Comment links break formatting     (TalkDev)
submitted by oyveyo to TalkDev 11 months ago (+4/-0)
0 comments...
This is the link to the comment https://www.voat.xyz/viewpost?postid=647cf2cee91db&commentid=647d715565334
This is the link to the thread https://www.voat.xyz/viewpost?postid=647cf2cee91db

You'll notice that the first link has broken formatting for the equation at the end of my comment, while the formatting is correct in the second link.

edit: Someone reported that the first link looks fine. This is what I see https://files.catbox.moe/l518l1.jpg

The first link it creates is https://www.voat.xyz/2%5E(9/3 <--this just broke in this post edit
second is https://www.voat.xyz/1+1

Browser: Waterfox G5.0.1

My guess is that the server is interpreting the math division symbol "/" as a subverse reference in the first link, but not in the second link... not really sure what's happening but that's why we have @system

Can I un-delete a message?

Related: accidentally clicked delete on a PM. I don’t think there was a confirm message like “are you sure you want to delete this?” Maybe their should be?

Voats aren't "sticking"     (TalkDev)
submitted by NeedleStack to TalkDev 12 months ago (+12/-0)
15 comments last comment...
I tried upvoating a few posts in various subs and my voats didn't appear to count. I experimented upvoating in different subs and got the same outcome in each one. :(

Edit: The posts that didn't stick were older (around a month old and older) so maybe that's why?

There was a bug that got normal users banned on subs     (TalkDev)

There was a bug that got normal users banned on subs. Now the bug is fixed. If you see that you were banned by mistake, contact the mods of the subs where you were banned for no apparent reason.

Minor bug: hard coded username links in chat     (TalkDev)

When you click on the username of a user participating in the chat, it always goes to the profile page on Voat.xyz instead of Talk.lol if you're currently on Talk.lol.

Feature request: Collapsable/expandable posts     (TalkDev)
submitted by MuricaPersonified to TalkDev 1 year ago (+3/-0)
2 comments last comment...
Some users like to post many paragraphs. The content isn't necessarily bad, but it takes forever to scroll past (notably on mobile) to get to the actual comment section.

For those really long posts, maybe have them collapsed to a dozen or so lines by default, and have a "read more" prompt.

Minor cosmetic: voting [op] comments removes space between ] and number of points     (TalkDev)
submitted by Prairie to TalkDev 1 year ago (+0/-0)
0 comments...
I noticed it here: https://www.voat.xyz/viewpost?postid=64481a27d3573

Before voting I see

lord_nougat [op] 1 point
AI prefers a phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range.

Then when I hit up arrow the space disappears

lord_nougat [op]2 points
AI prefers a phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range.

Doesn't seem to happen with non-op comments in thread.

Suggestion: textbox resizer tweak     (TalkDev)
submitted by The_Reunto to TalkDev 1 year ago (+2/-0)
0 comments...
The small resizer icon in the bottom right of textboxes is sometimes hard to grab on mobile (desktop works great).

Making the click/touch area for resize slightly larger and/or more visibly delineated might improve the experience. Not sure whether other users are noticing the same thing.

Alternatively, something like double-tapping the bottom right to automatically resize to show the full length of the text would be probably be value added too.

Just a thought. Kudos for all your great work

Cheers

Sentences double posting Bug     (TalkDev)
submitted by VicariousJambi to TalkDev 1 year ago (+9/-1)
4 comments last comment...
Hey I noticed if you put a "-" after a sentence and a catbox link directly after it is double posts the words for some reason. Not sure if its specific to the filetype or what. Here's some random images and stuff for testing. It happened in some comments, not sure if it'll happen in a post too.

jpg filetype test - https://files.catbox.moe/u9epzc.jpg

png filetype test - https://files.catbox.moe/yqfswb.PNG

jpeg filetype test - https://files.catbox.moe/1dkzn4.jpeg

mp4 filetype test - https://files.catbox.moe/3g00gu.mp4

different site test - https://i.imgur.com/G4QImJ1.jpg

this is what I typed

Mirror: https://files.catbox.moe/mywefi.png

Edit: it also breaks links if they're put after each other

Anon Bug     (TalkDev)
submitted by Monica to TalkDev 1 year ago (+3/-0)
12 comments last comment...
@system

Brave Browser

I am logged in and went into the /anon sub and was going to reply to a post. I clicked the button to turn off the anon to see what would happen. The popup came up that said "whatever the popup says ..." and I canceled it. Then I started typing up something. I decided not to post it.

