Nice things in nodeBB

First attempt to login and internal server error. Hell yeah!
That's nothing. Search causes internal errors pretty much every other attempt.

I also like how the top of the page urges you to register or log in after you logged in.

NodeBB - improving your typing skills since 2016.
NodeBB probably doesn't flag you as a spammer either for typing too fast.

But, with the number of bugs I have seen so far...
I would say that it's important to remember that this is a product that just went to 1.0, and that before we really got our hands on it.
People! Please remember to report stuff in NodeBB's github issue tracker. Also, it's fairly easy to get up and running and hacking on code with NodeBB locally.

And implement something completely broken that just gets merged into core without getting tested by their team?
Great!

Users
You can see the full list of users. You can sort by post count or reputation. You can see who's currently online. You can search for a user. Much, much better. And it works without crashing the software too.
The "Banned" page was empty, which seemed a little bit sad.

Seems it just doesn't "see" some of the threads, no matter how specific you make the query. Could be a migration artifact, or maybe something to do with title renames.
All of the title edits in Discourse stayed in the data for the post. The format was insane, but I suspect it made stuff easy to find based on old names, since they probably just threw it into the text search indexer. I suspect title history got lost crossing the import barrier.

Said absolutely nobody on meta.d ever.

I don't know about that. My contribution works. YMMV. And actually, my first attempt got rejected because it only covered infinite scroll and not pagination, too.

Disabling scroll_to_my_post completely breaks updating of the GUI - when a new post gets posted in a thread, you don't see it. Hell, if you're at the bottom of the topic and write a post, you don't see it nor get a message of success - it just looks like posting your post failed silently.
That's fucking broken.

Ah, so maybe @julianlam's fix wasn't so good. Welp...something else to work on this week! BTW, have you posted an issue about that on github?

When I consider the level of stuff I see on these forums, I wonder what someone actually did to get banned. Or am I missing an inside joke?
-
@chozang It's @codinghorror. He and @Sam banned themselves back on Discourse.

I'll do that the instant they pay me $$$.
How about: don't donate your time and labor to open source shit, people. Oh good. You get to plop your name down on the release notes of an unusable piece of crap. Just what every professional software developer wants.

Yes, we all know that you'd rather stew in your asshole juices than make an effort to improve anything. It's why we love you so much.

I don't care what I get out of it. It's using my skills to help someone else out. Because that's a nice thing to do.
Not that you'd care about that or anything...

@sloosecannon said:

blakey either doesn't understand or doesn't care (or both) that we donate our time and labour to open source because while we have to use the system, we have an interest in making it better and we're actually donating our time and labour to make things better for ourselves.

It doesn't jelly potato when switching from portrait to landscape on mobile.
Filed under: it jellypotatos misteriously when reading topics, though.
-
When it jellypotatos and throws me to the top of the page, I can simply refresh the topic and I'll get the toaster, to go to back to my last reading position. That's quite nice.
-
Whehen clicking on a notification about a reply, it doesn't mindlessly scroll down to that post losing your last reading position. You get a toaster and thus: a choice.
This is one hell of an improvement. I don't have to open those URLs in private mode anymore.

I don't remember this happening on Discourse either, but maybe that's because I never used the "Tracking" option.

Because in certain people's reality, closed source is perfect and godlike, with no bugs whatsoever; any 'bugs' are purely imagined by the user, because it's unpossibull for closed source software to have even the slightest fault

@FrostCat Can we change his ban message to "No longer welcome here"?

@JazzyJosh said:

Beats me, I'm not any kind of mod/admin.
-
@JazzyJosh said:

Was he ever welcome here? (I get the meta.d joke BTW)
-
@Sentenryu He was until he started interfering with the day-to-day running of the forum, hence the term 'Jeffing' meaning 'to move one or more posts'
-
@RaceProUK When I got to the forums, he was already persona non grata, so I missed all that
did he really start moving other peoples posts here?
(also, autocomplete works and doesn't slow to a crawl, awesome.)
-
The best thing about NodeBB is that the devs actually give a shit if it works.
To be fair, Jeff did care, he just had a very different idea of what 'works' means; assumed that the majority of bug reports were whining rather than actual bugs; put his vision of 'civilized discourse' over all other considerations; and just generally treated the users with a high-handed contempt that was anything but civil.
-
@Sentenryu Yep; pretty much from day one I believe
-
@RaceProUK I guess his reputation is deserved then.
-
Jeff totally misunderstood this group. That's not hard to do, even people who understand forums can easily misunderstand this group, but Jeff is (almost) uniquely handicapped in that respect as he doesn't understand forums at all. Or, it would seem, any sort of interpersonal interaction. In short, Jeff understands group dynamics like Ballmer understands developers.
He was made an admin from the start (which was, AIUI but I may well be wrong, on his own demand), and that let him move posts around, modify stuff, and generally act like a forum god. Which, given he had no history with the group, did not go down well. For example:

I went with "I really don't like. Let's go back to CS..." I would upgrade that rating to "I don't care either way" if @codinghorror stopped posting completely and had his mod privs revoked.
He does nothing except add fuel to the fire.His statement about being "creator of the platform" is typically pointless. The creator of CS, as far as I can recall wasn't a member of TDWTF and sure as hell wasn't a mod. I wouldn't let the creator of phpbb be a member of my forum.
I didn't have a lot of time for @sam at the start, but I've come round to him, in the same way that he has come round to a lot of us. I do think there is benefit to Sam being here, but Jeff is just destructive.
Right now, he is the worst part of TDWTF on Discourse for me.
-
@Sentenryu Jeff Atwood is pretty much the physical embodiment of one of Perdition's paving stones. His good intentions took him straight off the deep end into fanaticism.
