Closed: WTF is this button/icon and why does it not have a tooltip explaining wtf it is?
-
-
They're markers for topics that have ever-changing titles. And the green one is specific to t/1000.
-
That icon doesn't portray that at all.
-
Correct.
-
That icon doesn't portray that at all.
the icon is fa-random.....
and yes. but then it does do it's job of marking the threads as special and to be avoided (since most or all of them are excluded from 2n badges

I almost put the word special back in, but the icon doesn't even portray special. The only thing I can assume that icon stands for is the post order in the topic being altered or that multiple topics link or merge to different places in this one.
And why are they different colors? If we're going with multiple topic title changes it makes sense, but in any other case it doesn't. Plus it doesn't display in the thread title inside the post at all.

The movie cryptogram thread was actually marked with it purely because it got excluded from badges (not just 2n, but also % poster and most other post-related badges.
-
The icon also doesn't portray as not eligible for badges.
hmm.... can't argue there.
of course if changing the titles in those certain long running topics wasn't such a game among several (most?) of the Regulars (Trust Level 3) here those topics would be unecessary.
if they annoy you you could ask @pjh to fix them, or switch to discourse default CSS (it's in the menu under your avatar)
-
It doesn't actually bother me enough to change the CSS now, but a tooltip or a different icon would be nice. NBD now though.
-
I think the assumption is that the people who want to avoid those threads know what it means.

true, but i bet @pjh could add a title attribute so we cna see what's up with them....
-
It's done with CSS IIRC, can you add those with CSS?

if you can add a <div> i don't see why not. ;-)
-

Not with CSS. You can make the :before and :after act similarly to a <div>, but you can't make a <div> in those. So, no, he can't add a title attribute with CSS.

@RaceProUK said:And the green one is specific to t/1000.
<aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg
-
Yeah, scrolled up to see that, but I think the point still stands that the color doesn't actually distinguish it when there's only two on the screen.
-
We can also inject javascript, so we can do pretty much anything.
-

JS. And I can add a title. Probably the original purpose of the thread is best.. I'll do that now.Getting them mixed up with the menu - they are CSS - sorry.
when there's only two on the screen.
There's actually 4 of them floating around...
-
How's this?
Probably means I can revert Likes back to the same color and simplify the CSS...
-
Almost right... I think you missed the fallback font-family:
Not sure if it would help with the excessive size, depends on what that font you used is I guess.
Edit: Ah, must be Arial here, no Helvetica installed.
-
Isn't the fallback used if the main isn't there? This is the CSS as it stands at the moment:
/* Highlight topics that change regularly in topic list http://what.thedailywtf.com/t/the-official-coffee-party-topic-bawston-style/1000/32759 */ tr[data-topic-id="1000"], /* Likes */ tr[data-topic-id="1673"], /* Status */ tr[data-topic-id="6979"], /* Movie topic */ tr[data-topic-id="4285"] /* First World Problems */ { .main-link > .title:before { padding: .2em .2em .2em .4em; margin-right: .5em; border-radius: 10px; font-family: "FontAwesome"; } } tr[data-topic-id="1000"] /* Likes */ { .main-link > .title:before { background-color:#66FF99 !important; content: "Likes \f074 "; } } tr[data-topic-id="1673"], /* Status */ { .main-link > .title:before { background-color:#CADCE6 !important; content: "Status \f074 "; } } tr[data-topic-id="6979"], /* Movie topic */ { .main-link > .title:before { background-color:#CADCE6 !important; content: "Movie \f074 "; } } tr[data-topic-id="4285"] /* First World Problems */ { .main-link > .title:before { background-color:#CADCE6 !important; content: "FWP \f074 "; } }
-
Yeah, it is, should've checked with inspector first... no idea why Helvetica is that much smaller though.
-
font-size: 75%;
-
Looks fine here.
Can't check mobile atm, broke my screen (or is this desktop-specific CSS file?).
-
Not done mobile yet - working on
TDWTF default
: desktop first.Will move to mobile+widescreen/both once sorted.

Pretty nice. Though really, this would be nice as a post tagging feature in Disco, but I doubt that ever happens because there are already categories.

Tags are a barrier to something or other, according to @wood. And really, who uses tags anyway?

post tagging
Topic-tagging doesn't appear on the main index (yet?) and I'm not holding my breath for post-tagging.
Or for topic-tagging any time soon.
Anyway @jazzyjosh - if it was like that to start with, would that have been enough?
-
-
Have you ever been to the old forums?
Yes. That's where I learned to check the "Filed under" section for jokes. Even lame ones.
-
So it was a rhetorical question?
-
So it was a rhetorical question?
Given that I used the "Filed under" (which used tags) to mention two social networks that use tags, I'd sooner classify it as a "wooosh".
-
Urhk... fine. Poe's law is a bitch.

Yeah. Not quite sure why I seemed as ticked as I was. Probably just an effect of SSO being down for SIT again today.
They do realize how much that costs them in terms of salary and benefits each day right?
-
Yeah. Not quite sure why I seemed as ticked as I was. Probably just an effect of SSO being down for SIT again today.
Or possibly the not-unreasonable assumption that the DiscoDevs had been screwing around again...
-
Yeah, that was definitely one of the reasons too.

Tags are doing it wrong, especially when Discourse has such a brilliant search function.
