  • Not so fast on styling images. It may not be the best solution for the general case.

    If I want to quote some text it seems like I have to click the icon on the left side and click quote first. If I want to infer that something was a quote from some one else I can't copy paste the content, highlight it and then click quote. Instead, I would have to have the content copied, click the quote button and then click paste.

    I would say this is a pretty low severity issue but I didn't find it intuitive the first time. I also don't know if that's just me. If I am writing an email in Gmail I can highlight text that is inside my email and then click quote to show that text as quoted so I think that's part of why I expect it to work like that.

  • I just found out about the quotes functionality no longer working through a reactions button :(


    I've had a lot of positive feedback about this feature from Lithium and Jive customers. Both platforms have a really unintuitive system for quoting multiple posts.


    It's looks great in the editor itself though!

  • @JoeF Did we explicitly say we're getting rid of that quote addon? I know it was breaking the site at first but I just thought we turned it off until the time that it is fixed.


    Also, on the topic of quotes, please look at my 2 screenshots from a post I just made.

    This is me editing my comment, the bullet points are not part of the quote here.

    This is after saving. It shows as if I intended to quote it.

    Quoting will definitely be getting some love in the next sprint.


    @BrendanParmThat screenshot you posted is definitely an bug and will need to get resolved as well.


    Additionally there is this post that is broken

    https://staff.vanillaforums.com/discussion/417/githubs-hub-tool-is-pretty-great#latest

    Seems to be the same issue as @BrendanParm s post above, although in this case resulting in an unhandled exception.

    Something I just realized is that when you link a comment/discussion from the forum it provides a nice embed functionality so you can read the content of that post directly in the post you are in. However, I think it would also make sense if the URL somehow was there or if there was a way to click the embed to go to the original URL. For example, If I link to a useful discussion, you have no way of getting to that discussion to read the comments


    https://staff.vanillaforums.com/discussion/433/automatically-archiving-content#latest

    Not sure why I can't embed the URL now.

  • @BrendanParm and I noticed this on another thread, and think it is worth mentioning.

    If you paste a link to another discussion/comment it embeds, which is awesome. But there is no link to that discussion, you only see it in the email notifications. Seems problematic?

    Example:

  • Any plans to add emoji search like Discourse?

  • The library we use already has keywords for them. The annoying part is having them all translated and indexed for all locales.

    Quick summary here because a few things noted about quotes did change:

    • You can now select multiple lines and hit quote.
    • The quote "reaction" creates an embed of that comment/discussion.
    • Embedding the URL of a comment or discussion embeds that comment/discussion.
    • The title of the discussion and link will both be added to these embed quotes before the end of the sprint.
  • @Adam Charron via Kevin of ArenaNet fame I have found what I think is a fairly large bug. You cannot click into the text box to send a message to a user when using the Warning & Notes functionality. It gives an infiite load loop when hovering over the text box. It appears you can't warn without sending a message either as the error message reads body required. The warning pop up also appears to be weirdly formatted.

  • Hey guys, @BrendanParm's client Glu emailed in asking for this to be turned on on staging, but at the moment you cannot click into the text field https://glu-trial.vanillastaging.com/home/post. On hover, it's just the arrow + blue beach ball (can't seem to get it to record on a screencast or shot).

    Not sure if this should go over to @Katie and services or if you guys know what's up.

  • Are they running a hub/node setup?

  • Hey @Adam Charron doesn't look that way to me...

  • It seems to be working after a recent deploy.

  • I'm trying to test sharing a post from another thread. It's not working on staging.

    And I get a 403 on the staff forum....

  • Not working on stage, but working on my demo site...creating a github issue
