Next Monday, March 3, Servoy Forum will move to a new platform using discourse communities. We’re excited, because this will allow us to have a community which is more modern, active and secure.
Don’t worry - the legacy of posts and information will be migrated, as well as your user account.
In order to make this move, we will disable log-in on Monday, so we can do a clean data migration. Therefore, you will be able to read the forum, but you will not be able to post/reply, etc.
After some testing and verification, we will enable the new site. You will simply need to reset your password to be back in business. We expect this to be done by Tuesday, March 4.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reply to this topic or message me directly.
The url will be the same as always: https://forum.servoy.com/ (We will do a DNS change and use permalinks, so old topic URLs in search results etc. will also just work)
Discourse.org (not to be confused with Discord). Used by many companies to engage their communities (seen here)
Just to clarify, once the migration is complete, you will simply return to the same forum URL as before, but you will need to reset your password to login.
A reset deeplink will be emailed to the same email account connected to the forum.
That’s a great question. In the upcoming releases (including 2025.03 and LTS minor updates) notifications will definitely work.
We are also working on a fix to ensure that developer notifications work in older versions, but won’t be sure until after the migration.
(The new site also has extended RSS capabilities, so it is also possible to configure your own feed reader if you like.)
Regarding Notifications in Servoy Developer: It will be a bit tricky. In short, we had it working but had to disable it. (We tried a cloudflare rule to redirect the rss feed old URL to the new URL, but that messes with the new site.) It will definitely work in subsequent releases of the Servoy Developer, but we’re still looking into getting to work on past releases… Thanks for your patience on this.
Thanks a lot to the team for the effort, change of password and email worked as planned, rss get’s picked up correctly with feedly.
Width in general seems to be on par with the assumption of modern web apps, minimum of 20% whitespace on the sides, edit windows small so you can scroll but I’ll create a rant in the suggestion forum some other day, too much headache/fever today to be solution-oriented about it.
