There used to be a button somewhere that allowed you to delete your draft. Where is it now (or am I daft).

drafts are a bit broken, its on the list, in the mean time: https://lowendspirit.com/drafts

Not to be confused with the annoying autosave, it was actually always a bug, we just never saw it because caching was not enabled (also being fixed)

This is how it looks for ordinary user, not a provider... I guess.

The whole right column is gone.

yeah people with provider tags dont see the side bar on their provider profile and it's being inherited there too, fairly simple fix, its on the list.

So how upset is everyone going to be when the cest pit turns into a live chat?

Well, "add" the chat feature first. Dont "remove" cest pit for a month. That'll show if chat or cest pit is more popular. remove the one that is less popular?

somik · July 24

Also, I noticed that the "Karma" badge does not load when i post new message. It's there on page reloads though...

.

And on post edit, OG badge disappeared...

Your comment is far too logical. Burn it all down, @AnthonySmith.

yeah, its just not picked up in the local reload for you, everyone else sees it, but i get its "distracting," all part of the same issue, its on the list.

Here's to hoping the list stays bellow 50 items...

Or just have both - if a chat is introduced it's probably not a good idea to bring it in as a "cest pit" replacement.. plus I quite like a thread there that you can post non-thread worthy things into, even some of it is a bit spammy sometimes.

So if you upvote or downvote a post, you get one point taken away from yourself? Is that the way it works?
Do you only get points from upvotes, or are there other ways to gain points?

@AnthonySmithPlatinum said:
If you up or downvote someone using the arrows, you do not lose or gain any karma, they do gain or lose 1 point, if you use the "Give" function then that costs you however much you send them (maximum is 10)

So up/down for the voter, is basically just how you feel, the person you up/down vote gains or loses karma based on your vote.

Make sense?

Makes sense, thanks.

The direct link to manage notifications in not reachable from the UI is what I am trying to explain and demonstrate.

yes, understood. The fix is on the list, and the reason is known now. Thanks for the report. I was just giving you the link in case you needed it in the mean time.

Not sure if you are moving all of the theme stuff back to profile or just the vbulletin stuff.

Dark/light mode switch in nav would be great if it was one icon slot and not two, so you can just click it and click back to swap between.

Other than that my only gripe is the consistency between tags (new ones like Platinum and the Karma badge not really fitting the vibe of the old ones). Not a huge job I'm guessing.

I really like the provider profiles, it does seem like the OG profile editor is gone if you're not a standard user though. (Edit 2: By this/on top of this I can't click on a providers profile to see their threads made or comments)

Love the side bar, karma system is good, lots of other good stuff too

Edit: just read the other thread looks like this stuff is getting addressed already which is great

somik · July 24

I need a Ubuntu badge!

BTW, are you planning to add badges for all hosts? Tierhive?

Oh yeah, that's what it was. I can't seem to find where I can change my profile icon (not my company icon) and on other users I can't view their discussions/comments.

MichaelCee · July 24

@somikPlatinum said: BTW, are you planning to add badges for all hosts? Tierhive?

I was thinking of how host giveaways would work going forward. Obviously comment spam is no bueno, and I used to do them where you "thank" the original post. Not sure if that feels like a good option now there's a karma system, but maybe these badges could count as entries. E.G If you buy a DWH badge, you get an entry to a DWH giveaway. Or something. Not sure.

Not_Oles · July 24

@AnthonySmithPlatinum said: was kind of moving more towards not treating ["Free" offers] any differently rather than having a separate [offer posting category]. What's your thoughts @Not_Oles

LGTM! If I am misnderstanding something, as is highly likely, please ask again. @daffy @sh97 @FatGrizzly @msatt

At least 25 I think.

Not_Oles · July 24

Can we please continue to see "Last Active" in Provider profiles? Also their list of posts and their list of comments?

Maybe this raises an ambiguity whether the Last Active is for the main account or the latest appearance of any Team member. I vote for the main account.

Lately, when I have been buying servers, I have been considering activity here as a (usually) positive factor. Besides the Last Active, it's very helpful to have the post list and the comments list for each Provider. When a Provider actively supports the community here at LES with posts and comments, I am more likely to buy from that Provider!

tentor · July 24

Last active, last message, last offer post, any of this would serve the purpose @Not_Oles mentioned IMO

Or being able to check each individual provider representative user profile to see their messages

AnthonySmith · July 24

@Not_Oles @tentor sure we can do that, good ideas.

I like the whole Karma system implementation.

Being old as fuck, I have been on forums for a long time and I don't think any of the various forum software over the years ever really got it right, so I am interested to see how this "Reddit ft. vBulletin ft. Discourse" mashup will pan out.

Thank you for putting your time and effort into this Ant!

@arirang Happy to give you a couple of karma points so you can use them to get a badge for free or for whatever else you want. I am delighted to have you with us here at LES!

@AnthonySmith Hey, I tried giving karma, and it seemed to work! All while you probably are sleeping!

Go to https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/karmastore and redeem some badges. Dont forget to equip them.

nullnothere · July 25

Is anyone else also having a hard time with read-vs-unread posts on the main page when using the dark theme? I think it was much more readable in v1 when there were unread comments (the bolding was brighter it seems). Now the contrast between unread vs read discussions is not that distinct.
