hmm I'm getting frequent logouts but haven't noticed a connection to that, let's try it in this post @user1234

Edit: nope, I'm still in, I think I usually get kicked out when I use the forum on different devices without much time difference. Also, are you using freecad.org or freecadweb.org?

Thanks for testing!

I also now use a mention and did not kicked out. But i get kicked out in this session before. I enter with freecad.org, but it linkes to freecadweb.org. Is this changed? Was not freecad.org changed to the new standard?

Greetings

That's the goal but the transition was never finished AFAIK, I stayed in freecadweb because every login in the other website was a PITA

The stay-logged-in recognition is based on IP. If your provider changes it frequently, you may not be properly recognized. Solution: stay logged in 24/7 and help around the clock :D .

Now I'm certain that @chrisb is suffering from an often changing IP adress :D

I had a couple of network-related issues too these last weeks with the forum, disconnection, posts that timed out, etc. I think there must have been some hiccup somewhere... But it seems back to normal now

Feature request: can we give the mentions a slightly transparent background to help differentiate the font from the background itself. Here's an example of how I see mentions after they've been altered via the CSS

See below:

In your screenshot the background is the same as the rest, so it seems already to be transparent.

I guess I was asking to add some opacity to the background of the font so it differentiates better. 😅

Maybe another color, simply?
The thing is, I'm hesitating to modify the plugin, because then it'll become complicated to update... Better to do this with theming I guess, once we decide to rewrite a good FreeCAD theme ;)
