Subtle changes, bugs and feedback

I still think that those affected should work with the Apple devs via the bug tracker I opened to resolve it. They are there, they want to help, they need assistance to help. If they have a bug or regression then they want to discover it as it likely affects a lot of websites in some subtle way.

I have no idea how to do so.

Is what was posted months ago when it first came up, I guess sign up and post on there with some evidence.

I don't have anything other than "this keeps happening", which is what has already been posted.

There's already a video but without reliable steps for anyone to reproduce it's going nowhere.

Does it happen in a private browser tab @Dammit? (i.e. not logged in)

If you tell apple that then they can try to recreate it based on your hardware and settings or ask you try something to fix it.

I see this every time I try to post or log out in Firefox. Tested without extensions. My browser setup features many of the privacy settings listed in these pages:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Privacy/Privacy_Task_Force/firefox_about_config_privacy_tweeks
https://privacyinternational.org/guide-step/4330/firefox-adjusting-settings-enhance-your-online-privacy

Must mean I have a lot of active sessions I could do with killing.

Separately, is the link tracking necessary? If I try to avoid it by copying and pasting the links instead there is suddenly a load of %C2%AD in the url once I hit enter. For example, try with the links on this thread:
https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/256579/?offset=1025
Therefore the page doesn't load and I need to manually edit it.

+username has the same effect as @Username in terms of tagging. Is this deliberate behaviour +Velocio ?

On iOS, when I tap on a thread, then tap ‘in reply to’, it takes me three ‘swipe backs’ (previous page) to leave the thread again, where it logically should take two.

The page also freezes for two seconds after the first and second ‘swipe back’.

Is this a known thing?

Ok, the cursor/number box thing has made it's way into the Apple thread, and @regal found this thread on Stack Overflow which contains a "fix" that stops it happening.

That’s one of the test cases I tried with your help last month, so it’s interesting you couldn’t replicate it.

I’m avoiding upgrading for exactly this reason, but perhaps I will when I’ve got some time to try it out.

Yes.

There was a 50/50 split on the behaviour people wanted when I wrote it... so you got both.

Umm, because I’m a bit stupid, I must have done something with notifications as I now get an email whenever a new user signs in
Could you help me work out how to switch it off?
Apologies

Go there and unfollow it :)

Ah! Thank you :)

This continues to be very annoying.

I can't reply to my own post, this is the link to it:

Is there a reason we don't have strikethru Strikethrough as a button option in this editor?

I rarely use List, Quote or Code options but quite often use strikethru. #csb

Yes, I didn't code it.

"Well, you're not busy now are you?"
"I'm sure it's just a quick change, could you just..."
"I know it's not in the spec but could we have..."
"The client now wants..."

I don't seem to be getting notifications for DMs recently. By which I mean, if I tap the 3 lines in the top left of every page, the little envelope in the top right corner doesn't go yellow like it should. (I'm not explaining that very well). I have to go in to my inbox to see if there's anything in there. Have I accidentally fucked about with my settings or is something else causing that?

I get it.

And the way that works is that I read unread_huddles from the profiles table.

That number is updated when new huddles are created, and decremented when an unread huddle is viewed.

That code is:

WITH u AS (
    SELECT COALESCE(COUNT(*) OVER(), 0) AS total
      FROM flags ff
      JOIN (
               SELECT hp.huddle_id
                     ,f.last_modified
                 FROM huddle_profiles hp
                      JOIN flags f ON f.item_type_id = 5
                                  AND f.item_id = hp.huddle_id
                 LEFT JOIN read r ON r.profile_id = 66188
                                 AND r.item_type_id = 5
                                 AND r.item_id = f.item_id
                 LEFT JOIN read r2 ON r2.profile_id = 66188
                                  AND r2.item_type_id = 5
                                  AND r2.item_id = 0
                WHERE hp.profile_id = 66188
                  AND f.last_modified > COALESCE(
                                            COALESCE(
                                                r.read,
                                                r2.read
                                            ),
                                            TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE '1970-01-01 12:00:00'
                                        )
           ) AS h ON ff.parent_item_id = h.huddle_id
                 AND ff.parent_item_type_id = 5
                 AND ff.last_modified >= h.last_modified
      LEFT JOIN ignores i ON i.profile_id = 66188
                         AND i.item_type_id = 3
                         AND i.item_id = ff.created_by
     WHERE i.profile_id IS NULL
     GROUP BY h.huddle_id
     LIMIT 1
)
UPDATE profiles
   SET unread_huddles = COALESCE((SELECT total FROM u), 0)
 WHERE profile_id = 66188;

I've checked that, and it looks good.

SELECT unread_huddles FROM profiles WHERE profile_id = 66188;
 unread_huddles
----------------
              0
(1 row)

It says you have zero... so now I'll send you a DM.

SELECT unread_huddles FROM profiles WHERE profile_id = 66188;
 unread_huddles
----------------
              1
(1 row)

That should now restore the orange logo.

Hypothesis for what happened... I nuked a spammer who had sent you a DM, you can therefore never read the DM and thus it would never reset the counter correctly. Something like that.

But I've manually triggered it now, so it should be good.

Thanks for that! I got the notification for the test DM you sent me so looks like it's all sorted.

Perfect, thanks for letting me know (as I forgot how that stuff worked)

Hi, not sure if posting in the correct thread. Sold some bars today and went on to update the thread, and I don't seem to be able to edit the OPs to annotate the sold items, or even comment/add a new post.
Thread doesn't appear closed on my end, not sure what is happening.

Just noticed that conversation is closed (padlock logo in front of title).
Is this something I did by mistake or have I broken the rules somehow and moderators have closed my thread?
