We have again made some changes to Win today:

  • new, bigger "expand embed" icons (different for images/videos/tweets/text)
  • fixed missing "ago" when JavaScript disabled
  • fixed issue with top sort where pagination would reset you to the default timeframe option
  • added an exit button to the captcha popup, in case the user decides they don't want to continue
  • fixed issue where search did not support spaces
  • clicking the thumbnail of a post now expands the embed (if no embed, does nothing)
  • adjusted styling for the submit button when editing a comment in dark mode
  • adjusted coloring of the "tag" options when submitting a post in dark mode
  • adjusted coloring of the "d" in "saved" when in dark mode
  • fixed issue where collapse bar showed after submitting a comment reply via inbox

The majority of changes today were on the backend of our new image hosting option, and can't be included on this list.

There have also been a few changes made to the mobile interface changes, which are currently only available to logged out users.

  • replaced the upvote icon with a small version of the uptrump wall building animation
  • some spacing adjustments
  • added "comments" behind the number of comments

Same as last time, please leave feedback on the new mobile design (which is currently only available to logged out users, but may be enabled for logged in users after more changes and based on the feedback)

Also aware of the performance issues in the last 5-10 minutes. Hopefully these are resolved.

Experienced frontend devs, preferably with a vast /r/The_Donald history, please PM me.

Additionally, if you've PM'd me recently and I haven't yet replied: I will ASAP.

Great updates! You guys are on a roll!

Using a single-line comment as an example, is it possible to have the vote arrows take up the full height of the area, primarily for mobile accessibility with the thumbs attached to our YUGE hands?

Here's an illustration (I hope u/fuckallleftists doesn't mind that I feature his comment here)

EDIT: To clarify, having the arrows take up roughly 64 pixel height could make them easier to toggle on mobile

I am so confused and disoriented. I just arrived from Reddit and there are all these comments below a post rather than javascript boxes and pop ups everywhere. This site seems to be about people sharing ideas and bullshit online rather than having our thoughts groomed by our superiors in Reddit's offices and the Chinese communist party HQ. Wat do?

Why are links the same color as regular text? It's impossible to see where the links are.

Doggos [M] [S] 2 points ago +3 / -1 FL

Yep, dark mode only though. Will fix in next update.

hashtag6zer0s 3 points ago +3 / -0

For email address confirmation under Settings, there's a field for email address, but then underneath that, there's a field for "Password" - is this on purpose? I would think it'd be a second field to confirm the address. Why would I need to enter a password?

Am I missing something?

2
Doggos [M] [S] 2 points ago +3 / -1 FL

It's a protection against a situation where someone finds your account left logged in and changes your email address and hijacks your account. Requiring the password to change the password or the email is a standard on many sites.

u/Doggos Just tried submitting a jpg image post, it complained with an error saying that the post "must be text, link, or image".

https://imgur.com/a/bSpN0yy

It displayed the "upload" animation with the upload bar and everything.

I tried on Vivaldi and Firefox. Tried renaming the file to a one word string.

Anything else I should test?

2
The_Boogens 2 points ago +2 / -0

I just tried to upload a .gif and got the same error. "post must be text, link or image."

EnoughGunControl 3 points ago +3 / -0

The search feature was better, but still has some problems: e.g. "wuhan coronavirus" returns results, but "coronavirus wuhan" doesn't.

1
Doggos [M] [S] 1 point ago +2 / -1 FL

True, that will be a long term problem however.

EnoughGunControl 1 point ago +1 / -0

Could we implement Google Custom Search? I've been using it for a while.

johnso21 3 points ago +3 / -0

Any chance the mobile users can get the “double downward pointing arrows like on Reddit mobile that takes you to the next main comment in a post? One of my favorite features on mobile.

A setting we can select for our account to auto-hide already-read posts would be ++. I like to keep it clean so I can spot new posts, and having to click "hide" on each gets tedious.

SirPokeSmottington 3 points ago +3 / -0

When you are browsing and hit next, the next page contains posts from the previous page.

Can you please add, https://old.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/?count=25&after=t3_fa2f1c << that end bit, "&after"

Also, can you make a 'never ending reddit' style browsing option, without pages?

3
Doggos [S] 3 points ago +4 / -1 FL

Infinite scroll is coming.

The way we generate listings needs to be overhauled before we can reasonably adjust how we handle pagination, but that is quite high priority.

Mods, I’m having a really hard time posting images. I did one successfully a couple days ago, but every time I try to drop some dope ass memes I get an error message or it says “post must be text, link or image”. Not sure what’s wrong.

Blocking will be coming soon.

Push mobile to logged in users. This new interface is awesome. It's way better than what we have now. Why wait to push it?

BTW, why bother with an upvote button for logged out users? They can't vote because they're logged out plus it takes up screen real estate.

1
Doggos [M] [S] 1 point ago +2 / -1 FL

I think there's going to be a lot of criticism of it.

1
DJTrumpMAGA 1 point ago +1 / -0

I've logged out on mobile just so I can use it and test it. I like it a lot. I've been using Reddit Sync on mobile Reddit for years(and paid for the app) if that gives you a point of reference.

2
Trump2k 2 points ago +2 / -0

I'm not sure if this has been suggested to you before, but is there any chance to implement something similar to RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite), at least when it comes to seeing how many upvotes/downvotes I awarded to a certain user (next to their username), a custom tag to recognize them, etc.

As always, a YUGE thanks for the efforts you are doing, both on the front end and backend. Keep it up :)

Link: I’m so used to Apollo

  • Maybe darker, in dark mode, and lighter, in light mode, text for visited links within site. Just a slight difference is all that’s needed. Since I don’t upvote every post but visit some so I know which comments I’ve been to. I know nothing about dev but I’d like to say how much I appreciate you guys!! Keep it up!!
  • I just realized links are same color as normal text, someone said that up further in this thread.

Can we have a way to mute or block people please?

2
frothy 2 points ago +2 / -0

Feature Request (if you're making a list)

The 'reddit' style for pics and memes is great, but it completely sucks for trying to hold conversations and discussions. It would be awesome if it's kept as the main landing page, but have a subsection backed by vBulletin (or similar) forum software.

It would help drive meaningful discussions and improve visitor retention times.
