I did some changes to the display of the shitbox.
  • rooms with unread messages don't blink anymore (private conversations do, however)
  • unread status "indicators" are now gray and green (from green and red) for read and unread rooms, respectively
  • more compact and legible room selection aka tab bar
  • no useless header bar, tab bar is the new header bar -- only for full-sized chat (page and popup)
It's not quite irssi 0.8.5 but it's slightly less appalling.

Minor nitpick that's still around: when viewing a post's ratings, on the "All" ratings tab...the first person listed looks good, but all the following people are missing any kind of top margin inside their box, so their text and rating icon are right up against the horizontal line.

We're working on it. XF2 doesn't auto pull user info out like XF1 did, so we have to do some shit so it gets the fields we need. Which we can then check and disable ads.
Also pretty low prio one and I assume along the same lines, but I'm guessing some sort of stats function is on the todo list?
Yes.

Keeping in mind I've had a Codex todo list going on 20 years now. :smug:

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
I want my sexy Codex devil on the forum page, not just the home page. Also, along with the ignore stats page for each user, we need to bring back the post breakdown stats page with their top ten most brofisted posts.

More nitpicking : on the forum the troll image on the top left overlaps the "home > etc" navigation bar :

So I actually have to click on the lower part of the text to move around, else I'm being directed to the roll page. It is annoying.

Should be mostly fixed in the popup and the ratings received profile page (hopefully without introducing regressions in the post's rating list and the rating menu). But ratings within the horizontal scroller are still somewhat misaligned vertically, and it's too involved to fully fix.

Done.

Some things that are still bugging me:

Something is up with the rate button on mobile. If there is a link or picture right above it, it will click that every time instead of the rating button. Maybe it needs to be moved down a few pixels? It's definitely not because I'm fat fingering as I've tested the hell out of this one.

Editing quotes seems to work much better on mobile than desktop. You just hit backspace until the text and quote box are gone. On PC you have to delete the text and then press shift+backspace to delete the quote box, which is ultra retarded. I wouldn't have even figured that out if it hadn't been mentioned in this thread.

Hitting the quoting button in the editor toolbar also works to get rid of a quote, don’t necessarily need to know about that shift+backspace thing.

Link me to a post where that happens.

Fixing the editor in any serious capacity is a tough ask.

Here's a post I just found where it happens. When I touch the rating button the screen scrolls up a little and then opens the tweet in a new tab. If I close the tab and then try to press the button a second time it works fine. With that particular post it's inconsistent. I had to refresh the page a few times and scroll around a bit before trying to get it to happen. It's far most consistent with images. I would think it's my device except that it only happens on the codex and only with the rate button. https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads...ops-with-me-as-i-broke-it.135823/post-7995166

Yeah I wouldn't expect you to dive into that code. I just figured since it works the way you would expect on mobile there must be some kind of setting that was overlooked which could make it work the same way on desktop.

Grab the Codex by the pussy Pathfinder: Wrath
Post's ratings not being sorted by count is a slight inconvenience, you have to pause for a fraction of a second to know what's the general feel towards some of the posts.

Alright, so now how's the rating bar and the rating menu?
Might be better if you could just click on a button on the rating bar to add to it, if possible. So if someone already has 3 or 4 ratings and someone wanted to just add a quick rating they could just click the one they like instead of it going to list. Then just have a "list" after the button bar to see ratings like on old forum.

sometimes I can't delete quotes from the edit window and have to change to the raw BB code editor to remove them, is this a known issue?

trying to backspace them causes the following text to enter the quote itself

That is actually a good idea. Should be not too difficult to link the rating links to given ratings images either. And a 'list' link to the side to see who rated what.
