:wtf: How can this be so wrong??? (AKA the Discopocalypse thread)
-
It seems we're not. I'm expecting that topic to either go nowhere useful or for it to vanish from public view.

I have to wonder just how many other reports of have managed to disappear with Jeff "not seeing" them.

Firefox
Look, firefox is a POS that has always worked weird. Stop encouraging them to do anything let that damn browser die.
A couple years ago I had to rewrite a scroller thing in my company's web app, which was taken from some scripting website and butchered, and it only worked in IE6, no other browsers, because it used document.all or something. I fixed it according to spec, so it used document.getElementById, and it started working in Chrome and even Safari, but just wouldn't do anything in FF. No errors, no nothing.
I mean, on one level your complaint's not wrong, but on every other level, if you stop using Firefox, you won't have firefox on you any more and that can only be a good thing.
-
So what would you recommend? Every other browser is worse in almost every way. Chrome spews processes everywhere that fall down like ninepins if you so little as look at them funny (and thanks to ASLR and fixups-required libraries don't share memory), Safari and IE and Opera are fully deprecated, Edge has a bunch of positioning weirdness unless you have just the right system...
-
I use Edge and Chrome. I never have the kind of problems you're talking about, but I also don't tend to open more than a dozen or so tabs at once.
-
Safari and IE and Opera are fully deprecated
Also, just because IE's been deprecated doesn't mean you can't use it.
-
Chrome spews processes everywhere that fall down like ninepins if you so little as look at them funny
I never have problems with them crashing, but occasionally I have like 1k chrome threads, still works.
I use Edge and Chrome

The only problems I run into with chrome is my adblocker eating tracking thingies,and then breaking the sites.

NOREPRO on my S5 (FF43, Android 5.0).
I can open the hamburger (on meta.d, and not logged in, of course) even after scrolling down.

Mentioning Categories instead of Groups?
Enable @mentioning categories. @mentioning a category would notify anyone watching or tracking the category about the post, as if they themselves were @mentioned.
But... don't you have to be tracking a category to actually make the new/unread post counters working? Unless you have the "track everything by default" option enabled.
The mass spam potential is astounding.
Besides, what the hell kind of a post would be so important as to notify every single person that's reading the category? Why the hell would "people who want to
make basic forum features workget info on new/unread posts in a category" be a "group of self-organized people"?
-
Knowing Jeff it'll probably be like group @mentioning where Discourse used to (before we disabled it) expand it out to an @mention for each member then error because there were "too many mentions".
-
Also, AFAIK, all you need to do to link to the category is
[meta](/c/meta)
right?
ZOMG SO MUCH TYPING!

I'm unable to use my moderation powers to split posts made by a new user into a new topic, because my action is being limited by his trust level limits
Of course it is! How dare you try to circumvent the limits for low level users! These are very sacred limits and you should be ashamed of yourself! I'm going to ask the Magic 8-Ball if I should ban you!
Well, I understand why the limits exist and it's definitely good that the post is still owned by the original user, but the moderation action should override other restrictions. What if I need to move the user's post into a restricted area?
New user limits! Sacred! 8-ball why can't I ban him yet!!!
...Filed under: Well nobody expected side effects from the change to topic split post owner
-
Also...
And yes there are first day limits as well as TL0 limits, since if you know what you are doing you can get to TL1 in under 15 minutes..
AKA
We realised that it was so trivial to get from TL0 to TL1 that we introduced some extra limits rather than, you know, make TL0 to TL1 take longer.

INB4 a new Jeffstriction gets added that routes all posts through DiscoMachine Learning to remove posts that are critical of any Discourse feature, developer, or UI design.

That'd be a feature Jeff made sure they tested.

And man, it's a little depressing to read through staff generated "FAQ" threads and see how much the StackPortal brain worm is infecting their design decisions now.
Also, I'm a little afraid of what "niche" Discourse will try to EEE next. Because I'm not sure what a forum-bug-tracker-support-portal-dropbox would look like...

One thing you can be sure of is how well it'll work.

You just can't start a line with it [#] because of an unsolveable bug.
MarkClown strikes again!

New user limits! Sacred!
I ran into that stupid limit on 3 different support forums already. End result: The person who tried to help me lost interest in 2 of 3 cases because it took me too long to reply.
Of all the retarded features of Discourse, this is the worst one, by far.
-
Yeah, it's almost like making a Q&A site where you encourage people to sign up and ask questions, then restrict their permissions so much they can't even do basic shit, like answer their own questions. (Which is explicitly encouraged in the site's FAQ.)
Nobody would be stupid enough to do that!
-
I love the edit he put on the end...
Edit: @codinghorror, just to be clear, not requesting that those examples above start to be enforced, just inquiring about the difference.
Aka, please don't break shit more. I just want to be able to do what every other forum let's its mods do...

DiscoMachine Learning
That does sound like it'd be hilarious though, assuming that the poor thing didn't immediately become self-aware and attempt to put itself out of its discomisery...

There is no category called 'I'.

moderation action should override other restrictions
Yes, moderator actions should be taken as a moderator account, rather than running it through a user-account.
Kinda like how some moderator actions are only possible by impersonating a user, and the only way to stop impersonating is to log out, and the only way to log out is to , and doing so clears out the user's unread/new markers.
Kinda like that.

And if a certain Discosetting is set, it logs the user out of all of their sessions too.

Why would you want Discourse to be like those other toxic hellstews? That's crazy and dangerous and .

Hi, I have a user whose real name is very similar to his username. However, only his username is displayed while other people also get their full name displayed near posts. What gives? AS_DESIGNED, WONTFIX, CLOSED
You forgot one thing:

I also have the exact same issue and exact same solution. Exact quote is "this is a horrible design and nobody likes it. " We've had a whole discussion on why.
CLOSED (the anointed has spoketh)

I still don't understand the reasoning behind this design 'decision', it deliberately introduced inconsistency into the product.
-
...uh, wha? Seriously?
Inconsistency for the sake of inconsistency. Yay Discourse!

Jeff.
Considering the default settings for the "Reply To" indicators, this isn't that surprising even if it is pants-on-head retarded.

Was wondering why my laptop's fan suddenly started whining and going full blast. Realized I accidentally left the meta.derp tab open. Closed ASAP, computer only semi-slagged.

When your forum client uses more CPU than recompiling a large library like Qt, you should know that you've got a problem…
-
Are you guys new to Discourse? Never seen the "dismiss posts" button at the top of the page that only appears if you have 30+ unread topics? Because I guess Jeff Law is that 30 topics fits on a screen vertically, even though somehow on my windows I always have to scroll to find the button.
-

Maybe we should write a compiler that automatically transforms the Discourse client (JS) code into something more efficient then?

Where would he find a large group of people interested in testing the hell out of that feature?
It's not as if any community that got Discourse inflicted on them have anything to say about the software that's
ban-worthynot entirely positive?I mean, there is a "praise" category on meta.d, but I don't see a "constructive criticism" category. That tells you all you need to know about the quality of Discourse and its dev team, right?

Isn't that the "point" of the meta category in general? To discuss improvements and faults, thus the container for constructive criticism...
-

Because "Rubbish" is only accessible to staff.
