Poll with @ username doesn't register clicks

@Lorne_Kates wrote:

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.

What are some simple ways to improve digest emails

@watchmanmonitor wrote:

Continuing the discussion from Default email digest reset?:

These are some thoughts i had about the digest - things that are simple and could help a lot:

  • More statistics in the subject line.
    • Number of posts, number of posters, anything more than just Digest.
  • More details of number of posts, perhaps next to the Category, under the Topic Title.
  • An option which ensures that every newly updated topic is listed, less Digest more Total recap.
  • Some way to ensure that I didn't miss a thing because I was on Digest, just didn't get every email.

RTL user interface issues with navigation window

@noneck wrote:

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...

Insufficient Memory Error on Rebuild

@Queripel wrote:

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.

WYSIWYG keyboard shortcuts don't close formatting as expected

0

@Lorne_Kates wrote:

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.

Long category names overlap with replies on suggested topics list

@tobiaseigen wrote:

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.

Looking for an Abridged email, to recap all activity since the last email

@watchmanmonitor wrote:

Continuing the discussion from What are some simple ways to improve digest emails:

I wonder how many others want an Abridged mode - one that points out every updated Topic since the last email (not necessarily recapping posts).

In fact, I'm not sure how clear it is that Digest is NOT a full recap.

Setting category to 'watching' and revisiting still shows 'regular'

@karussell wrote:

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?

More-privacy: hide parts of user profiles

Continuing the discussion from Restrict public viewing of user profile:

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:

public
when viewed from the anonymous account, and like this:

authenticated
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.

Here's the plugin on GitHub:

Posting a list: move to next line, with automatic formatting?

@Daquantics wrote:

I thought this used to be possible: Say I'm writing a post with a list. If I've started with

1. Great List Item 1

I feel like I could hit shift + enter (or something) and discourse would jump to the next line, continuing the same formatting and giving me

1. Great List Item 1
2.

It made it really easy to type out lists, but perhaps I imagined it. Am I crazy?

Thanks in advance for your help/gentle confirmation of my insanity.

Reply button right after topic start

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?

Stop propagating scroll events when modal dialogs are visible or scrollable popups have focus

@gerhard wrote:

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.

Scrolling in the user menu:

Scrolling in the post preview:

Facebook does a great job in both cases:

  • 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.

No post edit possibly anymore since new release update

@josefkreitmayer wrote:

We updated the system to the new version 4 days ago.
Since 2 days, editing existing posts does not work anymore, and delivers a general error message.

First I (admin-role) thought, that is due to a username change I did the, but yesterday a colleague (also admin-role) reported the same problem.
