Feature Requests [OLD]

Feature request. Especially important for mobile users in threads with heavy amounts of quotes. It only takes 5-6 quotes before the quoted text starts to appear one letter at a time. As is on page 3 of this thread, it takes 6-9 swipes to reach the bottom of the page on my cellphone. And would probably come in handy on pc as well. So I was wondering about a "Go to top" button. Either somewhere discrete on every post. Or at least at the bottom of the thread by the reply box or page numbers. Also, Chat can act a bit wonky on mobile. When you click on a user's icon at the top of the screen their name appears behind the chat and you can't read any of the text.

How about a limit to the amount of spoilers that you can have nested? Geez, I've seen that abused left and right.

Oh right that bug still exists. Huh.

Mmm but usually they'll end up deleted. I'm not sure actively limiting the maximum is a solution that needs to happen.

That chat bug doesn't happen on any browser I've ever tested, including crappy ones like the 3DS. IDK what to say about it... is your browser REALLY REALLY old? As for the quoting thing, I'd rather not have something like that cluttering up each message. I can probably do one near the bottom. I can also condense the padding on quotes for smaller screens, and maybe just automatically hide quotes that go deeper than X levels.

TIL: 24 quotes per page, reading at one letter of text per line isn't clutter. But a "go to top" button next to the edit and quote buttons is clutter.

We could just have all of the quotes (except for the bottom level, maybe) collapsed by default.

The bottom two would allow you to show more context, to see if you have to open up the upper chains. But it still doesn't solve the dozen or so swipes it takes to get back to the top in a wall of text, quote heavy thread. Now, if I'm the only user who visits 90% of the time on mobile then I'll just deal with it. It's not like I'm gonna wear out my thumbs swiping up and down.

I've always found giant quote chains to be a bother, you aren't alone (especially if half the chain doesn't relate to the current discussion.) Just allowing them to be collapsed would be good enough.

It's not that you're the "only person who browses on mobile", it's just that I don't think the quote problem is as widespread as you'd believe. You're the first person to point it out, and on the phones I've tested, I haven't gotten to single character widths with even 6 levels of quotes. Thus, I don't want to add extra clutter to something like 95% of threads and users who don't have this problem just to fix the small amount that do. There are other solutions which either only impact deep quotes or only small devices. There's always more than one solution to a problem like this. I'm going to go with the solution that has the least negative impact.

Could you add functionality to use an avatar stored on your own web server? It shouldn't be too hard to implement, as Chat already uses a full-fledged URL for avatars.

Your solution may be http://smilebasicsource.com/userhome "All other UI size * * = Device-specific setting"

This is abusable. A url input for avatar upload is possible, but even that seems like a not good.

No, because of mixed security. If the website you use for the link doesn't support https but our page is loaded with https, you'll get an error. Same with the other direction: some websites may only support https, but our website can be browsed without it, so you'll get a mixed security error as well.

I figured it out. I use the default Web browser on a samsung galaxy s4. In the chrome browser it works just fine. I'll look into the quotes to see if they go down to 1 letter per line. I assume they won't as random has tested it, but it's worth a shot. I know there's some spam spoiler abusers on this site that have some real Janky threads.

@LacksAgency OK I think I've come up with a solution that should work (unless the quote depth is stupidly large). The left margin on quotes will shrink when the screen is small. Hopefully that'll fix most problems; if necessary, I can also get the auto-collapsing to work.

Lol you should have quoted me so we could start a quote chain to test it :p But I'm 99% sure the problem was exactly what you said. I'm using a crappy, old, outdated, and ignored Web browser. The Samsung default browser. Switching to chrome fixed the chat "problem." And Lumage's switch to small ui trick did a world of wonders for making everything more mobile friendly.

IDK, I like everything to be large and easy to read, so that's why the default is a bit larger than usual. The automatic collapsing of quotes works great. I'll push it soon.

Could there be a possiblity of custom CSS (and/or user themes)? There are some minor annoyances appearing left and right for me.

Probably not; that's really hard both to implement and for users to use (there's dozens of stylesheets that you'd have to overwrite). What's annoying you? You make it sound like everything is bad lol.
