Closed Poll: Do you have Discourse Syndrome
-
Or it doesn't get our through testing treatment until it reaches beta ...
Like @PJH did on his personal test forum where the above spinner comes from.

Enjoy your
Also, I originally read what you wrote as "HTML, HAND", which struck me as somewhat funny.

Had you not come across that before?
-
Neither had I. It seemed somehow apposite, though.
-
A bit of thought reminds me that HTH is Hope That Helps, but I can never remember HAND no matter how many times I look it up in Urban Dictionary

.... the entry in UD confuses me immensely on that one....
i ususally choose to just smile and nod when i run into that one.

Entry number 3

Entry number 3
.... oh.
after the contents of the first two entries i didn't bother scrolling down further expecting more of the same...
that makes more sense.
/me smiles and nods

I was in a play once as a child where one character's entire purpose was to come in and tell people "Have a nice day!" from time to time. His name in the script was "HAND guy". I lol'd.
-
Since you usually see HTH in close proximity to HAND, I find it easiest to just remember the whole thing as a unit.
-
Speaking of Discourse syndrome... I take a couple of months out to get my life a bit more sorted out and stabilised... come back and find Discourse is - shockingly - not as fragile as before. At least it is now, I can see it wasn't a few weeks back.
Wish I would disappear from a lot of things for a couple of months. I was gone for less than 4 weeks.

They should just give up and allow class="fa-spin" on anything.

I would love to have the ability to control the rate of spin. How are we to build a proper orrery without control over that?

The Kerbal Spin Program thread is that way.
-
So, is this a legit bug, or did no one actually vote?
-
It's a poll that was converted from the old poll style, back when polls had to be in the OP and the topic had to start with "Poll: ". Apparently the conversion threw out all the votes.
I can't claim to be surprised.
-

In the grand scheme of things fucked up with Discourse, this doesn't even make my top 100.

-
You bother having a list?
More of a heap or dung pile or garbage mound, but Discourse likes numbering things for S&Gs…
-
Oh, cool, thanks Dicksauce.
Another topic I'd read most of based on the lack of blue dots but which stopped being tracked at some point before January.

@abarker said in Closed Poll: Do you have Discourse Syndrome:
All joking aside, it's actually pretty good. Bugs are getting fixed, and you'll forget all about stupid pagination once they implement topic timeline / scrollbar replacement. Which is, IMO, all that is needed for infiniscroll to start paying back the investment.
PhpBB and other traditional forums might be less buggy and more feature rich ATM, but they will never become more than the blind alleys they are. Discourse at least has a chance.
If nothing else, it did nudge me out of lurekerdome, so you got that going for you, which is nice.
Oh my, a full blown case of Discourse Syndrome.
Oh, we have a better case now. :P

@end said in Closed Poll: Do you have Discourse Syndrome:
you can definitely work with it.
Indeed you can. Or you can rotate the device.
Yep, that 180° turn sure looks better.

@faoileag said in Closed Poll: Do you have Discourse Syndrome:
Do you really think we might pull it off? I mean, The Official "Likes" Thread only has 1299 right now...
We're currently at 67136 posts now in that thread, which is 51.682832948421862971516551193226 times more than there were then. (Admittedly, some number of them have been added since moving off of Discourse.)

@CreatedToDislikeThis said in Closed Poll: Do you have Discourse Syndrome:
My history is now filled with junk because of Discourse.
It got so bad that I created an account just to note that.@abarker said in Closed Poll: Do you have Discourse Syndrome:
There's a user option in your profile to minimize that issue.
@CreatedToDislikeThis said in Closed Poll: Do you have Discourse Syndrome:
Oh, that's nice, actually.
I guess I'll keep this account for browsing the forums, then.@ben_lubar said in Closed Poll: Do you have Discourse Syndrome:
And here we have @created_just_to_disl ike_this using the account they created to disl ike_this to l ike_this.
@Arantor said in Closed Poll: Do you have Discourse Syndrome:
Surely, if CamelCase had been used, there would have been sufficient characters?
@ben_lubar said in Closed Poll: Do you have Discourse Syndrome:
Let's see... three underscores... replace that with seven letters...
Maybe?
@Arantor said in Closed Poll: Do you have Discourse Syndrome:
I was going for replacing the three underscores with the remaining letters of 'dislike' and assuming the context was otherwise carried through the username ;)
Was that his original username? And he changed it? Was that a Discourse thing? Is that allowed on NodeBB? Is it a good thing to have?
it is interesting to know how names were chosen. I think we have a thread for that already, don't we?

@djls45 said in Closed Poll: Do you have Discourse Syndrome:

It is allowed on NodeBB, however we have it disabled in the settings. Admins can still change them, however, and it's happened a handful of times that people have requested and received a change.

@faoileag said in Closed Poll: Do you have Discourse Syndrome:
Let's do it
Effort already under way with head start of 1313 posts.@sam: how long until we will see 6666 of 6666?
Looks like about three and a half weeks:
26 Jun 2014 --> 22 Jul 2014

@Nagesh said in Closed Poll: Do you have Discourse Syndrome:
Reading is a barrier to reading, deal with it.
Reading is a place in England. Deal with that!
Also Pennsylvania. And maybe some other places, too.

@Onyx said in Closed Poll: Do you have Discourse Syndrome:
I love it how, at least with current avatars, they look at each other. Pretty vicious looks too.
Also, FTFY
It would have been better to have taken a screenshot so others could see what you were talking about in case the avatars changed. As it is now, it just looks like this:
-
@djls45 I like that he liked my post, too. :P

Why revive this topic though? A sudden attack of nostalgia?
-
@djls45 Why are you talking to a dead user?
-
@Tsaukpaetra Oh, did @the_dragon finally eat him?

A little less than four years ago, apparently.
