hey guys, when I highlight text and hit the quote reply, it brings up the comp window, but if I don’t write any reply immediately (I’m working my way down the thread and planning to reply to multiple users in one post–y’know, like I’m supposed to) it doesn’t recognize that I have a draft in progress and if I minimize by either clicking the chevron or hitting esc, it eats the quote and I have to re-select and click again.
mac/firefox latest. just me? halp!
That is by design and intentional at the moment… only typing from you is considered a draft.
ah.
thought it was a bug, but OK. my work-around is to just do a lorus-ipsum-esque keysmash + esc. works easily enough, then I type over it when I’m actually ready to compose.
If I read an article on the blog, and see another article listed at the bottom, and try to open that article in another tab, it opens in both tabs.
If I back up to an article on the blog, and see another article listed at the bottom, and try to open that article in another tab, it opens in both tabs and interferes with going forward again.
@#$%
Not restricted to BoingBoing of course but foul webdesign anywhere.
Do not break back and forward!
Getting bad gateway errors periodically.
502 bad gateway-- error saving posts
The post is actually appended to the discussion, it just pops up an error too.
I’m having a similar thingie happen to me the past day or two. I post, the post seems to go through, but a few seconds later, an error message pops up saying there was an error saving my post, even though my post is right there…
Same thing happened to me about an hour or so ago.
Me four. Latest Chrome on Windows 8.
Sorry about that looks like deploy issues, split brain syndrome, one server has a different idea of the world than the others. Should be fixed now, looking at better ways for us to tell this has happened in the future…
Happens to me, but usually only on mobile (Chrome summat).
UPDATE: okay, also on desktop, Firefox.
I see the thing about multiple servers. Perhaps why I can sometimes perform a like whilst on like-ban?
Not so much a bug as a grievous oversight:
The drop-down menu in the upper right hand corner should have a PODCASTS entry.
Podcasts are a more important thing than videos, IMO, but the latter has its own entry. So podcasts should get the nod too.
Because I’m tired of entering boingboing.net/category/podcasts
We will populate the new drop down more. It’ll be amazing when the tshirt shop can be easily found.
It’s doing it again, but on a wee time delay. I’ll post a response, the response shows up, I move on to another thread, and then, after a short pause, the error message pops up, along with the editable draft that I just successfully posted. Weird, man. Latest Chrome on Win8.
Are the responses actually posting? Did you try clearing browser cache just in case?
Yeah, they seem to be posting fine. It’s not a bug that actually hurts, just a weird hiccupy thing.
I’ve been getting this too. Caused me to double post today.
Yep, it’s posting fine except the attempt at double post afterwards.
I set my own fonts and minimum font sizes in Firefox, to reduce my eye strain and help with my chronic headaches. Unfortunately, choosing my own fonts breaks the icons in Boing Boing and many other sites, and choosing my minimum font sizes causes the row of broken icons to overlap the first line of text when I comment.
