So you've made over twice as many posts here as you had on the old forum, but you somehow are more used to the old forum's method of posting?

RE: Frist! And Welcome
This demo has both pagination and infinite scrolling.
And Home/End don't work. Nice!

RE: Discourse vs. Community Server
Better?
I pushed Ctrl+Shift+R and now quote backgrounds are really dark, but at least the post separators are visible.

Is there a standardized format for forum exports?
Possibly with copious amounts of XML and 15 subtly incompatible implementations?

RE: Discourse and our reaction to it
I am going to start working on importing the CS posts across, but I think my script has a bug where all your posts get dropped...
Ok, two questions:
- How many people are you keeping in your basement to retype all those posts?
- How big is the database dump Alex gave you?
Filed under: a big dump

Although there are some "grow your own marijuana" forums I belong to which run on phpBB. Good people.

Yep, it's doing that for me as well. Time to dig into the code!

RE: Vote of No Confidence
I have no idea what you're talking about. Discourse works exactly like any other text-based website in that regard.

RE: Vote of No Confidence
Why not precompute the height of posts and then put the scrollbar in the right place relative to the topic instead of the currently loaded section of the topic?

#Poll shows US Number A-1 Star Jason Jones does best Indian Election Coverage
8 May 2014, New Delhi, M Post Bureau
New most scientific poll displays that 97% of Indian voters trust award wanting fake journalist Jason Jones to deliver best Lok Sabha coverage in 2014. Known as the Bronto-from-toronto, a six-time Mr. Canada entrant, Jones hopes India will help ‘exercise my mind as well as my temple of a body’.
Perhaps unknown for the time being to an Indian audience, astute film-lover will remember him include thetaut, straight-to-video pshychological thriller After Alice and the award-winning television masterpiece ‘Terminal Invasion’, in which aliens in human disguise commandeer a rural airport during a snowstorm. And who could forget the unforgettable 13 minutes of screen time Jason had in the SciFI Channel’s original film Webs, when his character (Junior) and a local team of wacky electicians, led by Sir Richard Greico, teleport to a parallel universe where human-looking alien spiders run amok? But beyond all the glitz and glamour of those prestigious projects, Jason is most proud of the trilogy of ‘based on a true story’ films from which he has been cut: America’s Prince: The JFK Jr. Story, All American Girl: The Mary Kay Letourneau Story and, most recently, the Meg Ryan box office bonanza Against the Ropes: The Jackie Kallen Story, in which he shared absolutely no screen time with Meg Ryan.
Jones, of course, will learn as much about India as possible in the short time he’s here. In an exclusive interview with the star himself, Jones Revealed has learned that Jones will visit The National Gandhi Museum sometime this week. ‘Seeing Ben Kingsleyis performance in 1982’s Gandhi is second only to his work in Iron Man 3, which is a film I saw on opening night because of some important peple I know from being rich celebrity’, boasted Jones. ‘I’ve always wanted to know more about Gandhi since his name comes up frequently in conversations, and I feel like I have Googled him a long time ago’, the humble and relatable star continued.
Asked what his hopes are for his first trip to the sub-continent, Jones replied ‘Having stayed at the Trump Taj Mahal Hotel and Casino at Atlantic City New Jersey I think I have a pretty good understanding of India, but I can only hope that the nation will live up to expectations set when I ate lunch at the Indian Pavillion at Disney’s EPCOT center while waiting fot the 1: 15 showing of Captian EO to begin. The flatbread I had was so good I missed the showing, but it was Ok because I caught the 1: 45’.

RE: Genuinely Useful Bug Reports
All three doors have already been opened, so technically it's a zero-in-any-positive-number chance that you're right.

RE: Genuinely Useful Bug Reports
I'm not sure if you picked the door on the right or the one in the middle, so here's the right door:
And here's the right door:
It contains one of those useless sentient cubes.

RE: Genuinely Useful Bug Reports
The door on the left contains a turret that will shoot entire bullets at you until you die.
Would you like to choose the door in the middle, or stay with the door on the right?

RE: Genuinely Useful Bug Reports
Yeah, no matter which I pick or if I change, it's always a 1-in-3 chance.
Pick a door.

RE: How do I create tag and multiple quote the users?
It's common to have threads that go for hundreds of posts, with multiple sub-threads that come and go and mingle with each other.
The Daily WTF is like Dwarf Fortress, then?

RE: Why can't I log in with my long name?
I remember that being a tag on CS, so I decided we need it here as well.

RE: Genuinely Useful Bug Reports
Bug: Selecting an entire post for quoting can be very tricky if you want to include a leading "I" or the punctuation at the end. Not sure how to screenshot this but just mess around and you'll find it. If you select too much and grab something that's not part of the post, the quote button goes away.
Expectation: Quoting an entire post in a reply should be easy.
You're kind of missing the point of having a reply button. This is the same reasoning as "don't quote the OP".

RE: Less than 24 hours and I already created an XSS exploit for Intercourse
I considered proposing a Google Doc we all have rights to edit, but I think that the usability would be too high.
Yeah Google Docs has pretty high usability. Why don't we print out the current topics and mail them to each other when we want to read or make posts (by writing on the paper).
