Image upload in comments needs guidance for criteria.
Some guidance that images have a minimum (maybe a maximum as well?) size of 100px x 100px would be useful if that is a limitation on embedding images.
The back-end emits a HTTP 400 and a message indicating such but there is no message on the edit UI area.
UX is: Select
Attach image, use browse dialogue, select image file, clickOpenbutton then a brief flash of the image and then nothing.Thanks for reporting this issue. There's now specific error messages for images that don't qualify for upload. The limits are min 100x100, max 8192x8192, max size 10mb, max ratio 5:1. I also added AVIF support while I was in there, so valid formats are png, webp, jpeg, avif. Gif is not supported yet, but will be added when I get a chance. There's a tooltip on the upload button that indicates all the specifications. Probably not prominent enough but haven't figured out where else to put it that isn't visual clutter. These changes aren't deployed yet but will be later today. Thanks again for this feedback, let me know if you find any further issues!
Feature complete! The tooltip is perfect and the location of the message is spot on. Great work.
For your workflow, do you want me edit the original comment to put a [CLOSED] label at the beginning? I am imaging this potentially becoming quite noisy. Maybe update the sticky with what would help you address issues as they arise? Kinda like the GitHub issue / feature templates.
Thanks, appreciate you verifying the fix so quickly!
Tell me if I'm wrong but I think it's going to be unrealistic to expect everyone to come back and update their comment with [CLOSED] (although it would be fantastic). I think the thread will probably be best viewed chronologically using the 'latest' sort up the top, and anything without a reply from me should be considered unresolved. That's probably the best we can do, short of funnelling everyone off to github issues, which might actually be a good idea for the future. Thanks again for the report and the verification.
Not an issue, but don't know where else to put this suggestion!
When creating a sub...ummm...subteddit, in the 'title' section it has a limit of 100 characters. However, it doesn't tell you this until after you've typed in your title, and (IIRC) there is no character counter either (I am not confident about this but I think so).
So my suggestion would be: 1) clarify that there is a 100 character limit when creating one, and 2) have a character counter (much like there is now in the bottom right while I'm typing this).
Great work in setting up a platform though, I foresee many sleepless nights in your future :D
This should now be resolved. There's a character counter and character limit description on each field, so it's not a surprise how long the title or description should be. This was a definitely oversight, so thank you for identifying and reporting it. Let me know if you encounter any other issues or have any other suggestions and thanks for using the site!
Could Topicle not force all-lowercase usernames? It's an unwanted surprise to find my username "JayHN" turned into just a blob of a word, "jayhn." I've only been on the site a few minutes but I've already seen several multi-word usernames that are much-harder-to-read messes without any capitalization in them.
Yeah for sure, let me look into what's involved in fixing this and I'll get back to you tomorrow.
Thank you!
This is now fixed, your visible username is JayHN going forward. Any user that signs up with capitalization in their name will have it preserved. Thanks for the report, this was an oversight that was definitely not intended.
I seem to be having issues with list formatting. Neither bullet lists or number lists work for me, I have to manually type each number/hyphen.
Selecting an entire text list and pressing either of the list buttons in comment/post formatting only affects the first line.
Copying over a formatted list also seems to remove the formatting.
I've pushed an update today where all these issues should now be fixed, all formatting is preserved on copied text, list or numbering formatting applies to all selected text instead of just the first line. Thanks for this report, let me know if anything further needs to be done to fully address this.
Nice :)
It won’t let me start a list and press enter to continue the list (e.g. set the list at 1. then type a line and press enter), but selecting text and copy-pasting over both seem to work.
