Patrick saysOK, I fixed all the bugs found so far and re-deployed the node version.
Nope. Still has the "new comments" bug.
Tell me more about this bug.
I could have logic that says "if you were just on the previous page of comments, and it was not a full page since it was at the beginning, then go to the next unread comment on the next page".
OK, not that hard, on the list.
ou should set up URL forwarding rules on the new site so that the old URLs to threads will go to the URLs used by the new site. For example, the path for the Funny Pictures thread on the old site was /1200568/2011-12-09-funny-picture-thread whereas the path on the new site is /post/1200568/funny-picture-thread.OK, the old site links work now. Not a redirection, just one line of code that adds in /post if the url starts with a number.
4. The thread where you just posted a comment will be marked "new comments" even though you just read it, including the comment you posted.
When I'm finished reading comment #40, and I hit next, and you jump me to a page with comments 8-47, is there any way to start me 80% down the page at comment #41?
All versions of patnet have always done this...

Not working on my phone.

Thanks for telling me.
What happens? What do you mean by no working?

Phone can't even reach the site!
Damn. Just got burned on the switch back. 3 paragraphs on electric vehicles that I'll never get back on that AAA post. By the timing of your comment I probably missed it by 2 minutes. No biggie, but it was probably the best writing I've ever done.
This is far fetched I imagine. But is there anyway to display an icon for a post that is actively being commented on? More specifically, a user is typing in a response to a post or comment. Kind of similar to the iphone or other messenger services where you can tell the other person is typing. And maybe a gauge or something to show the response if multiple people are typing responses? Maybe show the number of people typing comments or a speedometer type gauge that goes up as more people are typing? This would be cool in a forum atmosphere like this, probably more effective with a bigger active user base, but I'm guessing it's far fetched as I mentioned.
Obviously a lot of comments on a post show activity. It would just be cool if in real time it showed who was in the act of responding. Could be dumb, but just checking to see if this chunk of shit I was throwing would stick to the wall.

That's actually a brilliant idea, and not all that hard with my newfound javascript skills!
I'll try to do it. But first, I'm bringing ignore back. Almost done with that.
Sorry about the loss of text, but I don't see how it happened. Why should you have lost anything due to the switch? The sites work almost the same. Back button didn't recover it?
Dan, sorry about the loss, but I don't see how it happened. Why should you have lost anything due to the switch? The sites work almost the same.
I could be wrong, but I think you thought my comment about about the lost comment was Dan (jesus, I've reread this 8 times and I don't know how to word it better). I was typing in a long response in the AAA post from earlier today, that I believe I started on the node version. When I clicked to finalize the post there was some error message about no thread or comment and all my text disappeared. I then came here and saw you said you where switching back because of bugs. So I assume my comment box was on the node version when I started typing and prior to finalizing you switched it back to the php version. I'm guessing I clicked post (or whatever it is) after you switched back to php and that's why the error message came up. No biggie, I ultimately got my wisdom out there in that thread.
I keep checking. No ignore,yet?
You can ignore people by clicking their icon or username and then click "ignore" on their page.
@Patrick, you got rid of ban. Tolls being ignored can still comment on the author's thread. Ignore is a worthless function. We need ban.
Dan8267 says@Patrick, you got rid of ban.

I disagree, it is so much better to just hit ignore and remove all the noise from the excess posters (spammers).
