Not sure how to word this but this is a glitch I get sometimes.

On phone. Brave Browser. Post a reply/comment to the thread. Comment goes through. Seems normal. Hit refresh. Comment re-submits. If I keep refreshing it'll keep resubmitting the comment. Doesn't seem to matter who I'm replying to, op or another comment.

After I've voted in polls, I can't see the questions in polls. I see only the ratio of voting, but not the questions they belong to.

Maybe automatically load the slot 1 preset for all users. The default should still be changed to light background with dark text.

This is for the regular (non-dark mode)

Add better contrast and make the text black as possible. Obsidian kind of black would be great. Same for post & comment text which looks gray on the page.

Possibly box every alternate post on front page/ v/all as well.
/u/oursenilepresident submitted a thesis on it.

See how the text on the comment edit box stands out? https://litter.catbox.moe/dfvwcs.png

It shouldn't be too much work but it will make a difference.

Hmm... The system isn't happy with me.

But, @sleazy - I'm a friggin' prophet!

@system - votes on comments (as you are doing) and then a live notification (on the browser tab) to show new comments (like Voat had) would be great. If you nail those two things, I don't think I'd have anything more to complain about.

EDIT: For some reason, it wasn't letting me post - and then it let some of the failed posts through. It's above my pay grade.

https://www.talk.lol/submissionreplies

LOL And no, I hadn't read this earlier! I'm a motherfuggin' prophet!

I guess they'll be enabled on comments soon.

After that, hopefully we'll get live tab changes to indicate new messages. I'd love to see that.

Hell, if we have that, I won't even complain about not being able to sticky a thread and have it appear in 'all'!

We can always sticky it on Saturday. I imagine it will be on the top of the guitar subverse anyways on Friday

[ - ] TheRealBuddha 0 points 1.1 yearsApr 6, 2023 21:14:26 ago (+0/-0)

It stands to reason that a few votes will be all it takes to make it rise to the top on Friday. So, we can survive with it this way, even though it's not what I'd prefer. I am also led to believe that that will be changing sometime in the future anyhow. So, eventually we'll be able to immediately sticky the thread again.

It's something hard-coded in my process, so I'll have to get used to not clicking the sticky bit right after I post the first comment.

[ + ] Sleazy

[ - ] Sleazy 1 point 1.1 yearsApr 6, 2023 21:21:41 ago (+1/-0)

It is part of the process for me as well. Before I even share a tune I sticky it!

LOL I hit the sticky immediately after submitting the comment.

I use both clipboard buffers. You have your standard cut and paste, then you have a 2nd buffer. If you highlight something (no cut and paste, just highlight it) and then press the scroll button in a text-input area it will paste what's in that buffer - what you'd highlighted.

I use both buffers because the submission might fail and I'll have to hurry.

I post the comment immediately to ensure it's the top-most comment - before someone types 'first!' or something.

Then I sticky it.

That'd be my process. Gonna have to remember to change it...

I figure I have both buffers, I might as well use them. I use the 2nd buffer quite often in my day-to-day tasks.

I'm having connectivity issues. If I stream a video, I can't browse. It has been fucky all day long.

Before that i think it was Ogrish(gore vids). Then jew Hayden Jewitt bought it. It had a good UI. I always gave them that. You had a homepage where people could post on your wall. I and another dude got the word "dindu nuffins" banned there. It was quite an achievement that still brings me great pride and joy. and I always fucked with that old boomer retard Sloop. I could push his buttons and make him mad as fuck and it was funny to me. lol

I can't remember what they are called, but I like the old voat feature where the owner could put a tag on a thread, like "Joke of the day" or whatever.

edit: I think they were called tags.

[ - ] mxcviel 0 points 1.1 yearsApr 7, 2023 11:41:41 ago (+0/-0)

I have one idea, not sure it can be done... but, when new registrations are opened, it would be great that before a new username can register, that it should solve some basic puzzle, like IQ test, and over 100 would be modestly nice I'd say.

[ - ] GloryBeckons 0 points 1.1 yearsApr 7, 2023 05:55:09 ago (+0/-0)*

One of my biggest annoyances here is the >quote formatting and bugs that come with it. Specifically:

- WAY too much spacing above and below the quote
- No merging of adjacent quote paragraphs into one quote block
- Weird interactions with other formatting / failing to apply formatting
- Sometimes makes entire paragraphs of content disappear

It's so bad I almost never use >quotes anymore. I'll try to reproduce some of the above:

Test1 Test2

Paragraph1 test
Paragraph2 link?

"Paragraph3 test"

Test3: link?

Would be great if you could find a way to just use standard markdown for the formatting.

[ + ] GloryBeckons

[ - ] GloryBeckons 0 points 1.1 yearsApr 7, 2023 05:57:13 ago (+0/-0)*

All of the formatting actually works in the above, so maybe you improved it already. Still, the first two points about spacing and not merging paragraphs into one block remain.

[ + ] system

[ - ] system [op] 0 points 1.1 yearsApr 7, 2023 09:11:07 ago (+0/-0)*

Yes some problems with it have been addressed.

WAY too much spacing above and below the quote

I used to think this but now it looks normal to me.

No merging of adjacent quote paragraphs into one quote block

This is an interesting idea on paper, not sure how good it would work in practice.

[ - ] GloryBeckons 1 point 1.1 yearsApr 7, 2023 10:57:15 ago (+1/-0)*

Well, I suppose one can get used to anything. But that doesn't mean it is good. Look at your comment. Respectfully, it looks atrocious.

The issue appears to be that you're inserting additional <br>s. This is unnecessary since the quote <div> already breaks line. If anything, you should be removing a `<br>` after a quote. For some reason, there even appears to be a trailing `<br>` at the end of the comment, which isn't present in other comments, even though it doesn't end on a quote.

Compare; top as is, bottom as should be: https://a.uguu.se/ZbWBkylj.png

As for merging, I think ideally the quotes in my comment should look like this:

https://a.uguu.se/MFTbBLwH.png

Note I removed the `"` marks. I think you should leave it up to the user to add them, if they want. If you want to visually emphasize that the box contains a quote, I would use CSS to put a big stylized closing quote mark in the top right corner of the `<div>`. For example:

```
.quotebox2::before {
position: absolute;
font-family: Arial;
top: 0;
right: 8px;

content:"\201D";
font-size: 50px;
color: rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
}
```

PS: Using ``` for code blocks would be nice, even if full markdown is out of reach.

PPS: Looks like the single line `code` blocks are html-escaping their contents, and then displaying them literally. I think I would avoid using <code> and instead use <p> with some styling to use a monospace font, add a border, change background color, etc.

I'm still in the process of consolidating all code. This place was really thrown together to get something up as fast as possible, and my coding knowledge was archaic at the time.

While we're using mobile browsers, it would be cool if we could see if we had a reply or message. Maybe turn the three little lines red or move the envelope out from under them.

I have to login like once a day. That's with ticking the option to remember me.

I suspect it's a matter of the age set in the cookie, but that's presumptuous at best. If it is that simple to fix it, I'd suggest making it every 28 or 30 days. That'd be 2419200 seconds for 28 days, or 2592000 seconds if you want 30 days. (In my experience that stuff is usually done in seconds, but I am assuming again.)
