Site Bugs?

Returns me to the index page, still darkened. I suspect it’s a user css incompatibility, but I’m not sure what might trigger it.

Upload fail: over 4096 kb message given

Looks like we have a new posting limit for Upload files. Is this a Cafe tweak, or a general Discourse change? Because I seem to remember the limit was 3 MB before.

It’s a default, but it might be a new(ish) one. Given the note about Apache/nginx, I’m not sure if changing this alone will correct it.

What would be a more reasonable limit?

I’m not complaining, since it’s larger than the previous default. But I just noticed that and thought I’d test it, since I think it changed… or maybe I’m thinking of TOP. (Those are probably the only two Discourse sites I use.)

I’ve definitely seen the message at BB more frequently.

We’re doing OK on space, so I’m not against increasing the limit if people are running up against it enough to be an annoyance.

I’d like to see a plugin or some other functionality that re-encodes gifs into a more efficient format similar to what jwz did. It would be fascinating to see how that would affect our storage needs.

Why no one-box?

I have used 2 different links, one-box always worked before.

Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!

Just got a “no more than three consecutive replies allowed” message when trying to post to Wanderthread.

Bumped to 1337. This is a “helpful” feature intended for large general interest boards, no idea at what point is was introduced.

I just upgraded to the latest version last night. That’s probably the culprit.

Now I can go from this site to another, and use the back button to return! The problem of not being able to do this has disappeared. (The error message may have changed over the months, but I haven’t kept track.)

Maybe they fixed it in that upgrade.

“Body seems unclear. Is it a complete sentence?”

Yes. Fuck off, bot, and stop punching me with your fucking flashing punches to my weak meatbag brain.

Is that an error message that’s triggered by something?

GENERALLY TRIGGERED BY ALL-CAPS COMMENT.

In my case, by asking R1?

That’s my guess.

Somewhat OT, but a design change to Discourse in the latest beta is driving me up the fucking wall. It’s such a relief to come here and see things back to how I expect them.

More here:

(Unsurprising response from Jeff is unsurprising.)

I don’t know about you all but I can’t say I’ve ever been all like, “Discourse is great but I simply can’t keep track of what thread I’m reading!”

I occasionally forget the thread I’m in. No biggie. If I really care I’ll click on the post count thingy at the bottom and there it is.

I’d have to use it, but initial thoughts are with you and that it would be a detraction.

I’ll hold off on updating to beta5 at least until after the side panel change is in place. Hopefully that will make the overall experience better.

Keep me posted on this. I can hold the update for a while, but not indefinitely.

Don’t hold off on my account - do whatever makes sense for you. :slight_smile:
