Bug Bites
-
How about a thread like the other "Bites" threads where we can put minor bugs or weird behaviour that might not otherwise deserve a thread? Maybe it's a dumb idea. Maybe the pun in the title is dumb too. :who_nose:
Anyway the thing that prompted me to make the thread is that I noticed when upvoting posts, the number wasn't getting updated. This is clearly a showstopper, making the forum literally unusable.

Any bug in can be attributed to nasal demons.

When I was driving yesterday, I was distracted by a large bug crawling across my car's dashboard. It didn't bite me, though.

Why is there now an eye on the red boob?
-
@loopback0 Ah, I forgot about that thread. Oh, well.
-
@loopback0 After impromptu testing, it indicates which of several chats or posts (for editing or creation) that you have open is the one with focus.

Oh, yeah. That's... useless.
-
@loopback0 For sure. If you really need to know which one has focus, then just start typing. The one where the letters appear is the one with focus.
-
Also, it doesn't work properly, because if the main part of the page has focus, the eye-con doesn't disappear, so you'll think that the reply composer has focus, but really, typing will just scroll the page every time you hit .

Boobeye has taken off.

@loopback0 For sure. If you really need to know which one has focus, then just start typing. The one where the letters appear is the one with focus.
Also it's the one that's visibly on top.

The label for my username goes off the top of the screen.
Wasn't even sure what it was until I moved the icon down.

I had no idea that's what it was. What possible use is that? In case you forget your name?

I assume they just reused the code for avatars from elsewhere.
-
@loopback0 Avatar beside a post, your own user menu, they're pretty much exactly the same thing, right?

You joke but that's not so easy for some of us.

Crap! Forgot to switch accounts before posting!

It's a boob; don't you want to keep an eye on it?

I don't want the boob to have its own eye(s).

Would it be okay if the boob had its own cat?

Definately a bad idea. I have to remind our QA people that JIRA tickets are free every time they try to pull this - it just is such a pain to keep track of everything.

JIRA tickets are free, but (at least here) developers can only be assigned a set number of points per sprint... So people cram as much shit into a ticket as they can.
Meanwhile, I find I have trouble following many threads in parallel, so I prefer the megathreads where I can just tail -f.

This is why we can't have nice things...
I'm a JIRA admin myself and I have given up on restrictions a while ago (except for some high-level permissions of course).
Meanwhile, I find I have trouble following many threads in parallel, so I prefer the megathreads where I can just tail -f.
That's nice and all until you lose your position or need to search for something from a while ago ("I remember it was posted... 5 pages back. Hmmm, no.")

At some point there was discussion about implementing sub-threads in Forum Improvements (in the case of derailment, for example). This would be an excellent use-case for that vapeature!

As the vanishing aspects of a vaporware product, such is the disappearance of the vapeature!

@mott555 Interesting...
The reply itself notes this:
EDIT: Well, looks like that post doesn't exist anymore. Oops. Totally one-upped fbmac there.
My best guess is that our post ids have finally caught up with the id number from before the timeskip so that the in-reply-to-post-id field baked into topspin's post finally lines up again with a real post.

In my /unread:
Link points to
https://what.thedailywtf.com/topic/8743/linkedin-and-asian-programmers-indian-and-pakistani/11
. Clicking on it:
But wait, there is more!
If I manually edit the link to go to
https://what.thedailywtf.com/topic/8743/linkedin-and-asian-programmers-indian-and-pakistani/10
, I get there:
And
https://what.thedailywtf.com/topic/8743/linkedin-and-asian-programmers-indian-and-pakistani/12
goes there:
So you might expect
11
to go to pie_flavor's post in between, but it doesn't. All other post numbers seem to work. Only pie_flavor's one doesn't. Maybe it's stuck on Earth-73 and can't get to ours?And also, it's not the first time I notice this issue (on this specific thread only, all other seem OK) and I'm pretty sure I had already read both pie_flavor's and Tsaukpaetra's post, so I'm not sure why the /unread link is to
11
and not to13
(the last post, which is probably the only one I've actually not yet read). But that part might just be me mis-remembering what I've read, so let's forget about it.

The header/ribbon/whatever seems to get mixed with (or fall behind) thread content sometimes, after which it stops working; clicking on buttons in it does nothing. Have to use the address bar to reload front page, which fixes things.
I'm using Firefox. Haven't tested on other browsers. It only happens occasionally, and to switch browsers just to try to reproduce this.

Does Ben work for Facebook?
I've been getting messages of the form "XYZ has posted a new picture" that Facebook knows I've already seen two days ago.

Most of the time, embedded Youtube videos don't start playing right away after you click on them; it loads the actual Youtube embed (as opposed to whatever puts there initially) and you can click on that to start playing, or add it to watch later, or whatever. Except for sometimes, when it starts auto-playing right away.
-
@hungrier No repro on Firefox so far since last update. (last video watched today).
-
@Zecc There's no consistency to it from what I can tell, at least on Chrome-ish browsers. Usually when I see some long video in a thread I'll click the embed to enable the Youtube controls then add to watch later. This morning I tried to do that (it was some security oriented video) and it started playing.

I remember it was posted... 5 pages
Some pages are more equal than others. For mine, that number is seven, so almost never will someone else's pages rub up against mine.

When posting a new reply, the replies counter updates but doesn't add the user avatar.
Before (reconstructed, poorly; I didn't take a screenshot):
After:
-
Chat icons:
Instead of the user's avatar resized to fit the icon, it's just the corner, and it also has a background instead of transparency
-
@boomzilla Where can I get one?

@loopback0 And that's now on the "To get when I get money" list. Thanks!
