Genuinely Useful Bug Reports

Duncan was pay-or-play, so they had to put him somewhere.
Fair enough, but I maintain that it looked a little odd with Duncan riding around in Peter Dinklage's pocket for the whole second act, other than the eight minute unbroken shot of him foraging for insects and nuts.
-
I heard it was a tit-for-tat thing. They had to include the song in order to get Edgar Winter to play the part of the pillar of salt.
Probably a package deal--studio wanted Edgar Winter's Frankenstein for Shelley Winters' Frankenstein (not to be confused with Percy Bysshe Shelley's The Diary of Anne Frank (not to be confused with L. Frank Baum's The Wizard of Ozymandias)).

Not to be confused with Ben L.'s anything.

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

Amazingly, the most advanced special effect they used were popsicle sticks.

The door on the left contains a turret that will shoot entire bullets at you until you die.
Would you like to choose the door in the middle, or stay with the door on the right?

Would you like to choose the door in the middle, or stay with the door on the right?
So if you stick with the door on the right, and it's not right, then the one that's left is right, but either way, we know the one on the left is not right.

Well, yeah, if you don't consider splicing shrew DNA into Michael Clark Duncan to be a special effect...
-
I'm not sure if you picked the door on the right or the one in the middle, so here's the right door:
And here's the right door:
It contains one of those useless sentient cubes.

It's a 1-in-2 chance no matter which I pick, so I'll stay right.

Right, all that's left is the right door (which isn't the left door) but we're in the middle of deciding if the middle is right or if the right leads right to the middle of the turret that is left.
-
All three doors have already been opened, so technically it's a zero-in-any-positive-number chance that you're right.

Aw fuck, I won a Michael Clark Duncan?

No, he said sentient. Michael Clarke Duncan may have been sentient at one time, but he is no longer.
-
No, he said sentient. Michael Clark<b>e</b> Duncan may have been sentient at one time, but he is no longer.
So I won a dead Michael Clarke Duncan?
-
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
No, that's from Margaret Mitchell's pro-slavery novel How To Serve Man.

Wait, Michael Clarke Duncan is Hannibal Lecter?
Ob Discourse WTF: I'm seriously confused. I highlighted your tag, but there was no "Reply Quote" button, so I clicked the regular "Reply" button. The reply window appeared with the tag text already quoted, even though I hadn't clicked the non-existent "Reply Quote" button, and there was now (then) a "Reply Quote" button floating over the no-longer-selected text.

Also, if the short name is the "system wide unique" name, why on earth is it editable in the user preferences? Shouldn't it be fixed at account creation time?
There's a window of 3 days (configurable) after account creation where users can change their own name. After that it becomes an admin task (I think/hope - hence my PM to you yesterday.)I just raised it to 20 (which will be deployed here next run), if the powers-that-be want to allow longer ones so be it. They have a hidden setting for it.
@sam, is that being added, or was it hidden away somewhere; I looked yesterday and couldn't find it.Expectation: Quoting an entire post in a reply should be easy.
If it's just the one post you're replying to, use the speech bubble icon at the left of the toolbar on the post creation window. Otherwise, yup; you have a point...And why was his right arm amputated?
That looks more like his left arm...
-

Its a hidden setting suppressed from the UI for now.
-
So it wasn't available and it's being added to the UI then.

I'm hardly the biggest fan of moving TDWTF forum to Intercourse, but I thought this thread was supposed to be the one serious one we were maintaining so that at least we had some chance of addressing the many coding horrors (to borrow a name) that are here.
Even by TDWTF standards, videos of some numb-nuts throwing up is an impressively new level of original-topic-deviation...
-

I still can't add those last three letters to my username - what's the ETA for the length increase?
-

No idea, it only got put into git last night, but I suspect it'll be after the 3 day window.

protip: try the command-line browser, lynx/links
Nice :-)
Lovely how it adds a "Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled" to the bottom of each page then (tested in links). I'd almost argue that that's a lie.
-
@PJHH This is the thread you want to merge in here.
What makes you think this username can do anything...?

-
Is Thunderbird still a thing?
Yeah, and it's caught in the same version number incrementing* madness as Chrome, FF, etc.
* Chrome doesn't think incrementing is a real word, and suggested "fermenting" as a correction. Maybe it's right.

This forum has been promoted to the worst, everybody who's posted in it except the few people actually posting bugs have been promoted to the worst of the worst, and you know what? Fuck all of this.

After this post, blakey hung up his shoes on a wall and sat to ponder over the latest episode of "How I met your mother"...

I just discover an easter egg.

Bug: selected text cannot be dragged
Actual result: selection restarts
Solution: stop re-implementing text selection.Bug (related): mouse-up after selecting text follows a link if the mouse cursor happened to be over a link
Result: desired snippets with links at the start or end cannot be selected for quoting
-
Bug: I have meaningful work I need to be doing, but the new TDWTF forums are currently too entertaining and are distracting me!
Expectation: TDWTF slows back down to a couple dozen posts a day so I can get crap done.
-
The only workaround I know of is to put all of the categories into the "Watched" list in your preferences, though it doesn't seem to work perfectly, as a couple topics from last night didn't get tracked for me, and I've had Meta, Sidebar and General in the "Tracked" list since a few hours after I registered yesterday.
Who are you?
-
Someone who was perfectly fine just reading the old forums without making an account. Would've also been fine keeping it that way with Discourse, except you don't get the "continue where you left off" capability unless you're logged in, and that makes it much harder to want to keep up on a topic you're interested in.
Or, tl;dr just some nobody that wandered in.

@Lorne_Kates said:
fix whatever logic you use to determine "active"
I fixed that today, should be deployed soonish.

I see. So you have the benefit of knowing about me while I know nothing about you.

Yes. In the same way you know all about the women whose windows you peek through at night, but they don't know anything about you, based upon the fact that you aren't in prison yet.

Hey, if they don't want me breaking into their attics and drilling holes in their ceilings so I can watch them poop, they should..
uh..
Well, I guess there's not really anything they can do.

Sadly, I may have to take a break. I, too, have work I need to do. However, if I take a break, I will probably never be able to pass @morbiuswilters's post count, and @moderator and even @blakeyrat will surpass me. Alas, alack! What is a poor* TDWTFian to do?
* Let's not start that discussion again.

Ben, sometimes I wonder if you're a poorly-programmed spambot that's been trained to respond to certain keywords.

I thought there was a glass ceiling for women?

Bug: middle-clicking the username on a post does not open the user profile in a new tab.
Notes: Does not have to clash with the popup when left-clicking. You can have both. But try not to break middle-click as much as possible.
-
Related bug: middle-clicking the user icon in the top right does not open user profile in new page.
Notes: Left-clickin opens a menu, but as with previous bug, you don't need to give that up. Middle-click on things is a common use case, similar to the right-click-reflex, and #-links are JUST SO GODDAMN ANNOYYVHGFGcSDERDXDSxskd
