - the Reply function at the top (or bottom) of the topic is for the general topic, where the individual posts offer a "Quote" (which makes sense) as the reply is going to end up at the end of the reply chain anyway so you know what post is being replied to. But you can "reply" to the individual posts from the Recent Posts listing, which I think really doesn't make sense in the listing, or anywhere else for that matter....
