Keeping up with the latest Solus announcements

Axios

Its all good one thing I like about this forum we can throw things around and people dont take it personal
and if some good comes of its a benefit.
May seem at times we get bent out of shape but thats what discussions are about.
And I think its healthy.

elfprince But, if you care to recall, there were several instances in the near past when a few users were surprised and confused about no updates on those particular weekends.

I miss only week 41. But no several instances...
No criticism. I just can't understand the statement

The End.

I do support your wish for a pinned 'sync deferred' alert of some kind at Forum
.
I wonder if a an easy compromise could be for all parties for a Dev to mention the deferred sync in the last update thread, pin it at the top on Deferred weeks, and we just train ourselves to look there and only there for sync news even it means reading the last 5-10 posts just to make sure. Kind of like now, but The PIN itself would be code/a signal to users it's Deferred week for those who want to avoid the last 5-10 posts to doublecheck and no one would be in the dark. Could a system with signals but no words be applied? who knows.

not pretty but takes no real effort on anyone's part.*** spitballin.
edit: ***that statement makes the assumption that admin flarum moves are effortless; maybe the truth is they are labor-intensive? Don't know, hence 'spitballin.'

@Pjol , thanks for this useful post 🙂

elfprince , @Sebastian and others

There already is a specific tag for sync announcements (and deferrals) called "Announcements"
The url, as linked in the original post, is
https://discuss.getsol.us/t/announcements

Is that what you meant when you said you wanted a specific "channel" in the forum for these?

In fact, the current top most post on the main forum page, and the Announcements tag, is the pinned post about sync being deferred for Week 44 (01-Nov). There's a small screenshot brent provided, here are a couple more.

I don't know how we could make this clearer, honestly.

It seems the confusion stems from the fact that no announcements were posted for Week 43 or 41. We can make sure to be better about providing sync news more regularly.

At this point, I don't want the usefulness of the original post to be drowned out by tangents, so I'm locking the thread. If you want to discuss the pros and cons of RSS vs Mastodon vs the forums, or other topics, feel free to start a new topic.
