Fuck me I'm starting to feel like a whiner now. Not sure I like having to click twice to rate something. Before I just had to aim at the right one. I could browse and click the appropriate button as I saw fit.

Having to click twice will stop a lot of posts getting rated (I know right, the sheer horror)

Did you change the logo too?

Ratings bar is back for now.
I still need to style it to make it a little prettier and easier to click without taking up space but I agree. I think I don't like the extra click.

Yes I saw you did it. Now you just need to get rid of pineapples for everyone, apart from me and we all set

Here's one:
In the old version in order to post cool pictures and gifs found on the internet, I could:
  • Right Click/Copy Image/Paste
Now I have to
  • Right Click/ Copy Image Location/Insert Image/ Paste Image URL/Insert
In order to post.
Would be nice to still have the simple paste image fucntion in the post area.


Namaste

I'll offer a style for both and either we'll vote on it or you'll have the old way until it finally stops working from modern web design.


Facebook style turned back on until I finished styling the ratings bar the old way.

Yes we are tracking.

This was an oversight by me.
And I agree I want it back. It has to do with the way the text editor is handling this.
I don't have a lot of control over this because our site, like most sites, uses a standard text editor that some company makes so that you have uniform text entry on multiple sites across the internet.

I'm working on seeing if there is a way around what you're describing, but I don't know it right now. This was unexpected.

Splinty @Splinty this isn't particularly about the upgrade but more so a problem that is still around after the upgrade - any idea why so many devices post pictures sideways? Tbh I don't know of any device that correctly posts vertical photos taken by a smart phone camera.

I usually just crop the photo slightly and then it posts upright. I've also heard that pictures taken with the phone turned sideways don't come out sideways. You've mentioned to me before that it was an issue with our phones. If that's the case then it's an issue with a lot of phones.

Tool tip ratings probably staying as default. A great majority of our traffic is mobile and the site is going to continue to be optimized for them which includes this.

For now, you have a back up plan. Share it around

Does that come at a cost of speed or bandwidth etc...?

Heres what I think about your site. When I try to use gify I cant go to next set of gifs. This is unacceptable
I stole the giphy add on off the shelf. I'll see if I can edit to offer more than the current 10 options per search.



And when I try to tag someone. After I get the name I gotta hit space or it will add to the letters of the tag and not keep the name
Like if I want to say @
Splinty
Splinty @Splinty you suck
It does @spliyou suck unless I hit space after your name auto fills
no idea. That doesn't happen here @Bones Nose
Try enter instead.
As always: device and browser info needed.

Probably a little. But not too much.
You can switch back and forth by clicking the style chooser button on the bottom (bottom left on desktop) of the page
