Browse all topics you or another Vivaldi Community member has started on the Vivaldi Forum.
Are you looking for an old topic you started, or have you come across a forum user, who has started an interesting discussion, and you want to check out other topics they’ve created? There’s a page on the user’s profile, where you can view all topics in chronological order.
To view all user’s topics:
Go to your own or another community member’s forum profile.
Click on the blue circle with 3 dots on the right side.
Explore the Vivaldi Forum your way by choosing between page-by-page navigation or infinite scroll.
If you like to display content in easily manageable portions, dividing the list of topics in categories and posts in threads into pages is for you. But if you prefer to have new content appear automatically as soon as you’ve reached the end, enabling infinite scroll is the way to go. Luckily, the Vivaldi Forum caters to both styles.
To update your preference:
Click on your profile picture in the top right corner of the Forum and select “Settings” from the menu.
In the Pagination section, either enable or disable “Paginate topics and posts instead of using infinite scroll”.
If you’ve opted to paginate posts and topics, feel free to adjust the number of items that are shown per page.
Mark Vivaldi Forum notifications as read without opening them.
When someone replies to a topic you’ve commented on on the Vivaldi Forum, then of course you want to see what they say and you click on the notification to be taken to the topic. But some notifications are just informational. In that case, you can mark them read without opening the topic.
To mark a notification as read:
Open the notifications menu.
Click on the little circle above the notification time on the right side.
To mark all notifications read, click on “Mark all read” at the bottom of the list.
Choose whether to start watching Forum topics you create and engage with automatically or not.
When you “watch” topics on the Vivaldi Forum, you’ll receive notifications whenever someone replies to the discussion. You can start watching topics manually or be added as a watcher automatically after you’ve posted.
In the “Watch” section, tick the boxes for “Watch topics you create” and/or “Watch topics that you reply to” if you want to receive notifications, or untick the boxes if you don’t want to be added as a watcher to the topic.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Save changes”.

In buzzing Forum discussions, it can become a little unclear which comment you’re replying to when you don’t reference the post in your response. To make it easier to follow discussions, you can quote the post or parts of it in your own post.
To quote a post on the Forum:

Quoting will add the author’s name, the link to the topic it was posted in, and the post’s contents to your post’s editor. If the quoted post is very long, you can delete the irrelevant parts.

Got a question about Vivaldi? Ask it on the Forum.

With the combined wealth of knowledge our community and team members possess, you’ll get quality answers 24/7.
Use the search function first, though. With thousands of topics, it’s likely that someone has already asked the same question, so instead of creating a duplicate topic, you can just continue the discussion.
To ask a question on the Forum:
Log in to your Vivaldi account.
Look for the most relevant category for your question.
In that category, click “New Topic”.
Give your topic a clear title.
Ask your question and, when troubleshooting an issue, share as many details as possible.
Use Forum’s Advanced Search to find the most relevant discussions.
Vivaldi Forum is full of discussion threads about all things Vivaldi and more. If you have a question or a request, it’s best to use the search function first. The odds are that your question has already been answered or a feature request is already collecting upvotes from the community.
To use Advanced Search, click on the 3 gear icons in the Search field in the top right corner of the Forum.
You can narrow down results by the following criteria:
Category
Post author
Tags
Number of replies
Post time
Whether the search term can be found only in the topic title or also in the content
Whether all or only some words in results need to match the search term
Type “:” and the emoji name to add emojis to your posts on Vivaldi Social and the Forum.
Emojis help to convey the emotion behind your written message 😂, make the message more noticeable ⚠️ and just more fun 🤸. There are multiple ways to add emojis on Vivaldi Social and the Forum. For example, you can use the emoji picker (look for a smiley face button in the post composer) or your OS’ emoji keyboard (Win + . / ⌃ ⌘ Space). But there’s also a third option.
In the post composer, if you type a colon symbol “:” and continue typing a keyword, you’ll get suggestions that match that keyword. For example, if you type :thumbs, you’ll get suggestions for :thumbs_up: 👍 and :thumbs_down: 👎 emojis. Finish typing the name and end it with another colon or use the down arrow and Enter keys, to select and insert the emoji to your post.
The emoji names can vary per site. If just typing a keyword doesn’t come up with the emoji you’re looking for, you can find out the name by opening the emoji picker, finding the emoji and hovering over it. The name will be shown as a tooltip and next time you need the emoji, you’ll be able to just type it.
