Search?
-
Typing any search term in the search box redirects me to https://www.google.com/search?q=site:https%3A%2F%2Fwhat.thedailywtf.com+ (i.e., search term has disappeared).
I've heard a lot of (bad) things about search so I guess this is not really new, but I tried to search for them and, well, you can see where that's going...
-
Repro. It's just searching for
site:what.thedailywtf.com
-
@Jaloopa i can also repro.... what did @ben_lubar do this time? Was he mad at me for springing more CSS changes for Pinky Promise Mafia on him unannounced?
-
@Jaloopa Heh, that's progress comparing to yesterday, I couldn't even get it to search when pressing enter. Didn't report it because I thought it already was for some reason...
-
I thought it already was for some reason...
I reported it, but in private since I found it during a period when I wasn't in a mood to interact with people. Ben said he was pushing a fix for it during that downtime yesterday, which apparently led to this bug.
Test your shit, Nod devs

If they did, we wouldn't be using a hacky work-around for search in the first place...

Looks like he's up to his old tricks again. You know, the fact that he's being a disruptive pain in the ass is more than enough reason to ban him. Just saying.

true, true, but if that were the case a full half of the top posters here would have been banned ages ago, we all went through phases like that.
we did all go through phases like that, right?
please tell me we all went through phases like that!
i have to believe that!~

Sure, but it seems to be Standard Operating Procedure for him.
-
@antiquarian Also, if the rest of us were flagging every post we disagreed with, I haven't heard anything about it.
-

Don't stop believing!
Hold on to that feelaiang!

To be fair, he's flagging every post that contains an insult or bait. But your point still stands; it's a goddamn flame war thread, everyone's throwing around insults and bait.
ETA: Please don't prove it by flagging more posts.

But he calls someone a dumbass in at least half of his posts, so he doesn't exactly have clean paws there.
-
@antiquarian Like I said, everyone's throwing around insults. If everyone flagged all the insults my real notifications would be entirely drowned out.

I'm glad I don't have your job.
-
Is this the point where I'm supposed to go full RatMan and yell at you for doing shit in my thread and not creating a new one?
I feel like adding a few insults in here would fit great with the trend of the thread...
Seriously tho, I don't know how much time you spend with the moderation and the temper-tantrums that everyone throws around here, but I certainly don't envy you!

Would it be possible to remove the ability to flag posts in intentionally -y threads? (half- , half-serious)
@remi Sorry for continuing the derailing of your thread.

You're supposed to press Enter on the keyboard, not click on the icon!
Silly @remi.
(Yeah, clicking the icon appears to do what you described. Pretty sure I've noticed this in the past? Might not be a new bug.)
-
@djls45 I'm just trying to fit in...
I don't care about threads derailing, I've spent years on Usenet!
-
@anotherusername said in Search?:

Nope, when I created the bug report Enter didn't work (actually, that's the only thing I tried, I'm conditioned to type Enter after typing a search term, 'cause I don't know any software that passes release 0.0.1 where that doesn't work...).
But it's fixed now (thanks!), so who cares?
-
@anotherusername actually, I think the icon was originally supposed to just be a link to the advanced search page, which took forever to load because it was searching for an empty string then too. So the new behavior is the same as the old behavior; all that's changed is the link it's using for the search page.
-
someone seems to be flagger happy
-

Yeah, but most of us seem to have grown out of it or something.

+1 on this. The Trolleybus Garbage category is clearly marked as intended.
Alternate: You get X flags. Once you've used X, you can't flag anymore. If a mod agrees with a flag, you get 1 flag back. Too many false flags (pun pun pun) and you can't flag anymore.
Also, given the thread, I'm trying to resit making a "flaming flag" joke.

@Lorne-Kates Also why has this been an outstanding issue for months...

That's like gamification.

which is not inherently a bad thing.

Toby Fair, I only downvote 25% of everything he posts in the one thread. Completely different.

@Lorne-Kates downvoting in the trolleybus garage is like entering a PvP area in a MMORPG anc complaining people are shooting at you

OMG my stepbrother does this all the time! FFS dude, the of the game is fighting! If you're not expecting that, why are you here??!?!

Because blizzard likes gating mandatory-for-everyone PvE content behind dipping your toe in PvP?

Indeed it is. I wish there were less games where the was fighting though...

I was going to reply to the topic where we were talking about re-enabling the search box, but the searching for "search" just returned a bunch of old threads instead of newest first.
So REPLY HERE NECRO LOL.
Anyways, search is working y'all
oops.

I know. If we were, we'd probably be using a sane forum, which could gracefully handle unexpected input... like "%".

No. Downvote is shorthand for "I think you're a cunt, and so does my friend".

Actually, isn't that what Discourse had?
