I keep opening a thread and all the comments will constantly shuffle, and upvoting causes a comment to disappear somewhere else in the thread.
I try to sort by Top too and it will work for a few seconds before shuffling back to whatever default there is or New, despite still saying it's sorting by Top.
Miserable trying to read one thread on here.
hello! i've reverted the fix we attempted that appears to have made things worse. this should be live soon. it'll go back to the previous behavior, which isn't desirable either, but we have devs working hard to move to react where we can apply a proper fix :)
Would you fix the live sort happening when a user is typing a comment? I just wrote a reply and the thread resorted my text box off screen three times, that is incredibly frustrating.
we really would love to. we've dedicated quite a bit of time lately to building mod tools which has left some critical bug fixes falling to the wayside. we're in the process of merging the upstream code into our current code. once that's done, we can move forward with the react conversion for the frontend so we can have a wider span of tooling that we need to address live update bugs.
Not gonna lie I feel like user tools and eliminating bugs is WAY more important than mod tools when starting.
Like, I can use a usable site that has some unmoderated comments, this is chapo, I get it and can take it. The downvote system is a self-moderation system for that.
But a site that deletes your comment on thread auto-refresh or when you get a new inbox reply? Unusable.
No point in modding tools for a site with barely any users and shrinking daily, you know?
we were forced to dedicate time to that tooling to make it easier for moderators to handle the spam so that they can actually spend time promoting and posting on their communities.
please realize, all of the developers use the site too, we're just as annoyed by these bugs as you are.
Part of the problem is that comments will re-sort if you upvote one, which is confusing. Upvoting shouldn't trigger the whole comment section to render, just the once comment.
Not even the one comment! Makes tracking a thread you're reading so much harder, I feel so lost when it does that and just end up closing the site.
can you confirm that it is indeed worse than before? i believe we attempted a bandaid fix to help until the react conversion is in. if it's not helpful, we can revert it.
thanks. i'll see about getting it reverted or that fixed (if its easy enough) asap. sorry i haven't been as active on !feedback@hexbear.net. work related burnout :(
I've been getting the jumping comments even when sorting by old.
over the next day, please let me know if it gets any better or what changes. we're about to push the revert of the previous fix live.
On top of that, every new page seems to shoot me to the top or the bottom of the full page for no reason
Commenting is a migrane and a half with it resorting the text box you're typing in OFFSCREEN multiple times.
It's trash and I hate it. It should not sort again when a comment in up/down voted
As I was reading this post the front page updated and shot it away from my screen lmao
Mine or yours? Because a LOT of mine is about issues had while just trying to use this site a simple forum, from censoring to browsing.
My text box jumped offscreen twice while typing this, also disabling the selection so it didn't continue writing what I was typing.
I can't imagine using this site for more than half an hour with issues like this, it's like it was built to be broken. These are literally the features I'd put in to fuck with people.
