So what happens if I make a really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really long topic name, Ben?
-
Continuing the discussion from Discourse vs. Community Server:
It's because the logo is guaranteed to be short enough but the topic title could be long.
-
Isn't empirical evidence great?
-
-
How so?
-
I.. are you deliberately being difficult?
You said it makes sense for the username to disappear from the top bar because the title might be long. But the title isn't limited to one line, it will wrap. And the username doesn't extend into the area where the title is (at least mine doesn't, and it's a longer username..)
So it's just another pointless "feature" designed to make the UI as ADHD as possible. Herp derp?
-
Notice how the gap where the long title breaks into two lines is big enough to fit short usernames (and based on the number of restrictions of usernames I bet they all would work, but maybe not).
-
If the topic title didn't wrap there, the name might overlap the title. They can guarantee the size of the buttons on the right will be below a certain width, but the name can be arbitrarily long.
-

I don't think so; he's just incapable of not being difficult.Filed under: On the other hand, you can't help being easy.

I don't understand. Are you using some other Intercourse?
-
The title does not overlap the area where the name is.
-
The title wraps. So all they have to do is let the username area be as long as it needs to be (which shouldn't be very long because you probably can't have a super-long username) and then let the title wrap. This is like CSS 0.01 stuff, brah.

I don't get it. He's vociferously defending obviously-broken stuff, and for what reason? Is he an investor in Intercourse?
Look, I get if you prefer this to CS. There's no accounting for taste, but CS was broken, too. Still, why is he trying to argue that stupid things are not stupid?
-

I thought that CSS 0.01 only had the style attribute "color," with the values of true or false?

Operative word there being if. If the topic title didn't wrap there --
BUT IT FUCKING WELL DOES WRAP THERE.

Remember, you're talking about someone who plays Dwarf Fortress.

1) The title does not overlap the area where the name is
Mine does, because I entered a fairly long "real name," which is displayed instead of my username.

Your tags don't even point to your post or a random other one in the thread like they should. I demand fixes!

Don't forget FILE_NOT_FOUND.

@locallunatic Is that better now?

Mostly I just felt like poking fun at someone cause I was taking a break from an annoying bug.

Goddamnit, Discourse, at least in sane forum software this overly long title scrolls away off the screen so it doesn't permanently take up space, but noooOOOOOooooo space is not for users and content, apparently, it's for displaying position:fixed bars that don't do anything.
-
I'm sad that you didn't include a unicode RTL order mark.
-
-
I need to know who liked your post. Can I do that?
-
Click on the "1 person liked this post" and it will show you.
-
Most importantly, how do I set my account up to automatically share all my "liked" posts on Facebook and Twitter?
-
Oh derp. Somehow my brain thought it would like the post as well.
-
It's a little confusing, but the two things are apparently two separate links. Should probably have some kind of a separator for clarity:
-
But there's already a like button.
-
Would it be more clear if "like it too" wasn't there - so you'd click "X liked this" to see who liked it, and then traverse on up 150px to click the like button?
-

I think so, yeah. I figured it out, but it did initially give me pause.
-
I really don't need Discourse to suggest "Like it too" just because someone else liked it. I am not a sheeple. I am quite capable of figuring out whether I like something, regardless of whether anyone else likes it.

Check your privilege, dude. Some people need a little nudge.

"Sheeple" is hate speech used by the cis-specied. Henceforth HardwareGeek should refer to them as the "trans-wooled".

Or it refers to farmers of mutton.

What happens if I necro a really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really old topic at the whim of suggested topics @presidentsdaughter?
-
We're experimenting with making the fixed bar at the top have at maximum one line. That is deployed here now. And a slightly smaller font (1.6 em vs 1.8 em) , coming soon.
-
It's not showing the full ellipsis for me. This might have something to do with the width being set in a parent element of the one that has the text-overflow property.
-
Full ellipsis is for closers.

Why waste 3 perfect good points when 1,5 are all you need. It's already 50% more then then your regular dot. Users should just be happy with the kind of improvement they are getting for free. A 50% increase no less! Management pants are dropping all over the place with that kind of numbers! Let's have a party to celebrate the gained improvement! Let's go all-out and use up the savings we just made: ..
Oeps, looks like we just went over budget. Shareholders complaining, better lay off some staff to compensate.
-
But we've been told that this is for free, so we can't lay people off?

Well, there's the next year's budget down the drain

It is improved! It used to be 1 and 1/2 dot but now has been increased to 2 and 1/2. A staggering increase in dot space has been observed.

I'm still on ellipsis 2.0
How to I get upgraded to v2.5?

Reduce the width of your browser, but not too much.
