This quick update aims to address some, but certainly not all, of the smaller concerns that we've been seeing.
- the title field when submitting a post is now a textarea
- textareas now auto-expand in height as necessary
- Twitter embeds will now respect your theme (dark mode users will see a dark embed)
- removed captchas for new users (previously, very new users would have to complete a reCAPTCHA before submitting posts and comments)
- added an error message if saving an edit fails, rather than loading forever
- fixed an issue where "continue reading thread?" would sometimes appear when there are no further comments
- reduced requirements for long term users with regards to the "recently joined" handshake flag.
- original revision in edit history will show as having 1 score rather than its score immediately prior to being edited
- added new rate limits for login attempts
- added robots.txt
Additionally, we've reset all save folders that had been renamed to "" (nothing) so that they are accessible again.
Can you please elaborate on robots.txt?
User-Agent: *
Disallow: /api/
Disallow: /*sort=
Disallow: /*from=
Any specific reason?
User-Agent: * (Allow all spiders)
Disallow: /api/ (keep spiders out of the API)
Disallow: /*sort= (Prevent indexing comments more than once)
Disallow: /*from= (Not sure on this one but doesn't prevent indexing any public facing topics)
I know this, but is this what we want? Do we want to be invisible for google search, for example?
Thanks for the transparency.
