Mucho appreciated.

The annoying thing was I had to try two pics. It pissed me off because in the first pic, the "bike" was clearly a moped-like thing, so I didn't click on any of the squares. AND THEY TREATED IT LIKE I WAS WRONG!!!

You think they're bad, just wait until phase 2 on my launch plan. Y'all are screwed.

I updated the "X members online" to include those that are just viewing the site. I never really put much thought into it previously, and it only counted those that had actively posted in the last 15 minutes.

Has anyone used the search feature yet? I know it's broken on mobile. Any issues on a computer?

I'm also considering tying into native browser notifications so you can be notified if someone quotes you or tags your name in a post.

I will probably always be seen on the "members online" list because I never log out.

You have to be actively clicking around the site to show up. If you do nothing for 15 minutes you'll fall off the list of online members.

And the reason I deleted a post is that I wanted to edit, but I don't see any edit button and I'm sure there WAS one a while ago.

There was. I just haven't added one back since the entire nature of posting has changed. I just haven't taken the time to solve that problem yet. The delete feature was MUCH easier to add.

How can I delete OTHER’S posts? For example if I hate what they have to say because it’s so dumb and I want it gone. 


Tysm for your prompt attention to this question.

Enable that function from the start and you would have zero posts.


Just saying what everyone else is thinking....

I just realized there is no New Thread button on mobile. I’ll figure out a spot to put it tomorrow.

New Threads can now be created on mobile from the main menu accessible by tapping on your avatar. I also pushed a few other cleanup items, there was no styling on the login or register buttons. Also made the login, register, change password, and change email forms full screen on mobile, not that those will get much use.

Aside from editing posts, and fixing search on mobile, what else needs work? Anyone (Laley?) still getting double scrollbars on the right side on specific browsers? I've tested all windows and mac browsers and they all looked great for me. I might do a little more work for the dark mode version, I'll start a poll later on to get feedback on that update before I put any time into it. That won't happen until at least next week.

I'm pretty happy with the way the site is working these days. The fact that the site actually loads on ever single visit is so freaking nice. Everything seems to run quickly. I love that tweets now embed directly.

You can’t on mobile, yet. Unless you turn your phone sideways for a second.

Bitch move, justin, to lock threads because you don’t like the conversation 

Either shut the site down, or allow the 11 people on the site to argue with each other. Deleting posts and locking threads because you aren’t a fan of the conversation? Weak sauce.

What would you like us to discuss on the rioting/protesting thread? Not rioting and protesting?

I would like you to not call each other pieces of shit.

It’s a simple request and you continue to ignore it.
