Life after XF1 - Test

[AnOminous]

On the old site, the only threads that would populate that page were ones with new comments. Now you see every single thread you follow, so the page is quite long. It would be nice if the threads with new comments would be at the top of the list, because now they are interspersed and it is really jumbled. There's no way to sort the list so that it is organized.

I like it better now because on the old page it had a hard limit of 50 and you couldn't go any further.

Also it's in order, it's just in date order.

Also it's in order, it's just in date order.

I think it would look much better ordered by threads with new posts at the top, rather than mixed all together as they are now, just my opinion.

More on avatar smooshing.

Forum header at 100% zoom. Avatar is smooshed

At 125% zoom - this is enough to hide the side bars on this machine (Mac with Chrome Version 72.0.3626.119 (Official Build) (64-bit)).

No smooshing

100% zoom but with width toggled to hide the side bars

I.e. it seems like hiding the side bars by zooming produces a non smooshed avatar. Or perhaps tablet mode doesn't smoosh avatars but desktop mode does.

Actually zoomed mode is pretty neat. It's quick to get to, Ctrl/Command++, hides the sidebars and generally declutters the UI, and it seems to be sticky so you don't need to keep doing it.

If I look at that I see this

It looks like it's getting the coordinates wrong for the sprite sheet with the reaction icons in it.

This is on a Mac with Chrome Version 72.0.3626.119 (Official Build) (64-bit), zoom at 125%.

Though if I zoom back to 100% I still see corruption. So it's not because I'm a Zoomer.

Inspect element on the corrupt icon here

shows

I think this means the offset into the spritesheet is 21px

Now look at the spritesheet

https://kiwifarms.pa/styles/dark/ratings/spritesheet.png

I'm pretty sure those are 16px high, not 21px, which is why the sprite sheet pickin' calculation is wrong.

Looking at the CSS it looks like there's some confusion - there should be a 'Medium' sprite sheet with 21px icons and a (presumably) Small sprite sheet with 16px icons. I think the sprite sheet pickin' calculation is set for 21px but the actual sprite sheet is 16px.

If we all used assembly to build 640 x 480 x 16 colour images like God told Terry Davis rather than trying to support heathen alternative resolutions and bit depths, this sort of thing would not happen.

Honestly though, this is a pretty minor bug.

Edit if I use ffmpeg to simulate extracting a 16x16px image from (0,21px) like this

ffmpeg -i spritesheet.png -vf "crop=16:16:0:21" agree.png

cribbed from here - the numbers are w:h:x:y

I get this :

I can't see the media under the nudes spoiler in this thread: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/steve-shives.17943/ I want to know if the guy has a penis or not.

Windows 10, Chrome, but looks like it's because of this or a previous forum upgrade.

I had a look at the avatar CSS. To do this you need to Inspect Element in Chrome. Unfortunately when you do that the site switches to tablet mode and the avatar unsmooshes itself. So Inspect Element and then scroll to 90% or whatever it takes on your screen to see the smooshing.

Do an inspect element on your avatar

Chrome helpfully tells you the x and y size of the avatar. They should be 24px by 24px and you get 7px by 24 px, aka 'smooshed'.

I fiddled around with the CSS. On thing that does fix it is to take out box-sizing : border-box on the * element, admittedly a bit of a drastic change

E.g.

Disabled

* {
/* box-sizing: border-box; */
}

Vs

Enabled

* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}

If it was my website would I do this? Hell no! Still there's probably a less drastic way to fix the layout.

I can't really figure out how the bounding box gets sized wrong.

One thing I did notice is that if you disable this

body{
/* font-size: 1.4rem; */
}

The smooshing goes away.

An additional data for what @Gustav Schuchardt has reported:

Full screened Firefox browser, macbook, 1920x1080. The length of my username eats up the icon entirely. In general, a very minor issue that I didn't even notice until I read their posts.

 

[LuthienTinuviel]

Dunno if this is the right place to do it, and I have no idea how to proceed, but might as well give it a try. Worst thing that'll happen to me anyway is being told no and being laughed at - and for the latter, I probably deserve it anyway.

@madethistocomment posted on my behalf in the Technical Grievances 2 thread, but since we weren't getting any replies, I just went ahead and made myself a new account, after spending many days having trouble doing that because of the captcha verification (it's fine now). Basically, when the forum had its update, I couldn't log back into my old account, nor the email, because even if I had saved both on my browser, it forgot both for some reason after the update.

I can stick with this account in the worst case scenario, but I was wondering if it was possible to get my old one @Luthien back. I can prove to the staff it's really me without a problem. Is there anything that can be done? If not, I totally understand. Thanks!

 

[AlexJonesGotMePregnant]

I just noticed that when quoting a post with embedded pictures that the reply box now displays the images. This is a really nice improvement- for threads like ArchivistBex, Zinnia or Rhys Mckinnon where there are a billion tweet screen shots, it's way faster to find the specific tweet/tweets that I want to respond to.

I know that others have said it but in general I'm really happy with the XF2 upgrade and am impressed with how smoothly the transition has gone. Major software upgrades are a massive pain and @Null has done a great job on tackling this alone. heers:

I want the ratings to go back to the way they were before this update.

Agree, seeing the names of people who rated a post looks kinda cluttered, especially on mobile.

Please post in the Talk to Staff forum with as much information as you can.
Please be thorough, as accounts being merged/recovered is not entirely a thing that the staff generally does.
In this situation, if nothing else, its at least worth a shot, as many people lost their 'main' accounts with the changeover and having used flat out fake emails or suchnot.

Null actually said in chat a couple days ago he was waiting for new rating sprites to implement. It'll be fixed when those come out

 

[Remove Goat]

I think you might want to reconsider giving everyone , since it seems like everyone's using it instead of , and it kinda feels like it's been cheapened as a result.

There's a certain magic to a rating for "I'll drink to that!" that's kinda ruined by everyone using it instead of an emote for "I like this better than ", ya know?

ffmpeg -i spritesheet.png -vf "scale=21:-1" -sws_flags lanczos spritesheet_21px.png

It's a bit fuzzy but it's usable as a placeholder. Here's a bicubic version

ffmpeg -i spritesheet.png -vf "scale=21:-1" -sws_flags bicubic spritesheet_21px_bc.png

Not really clear if that is any less fuzzy.

Chopping out 21x21 images at n*21 y coordinates seems to work

ffmpeg -i spritesheet_21px.png -vf "crop=21:21:0:21" agree_21px.png

very minor graphical nitpick, but it seems like the idea guys's thread prefix doesn't show correctly anymore (it used to be with a bright red background and black text)
