The Friday Night Guitar Thread didn't appear in 'all'...

submitted by TheRealBuddha to TalkDev 2 yearsApr 3, 2023 18:36:13 ago (+15/-3)     (TalkDev)

(We tried pinging @system and @lord_nougat, to no avail.)

The first time we had the thread here, the thread did not appear in 'all' (or 'new', which I suppose I should use instead).

The second time we had the thread here, the thread appeared in 'all'/'new' just fine. There were no issues.

I made my large 'Banned from Poal' thread and it happily appeared in 'all'.

The third time we had the thread here, the thread did not appear in 'all' or in 'new'. It simply didn't show up in any location other than in the /guitar sub.

(Obviously, all these posts were submissions to the /guitar sub.)

Someone mentioned that it might have something to do with the thread being made a sticky/pinned thread. The three guitar thread submissions were all stickied, with all but one of them never reaching even 'new' or 'all'.

My thinking is to try not sticky-ing the next guitar thread to see if that does indeed make a difference but figured I'd ask here as someone else may have some thoughts on the matter.

Other than that, the mechanics/UX/UI are pretty horrible but we'll get used to it! We appreciate the new home and not being censored when we want to include 'talk.lol' in our text. Yeah, they're that petty on Poal. Though it was much easier to upvote everyone there!

LOL

Thanks for your time and, again, the new home for the FNGT.

Get this fixd immediately. That is an order from the top.

Hopefully, they get it sorted. We use the sticky as a way to organize stuff.

stickies being hidden from all is an age old bug, unsticky and it should show up

We shall see on Friday. Thanks!

That's poopish.

There should be a little tickbox or something somewhere for the sub owner to check or uncheck.

If he gives you any guff, I'll glare at him sternly.

EDIT:

Lol, I see that owner is you again.
And I see nothing to select; BUT it looks like maybe you're referring to the one which is stickied... and I do believe that stickying keeps it at the top of your sub, but I think it also keeps it out of /all [due to dumbtards abusing a feature and ruining it for everyone, I believe].

Yeah, it's kinda crappy.

It did appear in 'all' once. Then my 'moving to talk.lol' was on 'all' for quite a while.

But, the FNGT has failed to show up in 'all' 2/3rds of the time.

I'm usually pretty quick at setting the sticky bit, so there's some chance? I'm not sure how long it took @sleazy to sticky the FNGT he posted two Fridays ago. That one did make it to the all page.

The sticky bit could be a red herring. I have no idea. I don't have access to the code and haven't stood up a server to test it with. That and, man, my time is limited lately. For being retired, I sure am obligated to do a ton of stuff.

Yeah, I think it could be the stickying, as I postscripted into my previous reply [like some kind of noob]. I guess I just assume I still have time before it gets read, but you're FAST!

LOL I only had two subs. Linux and Guitar. Sadly, even though I was pretty speedy, someone had stolen my real username. I was told that was against the rules, but here we are...

Anyhow, giving up Linux was a no-brainer. They can have it. They're doing a much better job than I'd been doing.

The guitar sub is, on the other hand, quite important to me. So, we shan't be giving that one away.

I will try not using the sticky this coming week to see if that makes a difference. I have no idea what kind of abuse would come from sticky posts and their inclusion on 'all', but I mostly care that it gets picked up by 'all' so that folks see it.

I suppose what we can do is wait a few hours and for it to drop off 'all' before setting the sticky bit. We use that as an organizational tool. It makes it easier to find when people come in directly through the /guitar sub. It stays stickied all week and the sticky bit is removed a few hours/minutes before a new weekly thread is started.

That seems logical.

Fingers crossed!

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 2 points 2 yearsApr 3, 2023 19:40:52 ago (+2/-0)

We shall find out!

@sleazy, you should read this thread. I'm not yet sure which of us will open the thread this week, but you should read this.

[ - ] Sleazy 2 points 2 yearsApr 3, 2023 20:53:56 ago (+2/-0)

I am reading it

You still alive and kicking? The message system kinda sucks here, but at least it works.

PMs might actually be easier/better - though my inbox is already starting to get crowded. No rest for the wicked, or so they say...

[ - ] Sleazy 1 point 2 yearsApr 4, 2023 20:51:40 ago (+1/-0)

I am still alive, have kicked anyone lately

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 0 points 2 yearsApr 4, 2023 21:41:17 ago (+0/-0)

LOL This site kinda sucks for carrying on a long conversation via comments. I suppose it could be worse.

Also, they're going to work on the sticky thing, but let's not sticky this week's guitar thread and see what happens. We can add the sticky bit like four or six hours later, or perhaps even the next day? Hopefully they get it sorted. I've been a squeaky wheel.

This place looks right, but it's like the gay retarded twin brother of voat. There's gonna be some shit.

SMOOOSH!

Imgur. For fucks sake.

[ - ] lord_nougat 2 points 2 yearsApr 3, 2023 20:40:05 ago (+2/-0)

OH GODAMMIT!

Fixed.

[ - ] Hall_of_Cost 3 points 2 yearsApr 3, 2023 20:47:04 ago (+3/-0)

Yeah I realized after Friday was already over - glad you brought this up. I'm guilty of not checking much other than the front page lately. Hopefully this week I remember or see it.

[ - ] TheRealBuddha [op] 3 points 2 yearsApr 3, 2023 21:41:03 ago (+3/-0)

There will be another one in like four days. So, you have plenty of time to get something ready.
