@fraize - I thought I'd let you know that several people have been noticing that we're having to click on a Reaction more than once to get it to stick. I noticed this a few months back. At first I thought I was losing my mind when a bunch of posts I KNEW I had Reacted to don't have a Reaction from me. Long story short... I've asked others in a small group if they've noticed and about half of them have, so... it's not just me. Something's going on.

Also, the others who have noticed thought it could be this issue or that, but none of what they were thinking are the issue (wireless, slow connectivity, and/or being on multiple devices) as none of those apply to me (I'm not wireless, I have fast connectivity, and I only have one device (desktop)).

FYI...

Thanks. This is a known bug filed with the company that wrote the software.

I see three of you (TY @Curious Me, @Megnut, and @iamshadow21!!) posting questions for @Joseph Scott Morgan, but we need more! A lot more!

Want to know more about JSM? Watch this interview!

Just added a little extra flavor to the error message.

 

[Gemmie]

One more thing that's going on, as I see it with your last post too. A lot of white space between our signatures and the Report button. Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not. See example below. X marks a lot of white space that shouldn't be there. I put a teal line to separate 2 posts to show you all that white space in my sig space on the top post, and what it's supposed to look like in the example below the blue line. Big difference. Justa FYI.

I've now run into it several times, as have others who said they have too. Why would we be getting that error msg when posting in a DM? For reference, I THINK I might have tried to post a 2nd post before waiting the full 20 seconds.

I've tweaked the error page a bit more, @Gemmie - let me know if you get it again, and send me a screenshot.

 

[Curious Me]

@fraize, please, my stars at the bottom of all my posts were horizontal in a row, and are now vertical? What happened? It's showing like that on all my posts on the Orange-Black, but not on the Beta Dark theme. What happened?​

 

[Curious Me]

Oh, something else changed. @fraize, profile names within a post are not showing up blue anymore in the Orange-Black theme. My stars are taking up so much space! ​

I have trouble with Orange - Black too, some things that used to be blue are now black: usernames, both on the left side of the screen, where the profile details are listed and on the posts reaction bar. on the main page all the thread links are black now too, and also in the alerts dropdown, along with username there too. Come to think about it, the only place I see the blue now is the username in the quoted text. I miss my blue

Another issue I’ve noticed happening today is that when I insert an emoji it automatically goes to the next row, I can’t move it next to the text I’ve written.

ETA some fonts have changed too, all the links on the main page and the text under profile names. The font for the messages stayed the same.

@iulia @Gemmie now you see why when I say I can't maintain Black-Orange forever, I wasn't kidding! It's going to take me a while to dig in to what's happening. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll put it on the list.

The unread thread titles are also thicker bold, not as nice to look at when there’s a whole page of them.

Thank you so very much. I understand that I'll have to say goodbye at some point, but man I'm not ready for it. Guess I'll never be so I really really appreciate the effort you are making. If possible, just let us know when it's no longer doable, like "this is the last fix" so we can grieve it properly and enjoy it for however long it lasts.

It's lost on the blue background too. Hyperlinks, if that's what they're called, are all black (dark grey), user names and posts, in notifications. They used to be highlighted to stand out.

Thank you for all your work on this -- and your responsiveness! Giving you an honorary badge for being sleepless.

When you press on Alerts, the word post has lost its hyperlink.

I can stick click on the black "post" and it takes me to the post, it's just not blue anymore, sigh..
