Diabolik900 posted:That is intentional. Their user name was given that treatment on the actual forums several years ago because they used to always post in QCS asking when 3D browsing would be enabled on the forums. I added it to the app css to match. I almost never browse the forums anywhere but the app anymore, so I have no idea if they still have that on the site. 3D browsing was removed a while back. Feel free to also remove it from the app.

Midjack posted:This is a problem with the site, instead of appending to the existing list it discards it and then adds all the names again to a new list, and if one of your existing ignored names has become site staff since you added them you cant make any changes to your ignore list until you remove the site staff from your list. You can add people without editing the list (the button in user profiles works like this) but radium removed the function that directly removes someone from lists.

I don't think we distinguish staff any other way than the icon so it'll have to be done via an icon unless we revamp the way we display that info. Yeah, Kirby colored star - you can see it when you showpost a supermod post since that view does not yet support custom icons.

There are 3 new bookmark star colors, accessible through the 'experimental features' option. I'm hearing that this breaks things in the iOS app: bookmarks with the new colors do not show up.

wizzardstaff posted:What do bookmark colors even do on the website anyway? Why do I want a green star instead of a gold one? I always assumed it was to be able to put custom flags on bookmarks, but without a way to sort the flags that feels like an incomplete feature. (Or maybe that's actually possible and I just don't understand how to use them.) If you have the 'Colorize threads according to the bookmark category I've assigned' forum option enabled, it highlights the whole thread in thread lists rather than the only difference being the star color. This lets you (barring exceptional circumstances) easily differentiate between your different-colored bookmarks. My impression of the whole thing was that you could assign whatever meaning you want to the different colors. Maybe one color represents a forum a thread came from; maybe it marks threads as "I'd like to read these first". Maybe it means something completely different.

pokeyman posted:• The "bookmarked threads" page doesn't say which (sub)forum the thread is in, so we'd have to fetch that info for everything. Doable, though I try not to hit the Forums with too many extra requests compared to someone using a browser. The forums might be able to expose this for you; I'll make a note to look into it. Still would have that multiple-pages issue, though.

Hey could you guys please update your app's post report reason length? On the site, the report page's input box is at 140 characters currently; from a quick glance it looks like your app is truncating reasons down to 60. Anything between 140-960 would be a fine limit.

# ¿ Mar 1, 2021 22:08 |

The site will eventually be updated to have a proper text box with a longer length available; the backend is already set up to handle longer reports properly. If you go too long (over 1k) it'll give you an error message when you submit though.

spanky the dolphin posted:I think whatever is decided should just be implemented rather than adding more options. Everything bleeds together without them. Having the post date/time on the right, which sucks for reading in a left-to-right language to begin with, does not do enough to distinguish mid-thread whether it belongs with the post above or below it. e: Again, no horse in the race, but if I were a user of an app that suddenly changed like that with no option, I would be unhappy.

Post and edit dates on the same line look good, but again, left-to-right language. Post times should be (stay?) on the left. Displaying times themselves as 12h (AM/PM) or 24h is an option on the forums, and IMO if you're gonna change something about that, the app should either reflect the forums option directly or be able to optionally convert from whichever the user has currently selected. No preference on the date display format, myself, but that also strikes as a good candidate for an option. The forums time handling will be eventually improved to have more options (I don't believe we even have date format selection yet), real timezones instead of hacky offsets and DST handling, etc.

commie kong posted:It sounds like the ideal for you would be if the app just rendered the entire forums HTML as-is with no parsing at all. I believe his message was meant to be more along the lines of "display an edit button if the page has one" rather than "display the page's edit button if it has one. I can't imagine he has any complaint about native controls, the appeal of using an app to begin with.

b_d posted:yeah, it crashes immediately upon choosing the image. i think i can reproduce it consistently, i'll try it on my phone after posting this. On the website, sent items are saved to the Sent folder if you have selected to save a copy there. You can also create and use additional PM folders and organize your PMs into those folders.

b_d posted:right, I know you can see sent DMs on the site; I meant I also wish you could see them threaded on the site. obviously not a high-priority feature. I was elaborating to make sure that, in case it is not currently possible to see other PM folders (including "Sent") in the app, any addition would support arbitrary folders too and not just "Sent". e: The thing about PM threading has a feature request thread already, for reference.

Can't speak for the app, but: If you followed a noseen=1 link (for example, the kind from the leper's colony or search), the forums won't record any read progress on the page you visit unless you manually navigate to a different part of that thread yourself. On the forums side, we plan to eventually add a tiny note at the top of any noseen=1 page to clarify that this is happening, so there is no confusion.

I did notice that there have been a lot of NWS-tagged reports for things that were not NWS lately; an app bug would certainly go far to explain that. Glad someone was able to figure out why that might be happening, because it was very confusing.
