Q&A on Non-Moderation Matters (Mechanics, How-To, etc.)

Has the Oneboxing code (and/or the server doing it) changed? I’ve gotten boxes claiming 403 for both NYTimes and Politico. CNN worked, so it’s not global.

Late to this, obviously, but a number of contributors send in stuff by email or whatever. So I post them to the CMS. Once in a while, I forget to change the byline to theirs, then forget to fix it in BBS.

Anyone else having a weird glitch whereby scrolling down causes the page to jump back up a few posts? Just started a couple of days ago.

Yes, I’ve tried logging out and logging back in.

Mac/Firefox/uBlockOrigin, Privacy Badger

This happens to me a ton with Chrome/Ublock/Privacy Badger/some other stuff on Windows. I strongly suspect that it has to do with unrolling replies, replied-tos, or quotes, and then having that content unload off the top or the bottom of the screen as you scroll, but I haven’t systematically tested or anything.

it’s happening to me on my mac ( firefox ) when scrolling with the touchpad or when scrolling with the bbs’ custom scrollbar.

if i use the browser scrollbar, it works fine. ( but that’s definitely annoying because apple hides the scrollbars unless you’re scrolling :confused: )

Are you sure? Maybe we have different things…

I have MacBook Air M1, 2020 and here’s my System Settings:

nice! i’ll see if mine has that. ( still would be nice to scroll with the track pad, but that will help. i haven’t checked the discourse bug reports to see if they know about it. i suspect they do. )

Can I ask what is going on with the header and why the new topics button keeps disappearing and reappearing?

I wish I didn’t have to open a post in order to mute it.

Has anybody else been having problems with the “Show Full Post…” button?

It’s just been giving me a constant “Loading…” rather than expanding. Firefox 128.0.3 (and 128.0.2)

Hadn’t noticed until you asked, but I’m seeing the same (also FF 128)

What happens for me occasionally – which has already been reported in this thread, I think – is that sometimes after clicking “Show full post”, the post disappears after a few moments, leaving just a “…”, followed by the BBS comments.

EDIT: the “Loading…” thing just happened to me a moment ago. Yii.

Yep, the “Show Full Post” button fails for me. …curiously always clicked on the “Originally published at:” highlight so never noticed previously.
(also firefox 128.0.3)

I often do that, but I like the “Show Full Post” button because it allows you to highlight and quote a piece of the article directly into your reply in the comment thread.
