Subtle changes, bugs and feedback

i have both u block origin and adblocker lite, even with both turned off i dont see the images

must be firefox though as i see them via chrome on laptop. oh well, was more curious then anything

Ghostery knocks them out I think. You need to whitelist LFGSS to et them back if it is your problem

must be firefox

Anti-tracking in Firefox will block embeds from a lot of image hosting sites.

it's terrifying when the forum goes down

Escaped unicode in urls fail.

I had laid the foundation for moving the front-end to Go, and this is now what I'll be focusing on in the evenings for the foreseeable future.

How's the Go re-write going? Have you decided on a web framework?

defines from C header files pasted in to a code block get rendered very oddly (I was expecting this to be prevented for things pasted into a code block), i.e.

#define BLAH 3

leads to:-

[#define](https://www.lfgss.com/search/?q=%23define) BLAH 3

Looks like the hashtag -> search link is applied even within a code block.

Escaping the # prevents the linkification but leaves the backslash visible...

\#define foo 3

Can't find a way to escape it within a code block.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do.

Paste some C code headers in a code block without the formatting going wonky.

[#include](https://www.lfgss.com/search/?q=%23include) <stdio.h>
int main()
{
   // printf() displays the string inside quotation
   printf("Hello, World!");
   return 0;
}

lol... hashtag detection :)

Nice.

Have I missed something about uploading? I'm entirely incapable of uploading images at the moment - FFs 50 through 59 on both Android & Ubuntu.

Firefox deprecated some old stuff and did so in a non-backwards compatible way. It's broken Microcosm for image uploading from Firefox... and I have been so snowed under that I haven't found the time to figure out all the stuff that I do not know about how to fix it.

Solution at the moment is: upload 1 image at a time, try again until it work.s

OK - cheers.

I'm using Chromium to upload just now as a workaround.

Until I ditch FF for good, after Quantum broke everything.

Instead of using the reply function (which generally works well, but can be useful to see the whole thread for context, rather than just the previous reply), I click on the post number to the right of the post (eg https://www.lfgss.com/comments/14228239/).

This brings up the post and and its direct replies (ie the post that the post replied to, and replies to the post). Would it be possible to also show show replies further up and down the chain, meaning the replies to replies, so that the whole threaded conversation is shown?

For example, https://www.lfgss.com/comments/14228239/ would show previous posts, like https://www.lfgss.com/comments/14228131/ .

You should be able to upload multiple images, select them all, then select them all again. 2nd time always works for me this way.

This site has knowledge of threading but does not render threads.

There's no real way to do that without breaking things like pagination.

However you can navigate the threads simply enough... on the single comment page, just follow the permalinks to the parent comment or child comments you're interested in.

Thanks, makes sense.

Any ideas why LFGSS is loading like this in Firefox (mac)? All other websites load correctly.

That suggests that you do not have the CSS file which comes from the same domain.

Force refresh or empty cache should fix it.

Thank you. Cleared the cache and it loads correctly now!

edit: pebkac

Still having an issue with. Clearing the cache works as a temp fix but then will load/display as above in the screenshot I posted.

I’m guessing this is a problem with Firefox on my Mac?

Regarding the cool new comment and view counter (showing large numbers in amounts of 'k' and 'M'): the way it's set up now is kind of funny in my opinion. For example, 5 394 comments is 'shortened' to 5.39k and even 294 082 is replaced with 294.82k.

In other words, they take up exactly the same amount of characters and in my view don't really offer the practical advantage of a simplified and speedier comments/views read by the user.

My suggestion would be the lower the amount of decimals in the thousands to one maybe, or just leave the original number. And then remove the decimal(s) when 10k is reached (same with millions).

So e.g.:

• 1.5k (or just 1 532);
  
• 24k;
  
• 435M.
  
  

The hover function to reveal the exact amount of comments/views works perfectly by the way, very cool.

I'm getting the below error when trying to post a new conversation in classifieds. Does the log say if I'm doing anything wrong? Thanks!
