Vote of No Confidence
-
-
Oddly, I wasn't intending a reference
Now I want to propose a Vote of Cadence; no idea why
-
Oddly, I wasn't intending a reference
I was, but I decided against an image.
This time.
-
I propose a vote of confidence value 0.05
-
How about a vote of incontinence next time the forum shits itself?
-
-
-
that's one of the ones i thougth it could be, but i had others in mind too.
-
@RaceProUK got it. At least the one I intended to reference.
-
*swish*
Nothin' but net
-
The great furniture collecting adventure starring Juste Belmont.
I like that game quite a bit.
-
No confidence. Seriously, being TL4 opens up another layer cake of stupid.
-
Now I want TL4 just so I can see it all. So I never, ever consider doing it myself.
Hey, that's a way to learn, isn't it?
I wonder if I can get TL4 on some of the testing forums floating around... hmmm...
-

@accalia made me an admin on @riking's test forum, so there's always there ;)

Stupid stuff like this makes me want to give Dicsourse a vote of "No Confidence" again:
DUCKWHORES!!!
On profile page:
In topic, after Ctrl+R:
Yes Duckhorse, I want to revive this topic.

But, but your reply will bump the topic to the top of its list and notify anyone previously involved in the conversation. Oh noes!

BWAHAHAHA!

Just because I don't have confidence in Dicsourse doesn't mean I'm not having fun on our forum.
-
I still have no confidence in Discourse. Experiencing server cooties, a server 500, miscellaneous bugs... in one evening after weeks of being a minor visitor.
-
I still have no confidence in Discourse.
I've still got more confidence in it than in Community Server, and the grounds are the same as they always were: it's got an active set of developers and they do actually fix things from time to time. (And regress things too.) CS was badly broken, and there was no hope at all of that changing; mods just beat down the worst of the problems from time to time…

Well, I for one, think this thread needs a bump, given the events of Roundavatargate.
I've been reasonably neutral on this up until now, but I'm starting to understand the sentiment behind statements like "the discodevs are a bunch of clowns who couldn't find their own asses with their own hands".
Hire. Some. QA. Please.
-
QA? QA can't help with poor management decisions. There was a shitty idea and they implemented it correctly. As opposed to the usual state of tried-and-true ideas that they implement in a shitty way.
-
I think reaction would've been way different if - instead of waking up one morning and all the avatars are round - there would be some sort of upgrade path.
(E.g. an option that's disabled by default for existing forums, or even one disabled for all forums until there's been some consensus that the round avatars are good in practice).
-

I endorse this message. If management's not open to focus testing or user acceptance testing, QA can't do much.
-
I'm not really sure that it makes much difference either way. All I know is that an attempt to fix the email brought a cascade of unrelated changes.
If they want to change the default look & feel of their product, that's fine, but at least give people a heads up so they can opt out of it before it sails straight into production?
Who even knows what the hell else they broke yesterday?
-
Exactly, it's not the kind of change that you just make arbitrarily without any kind of notice to downstream.
It's the moral equivalent of taking a turd in people's drinking water and then getting all defensive and passive-aggressive when people are understandably pissed off about it.
-
I'm just going to throw this out there, if they would actually show any inclination whatsoever to fix the fucking quoting already, then maybe there might be some acceptance for random bikeshedding
But fuck, if you're bleeding from an artery, how much time are you going to spend considering what hat you should wear on your trip to the ER?
-
Hire. Some. QA. Please.
The round avatar fiasco is a sign they need business analysts and UI specialists.
Though they do need QA, too.
-
fix the fucking quoting already
I think they might have fixed select-quoting in PMs. Did't work yesterday. Worked today.
Or, you know, Discoursistency. One or the other.
-

Sadly, I think they have that... And we know the team very, very well. We're almost friendly with them most of the time, actually.

I was talking more about this kind of shit:
http://what.thedailywtf.com/t/quoting-breaks-urls/9095
Because, you know, Discourse is designed to mutilate URLs...
-
Too true.
I wouldn't call this a whoosh, rather bad phrasing on my part.
Let me put this way: One of the members really likes hats. There's this other one that really loves memes and obscure references.
Speaking of hats, some arrangements are in order...
-
We are the QA!
-
I was talking more about this kind of shit:
Oh, I know. I just wanted to mention that something got fixed recently. Not much, not what we'd like, but something.
Don't take me wrong, I'm not defending Discodevs here, just pointing out the fact that fixes sometimes even happen.

Oh I got it. My first instinct was to say that I'm always friendly with myself, but that would discount others, so I just decided to agree with you.

Bullshit. You might be conducting the testing but we are nowhere near organized enough to merit the name QA.

We're more like an agressive UAT.

That's fair. I was just seeing if I had caught @Onyx's implication correctly...
-
FWIW, I think QA are an important part of any software development, and you shouldn't attempt to ship anything without some kind of QA process in place.
-

I did not intend to offend you, nor your professional pride.
But let's face it, given our experiences so far, we're closest they got.
This is sad.
-
So I hadn't seen any posts in this topic thanks to Dischorse randomly setting it back to Regular in May 2014.
All caught up now. This certainly hasn't made me any more likely to change my vote.

In the last few months I noticed that I find it much harder to follow Discourse-based forums, even if it has a few features I really like. I'm not sure why - I could read everything that was posted on the old sidebar, but I just lost interest since the switch to Discourse. But I also joined a few other Discourse-based forums, and never really started following them, even when they had discussions I was really interested in. OTOH, I'm still keeping up with a few other forums running more classic board software.

Where the hell is 'acceptance' in our vocabulary vis-a-vis Discourse?
-
Who says the 'A' is 'acceptance'? ;)
