:crazy: if only there was a better way to :doing_it_wrong: than by putting an emoticon in the title

On the other hand, the new category select widget for mobile is among the worst ever.
-
They can't delete categories with topics. I don't like creating things I can't delete.
-
-
Why don't you kill the dead categories?
-
What dead categories? There's only one, and it's only still there because that's where /t/1000 is currently living.
-
There are several general discussion categories
-
There's
General
- the live one - andGeneral Discussion
- the last remaining CS imported category which is where /t/1000 is.Am I being blind as to where the others are? (
General Help
doesn't count - that was created so that theSolved
buttons could be used.)
-
My memory is playing tricks on me. I thought I saw more than one general discussion some months ago
-
I removed the duplicate categories that were created as part of the aborted CS import (after removing the posts therein) - perhaps it was those you were remembering?
-
I don't know, probably yes if it was in the last 2 months
-
They were removed in the past week - was shortly after my first attempt at migration to NodeBB.

That's an emoji, not an emoticon. Close, but no cigar.

Hence me calling them "emojicons" - it covers emoticons, emoji, and whatever custom crap we added to the set. Because, frankly, I don't give a toss which is which at this point.

Shouldn't have created an account on here then.

🔥 this is an emoji, that's an emoticon

Want to tell that to Apple who only implemented them as images initially before they were added to Unicode?
The original emoji, well, I don't think there's any sensible way of displaying those in a browser. Well, other than taking a picture of an old Japanese mobile phone on a wooden table...
-
No, I want to tell it to Jeff, who implemented them as images long after they were added to unicode.
-
Eh, I kinda get it though, you still have to install additional fonts for them to work on most platforms, AFAIK.
-
Also can't delete title edits, and my post history is visible. Sucker.
-
Edits will be lost when we leave discourse
-
Sure, but what about the next ten years of web 🕸? Why should we be stuck with the racist old emoticons just because someone isn't capable of doing it right.

Hey 🙋🏽 @ben_lubar 🌑, think you could manage to work 🏢 a bug 🐛 into your importer that ‘accidentally’ imports deleted posts 📮?
-
I really don't want to try to understand Discourse's post revisions system.
-
I said “imports deleted posts”, ben. Focus.
-
It would just say "(post will be deleted in 24 hours)" or whatever.

It's simple. You have a stream of a pair of serialized YAML documents, each representing the before and after states of each post. Stored as a string in the database.
I'd say that merits the description "piles of ".

You know I was thinking of writing a web service but I don't like databases so I was going to have everything in xml files. Instead of a file system I would have everything in git and every edit would be a commit. I could then push these every hour and then have cron jobs on other machines pull so I would have back ups everywhere and could use these fail overs when something falls over.I'd say that merits the description "piles of ".
I haven't thought it all out yet but it appears to be a really good idea.

Replace XML with markdown and you have:
-
Fuck me! I was actually trying to be thick.
-
It works well enough for a wiki though...
-
But discourse has wikis!
(so it does...)
MOD ABUSE!
But people said I shouldn't be able to edit someone else's post!
