Welcome to the new site

Also, it doesn't seem to be working on mobile yet, but if you hover your cursor over the rep counter a box will fade in showing you who has repped or negged a post. And a reminder that "0" doesn't mean it hasn't been repped or negged, it could have both which would cancel out the counter. I might add some sort of notifier that shows any post that has been repped or negged, but not sure how or what that would be. Any ideas would be great.

Same on iPhone. But it shows up as a pop up type thing and blocks the text block below.

Or whatever is below the current post. And it doesn't go away.

Can you tap outside of the popup to close it? I'll add so you can tap the actual popup to close it.

Hey I noticed the politics forum is just QO and Spock seeing who's better at deep-throating Trump. Pls fix thank u. 

Ah, it was mainly that on the old site, too. Kind of like a persistent illness you just can't kick and every time you think you're over it, you have a relapse.

It worked to click on the text box. But not anywhere else on the screen. 

Pushed a change so you should be able to tap the rep list to close it. Also changed up the style a little bit, I didn't love the gray box. Give it a few hours and you should see the change.

It baffles me that you can make these changes so quickly. I know nothing about programming, but I'm impressed with what you're doing, whether it's difficult or not.

This is a nice feature.

The quickness/ease in which I can add a new feature is really dependent on what the feature is. Most requests have been pretty quick and easy, but the issue with timestamps (for non-EST users) is lingering because it's a difficult issue to solve. I've been doing this sort of stuff for a long time, so that definitely helps. It's also the reason I've been very anxious to develop the site software myself, because the software it was on was so cumbersome to manage. I can build out this place to suit our needs as they come up instead of relying on outdated software that basically dictates what you need and how you need it.

Apologies if you weren't logged in and tried to access the site and got an error screen.

I've considered that, but I don't necessarily like removing viewing area from the page. That said, I'm not against it. I definitely need to add a scroll to top button that puts you back to the top of the page so you don't have to scroll.

just tap any number on the page bar ( except the one you are on)  It will launch you tho the top of the page. No scrolling 

Sorry if this has been addressed or already fixed and I'm still noob but will we ever able to see more than 20 replies per page?

It's currently a global configuration and set to 20 per page. I can look to making it a user based setting in the future.

If you were having issues on your phone yesterday trying to tap into the editor box, I've fixed that issue. The joys of rapid development, breaking shit with reckless abandon.

Just an FYI, I am aware the user listed with the latest post link on the homepage is incorrect. In an effort to optimize the homepage (I reduced the load by over 100 queries) I inadvertently last the relationship with the correct user. I'm tired so I'll fix it or put the old code back in tomorrow.

I did update the trending threads section, it now lists the 4 threads with the most posts in the previous 24 hours.

Eh, I got annoyed with it so I fixed it. My 100 query reduction is only about 75 queries now, but that's better than nothing. I'm still not happy with how many it takes to load the homepage, but it doesn't appear to be an issue yet.
