Tavern on the Meta

but no, the mobile chat version doesn't acknowledge "user has seen the ping" like the desktop version does, because it's very easy to not actually see one in the mobile version

I asked Marc if you could consider the user posting a new message as acknowledgement a while back, but I don't think anything came of it.

balpha

I would veto that

Tim Stone

Oh, that's...disappointing.

balpha

on a phone you see maybe 5-10 messages if you're unlucky -- no way we will treat speaking in that situation as acknowledging

HodofHod

@balpha I guess what I'd like is for the app not to keep giving me Android notifications while I'm chatting. If they go into the inbox, I'm fine, they can even remain unread, if they must.

Tim Stone

Meh, it's totally better than having my inbox regurgitate a conversation I already had to me when the message I'm replying to is only a message or two back a majority of the time.

balpha

6:22 AM

@HodofHod How would the app know what you're doing in the browser?

@TimStone acknowledging the last few (essentially, the visible ones) I can get on board with.

HodofHod

@balpha Magic?

Or this?

Q: Reading notification on website should clear native Android notification

I think it would be nice if you read an inbox notification on the desktop version of the site, it should dismiss the native Android notification in the system tray. It seems kind of weird when I come back to my phone an hour later, and find a bunch of notifications I thought a dealt with... and c...

Tim Stone

@balpha I suppose I should have been more clear that I didn't expect anything more than that. :P

I don't mind it playing safe, but having no acknowledgement ever makes having an active conversation fairly annoying.

HodofHod

6:41 AM

@balpha You essentially said that you won't automatically clear inbox based on actions in the mobile chat. The implication is that you can. All I want is to use that to prevent native Android notifications. The inbox will remain untouched.

balpha

all the android app does is look at the inbox

I have an idea though, I'm playing with it right now

HodofHod

Thanks, let me know, please :)

balpha

8:22 AM

@TimStone @HodofHod What do you think? Just click (tap) the message to remove the marker and acknowledge the message

Tim Stone

8:50 AM

@balpha I could get on board with that :)

balpha

it's building out right now

@balpha ...

I want to be able to vote on posts from the onebox. I don't have time to be doing all this extra clicking.

Mat

You'll probably get that when they implement the vote, close and delete buttons right on the front page.

jadarnel27

2:25 PM

I would also like to be able to set up a list of people in my profile. Then, whenever they vote on something, I automatically vote the same way.

Man, I am full of good feature requests today.

Best to have a one-click create sockpuppet button on every user's profile too

Bart

Don't let SNash hear you @jadarnel27.

Yi Jiang

This, combined with @jadarnel27's auto upvote idea will definitely not result in massive vote fraud. Absolutely not.

jadarnel27

Agreed. It will only result in the raising of the quality of the site.

Mat

Don't forget to request an auto-comment ("+1 'coz jad loves you") when that auto-vote kicks in.

jadarnel27

2:29 PM

Hahaha

Bart

2:44 PM

@jadarnel27 how is your French? .... the first entry sounds suspiciously like you webagencyfail.com

"Je pense que le projet nécessite l’intervention d’un développeur sénile."
"Euh… senior, non ?"

jadarnel27

Haha, that is excellent, @Bart.

Sénile, senior, what's the diff.

Right?

Bart

Pretty damn close

jadarnel27

I just guessed that first sentence means "I think the project needs the help of a senile developer."

Bart

Yep :)

jadarnel27

The Spanish verb for "to think" is really similar to that, so I just went with it.

That was the only part that doesn't look close enough to English to just assume =)

Bart

2:55 PM

Haha, true.

jadarnel27

@balpha FYI, these mobile chat update is working great so far. I really like not getting the extra inbox notifications.

I feel like it might make more sense for that button to say "dismiss" or "acknowledge" or something like that.

Generally, I expect the text of a button I tap to indicate what that button does.

"Mention" is more like a label to tell me I've been mentioned (and there's already green highlighting for that on my username).

/2¢

balpha

3:23 PM

@jadarnel27 the point is really a to be a marker -- saying "this is a mention (you haven't aknowledged yet)" -- not a button

it just happens to be part of the click target

FWIW I'm not set on the actual appearance, I'll have Jin take a look at it anyway

jadarnel27

3:46 PM

@balpha That makes sense. Thanks for making the change =)

jadarnel27

3:57 PM

Are you going to have to retrieve Jin from weeping quietly in the corner? I assume that's where he's been since that post looking for feedback on the new SE topbar thing.

Oded

Black? That's dark grey - Jin

jadarnel27

They should make it "light-ish red."

Oded

Hot-dog theme?

jadarnel27

Yeah! I was actually making a really outdated reference to a web-show called "red vs blue". Hot dog theme is better, though.

4:07 PM

Roll the dice to see if I'm getting drunk!

And TIL Dan Harmon wrote that sketch. Neat. ^

HodofHod

4:35 PM

@balpha That works; thanks!

I lost my ability to ask questions recently, and then got it back a few days ago. Now it is gone again

I have tried to edit m y questions, but they are not showing up in the list of questions. What to do?

If I don't edit, I don't get the upvotes

so I can ask again

I lost it on stackOverflow

Can I have a few upvotes there?

Please!?!

Mat

Do you have some deleted questions? If you do, edit those and flag them for undeletion once they're in good shape. Begging for upvotes is unlikely to help.

TJonS

4:54 PM

I do.

Mat

Well then flag one of your posts and kindly ask a moderator if they can undelete some of them so you can work on making them better and hopefully lift the ban.

@Jin, @Balpha: last week I flagged one of my answers to let moderators know a serial downvote streak had not been handled by the serial voting script.

The flag is still unhandled; perhaps I should have taken it to the devs instead?

I don't care about rep loss (it was regained with the next upvote, I had already hit the cap that day), more concerned this is a corner case that should have been detected but was not.

Eh, @Jin should not need to be bothered with this unless he feels the script needs a design makeover or he's much more into code than I'd expect.

Jin

@MartijnPieters I'm just a lowly designer, me no code. @balpha is a wizard though

Martijn Pieters

Yup. Appreciated the hats though! :-P

Martijn Pieters

5:48 PM

Whomever triggered the serial vote reversal, many thanks!

@Jin is that tom baker?
