Full editor allows preview and edit prior to submission. Better for more comprehensive posts.
It's not about twitter links. It's about users who link to their Twitter account to automatically post their iHub posts to Twitter. That has to go through Twitter's API and they have decided they will only allow that for $$$$$$.
If Twitter links are slow to load, that's Twitter too. That traffic goes directly from Twitter to the user's browser.
That should be working now. There were a lot of issues stemming from a central networking cause, and that's been fixed.
Famous last words....
We've been investigating. Looks like it's interwebs issues crossing the Atlantic.
We haven't changed anything. That's Twitter changing their API rules. Feel free to take it up with Elon.
Test post #2
Test post for board warning
At one time it was claimed by some misinformed persons that you were Shelly. Or that Shelly was you. I can never keep that straight.
Yeah, but there was nothing even resembling imminent harm in that case and that's where the 1A exception is for protected speech. Terrible analogy used by Holmes and despite being rejected repeatedly in countless other cases, it lives on and in often invoked in public, in legislatures, in courts and even in SCOTUS on rare occasion, which provokes maximum cringe for 1A scholars.
EDIT: Oops. My bad, missed the very legitimate" take it elsewhere" request.
You actually can. This issue is whether it is intended to and does incite imminent harm. It was a bad analogy used in Shenk which had nothing to do with fires or theaters, and is often repeated even though it isn't accurate.
It isn't a new topic internally. The rules have been routinely tweaked for over two decades. We've been discussing a revamp for a few years as the social media universe has rapidly expanded and evolved. Similar to feature creep, rule creep is a natural consequence over time and an occasional pruning can be helpful. You've seen quite a few changes to the features and layout over the past year, with more to come. We're also looking at the rule set.
How annoying. Impossible to replicate. Will look into it.
Meatloaf pushed a patch to eliminate the missing text when using the "Next" navigation. Please report any further occurrences.
Resulting silence on that particular issue will be welcome as golden.
The 1st Amendment protects you from government infringing on your Constitutionally protected speech. It doesn't limit any private actors from doing so. Private property owners 1A rights to host, publish, not publish or remove or otherwise allow or disallow visitors' speech trump the 1A rights of those visitors to their property.
Now, Texas, Florida and some other misguided legislatures and governors can't seem to wrap their puny heads around the 1A, but they will get set straight by the SCOTUS sometime next year.
Those removals have already been reviewed. No need for me to do so again.
Very fair point on politics. We historically have agreed with that because once partisan politics rear their ugly head on a stock board, it breeds more partisan politics and the noise starts to drown out the signal. However, we cannot ignore that sometimes politics, be it regulatory issues, matters before Congress or the courts, etc, relate directly to a given company and are a reasonable topic of dialog there. It's a slippery slope that heads downhill quickly when political ideology becomes the argument rather than the issue's impact on said company.
In the current broadly divided political environment, it's a juggernaut with a mind of its own. In the real world it seems rare to have a conversation about damn near anything without politics coming into it.
People unfamiliar with iHub but active in other mainstream social media sites come here and 1) don't understand the organizational structure of message boards vs a "feed" structure that is the commonplace approach now, and 2) are bewildered by many of the reasons for which posts get removed.
There are updates to the layout forthcoming to address the first point.
As to the 2nd point, content moderation at any scale is hard, period. Each and every moderation action or inaction makes someone happy and pisses off someone else. It's the nature of the beast. Socially acceptable norms change over time. We do recognize that and that there is no right answer that will appease everyone. For every person that thinks there should be less content curation, there is someone who thinks there should be more. And it usually hinges upon which side of any particular topic they favor.
It's something with the text parser mishandling tags or tag-like characters incorrectly. Especially when they are misformed, e.g., mismatched or not really part of a set of tags, though not always. Why it occurs on Next and not Prev is befuddling. Something in the library we are using isn't updating the browser's DOM properly. But, the Main Man is on the case now, so there is a chance!
Same problem. Meatloaf has taken over the matter to find a resolution.
You can't post on any board due the 7-day suspension for violating the TOS by opening a new account.
Yeah, you'd think.
It's not about posting links from Twitter but rather automated propagation of iHub posts to the poster's Twitter account.
Odd. Haven't seen that from anyone else. Possibly a network issue connecting you to Google or a short-term issue @ Google, who provides reCaptcha services to the world.
Unless you are still having the issue....?
Eh, that’s nothing. Hold my beer while we wait for what is coming down the pipe.
No, and no. There is a Posts Today count in the board About, but that's since midnight ET.
Probably not. It's just a click away.
Quite the contrary, the ADVFN site will migrate more toward looking like iHub.
It was an announcement of some upcoming changes, not changes that have already occurred. And, they will come in stages.
The client used makes no difference. All of the data is stored on servers and delivered to clients upon request whether they are mobile clients (app) or browser clients.
client > request > server > response > client
There is some limited caching on clients, but that's just temporary storage to save time and network overhead and to enable things like changing the color of visited URLs.
Removing visibility to ordinal posts numbers does not remove or inhibit the ability to discover historical content.
We'll address that if needed. The posts numbers are still available on the Manage page for moderators. And only moderators can add/remove the stickies.
Not much, anymore.
And it's likely to go away from the UI completely as the site redesign continues. Instead of "In reply to #12345" we will change it to "In reply to this post." It may still be used in URLs in some cases, so we can know which post is being replied to when a reply is being made so the proper linkages can be made. And places like paging back and forth on the board page so we know where the Next XX and previous XX starts.
Not much we can do about network errors. Do you have a solid network connection?
Screenshots will be helpful.
The mobile app is undergoing a complete rewrite. The codebase for the old (current) mobile app is pretty much beyond repair.
Are posts "numbered" on Twitter? No.
Facebook? No.
Stocktwits? No.
Reddit? No.
Instagram? No
Tiktok? No
YouTube? No
LinkedIn? No.
Quora? No
Nextdoor? No
While we might ask in individual cases just a save time or eliminate ambiguity when specific users utilize more than one kind of client, we already know that.
