A Up Down Left Right Start
-
One thing that I've noticed about infinite scrolling that really, really bugs me is the placement of the greenbar.
When I'm reading topic, my eyes go left to right. This remains true when I'm j/k scrolling through posts, just browser and quickly reading posts to see if the topic interests me. When I do this, my eyes are going side to side. You know what else they hit? The scroll bar. That thing that Discourse has made pointless and meaningless. It's on the edge of my vision when I'm reading, and it's useful.
Now, when I'm reading, or just quickly going over posts, I have to change my side to side movement to glance down and see where I am in the topic. This completely disrupts the flow of reading.

Idea: The progress box moves along the ROYGBIV spectrum the farther you go in a thread.

It would certainly put paid to all the 'rainbows' comparisons made before.

But still no unicorns!

Bug: Still no Cornify support.

Bug: Discourse does nothing when the Konami Code is entered.
My suggestion is to have it enable the secret pagination mode. When someone finally discovers it, @codinghorror can say, "It was there all along, you just weren't using the right keyboard shortcut!"

NOT the Konami Code.

Yeah, I didn't recognize your sequence specifically, but it made me think of Konami. I didn't have NES (or Sega) and only knew of the code from a neighborhood kid. One of the best weeks of my childhood was when they went on summer vacation and asked my brother and me to feed their cat. Surprisingly, my mom didn't say anything about how much time we spent at their house every day. To this day I wonder whether she realizes how long it actually takes to feed a cat (hint: not as long as it takes to use up 30 lives in Contra).

In my experience, it also didn't take long.

Interesting. It was in Gradius first, and only because the developer forgot to remove it..

I too was a SEGA fanboy back in the day, though my parents wouldn't let me have a console because 'all it could do was play games'... instead they got me an Amiga.

Yeah, I wasted my childhood.
