So I am going to build a totally custom embed thing. It won't use iframes at all and I'll end up hosting all the content on surly servers like native attachments work. Then build a little responsive card thing that displays the content in a consistent layout and makes it all playable etc with no need to link out externally.

Sent this in a “contact us” message as well, but wasn’t really sure so I thought I’d ask here too…

Ok this is weird, not sure where to post this - but just today for the first time I had to log back in with my email. No clue which email I used in 2018 to join, so I guessed and it looks like it logged me in as TBone instead of tbone_. I didnt even know I had a username without the underscore.

Any suggestions as to how I log back in as tbone_ ?

I’ll stay logged in like this for now I guess.

And it's already merged lol. Just responded to email.

Login with user name is not working... Would love to get that feature restored. Can't sign in from new devices 😏

Which site are the embeds from?

most recently a YT embed, but mostly Reddit. Came over to look for some answers and stumbled right into it.

“fuck you” rep should be at the very top so that my giant, humongous, manly (see: fat) thumbs have less of a chance of accidentally giving someone the finger.

GIF search showing “no results” as soon as I start typing.

I can't copy and paste photos anymore. It makes me save it and then pull it in via a folder or file, etc. Is there a work around for this?

Giphy API keeps hitting limit and they don't bump it. I'll try to get a self search going for gifs we already have uploaded.

Also what's your original username? I can get you the burner email you forgot instead of just using some random ass new account. Send me a DM

snipping tool->copy->paste.

It worked 100% of the time before the cutover and hasn't worked for me since.

Picky point, but the HOT! button on threads seems a bit too inclusive. A couple of posters going back and forth for a few posts seems like it wouldn't fall into the traditional HOT! category and if everything is HOT!, then is anything really HOT!? For instance, the Dabo thread is HOT! but only has 4 new posts in it.

having worked on the app side in public sector IT for 20+ years and managed numerous upgrades and cutovers... may i just say kudos @immamac , this was about as seamless a transition as i have experienced.

and also i generally haaaate upgrades of any sort bc i hate change (yes i know the irony given my career) but i must have chilled in retirement because i do not hate these changes. my biggest complaint is the banner listing the forums at the top is rendering slightly different and my muscle memory hasn't quite adjusted so i keep accidentally going to Hobbies instead of Movies&TV.

so basically...

We have a new status page too. The service I was using for monitoring is being sunset. Transitioned today.

I'm not sure why, but my chrome install on W11 is just borked. Surly loads properly in Firefox, but has that weird double load of the main js file. I know it's a me problem, but surly is the only site I've seen this problem with.

As a troubleshooting step, I even uninstalled and did a fresh chrome install and still had the issue

I can hop on a screenshare with you and work through it if you want me to take a look. Is it like that on every single theme no matter what? Or can you not even open theme switcher because of lack of JS? I can get you a link to test different themes that forces you switching with a uri parameter.

Its weird because none of those JS files are weird or linked twice.

When I use the search function to search a thread or a subforum I get the results I would expect. But when I next click on any post from those results I get redirected to the end of the thread rather than to the specific post I am interested in viewing. Seems like this was working until recently.

And while I'm here, does anybody else find it a major pain in the ass to try and delete quoted text from another post. You can't easily highlight the quote box and delete the entire thing like you could with the old site version, instead it always wants to force you to delete the quote contents letter by letter which is fucking stupid for a long quote. Am i missing some easy way to delete these quote boxes?

i’m just curious - what is the difference between certifiably Surly, legacy member, full member, etc…

certifiably surly is 3.50 subscriber - unlimited rep, can edit posts forever, gets flair, has unlimited attachments, can get VPN if you want etc.

Legacy Member is anyone who signed up between march of 2018 and March of 2019 effectively old site migrators - no ads except CR and higher rep and attachment quota than most people, effectively mostly treefiddy but free for being OG

Full Member is ad lite experience + can post in football and likely has IPIHB

New Member is ad experience + can't start threads in football

Guest is a lurker they can't post or do anything and get ad aids.

Is the sequential post count/number gone, or is there a setting with which I can restore it? Not referring to user post/rep count. Referring to what used to be at the top right corner of a post - the sequential numbering of posts in a thread.

I'm trying to get this back. I'm having to pay someone to develop it.

Terrific! I just contributed TreeFiddy to the effort.

i know ipados/ios sucks or whatever. but this happens, constantly. i can’t be the only one, right? RIGHT?!

that’s the back button btw. guess safari is reading twitter embeds as whole ass pages or something.

I use the View as App option on both iPhone and iPad and don’t have any problems with it. I do have to use the screen drag to go back, fwiw, so that’s a bit different

i typically swipe to go back, just showed the back button so imma could see all the embeds as separate pages.

sometimes when i swipe to go back i end up in a loop where the same page loads over and over. other times it takes me to individual tweets with each swipe. the loop happened before the switch, i think this twitter embed thing is new.
