How to update Marlin config files/BLtouch changes + Discourse launch!
Added 2020-02-25 23:05:03 +0000 UTCDear Patrons,
I've had no internet for a couple of weeks now, surviving on mobile phone hot spots. It's been challenging to say the least and a far cry from the new and fast NBN that was meant to happen at the start of the month. Still going to be a week until I'm back online properly, and who knows how long until I finally get the NBN.
Nevertheless, things have been progressing in the background. Above is a Patreon exclusive video I promised recently. The link for the software is: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/
The process is still labour intensive but a lot better than doing it blindly. Hopefully this type of job isn't one that comes up very often.
I've been working through a series of bugs with Discourse support but I believe all is now fixed. The Discourse forum for $5+ pledges is now active:
https://teachingtech.discourse.group
You will be asked to sign in, which you can do with the "sign in with Patreon" button, after which it will complete making an account with your chosen username. Members of the public or below $5 tiers won't see anything, $5 tiers will see all the categories and soon to be populated topics, and $10 tier will see one additional category for organising the video hangouts.
Assuming it runs smoothly for the next few days I'll update the pledges and welcome message with instructions at the start of March. This will mean abandoning the community section too.
Thanks for your patience, we finally got there.

I joined the $10+ and adjusted the pledge accordingly. Deleted the Discourse account and resigned up. Verified the email is the same, and Patreon says I am logged into Discourse, but I don't see any categories, just the welcome post. BUT it might take a few for it to update and reflect changes. So I'll check again when I get up. Either way, I'm stoked to use it. Can't wait to see how it grows!!!

2020-02-26 12:05:25 +0000 UTCI am. When I look under my profile settings here on Patreon, it shows I am logged into the Teaching Tech Patreon Discourse with my patraon log in. When I look at groups in Discourse, it doesn't show that I am apart of either member group. OHHHHHH do I have to join one of the tiers? My pledge is more than what the tiers offer. Could this have something to do with it?

2020-02-26 12:04:20 +0000 UTCDid you use the same email address as patreon on account creation?

2020-02-26 11:52:01 +0000 UTCThat is the only post, you know if it is working if you can see the categories down the left hand side of the front page. Will you do the honour of making the first post?

2020-02-26 11:07:07 +0000 UTCSigned right up for Discourse!! But all I can see is the Welcome post when I sign in with my patreon credentials. I'm using the same email as I use here, hehe, any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Or is the welcome post the only thing there at the moment?

2020-02-26 10:20:45 +0000 UTCDiscord has its uses but for me I didn't want everything to blend in to one big chat. This is a traditional message board format, you should be able to control notifications as you please.

2020-02-26 00:58:11 +0000 UTCI agree and am relieved I loath the discord format and the constant pop-ups when anyone posts. ;0
