Subtle changes, bugs and feedback

Anyone what having speed problems? LFGSS is super slow on my Pixel3 running Chrome, everything else is loading fine...

Anyone else having speed problems? LFGSS is super slow on my Pixel3 running Chrome, everything else is loading fine...

Just tried, and it's fast here.

Are there specific pages? Or is it the whole site?

Pixel 3, chrome and fine here too.

That'll be the Great Aussie Firewall...

I've found that on some pages, if a comment has more than about 6 newlines in it, it can't be edited. The text gets loaded into the textarea then instantly disappears. Also happens if you paste the same text into an empty "Post a reply" text area. But only specific pages.

Affects:

1. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/76.0.3809.100 Chrome/76.0.3809.100 Safari/537.36
   
2. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:69.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/69.0
   
   

Doesn't affect:

1. Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 9; Pixel 2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/76.0.3809.132 Mobile Safari/537.36
   
   

Edit: Seems to affect pages with images. If I delete all images on the the page, the text comes back into the box

The whole site, strange... Must be me then, wonder what's changed on my connection... It's painfully slow, almost unusable...

Can you go to this URI and cut and paste the info into here...

Any clues?

It's better! What did you do?

You didn't do anything, did you? 😭

What did you do?

Like all IT, he turned it off and on again.

You didn't do anything, did you?

This 🤣

I'm getting some really weird editing glitches where the text I enter into the write box will delete itself. It's something to do with line breaks but I can't make the problem occur consistently. Anyone else? It's not exactly the same problem as @cyclotron3k but sounds similar.

Sounds like an adblocker, and that something about the text suddenly matches a cosmetic adblock rule.

You may be able to test this by using a different browser without adblock installed and see if it still happens.

I had something similar. When I resized the text box (bottom right) the text 'magically' reappeared. Haven't noticed it recently though.

I’m suddenly getting the 1020 error again. Any chance you could switch the Captcha back on please?

Does microcosm have an API? If so, what's the simple way of getting the URLs for all my followed conversations which are marked as "New" because I haven't read all the posts?

https://microcosm-cc.github.io/

And yes... but I haven't integrated the "unread" part as a search.

The following page is mostly just a search already: https://www.lfgss.com/search/?q=type:conversation+type:event+type:huddle+following:true

The only difference is that the page also includes comments that mention you.

The API isn't publicly accessible though is it?

Edit: looks like it is available (has that changed?) https://lfgss.microcosm.app/api/v1

You'll need an API key to access your own data though.

but I haven't integrated the "unread" part as a search.

Ah right, that's the bit I was after, because every day I go to the following conversations page and open each "New" thread in a separate tab. I was looking to automate that, either with a bookmarklet to an API call, or a python script.

First I tried looking at the HMTL being returned to see if the tags for new threads were marked as such, but I can't see that they are. The headings are, but not the links.

Could use a bookmarklet once you're already on the page?

let newLabels = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.list-collection-row .label.label-warning'));
newLabels.map((label, i) => window.open(label.parentNode.querySelector('a').href, '_blank'));

Just needs a js: prefix (spelled in full), and wrapping in an IIFE, which I couldn't post because it was flagged as a security risk from cloudflare