I then clicked on the "Voat" logo that goes to the frontpage. Everything on the page: usernames and subs were all anon.

anonwhatever, askanon, anontalk, etc... Subs I've never been to. I'm probably going to have to logout to reset it back to normal.

edit: After posting this the frontpage came up and looked normal with usernames and regular subs but if I click on the Voat logo it still goes to anon usernames and anon subs only.

Logging out and logging back in fixed it.

Feature request: automatically embed YouTube videos     (TalkDev)
submitted by SignedUp to TalkDev 1 year ago (+7/-2)

Lots of link submissions are YouTube links (www, m. and youtu.be). It would be great if the video automatically embedded if you expand/open the post so you don't have to go to the YouTube site or app.

Suggestion: anon toggle that remembers preference     (TalkDev)
submitted by The_Reunto to TalkDev 1 year ago (+4/-0)
4 comments last comment...
I usually prefer to post in anon subs with anon turned off. It's easy to forget to flip the switch. It would be a great added feature to allow the anon toggle to remember your preference (instead of defaulting to anon on each time)

Cheers

Accounts below 10 points now have their message length limited     (TalkDev)
submitted by system to TalkDev 1.1 years ago (+47/-1)
87 comments last comment...
Below 10 points you are limited to 2,000 characters.

Below 0 points you are limited to 300 characters.

I hate the idea of accounts getting brigaded and then limited over petty stuff so I may turn this into a mod option which can be turned on and off depending on the climate and mod availability but right now that's too much work.

Oh and you need at least 1 point to create a poll now.

New unanticipated feature     (TalkDev)
submitted by Sector7 to TalkDev 1 year ago (+7/-0)
5 comments last comment...
Starting this morning, most of the comments I post remain in the text box at the top of every voat page. As in, the last comment I submit will auto populate the text box on any voat page I open.

Editing a comment already posted seems to disable the bug, but it reappears after posting a new comment. Not consistently though.


Below text was in this text box when I opened this page. The process compressed the three paragraphs from my last comment into one, with the "\r\n\r\n" apparently denoting a new paragraph.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

To answer your question, your neighbor has had pro-substance beliefs installed at a lower level than his conscious mind. \r\n\r\nOur world is built from belief-sets that affect everything we think and do. We can self-modify those, particularly during intensely emotional events. Our beliefs can also be modified, replaced, and exchanged from the outside without our conscious knowledge. \r\n\r\nWas your neighbor a media watcher?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

If this is a new feature working as intended, nm.

Bugs with videos     (TalkDev)
submitted by oyveyo to TalkDev 1 year ago (+3/-0)
0 comments...
I just played a youtube link in-line (by clicking the "+" by the post, putting the video into action on the page). When I hit the "-" the video disappeared, but the video did not stop playing, I could hear it playing.

Also, these stupid tiktok videos are too long to fit on the page, and you can only see half of the video at any time unless you follow the link or fullscreen it. I think this is a bug, because the video should be scaled to fit the browser's viewing area. It's ridiculous to have to scroll the page up and down to see the video.

Funky points totals and broken votedposts page     (TalkDev)

My profile page and the points total on my sidebar do not match.

Profile page states 11760, sidebar states 11908.

Clicking the 11908 number gives me this broken link: https://www.voat.xyz/votedposts

Hooray bug fixing!

Ok so I made this a toggle. If I have to be away for an extended period of time I will turn it on, but for the most part it will be up to the spammers themselves whether this is enabled. Right now it's disabled. Let me know if there are any issues.

Things should be faster and smoother on the main page. Lots of code changes so there could be problems. Let me know of any you come across. Need to go through the other pages and do the same. Thanks to Conspirologist for reporting the few apparent ones that popped up.
