Microcosm Feature Suggestions

Yeah, I solved it first time around.

Now I think it may be items created by people subsequently banned.

Subtly different.

No worries, I shall handle it later.

velocio, its impossible to message someone on here on a mobile device. android mind. going to a profile page doesnt give the possibility to send a "conversation", where on a computer it shows up on the right gray column.

or am i doing something wrong or what?

Press the three dots on the top right hand corner, this opens the sidebar.

this is impossible because the logo plays up on my phone, displays a big text "LFGSS - Powered by Micro"with the "cosm" part running outside of my screen, covering the three dots. when i wanna push the button with three dots, it sees it as the logobar and brings me back to the front page.

am i doing something wrong again?

What device do you have? Perhaps the resolution on the screen is far lower than we expected. This does work on the Android I have (Moto X).

samsung sII, so a nice old beast. ah well, ill just pm on computers then..

Does it work in landscape mode?

This should be resolved now.

The list will now exclude:

• Things moderated
  
• Things deleted
  
• Things deleted due to banning people
  
• Things moved to forums that you don't have permission to see
  
• Things in forums where your permission to see it has been revoked
  
  

Basically the list only shows those items that you would be allowed to see if you were not ignoring them.

In your case, of the 10,966 items ignored, some have since been deleted as a result of people being banned (none of those other scenario applied). This means your list should only have contained 10,875 items.

I presume the deletions were related to spam that you ignored, as we don't delete much. I can check on exactly which items were deleted if you want.

BTW, there's a great comment on that code about a design decision:
https://github.com/microcosm-cc/microcosm/blob/fd55cffb96f479da30b9e8e19b8254285fec8653/models/ignores.go#L137

This query intentionally does not provide has_unread() status. This is to pacify angry people ignoring things, then unignoring on updates and subsequently getting in to fights.

No errors now: thanks.

I can check on exactly which items were deleted if you want.

No, that's fine.

My latest todo list:

Done:

1. Linting
   
   

My immediate todo list:

1. Sitemaps
   
   

My refactoring todo list:

1. Create common struct for all types
   
2. Reorganise controllers and structs into micropackages
   
3. Move HTML rendering to Go
   
4. Move internationalisation to Go
   
5. Move localisation to Go
   
6. Do away with Django
   
   

My feature todo list:

1. Merge items for @hippy
   
2. Move items for Polo forums and others (forum to be moved to should be a search of available forums)
   
3. Polls for @Velocio
   
4. Classifieds for @Velocio
   
5. Forums within forums for Rapha, Islington, and most sites
   
6. Merge users
   

I need a scratchpad... this will do:

SELECT (line / 50000) + 1 AS sitemap_file
      ,line
      ,item_type_id
      ,item_id
  FROM (
           SELECT row_number() OVER() AS line
                 ,item_type_id
                 ,item_id
             FROM flags
            WHERE site_id = 234
              AND item_type_id != 5
              AND parent_item_type_id NOT IN (3, 5)
            ORDER BY last_modified ASC
       ) AS f
 ORDER BY line ASC
 LIMIT 50

Why when I'm writing posts does it always do this mid sentence

So annoying . I have to tap back in the text box then press return to get back to the end of my sentence/regain some view of the reply box.

No idea.

Fat-fingered?
Swiped sideways rather than typed?
Accidentally hit the top right corner and triggered the mousedown on the side bar?

One of those things that is hard to reproduce as I've never seen it happen.

it happens to me on occasion as well, you'll be typing a reply, and the screen jumps away from the text box to somewhere else on the page, usually the keyboard is still on screen and if you continue typing it jumps back.

But it is a bit disconcerting...
I'm still on i0s6 on my personal phone though.

I get that as well on occasion (just did it then, jumped half way up the page). My fingers are not particularly fat. Not sure if my grubby bacon grease smeared iPhone screen is causing it.

Interesting that you're all using iPhone and no Android or other people reporting it.

Unfortunately I'm going to be hard-pushed to fix it. It sounds like an issue with iPhone specifically and perhaps how some JavaScript interacts with actions on the iPhone.

I don't own an iPhone, or any Apple equipment. So I can't even emulate an iPhone convincingly enough to be able to test this in any way.

The chances of me being able to fix it are near zero without being able to reproduce it in a controlled way.

Does anyone who is experiencing this have experience doing web development? Are you able to debug JavaScript within the iPhone like you can for Chrome on Android? If so... can you take a look at this and suggest how to resolve it.

Make auto-follow an option?

I don't want to follow every thread I post in, so I'd find a global switch useful.

Another idea, just think it might be cool, no idea how complex/plausible.

If you could type in some trigger words somewhere that would auto follow any new threads with the trigger words in their title.

Are there any plans to implement a streaming API? Something to help avoid the need for polling for updates?

You fixed ignore so you don't get blank posts, but if the person you have ignored has replied most recently in a thread, you see "ignored" replied... When browsing following or forums...

Canz fix?

Coming in a month or so: Nested forums.

So we will probably re-organise, and bring all of polo together, all the classifieds together, etc.

re. this question, as both answer-suggestions (Adblock and Minimalist) require the ability to add add-ins to Chrome, which some of us might be unable to do,

perhaps people sat at desks in densely-populated 'open-plan' office-spaces, with very visible screens, so potentially in close proximity to a colleague who might find sight of forum content (or the visible browsing/interaction with such content) offensive, might appreciate a 'covert' / 'incognito' mode/method for daytime lfgss office- browsing/interacting, perhaps via a button, or better still, a separate front-page (e.g. lfgss.com/munity!) / skin / CSS?!

.. or is there no other way than via the generic main page entry?!

.. hence we simply browse with forum-pride, as we're required to do when browsing The Guardian's website for example - with the current site design having a permanent logo-header!!

(guess there's a difference between a newspaper website and a community website though?)

anyways..

.. could discuss perhaps tonight;

Not sure if this thread's still looked at or if this has been asked/answered before (I did UTFS) but is there any chance of a dark or night mode for the forum? This'd be especially useful for mobile browsing, as white's pretty intense when I'm lfgssing in bed.
