@jbert PaleMoon loves doing weird stuff like that that no other browser does. One of the number of reasons I decided not to switch to it.
FTR, E_NO_REPRO on Vivaldi 1.14.

@hungrier said in Discussion of NodeBB Updates:
Actual new update: Did the red boob change to a speech bubble or has it been that way for a long time and I didn't notice?
I think that was in the 1.8.1 update.
WHY? The only reason to change the red boob was because the red boob was a STUPID ICON THAT MADE NO SENSE and DIDN'T GIVE ANY CONTEXT AS TO WHAT IT DID.
So they changed it to a chat icon, which, you guessed it, is a STUPID ICON THAT MAKES NO SENSE and DOESN'T GIVE ANY CONTEXT AS TO WHAT IT DOES.
Clicking that will open my my PMs, right? No, it'll open up my chat windows? No? It'll open up a LiveChat session with a helpful representative? No.
Because that's what a chat icon in the bottom corner of the screen has meant since, like, 2002, when LiveChat first became.

@lorne-kates right now it is
Maybe it should be ? Or maybe ? Which icon would you prefer (including ones not listed here)?
-
@Lorne-Kates would prefer it if the icon were Goatse. Feel free to set that specifically for him and leave the rest of us with the current icon.

The purpose of the button is to show/hide the composer.
Pretty much every single 'show/hide' iconography is or
Obv. should switch on min/max to indicate the button.
Add hover text to the boob also so it actually says what it does. "Hide Compose (message will be saved)", and "Show Composer (continue message)" something like that.
Also, I still don't understand why it's a circle at the bottom right of the screen (where a chat request would go), and not docked to the upper-right of the composer (above the discard/submit buttons?!?), like all other expand/contract widgets go.

IIRC it was because in-progress posts are considered sub windows and are put in the "taskbar" alongside chats.

Where oh where did our changelogs go?
Where oh where can they be?
Because a list of what's changed is a lot more useful than a single number not hyperlinked to anything,
So bring back the changelogs to me!

Ooooo! I just noticed. If you start a blockquote section (

s to make it all automatically blockquoted!I actually added that one after Trello surprised me by doing it. It also works for lists!
Now what's funny is I can't make Trello do it anymore no matter how much I try
Anyway it's one of those little things that makes a big difference. I love doing those.
Insert quote about surprising and delighting users.

Alternately, if you quote someone and don't leave a blank line between the quote and your response, it all goes into the blockquote like they said it.It's been like that for a while.

@pitaj personally I think it should be at the top of the composer when it's open, because it's functionally identical to a minimize button. For bonus points put it in the composer's title bar in the mobile layout also.
Either / or some set of arrows like / would make the most sense to me.

It's for front page authors. If we had a front page, that is.

-
@ben_lubar yes? I don't see the post history button in the post overflow menu
-
@julianlam After refreshing, neither do I.
-
@boomzilla Yeah, it seems to have been fixed. What hasn't is the ability to see the post history of anyone's post.
-
@pie_flavor Users can have a setting to allow others to see their history. I think that by default only that user and mods can see it.
Mine is set to allow anyone to see.
-
@boomzilla I misunderstood the window. It's still a that it pops up at all when the permission is denied - if the button is unclickable why does it respond to being clicked?
-
@pie_flavor Yeah, there's definitely something wrong there:
Also that thing prevents me from clicking on the close link / thingy at the bottom but doesn't put up a shader or anything so it leads to rage.
-
I don't tie any events to the edit icon, so that's likely something from the plugin @ben_lubar uses here... although the modal does look like mine. Potentially there may be a conflict here and it's calling something from my code?
-
@julianlam do it is all @ben_lubar's fault? I can believe that.
-
@julianlam Yes, looking at the DOM hierarchy, they are siblings so it so I suspect the "disable post history" ACP setting only kind of disables it.
