The "Everything is Different" Vanilla feature and bug discussion

Linc

Feature request: option in profile to auto-bookmark threads you post in.

Have you seen the "Commented" tab?

Now I have

There is a bug in the new discussions list next to the articles. It goes to a black screen below the Icrontic header. The list knows I have new (unreadmessages in thread, but does not try to position them to last read message - the list is not parsing a position in the thread to list the thread, according to Firefox

Is there a full list of available badges somewhere?

Snarkasm

Small bug - I somehow have a permanent draft comment when I enter the "most fearsome creature in Skyrim" thread, even though that comment is actually posted in the discussion. I have tried clearing the box and manually saving a draft as well as clearing it and just waiting for a while to see if it would auto-save, but no dice. I think I can manually remove it via the drafts tab, but I'll leave it there for now if you want to poke around with it, @Lincoln.

The list is available to those with admin access for now; the reputation plugin is a new thing that Vanilla is working on. It will continue to improve, and a list of all available badges will be one of the things that will arrive eventually.

I got the photogenic badge again after changing my picture back last night even though I already had it years ago. Not sure if bug.

Yeah, that's the only solution at present. Bit annoying, I agree.

See attached photo. Duplicates of announcements, seems to be in most categories.

Sliquid

I just noticed extraneous "/wordpress" in all of the links under 'new discussions' on the homepage, 404ing the discussion and profile links.

also, the 404 message is black on black.

Tushon

Is there a way to ignore a particular thread, so that it doesn't show up in our "All" feed?

primesuspect

I don't think so; I think you can only ignore entire categories

Basil

Don't think this has been mentioned, but once or twice I've seen peoples real names rather than usernames displayed.

Tushon

While ponies was not the thread which made me think of this, it is less about hate and more I don't care, so I'd probably hide that too.

BobbyDigi

The code for is wrong

Linc

@BobbyDigi Howso?

BobbyDigi

@Lincoln <-- Doesn't work

Tushon

lololol. worth the bug fix.

Kwitko

I can't see deleted messages. Are they hard- or soft-deleted?

Thrax

Also missing options to merge threads.

Linc

Hard. I have an undo thingy if anyone messes up.

Snarkasm

Is it called "nightly backups?" (How can there be an undo if it's hard deleted?)

Linc

Is it called "nightly backups?" (How can there be an undo if it's hard deleted?)

No. It's actually removed from the comments database table (which is what I'd call "hard") but a diff is stored in a logs table (deletions and edits). I have an admin option to review diffs and restore any I like.

I saw that. Annoying, but at least it's there.

Opinion: The 'guest' avatars are not Icronticy enough. Put one of our artists to work on something more interesting.

Seconded, although couldn't we just bring back the old fedoras?

BLuKnight

It looks like both the Articles RSS and Discussions RSS point to the same RSS fee, Articles. Would like to have Discussions in my RSS again.

Great work on the redesign, @Lincoln!

Linc

Thanks for letting me know @BLuKnight! Fixed the RSS links.

I found the cause of the "Mark All Viewed" malfunctioning. It was conflicting with the caching I installed, so it was giving a wrong (too old) timestamp. I wrote a workaround and I'll be deploying it soon.
