  @coldandtired said in Nice things in nodeBB: Could XenForo be skinned to look like D&C and have plugins add the Infiniscroll and whatever else is part of 's vision? I think that's probably what the Flarum guys are trying to do. Flarum Flarum is the next-generation forum software that makes online discussion fun. It's simple, fast, and free. Not sure where they are now but when we were looking at them their software was promising but very immature.

  Monahan told Ars by phone that Casper commissioned this report so it would "know what the future of sleep is." Of course, he conceded, that's "inherently hard to answer because sleep hasn’t changed all that much over the past couple thousand years." Wouldn't that make it inherently easy to answer? "Uh, yeah, I guess pretty much like it has been for the last few millennia, probably." But that's harder to market, I guess...

  @Lorne-Kates said in <3 +1 would post again: An input text for the name. An input upload for the file. A submit button. A rudimentary sanity check for formatting and file okay-ness. Resize file and save in public location. INSERT INTO customemojis (name, filename). Emojis are 100% plugin. The plugin doesn't do that. I've looked a little bit at the emoji plugin and it doesn't make much sense to me. I have no idea how difficult it would be to allow uploaded emojis from the admin interface. Technically, there are at least two plugins. One is the "main" emoji plugin and then we have the emoji one plugin, which the main emoji plugin uses. That's apparently how it handles different emoji sets.

  @Buddy The usual thing for support threads is that there's a bunch of people asking how to fix it then the original person comes on and says that they've got it sorted now and that nobody need reply any more. Or they post a link to a (now) dead website saying that the instructions there helped them. Or that bans everyone who participates.

  @GOG Oh, it's the same way here, too, but like I said, the requirement is to get it to employees well before they're due to file income tax report, because theoretically you need this form to file your taxes properly. (IIRC the penalty for not having insurance in 2015 is $695 or 2% of your income, whichever is larger.) This particular form has to go both to the government and to employees, but there's two different deadlines. The government deadline isn't here yet.

  @RaceProUK said in Why I barely post in threads: NodeBB Edition: @JBert said in Why I barely post in threads: NodeBB Edition: last page I think that might be the key difference ;) Yes, I know NodeBB does paging. Which is optional. Even in infiniscroll, it seems to keep track of last read post separate from the unread counter. If you read part of the topic, it disappears from unread, but if it gains a new post, the link in unread points you to more or less where you left off, not to the new post after you last had the topic open.

  If you're trying to find a thread using search and are just about to cut your wrists, DON'T. Do this. Select sort by "Last reply time" Show results as Topics Save preferences Also you can switch to "in Titles only" mode, but only when you're already in the advanced search mode. There doesn't seem to be a global setting to make that the default. There. Now you can cut your wrists.

  @dkf said: A more important thing would seem to be to actually go to the first unread post, as opposed to some random other place that appears to be the first post not read by anyone at all. I think that's the "read tracking" messing up. It seems like it want the top of the post you "read" to be in the middle, or above, of the screen. If you pay attention to the newlevator in the header, sometimes (when the last reply or two are short) you can't reach the last post. @Maciejasjmj said: The "go to last unread" toaster has to get the info about the last post from somewhere, so it shouldn't be that difficult to just do the same request it does and emulate the click. I think that's the best we could do for now, yeah. I buttume that that bit of information is transmitted in a separate block of data you get after the thread has loaded, possibly as some user-related data instead of thread data. How the hell did we manage to go directly from "software sends too much JSON" to "software doesn't send enough JSON"?
