1) Create a poll 2) Put usernames in the options such as "Which bug to fix next?" Option: "hyperlinks in quotes reported by @Lorne_Kates" 3) When voting, click on any part of the poll with @Lorne_Kates in the text 3) Your click will silently get eaten and not registered as a vote
Especially dangerous if someone doesn't realize the UI changes after the click, and assumes their vote has been registered. If there's a poll with multiple options, but only few or one with a username in it, it will bias that poll AGAINST that option.
On talk.developersquare.net, we are developing a RTL forum. In the most recent code release, I see that the hamburger derived navigation window doesn't flow from the left. When you select an RTL language, the navigation buttons moves to the left, but the navigation window does not.
@eviltrout told me I should ping @Simon_Cossar and engage on these issues. here are a few screenshots. let me know if there is anything else I should report or monitor...
I have recently installed Discourse on a 1Gb DigitalOcean droplet (with 2Gb swap file as per the installation instructions), which I've been playing with and successfully rebuilding over the past few days.
When I made some changes to the app.yml SMTP login details this morning and tried to rebuild I got the following error:
sudo ./launcher rebuild app
You do not appear to have sufficient memory to run Discourse.
See https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md#create-new-cloud-server
This only happened after I reran git pull this morning, I had to temporarily upgrade my droplet to 2Gb in order to get the rebuild to run successfully.
I'm a relative newcomer to Linux, so is there some trick that I'm missing? I'm not sure why I am struggling now when previously it would rebuild correctly every time.
In every WYSIYG I use (including Word), pressing a keyboard shortcut to close formatting will just end it.
Expectation: CTRL-B. Type something. CTRL-B. something_else. "something" will be bold and something_else will not be.
What happens: Second CTRL-B opens a second formatted block immediately afterwards.
Example: I just pressed CTRL-B to start this text. I will now press CTRL-B again expecting it to move the cursor to the end of the bold text block.****strong text <== Instead I get a second block of STAR STAR strong test STAR STAR
So I either have to manually move the cursor, or if I pressed CTRL-B as expected, I have to move the cursor AND delete unexpected text.
See screenshot. When the category name is long, the text overlaps with the text in the "replies" colum on suggested topics list. I guess the answer is to shorten it to say 15 characters followed by ...
I know, I know, this title is way too long. But we need to be able to distinguish very clearly what is internal from what is public on our discourse.
When I set a category to 'watching' and do a refresh then the 'watching' stays visible. But when I go e.g. to the root and revisit the same category then I see my previous status 'Regular', which is confusing or even a bug?
I can reproduce this problem here in meta too. Or is this expected somehow?
I have just released the very first version of a plugin that tries to accomplish what users from my community want: make the user profiles look like this:
when viewed from the anonymous account, and like this:
after logging in. Settings are currently limited to this:
Note that currently, user cards are not yet altered (which is clearly missing because otherwise, this plugin is a bit pointless. I will add this ASAP). I am also looking for a better approach for the user.hbs copy I have to maintain within that plugin - any pointers are welcome. I found @neil's remark here, but the link for the example is broken.
I see that there is a button to reply the topic right after the topic start. Doesn't this lead users to post replies without reading the conversation? What is the benefits of this kind of choice in a fórum?
It would be great if opening a modal dialog (e.g. lightbox like keyboard shortcuts or smilies selector) would stop me from interacting with the topics / posts in the background. So, no scrolling or anything.
The same goes for scrollable popups like the user menu or even the preview window when writing a post. When there's a scrollbar visible, scroll event shouldn't bubble up the event chain and start scrolling the topic list or posts.
Open an image in a lightbox. You can't scroll the posts in your timeline that are still visible behind the image.
Open your notification or message popup menu and scroll to the bottom of those lists. Even if you are at the end of those lists, the posts in your timeline don't start scrolling.

Thank You!
