Pallas I'm not sure. But it would be awfully nice to just be able to post however you want on any piano-related topic of your choice.

This is my feeling. I don't understand the need to categorize everything "correctly." It will make some people stress about the "proper" place to post things. Personally I just pull up all discussions anyway; I rarely even go to a specific forum. Maybe this is something to discuss more in the future, if the site grows and things start to seem chaotic?

      JB_PT Haha there's that too.... in that case, ok, what about going the other way and lump everything "Piano" together? No longer Analog Piano, Digital Piano, Tuner Technicians but just "Piano Talk"? Or is that a step too far? Remember, I'm just brainstorming with you guys 😃 I agree that the less forums the better, despite of what I said before. Let me change my previous reply to mention this more specifically.

          Sophia Teacher Talk (since that one is so unpopular, is it really needed?

          Just because it's currently unpopular doesn't mean that it shouldn't be there! I hope in the future there will be teachers who want to join.

            Sophia Remember, I'm just brainstorming with you guys

            I understand...I wasn't trying to shoot down your ideas. It just seems like it might be hard to dial things in perfectly right now as this site is just getting on its feet. It's awesome that we have this option though - to make suggestions and get to be part of the customization process. 🙂

              Right on!! I know I can get a little carried away when I feel passionate about something - and this forum ticks all the right boxes. Please, continue to shoot down my ideas especially if they are truly bad 😁

                Sophia it's all just a friendly discussion! There are no bad ideas, just ideas 🙂

                  Sophia what about going the other way and lump everything "Piano" together?

                  I think the "All Discussions" tab is already doing that! I think this is pretty great for someone who wants to see everything, but it is also great that someone who is only interested in Digitals can stay there without having to wade through everything else.

                  For me personally, if "hiding subforums" in the "All Discussions" view gets implemented, I will be hiding the Digitals posts from my view since I have no interest in that. So I like having some high-level categories at least.

                      twocats I will be hiding the Digitals posts from my view since I have no interest in that.

                      Ok, playing devil's advocate here. I thought exactly the same about acoustic pianos. It's not that I'm not interested, but there is no realistic expectation that we'll be adding one to the household any time soon. So I didn't look at the forum - and then I found out I missed out on one of the most awesome threads in this forum where people shared stories about how their love affair with piano started. Now I also trained myself to look at the /all view 😊

                      But otherwise I do agree - I think some sections are needed. One well known forum has way too many, and another doesn't have enough. So far I think PT is in the Goldilocks zone... I'm hoping it will never change in a cacophony of forums and subforums, such as the place that shall not be named 😼

                        @navindra a minor bug, but on the notifications page if I clear individual notifications, the tally at the bottom will become a negative number. And if I refresh it'll fix it. It doesn't really affect the usability but at the same time, somebody at Flarum should probably fix it 🙂

                        @navindra It looks like you can't quote video links. It's not a major issue, but could be a slight improvement.

                        I heard a beautiful song in a tv show, but it it's not piano music, so it's off topic. Is it okay to start a topic about other music? And where?

                          Josephine I think an "off topic" forum is a good idea. In PW, the off topic forums are totally dead, but since many people here are looking at "all discussions", an "off topic" forum has a chance of succeeding.

                          EDIT: I don't think "off topic" is a good name. How about "Away From The Piano" or "Break Time"?

                              Josephine I love it too! Perhaps Meta (which I always thought a little ugly as a name) could be renamed to PianoTell Pub?

                                I'm not sure what I did. First I edited my post, but after that I decided to delete it. I think I also flagged it.

                                  Josephine I had replied to it but then it was gone so I deleted my reply too 😂

                                      11 days later

                                      Is PT's clock on UTC or some other static time zone?

                                      Sometimes I'll refresh a page, and a forum's last post or reply will jump from "2 hours ago" to "1 day ago". The skip implies 24 hours has passed when in reality it's only been a few hours. And also, it's still bright and sunny in the afternoon for me when it flips to "a day ago" so it seems really odd to suggest a day has passed.

                                      I assume the last-updated logic counts in minutes/hours until the server's internal clock changes date, and then it reports all posts made in the last day (even if a few seconds ago) as a day old? I also didn't see a way in my profile to set a time zone, so there's no way to align it with local time either.

                                      Is this something that can be adjusted/improved upon?

                                        Gombessa I don't know, to me it always shows CET (so it's my time zone - I'm in Poland), even if I'm not logged in
