FWP: Deciding to wear an absolutely adorable black shirt to the office on dog day, when all the dogs on your floor are:
- Fawn coloured
- Shedding like crazy
this was not the correct day to wear this shirt.

Are you allowed to use the word "coloured" for something that is black?

16k 35 minute ride to work, same distance 40 minute ride home. Can drive in about 20 minutes if no traffic but then no exercise and no fitness.
FWP: I don't have a good enough excuse to drive unless the weather report on my smartphone shows likely rain.

Not a bug since a work around exists: use the green turd to jump to end

Kind of annoying but not a "real problem".

I'm with @aliceif on this one. I don't want to use the green bar

I think that qualifies as a woosh ...

I don't want to use the green bar and have to wait for the page to load if I can help it.
Actually I would like an indication on the topic list page that would tell me what status topics have ... and clicking it would allow me to change that.
Now I have topics without indications the topics list and I'm always left wondering why these are sitting at topic before I remember that they are muted.

Just hit "End" on that big board of keys in front of you.

What about those of us without an End? (I know; FWP…)
-
Just hit "End" on that big board of keys in front of you.
Has End always worked dissimilarly on topic list pages than it does in topics? I just noticed that a few days ago while trying to work through a backlog of old "New" and "Unread" topics. Instead of taking me to the bottom of the list, it only goes to the bottom of the loaded chunk.

I don't know, I don't see topic list pages very often because I can't even get through all the posts in the threads I've seen before, that appear in the grab-bag at the bottom of every topic. So I just use the grab-bag.
However I am not surprised at all by your description of this inconsistency in Discourse behaviour.
-
Has <kbd>End</kbd> always worked dissimilarly on topic list pages than it does in topics?
IIRC it works quite differently code-wise*, so I don’t think a topic-view-like topic list was ever a thing.* The client-side Discourse code doesn’t even know how many topics are in a particular category; it loads a first chunk from the list, then a second one when you scroll to the bottom, then a third, ... until you reach the last topic from the list.
-
Discourse keeps telling me I have new topics at the bottom of each page, but when I go to /new it says You have no new topics.
-
Is there a little baloon next to the topic titles with the word "new" in it?
Discourse always seems to present 10 topics at the bottom, in case you want to read them again (at least that's the best explanation I'd come up with).
-
I find things work better if I use New and Unread instead of the combined view, Latest. Not quite sure why.
-
Are you allowed to use the word "coloured" for something that is black?
Yes. Especially when it annoys that sort of person.

This is a sign that someone is Doing It Wrong.

So it has always been different. Discoursistency strikes again.
I find things work better if I use New and Updated instead of the combined view, Latest.
Did you mean Unread? Updated doesn't exist. New and Unread are what I was using when I observed this behavior. I normally use Latest, but there are 70-some old topics from Oct - Dec that I never got around to reading and that would be inconveniently far down the Latest list. I'm not sure why I'd want to go back to the beginning of Discohistory, so I've never tried End on Latest.

Did you mean Unread? Updated doesn't exist
Updated would make more sense IMO. Early on, I got confused as to whether New meant a new thread or new posts in a thread. Similarly, Unread.
-
Did you mean Unread?
Yes, I did. (What can I say, it began with
U
and ended withd
. That's gotta be taken as being right, yes?)

I feel obligated to pointt out that the aforesaid "dumb fuck" is Discourse, which is no barrier to my content-free trolling.
<no hidden message in this one, sorry guise :(

I was referring to "bassoon," not "dumb fuck." Some words shouldn't be used in polite companyl

BUT SERIOUSLY WHY EVEN HAVE CONTENT CHECKS IF THEY ARE TRIVIAL TO WORK AROUND? <descriptive>

Cause "good enough" is the general standard used and they work on anyone nontechnical?

nontechnical?
Do people exist who are technical enough to recognize a rhetorical question, but not technical enough to make use of <?
Filed under: also a rhetorical question

I have more problems contracting words together (but keeping the space randomly in there) when they've got an overlapping suffix and prefix. It's like I get bored with typing out all the letters and start using some from the preceding word. I find it hard to predict when I'm going to make such a blunder, but it's like I change “the theory” into “th eory”. (Hmm. Poor example.) Very frustrating! I keep spell-checking-as-I-type turned on in my browsers…
Swype!
I've been known to send 2 or 3 corrections by text message in response to a single bad swyping incident. Sent to my boss. I stick to machines with a real keyboard for Discourse usually.

Hmmm..... Possibly I should too... But the tablet is so convenient!
