-> not using imgur

why

Imgur is trending towards photobucket badness but is faaaaaaaaar better at the moment.

Photobucket is the 8 track of image hosting. Out of style, out of date, technically inferior.

Like if your friend was still running Windows 98. You'd be like "what are you doing?"

That's Photobucket.

Love it.


Got a new feature request.

There's an "Isolate Posts by X" under everyone's avatar on desktop but not on mobile. It would be super helpful to have that on mobile, too.

I'll ISO them later.

Who's the one leading the vote before it went to Soneji?

Can we steal Mafia Universe’s vote tracking code? It would be so nice to be able to answer questions like this. Not only does it track in thread votes, it keeps a list of all votes that looks like

Sloonei votes Jack ^1
Nutella votes Jack ^2
Jay votes Jack ^3
Nutella unvotes Jack v2
Nutella votes Jay ^1

And then you can click into any of these votes and it will show you the vote count at the time that vote was placed. All votes are shown in order they were placed left to right and by who has the most votes up to down. All votes within the counts are also hyperlinked to the posts where those votes were made so you can see the context.

They might not let us have it cause automod is like the pride and joy of MU but I think it’s worth asking. Polls are way better than manual vote counts (never doing that again after FE) but automod is another giant leap in the right direction. Plus, no having to make a polls thread.

Also, I’ve been doing a lot of coding at work lately and I’d love a chance to look at the backend of what we have here sometime esp in regards to polls.

I randomly get signed out on mobile Safari and pc Chrome.

Seems to happen several times in a day/week and then not happen for a month or so.

Is there a way to disable the “mention” prompt when a “@“ symbol is within a quote box?

So here’s me quoting a short post with an @ mention in it.



Once I start typing, it prompts me to mention myself (which I never want to do and I think this generally applies to any @ mentions within quote boxes).



If you hit “return,” (ie try to start a new paragraph) not only does the at mention get inserted into your post, it gets inserted not where the “@playername” bit is but somewhere around where you’re typing, deleting part of the post in the process, in this case, an entire word of the new post as well as a portion of the end quote code.



So when you go to post, it looks like this.

Savvy!

Thanks, Boo.

I feel like a big whiner every time I ask for an improvement because Boo has done such a great job fixing everything lately. It's really appreciated.

So with the announcement of the preferred pronoun stuff, I just wanted to point out that it isn't showing on mobile.

Basically all of this is missing on mobile to keep things looking cleaner/smaller.



I'd suggest the "isolate posts by" link and the preferred pronouns be added to the mobile interface. Depending on how the coding is, it might not even increase the size of the post headers since there's currently a bit of blank space to the right of the username on mobile.

Thanks!

Oh well. I’ll just be personally careful.
