Subtle changes, bugs and feedback

How far away is the ignore feature?

Far-ish.

What work is happening is between meetings and running around, organising the round is the priority and the ignore feature is quite a large feature as it touches everything to some extent. So it will take a chunk of dedicated time, which isn't what we have right now.

banned

Shit, can't do that either.

Fine, go and raise your money, make us all right, see if I care.. hmmf

Can you just ban everyone I don't like instead, then? I'll send you a list.

You can start with hippy as I don't want him contradicting me over any of my choices.

want!

Far-ish.

Presumably that goes for proper quoting too?

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but the list of Messages in the PM function is getting confusing, particularly when the other person has deleted/removed themselves from the conversation.

When someone deletes the PM it currently says

SUBJECT OF PM @Shoosh started 17 days ago • 3 comments @Shoosh
replied 17 days ago

So without going into the PM I can't see who I originally sent it to.

If that person was still part of the conversation, it only shows the avatars and not the name of the person with you sent the PM to, which can be equally confusing if they are using the standard avatar.

Also it is possible to have proper date/time stamps on PMs rather than 17 days ago, 1 month ago, over a year ago?

timestaps are clickable and change format then. Try it out.

Maybe this could be set as a preference in the profile? @Velocio

wow!

I fear this is true.
Do miss proper quoting / multi-quoting / quoting myself.

Wow! Thanks.

wow!

Yea, I also was sort-of surprised when I found out that worked,
though to be honest a second later I was like "dude, they took time to make this work, when there's quite a lot of more important things to sort out?!"
Sorry, don't mean to bitch or be ungrateful, but..

Well, make that work is very quick and usually these very quick things help a developer a great deal.
Take your mind off longer features and give you a little sense of having accomplished something that day :)
Also, has they are neat little features, they show you (developer) care.

Yes I know but LFGSS without neg rep is like a texan without a gun.

@velocio Do you think it will be an issue of people accidentally opening forums? As the first place you see on the homepage to create content is to post a new forum, I wonder if this should be a more hidden function?

for example, i'm not sure this was meant to be a forum

https://www.lfgss.com/microcosms/598/

I'm just kidding.
I like the new board, I appreciate all the effort being put into it, and I know it all takes some time..

^^ ha yes I can see that happening - not everyone is familar with what a forum/conversation/post is. Maybe there should be a list there instead?

• Post a reply
  
• Create a conversation
  
• Create an event
  
• Create a forum
  
  

They could even all look like those "do something" buttons except for the first 3 when you click on them it comes up with a box that says "Find an existing conversation to reply to" "Go to a forum to create a conversation" or whatever. Better worded, obvs. Oh actually in that scenario the last one should also be a box which says "Create a new forum on the homepage - Yes" or something.

woo bulletpoints

I think it will happen, but I don't mind.

When it happens it will only ever produce things that are last on the list, they're easy to delete, and only the new forums that gain traction are ever going to ride through the list to appear on page 1 or 2.

I'm fine with it.

We didn't write the code that does this, so it cost effectively zero effort to achieve.

Dude, you're ruining the geek halo.

Actually, I wrote that code.

But it's such a small small thing:

	// toggle <time> html -> title -> html
	$('body').on('click', 'time', function() {
		$('time').each(function(ii) {
			var t = $(this);
			title = t.attr('title');
			html  = t.html();
			t.html(title).attr('title',html);
		});
	});

The title attribute and the HTML element value are just swapped in place.

The idea came from craigslist: http://london.craigslist.co.uk/atq/4675273641.html

Click on times to swap them back and forth.

Most people want "x minutes/hours/days ago".

But to handle disputes, and to provide clarity, accuracy is also needed. So I had to find a way to do better than the old vBulletin thing where it was impossible to see the accurate time.

Modal click works for me.

It's just occurred to me that I never bothered looking to see how Craigslist do that... but I just presumed they do it the same way I have. It's just too simple not to.
