Praise for Discourse

:shipit:

Well, it was squirrelled away deep inside the user options. All it needed was a door marked Beware of the Leopard.
You mean at the top of every page in flat view:
Very deeply squirrelled....

You mean at the top of every page in flat view:
What, read the boilerplate???? Surely you jest…

I have to admit, now that I have been using Discourse for a little while (mostly to read others bitch about it), there are some features that are growing on me. Even the infinite scrolling is something which I've grown to appreciate while reading a discussion thread. Being able to "like" a post is something which also gets a thumbs up from me.
There are still lots of things that I don't really like: I still can't get used to the "topic progress indicator" in the bottom right, I do think some form of pagination combined with infiniscroll would work out. Tearing down of posts that are out of view, the wacky scrollbar, the hijacking of keyboard commands and the bland styling are still rather painful to work with.
Yet overall, I do somewhat like Discourse.

bland styling
Hey, I like that! It beats the nausea-fests in so many other discussion systems. (You know, the ones where blasting cornify() through the whole lot a few times would both calm it down and make it more readable.)

Oh for… I return after two weeks to find out I missed the switch to Discourse? Because indeed I, for one, welcome our new Discourse overlords. Seriously. Totally called it, BTW (Can't find where I did, at the moment… I must have put it in a Community Server tag…)
I don't mind the infinite scroll myself (infinite canvas FTW!), as for the rest I need to see more before I start
complainingconstructively complaining.

I saw this thread and "Discourse and our reaction to it" next to each other and misread it as "Praise for Discourse and our reaction to it"
-
misread it as "Praise for Discourse and our reaction to it"
See, and I keep misreading it as "Pray for Discourse".
Perhaps we need additional whitespace between topics.

Bug: Cannot scroll infinitely in the negative on the x and y axes.
Expected behaviour: Infiniscroll in all directions.
UAT: Failed.
Some time ago, in the old forums, I proposed replacing Community Server with Your World Of Text.

Some praise for Discourse: I do enjoy being able to upload images with a single Ctrl+V.
Don't get me wrong though, the site layout is still ugly. But you get used to it.
-
But you get used to it.
One may eventually get used to many things, like being in prison with Bubba, or being a quadriplegic.
-
like being in prison with Bubba,
Being in prison with Bubba is a barrier to reading.
-
I think you have a lot more time for reading in prison. And a sore butt. Thanks Bubba!

is this from your own personal experience or borrowed from some book written by some writer who's experience is also second-hand to begin with?

I don't know, did @codinghorror ever write about this on his blog?

I am big follower of this blog, but not seen this yet. Maybe he has another blog, that I am not knowing about.
