December 14 upgrades

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

There are two posters that start a shit-ton of threads that absolutely do not understand how to post in plain text. Just teaching them would solve plenty. 

[immamac 42857]

Report them and I'll send them tutorials via DM.

Why doesn’t it go to the last unread post in a thread when I click the topic? I thought I saw an alert about that but I guess I didn’t read it very closely.

I did it for you. 

Just click the dot or star next to the left of the thread title and it takes you to the first unread post.

Just came to give @immamac props for the Homer drooling icon.

[SDG 3319]

Why are two of the rep icons the same? 

[UnivTex34 1763]

Rage -1

Rage +1 

[TexasEd 8067]

Props on the incremental improvements.  I have been able to find everything I'm looking for pretty easily.  It appears you addressed many of the latency and infrastructure issues first and are now pushing out some usability updates.  I think the site is still familiar but better.

[Hagbard Celine 10867]

what is the preferred image hosting process/location

imgbb no longer functional

straight html copypasta is fucked

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

Nope 

 

This is what your url should look like.

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

imgbb most certainly still works, the user is the only issue here. 

[Hagbard Celine 10867]

yes, the user is most certainly the issue here because i can't fucking figure out how to upload to img.bb and generate the fucking correct url format

[Celery Man 20962]

this is a good feature.

[immamac 42857]

you should upload shit to surly directly.

yes, this works for me since the bb tags dont work anymore. 

[immamac 42857]

by default i'm not sure, I am sure I can disable it if necessary. is there EXIF on this?

 

[immamac 42857]

seems like it does if you copy/paste the url of that image into exifdata.com 

[Anastasis 23474]

yep, that image doesn't appear to have the gps data. 

[immamac 42857]

feel free to test one, I can delete it from the servers if it leaves the exif data. 

[Anastasis 23474]

Let’s try this. 

[Anastasis 23474]

Looks like is scrubs it all. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

does this site have the ignore feature?

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

thank you very much. there's this one particular poster who doesn't even venture into the basketball forum 99 days out of 100,  but every once in a blue moon he goes completely manic and shows up with 30 posts in two days, all uneducated and pretty much completely retarded, not to mention combative, argumentative, and as i said just plain stupid and uneducated. this site is much better without his dumb ass anywhere in my view. 

[Butch Had Not 2971]

I keep getting  error 500 when I attempt to enter a specific forum like football. But if I click onto the latest topic in that forum that is shown,  I can enter into that topic, hence how I was able to get in here. 

[immamac 42857]

click on futbol forum up top in the nav bar. then click on condensed view instead of expanded.

let me guess, it’s derka, right?

[immamac 42857]

So I've sorta figured out how to do whatever emoji or utf8 text we want as a badge for each poster. I was thinking the obvious for crowd sourced or banned folks is the middle finger. 

For new members the hand wave thing seems appropriate. 

Did we want hookem for everyone else or just leave it alone? Also I've been trying to figure out how to give people treefiddy flair on mobile open to any ideas that aren't intrusive or maybe the hookem badge is appropriate for that? 

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

Stop bro, no reason to keep cluttering shit.

Hey @immamac I have a request. Can we get Yarn video clips to embed? I can play their gifs and memes, but not the vids. Muchos grassyass.

Is there a way to hide the forums/unread/notifications/ etc from the bottom of the page when browsing in safari on iPhone? 

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

Yeah, disable Mobile navigation bar. 

 

[George 493]

Sweet thanks. Was looking in the wrong place. 

[ConferenceRoom 6141]

Did I miss something about the big up arrow that takes me back to the top of the page when I get to the end of a thread? My muscle memory and I are missing it quite badly. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

imma axed it. Said it messed up notifications or something. 

[ConferenceRoom 6141]

Well fuck a duck. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15987]

Supposedly he’s looking for a fix. 

[immamac 42857]

Are you on mobile or desktop? Mobile you can click the more button in the bottom mobile menu and it jumps to top even faster than before. 

On desktop scroll down and everything you need should be below the footer. I can also make the footer richer on desktop if that's what we need to do.

Desktop. It’s not a big deal, just need to re-train my brain. Increasing richness couldn’t hurt.

When I click on more in mobile , it brings up the account menu. I really liked the to the top of page arrow.

[immamac 42857]

Agreed, but it's just as fast just a different muscle memory to scroll to top. I will look for a less intrusive way to add the button back.

[El Diablo 4232]

Yeah, I'm strictly a desktop user. I'm not even sure I know what this "footer" is, miss the floating "top of page" arrow.

Yeah, I miss that thing big-time.  And the one on mobile only appears when you scroll, so if you have been stationary reading something you have to scroll for it to appear and then hit the arrow.  No biggie, but annoying.  The old way was 100x better, esp for desktop.

This is part of the footer with navigation like the top.  It doesn't have the globe icon or search though

Thanks. So improvements means either scroll to top or bottom of page.

@immamac is there a way to change the threshold for what constitutes a "popular post" for different boards? i believe that it's currently set to 10 +rep for a single post, which is probably appropriate for the football board, but on boards like Basketball and Baseball a post even getting +5 is fairly rare, and what i would consider as crossing the threshold of a "popular post". it's not a major deal or anything, but i sometimes use it to try and quickly peruse a thread that i'm behind on, such as a game thread or season long thread.
