I am stuck at

(The button at the bottom is not clickable.)

Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a solution?

In the image you posted with headline “Peter Krysl – welcome…” there are two “agree” buttons.

O You agree to uphold our Code of Conduct  
O You agree to our Terms and Conditions

I think you need to click on the Os to turn on the Continue button.

Looks great!  
Any chance for integration of Pluto notebooks into Forem (ideally, with [GitHub - JuliaPluto/PlutoSliderServer.jl: Web server to run just the `@bind` parts of a Pluto.jl notebook](https://github.com/JuliaPluto/PlutoSliderServer.jl))? Interactive notebooks with complete, running code would be a great enhancement.

Hmm, I made a comment on a post and when I pressed submit it told me “Error: body markdown has already been taken” (IIRC). But it looks to me like the comment went through anyway—can anyone confirm?

Edit: Also, I notice that here on Discourse if you put something in a codefence without indicating the language, it automatically defaults to Julia syntax highlighting, whereas in the comment I made in Forem I had to write ````julia` to get it to work. Might be worth making Julia the default there as well?

It’s the same as a like, no real difference.

It might be possible but not in the short term, I don’t have bandwidth to make that integration at the moment.

I don’t think we have that control but you can open an issue at the Forem GitHub (it’s open source) and ask this!

Yes, that sounds more a job for an rss feed that anyone interested can opt into right now, rather than a new category on this site that people uninterested would have to mute

I am not able to display matrices correctly with Katex:  
{% katex inline %}A = I + uv^T = \begin{matrix} -3 & -4 & -4 & -2 \  
16 & 7 & 6 & 8 \  
-4 & -4 & -3 & -2 \  
-16 & -16 & -16 & -7 \end{matrix}{% endkatex %}  
is displaying as a single row vector of 16 elements. There is no stacking of rows.

Try doubling the backslashes (I assume you’re doing two now, but since you forgot the backtick fence we can’t see them. But maybe you need four). Otherwise, try `\begin{array}{cccc}`.

I have done two backslashes between rows. I made it four. Now it works.

The default back ground is black for the julia code. Can I change this to some other color? If yes how?

If possible:  
For new registrated users on Forem the first article should be moderated.  
Reason:  
Increasing rate of advertisement articles. Well, rate is still low (a few per week) but seem to increase lately.

This non-article  
[https://forem.julialang.org/brian/guo-liar-5521](https://forem.julialang.org/brian/guo-liar-5521)  
is still present despite report.

In general moderation on forem is slow and insufficient in my opinion. I would volunteer as I am looking at it daily if this is wanted.
