NodeBB 0.9.0 Has Dropped
-
Some of the things that have moved backwards over the past year or so:
- Imgur posting was broken for a bit, it's back now but was unreliable and inconsistent.
- Video embedding used to work beautifully now it is only marginally functional. It plays videos but they are tiny and don't fill their embedded space.
- Mobile experience is garbage. You can't do what we could do last summer (15 months ago!) Huge steps backwards there.
- Getting to bottom of thread is impossible.
- Dismissing pointless alerts is next to impossible.
- Screen is full of pointless alerts that we don't need.
- Posting requires just "knowing" tricks as the mobile editor jumps around, does blind things, isn't stable, etc.
- Search was mildly functional a year ago, now it is completely useless. We have to search via Google. Adding keywords makes search worse rather than filtering results. Results come as "least useful" rather than "best match."

What happened to categories? there's no water cooler now everything is in one place.

It's still there. You just select it while posting. That was a day or two ago. Nothing to do with updates.

We also have a GitHub bug reported for the NodeBB Upgrade...
-
Videos are still borked in 0.9.0

While I don't mind the landing page being the recent postings list, but Mango icon should take us to the list of groups. The lack of that shortcut seems more like a hindrance than not. I wasn't expecting the Mango shortcut to change when I voted to change the landing page.

It didn't, it's always been a link to the landing page. It would be really weird if the home page and the link to the home page went different places.

Did you check the categories button to see where that goes?

I just read about it.. so that solves my concern.
-
It is going to break some stuff but things are slow and our platform has been updated. We are making the leap up to NodeBB 0.9.0. Hold on, here we go.

nice new reply notification..
-
but wtf is this... it appears on the right top corner of a new post/reply then fades out
-
That, from what we could tell (and how the heck did you manage to get a screen cap of it!!) it is an "unread post" indicator so that you can tell which posts ML thinks that you have or have not seen.

greenshot ftw.. it "pauses" your screen when you hit the button.

Mine doesn't. Often takes up to 30 seconds for it to react and if I do anything I'll end up off of the screen that I was on. Sometimes I forget about it and it pops up for me when I'm doing something completely different. So yours is really fast? Mine varies a lot, but is never exactly instant but probably two seconds when fast, thirty on average and has certainly had times where it was two to five minutes - enough that I was quite surprised when it popped up and had no idea why I had originally hit it.

What version are you on? I had issues like that a few versions ago.
Currently on this version

1.2.6 Build 12. I just installed it recently when we were discussing it. It was the latest at the time, I believe.
-
Updated now. 1.2.7 B2 now. So far it pops up instantly. I'll let you know if it turns slow again.

@sc
Still getting this. I do not on the nodeBB forum. so I assume it is a setting someplace that may need updated?

Also having an issue getting the names to pop correctly. Going to try and kill my browser in a minute.
I hit @ then s and I see this.
