🤔…huh, this is odd, as I’m 99% certain I didn’t start an entire thread just to let the boss know about my minor unexpected discovery.
No matter, I’mma roll with it anyway.
Seems I ought ensure to clarify, first off, for the record, I do not have any solution, moreover I simply haven’t the slightest clue what php is either.
As much as I would like to help, unfortunately my ignorance here means I am incapable, thus unable, and therefore unlikely to be of assistance with this. Of course I assuredly would, if I could, except I lack the skills, so ultimately can’t. However when I have a spare moment today, I will at least attempt to elicit a php solution for you from the coding AI, although I definitely wouldn’t get my hopes up since the efficacy of AI generated output tends to be roughly equal to the efficacy of the data input, which I lack.
With that out of the way, and as I’m currently short on time, I’ll just quickly address two of the other points presented by the preceding response.
😄 It almost comes off like a sales pitch there aye mate, ie: “…Flarum’s vast appearance settings and extension ecosystem…”
Sounds impressive, no doubt, and I might’ve been impressed by such a statement, alas were it not for the fact that, as a hobby admin of several different fora software brands and being that I am one with near total ignorance of software coding in general overall, the fact is that I am already quite able, as is anyone else, to achieve much the same with Flarum™-based software as with, for example: XenForo™-based software, InVision™-based software, Forumotion™-based software, et al.
In particular, the Forumotion™-based software, including the free version, actually provides far more appearance modification options for admins with or without coding experience, than all the others currently allow, while in comparison, although the InVision™-based software definitely doesn’t come close to that, they are however well ahead of the rest with their front-end appearance modification system which enables admins the significantly advantageous ability to see exactly what modifications look like in real-time. Tbh I’m surprised none of the other brands have recognized the tremendous benefits of front-end theme mod systems.
I’ve noticed non-native English speakers quite often utilize inappropriate terms/or otherwise inappropriately utilize such, although more than likely doing so unintentionally and probably without realizing having done so at all.
As such, and as an English speaking native, it is my (optional) responsibility to offer encouragement towards the correct and appropriate usage of any incorrectly employed English, especially where it may be ineffective &/or potentially leading to significant miscommunication issues arising as a direct consequence, particularly where it seems the users themselves may as yet be unaware of the error.
I am specifically referring to the seemingly innocent (French originating) Englsh term - ‘but’.
Long story short, it is generally counterproductive to use the word ‘but’ immediately following any statement of importance.
Why?
Put simply, it’s due to the fact that the English term - ‘but’ - implies negating/or cancelling out everything stated immediately preceding it.
It is like a communication ‘red light’ …a ‘flashing, warning’.
By saying ‘but’, this essentially communicates to the average English speaking native: ‘disregard everything I just said, because here comes the real message!!’
English speaking natives generally give more attention and thus place more weight upon whatever comes after the word - ‘but’.
It’s such an unassuming little word, but the fact is that it inherently possesses the capacity for enabling significant communicative impact, both positive & negative, depending upon the usage.—(*note: in the prior sentence I have demonstrated an example of the proper (and positive) usage of ‘but’.)
Anyways, I’ve gotta run, so I’ll have to conclude here.
