  “Save my name, email and website in this browser for the next time I comment” isn’t working for me

  • Peter K says:

    Same for me on a mobile running Android 8.0.

      It’s actually not working on my laptop either using Chrome on this too

  Bug: page up/down doesn’t work as designed.
  To reproduce: Visit a page with a long-ish article, read to the bottom, please page down on your keyboard, if you now read from the top of the page a line or two of text is missing (hidden under the top navigation is my guess)
  Browser: Safari, MacOS 10.15

  Gravatar missing?

  • Rhys says:

    18 Aug18 August 12:56

    We killed them!

    • Peter K says:

      18 Aug18 August 13:05

      How do we stop someone stealing our username then?

      • Peter K says:

        18 Aug18 August 13:07

        Good question!

        • Rob says:

          Fair point, although we do know the emails we expect to see next to the main posters.

      A-a-argh! Goodbye to my pachyderm friend. As if ivory poaching wasn’t enough …

    Kinda sad about Gravatars going.
    1. Can’t identify HFP staff at a glance in comments – will this change?
    2. Can’t identify regulars at a glance.

      Yeah struggling to understand the reasoning behind removing a useful feature.

      • Rhys says:

        18 Aug18 August 14:43

        You could count on one hand the number of people – even the most regular commenters! – using gravatars. It just ended up being a lot of grey boxes. That said, we are going to rework the comments section soon as we know there are issues, so they might come back.

        • Rob says:

          Don’t bet on it 🙂

      • Rob says:

        It’s 1 million external calls per month to gravatar.com for a start!

  Maybe I’m just being thick but I can only see today’s articles. Has the ability to scroll down to earlier articles disappeared?

  • Rhys says:

    18 Aug18 August 13:01

    All the articles are still there….what device are you on?

    • Ian says:

      18 Aug18 August 16:18

      I’m on a Dell pc using Chrome with Adblocker disabled.

      • Rhys says:

        18 Aug18 August 16:31

        There should be 9 articles on the homepage, plus the evergreen boxes!

          Galaxy Tab 2 Active. Im only seeing 3 articles on home page and no means of getting any more

• Sundar says:

  Good look.
  Like : Runway-like H, Share options on the side, Like the Ends detail on yhe top right, Goto Top feature on the right.
  Dislike : f looks like Facebook ! Big advert at the top eating into mobile view space.

  • Rob says:

    18 Aug18 August 15:25

    That ad was always there!

    • Sundar says:

      18 Aug18 August 18:38

      Ok, maybe the redesign of the page is making it prominent on a mobile device. No issues.
      Also LIKE – Page no at the bottom for comments.

• the_real_a says:

  “Save my name, email…” should default to checked when its been selected previously.

• Stanley says:

  18 Aug18 August 13:33

  No “Latest Comment” on right hand side of page. Was a quick way to see if any new comments had replied/been posted……

  • Stanley says:

    18 Aug18 August 13:35

    Also, when you hit reply, it doesnt scroll to the reply box at bottom of the page, it sticks half way down…..so hard to see if you can reply or not.

    • Rhys says:

      18 Aug18 August 13:52

      I noticed this problem – this has just sprung up today so not sure what is causing it!

• r* says:

  The comments section is auto capitalizing the names of the poster. Im using lowercase and it converts to upper 🙂

  • cinereus says:

    18 Aug18 August 14:38

    That’s just the theme’s CSS styling. You can fix it with a greasemonkey script.
