Bugs and Features

Tez

Nothing obvious is sticking out for Trib, so I rebuilt / restarted.

IN OTHER NEWS, verification (and any other) emails should be going out properly now.

When I click the button with the notification, it should give me a menu, but nothing happens.

I am using Chrome on my iPhone.

Which takes massive screenshots. Sorry.

Tez

@KarmaBum Have you tried it with any other skins?

Tributary

@Tez Guess what? Seems to work fine on mobile. Will check desktop tomorrow.

KarmaBum

@Tez yes, it works on the default skin. Using that for now. If anyone finds time to fix it on the slate skin, I think that’s the most commonly used “dark” skin.

Roz

@KarmaBum FWIW, Superhero is a dark skin and the menus are working at the moment!

Roz

@KarmaBum Actually a quick Google just suggests changing the skin and then changing it back, so you might try that!

KarmaBum

@Roz No such luck, but thanks for the suggestion. Superhero skin has the same issue.

Edit to add: now default skin doesn’t work.

It is, and I adopted it after seeing you mentioned it, but a word of warning to the unwary:
it’s fucking ugly

GRAY and ORANGE omg

Tez

I’m gonna be real with you this is totally beyond my ability. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS AN APPEAL TO THE COMMUNITY: does anyone know a gosh darn thing about fixing this?

Floof

I was going to say I haven’t had any issues with Darkly, but I don’t seem to have issues no matter what I switch to. The closest I got was logging out and immediately trying to click a menu, but it was resolved by refreshing.

It appears to be a known bug, though, and might have to do with plugins. The only ‘fixes’ I’ve seen suggested are switching between themes, pinpointing a potential plugin issue, and rebuilding.

Which is to say, I’m not sure anyone actually knows how to fix it.

KarmaBum

@Floof I had it working only the very first time I changed back to the default skin. Now, all of them are busted.

I have changed my bookmark to /unread as a solution for now. Honestly, I’ve gotten used to the forum being goofy.

KarmaBum

Double post to add that this seems to come and go. If I close my browser tab in my phone and reopen, the menu works (sometimes).

Pavel

I’m looking into it. Given there are alternatives it’s not a super high priority at present.

Jennkryst

Is there a setting to change so instead of x days ago, there is a timestamp for when something was posted? I looked but did not see it.

Roz

@Jennkryst I do know that different skins can display timestamps different ways, and that you can get the exact time by hovering over the relative time where it shows up generally. But I know nothing about an actual setting somewhere.

Jennkryst

@Roz Cool, I can wait to get home to grab the timestamps, then. Thanks!

If you hover your mouse over the thing, it does give a timestamp. I don’t use mobile, so I can’t tell you anything about that particular experience I’m afraid.

Jennkryst

@Pavel It’s fine. I got the timestamps on my computer, for the over/under bet on how long it would take me to bring up Mummy in the latest CoD/WoD game discussion. Thanks!
