the forum works without js
[…] I don't know that there is a text only forum software available.
For me as a non-native English speaker in the given context "It works" sounds pretty much like "usable and readable in text only browsers".That's not the point of the thread. The point is to make it usable and readable in text only browsers. "It works" is not the issue.
# pkg install w3m

It could be great, reading this forum whitout Javascript at all.
Thanks for your test. I just tried use the forum with Lynx, but is not a good idea.I just disabled JavaScript in Firefox 119, entered the Forums, logged-in and am responding to your message.
There are some minor annoyancies:
- The Warning "JavaScript is disabled. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding." is displayed on all pages.
- When not logged-in, the Cookie-Banner cannot be dismissed.
- When responding to a message, the height of the text area is only three lines and needs to be increased manually.
- The Forums's WYSIWYG editor needs JavaScript (of course), and it does not show up. So, formatting must be done using the BB code syntax.
(The vi faction here on the forums would tell you anyway, that WYSIWYG is as bad as a concept for editors as it is for women :-D
Besides that, it works.
Not a helpful answer.Take it up with XenForo, this has nothing to do with the forums per se.
Ahh thanks. I can see the posts in w3m now!Those templates are horrid to be honest. Not the actual templates but how they're all strung together to form a "page". Anyway, found it in themessage_macros
template and corrected it. But I'm not sure if it's the right one I edited, your fetch doesn't give me any output anymore, so I guess it was the right template.
And browsers are supposed to be somewhat lenient when it comes to syntax.
I believe it was sent by telegraph dear
