Continuation of
>>13959 In short, use this thread to report any issues with the site, provide general feedback or suggestions.
Since the last thread there have been a lot of changes made to THP including new features (eg in the settings menu) and to the story list among other things. I'm too lazy to provide patch notes for every update but things change regularly. Feel free to ask questions related to that as well if you have any.
⋮ No. 15786 >>15785 There has
never been a restriction keeping
regular users from using
*magic*. It's been around for about a
year though I'm mildly surprised no one has figured it out. I've been meaning to do the last few tests before endorsing it officially but as it's a low priority item on my list...
>>15782 I skipped this year because I wasn't able to get all my preparations done in time. Silly hats will return "soon".
⋮ No. 15950 >>15947 Nope, not using private browsing or anything like that. I can't see how it can be any kind of tab-isolation thing because I can F5 the original tab (or any other tab) and it gets the wiped settings too.
Besides, if it were an intentional feature of some kind it ought to be happening
every time I open a link in a new tab. But it seems to be completely random. And since I can't get it to happen without opening a new tab, I can't get it to happen with the debugger open. Gah.
Well, for now I can browse THP exclusively in one tab... sucks but it works.
⋮ No. 15995 >>15992 >Hovered spoiler text is now unreadable gray-on-black instead of white on black. Can't seem to change it? It is the same color as the main font color.
>Margins/padding around post text has doubled It hasn't. You're confusing padding in posts with margins in the message. They have different effects.
>In archived threads the extra padding is absolutely ridiculous This is an oversight that I'll fix soon.
>Photon preset's post borders are now pure white, were #CCCCCC You're correct and I'll make the preset reflect that.
>At some point the font changed from serif to sans Yes, last year. Only some themes had different fonts and parts of the site like the front page never had serifs. Fonts were made uniform across the site.
⋮ No. 16189 >>15995 > It hasn't. You're confusing padding in posts with margins in the message. They have different effects. This is the latest reply ever, but yes it has. There is definitely twice as much blank space on my screen viewing THP live compared with some pages I downloaded a while back. The wasted pixels are quite noticible on my low-res screen. If that's the way it's gonna stay then I'll deal (not like someone who only visits every six months nowdays matters to you anyway) but it is a change for the worse IMO.
And spoiler text is still unreadable with the Photon and Futaba presets. Changing the "main font" color from #333333 to #000000 magically makes it white like the others. I assume it's scripted like that on purpose, but it seems a bit counter-intuitive to me, since spoiler backgrounds are hardcoded to black anyway.
>>16105 Aww, but I liked trolling people by saging my updates. Other than those nitpicks, everything's looking good. New story list will take a bit of getting used to but it's a big improvement overall. I'm also happy to read you're supporting FLOSS, not feeding Google and making everything (except spoilers again) work without JS. Keep up the good work.
⋮ No. 16192 >>16190 >the Story List was a new thing Strictly speaking it's not new, it just got a big overhaul recently.
I don't think it would be
too difficult to add a "last updated" date for some entries but am not sure that's the way to go. The issue is that scraping the data for the last update of every story is a little too complicated. And, if I limit that to just the active stories, then why not just not bother? As pointed out, there's a check for active stories where if they haven't gotten an update in a while, their status is demoted to stalled and eventually abandoned (this can be overridden by the authors themselves btw).
I could add a little box at the top of the story list explaining what each status mean (as in how many months for each status to trigger). Would that help? I'm not opposed to other approaches either, btw, just would prefer a simple solution. So, suggestions welcome.
⋮ No. 16195 >>16193 I can think of two somewhat feasible solutions to reaching the latest update (aside from the keyboard navigation mentioned by
>>16194). I wish to avoid over-engineered code or too much internal change as there's a surprising amount of caveats and checks needed due to how the data are structured. I'll continue to have a think on what's best.
>a story has been 'adopted'. I'm not aware of someone else just coming in and continuing something without the original author's consent but I am aware of cases where it was a collaboration and one of the writers ended up taking over completely.
Since you mentioned RSS, I'm not sure many are aware there are also feeds for each board (though I have long since thought about removing it since I don't think anyone uses them).
