Bugs with the new BBS system

Ok can you repro this every time with the back button on iPad Air? If there is a reliable repro we can fix it.

No, it’s just as intermittent with the iPad as it was on my PC. I’ve seen it do this a shade less than a couple dozen times since I first noticed it back in February.

Completely new and unrelated bug…

I thought Discourse was supposed to download local copies of remote images so as to prevent image rot. Is that not happening anymore? In the Ten Thousand game I’ve seen a few images disappear, like this one.

Ooh, I’m glad you mentioned that, it was turned off.

I turned it back on, I can’t remember if this was turned off because it was causing issues with bb proper? No, I checked the settings logs, looks like it was defaulted off due to BBS being an early install prior to that feature even existing and never got turned on :frowning:

Well, it’s on now! Thanks for the reminder!

funny, right as I was reading these posts, a notification popped up–the image I last posted was backed up :^)

Recently the “All” view on the profile pages started to show only your own posts, just like the “Posts” view. That seems to be redundant at best and mildly annoying.

Yes, that is an intentional change. Can you describe what you liked about the previous all view? Most people we talked to found its old behavior annoying.

well, we have subcategories for “posts” and for “replies,” so “all” ought to have… all of the categories.

or, get rid of the “all” category and use “posts” as the default view. but I liked reviewing all my interactions that way, often I’d revisit a thread or think of a late reply seeing all the replies in the default feed.

Pretty much what @noahdjango said, but I would like to add that the “Posts” view by any name doesn’t seem like a very good starting point. It contains only things I already know and if I ever decide to click one of the links, then it is in response to an event that isn’t indicated there.

New wrinkle to this bug, and this has been iPad specific so far. Sometimes when viewing a thread I’ll swipe backwards to get to the thread listing and instead it’ll reload the thread I was reading. So I end up in a situation where swiping forwards and backwards just gives me the same thread over and over.

Quoting spoiler content does not persist the spoiler tag. Thus spoiling.

Images can be surrounded by a [spoiler] tag, and are blurred as expected.
Hover shows less-blurred state (as expected).
But selecting image does not give original un-blurred image:

And in my browser (Firefox 32, Windows 7), the blurred image sometimes disappears entirely.
It seems to always be present in editing-preview (so far as I’ve noticed).

Hey guys, the image spoiler functions correctly in Safari.

Quotes must be preceeded by a blank line for them to render.

Below, there are two examples (see screenshot at end for “live” edit preview).
The first has a line with <hr /> on one line, then the quote on the second+ lines.
It does not render as a quote.

The second has a line with <hr /> on the first line, a blank second line, then the quote on the third+ lines.
It does render as a quote.

(apologies for mixed first/second usage)

BUT add a line between the two, and:


Why use html for horizontal rule instead of the Markdown equivalent which is

The quote will now render, but the horizontal line does not:

I think your problem is that you need the extra line for it to render in Markdown as well. I checked it out, and it seems to lock like the indented bullet point.

  • Hitting (shift+8) once at the start of the line indents, and gives a bullet.
    Hit return once, and the indentation remains.

Hit return twice to release.

If you place text in a quote, you need an extra blank line above it to insert a horizontal rule. The second return won’t display.

It’ll look like this:

The category badges are rendering a bit oddly. Not sure why there are two links there. Is the second meant as a placeholder?
