The Glowfic Constellation

Do you have a setting, character, plot, art, or other notion that you wish to put on the Internet? This is the Internet! Whee!

Not related to this bug – NewRelic is our stats thing so we can see how long it takes pages to load and such (and correspondingly speed up the right sections).

I think there's a script that runs when you click "Dismiss Warnings" or "Set As Default" or – well, lots of things, actually, that pretend to be links but are actually forms (a lot of the things on the post dropdown menu are like this). I'd expect other things to break if you had this blocked, or else you probably blocked it just once? The issue doesn't seem to be appearing for me, at least not directly.

(It looks like this did happen, somehow, since there was a GET request to the right URL – it should've been a POST, is the thing, and that's what the link-as-a-form thing does. Alternatively maybe you opened the link in a new tab?)

Thank you. The function to search within a single post is in fact visible and functional while logged out, which is nice because usually I want that on my computer and I still only log in with my phone.

Is there any possible design fix for the thing where you follow a deep link into a thread you've previously read only part of, and you lose your previous unread pointer?

If you follow a link to a reply further in the thread than you've read, we could display a banner or a button near the top of the screen, perhaps? We might have to do something fancy with referrers to make sure it doesn't show up through normal viewing (unless people would also like it then in case they skip a few pages by accident?)

It might be a bit obnoxious. Suggestions would be welcome.

There could be a button in the menu thing at the top right of the thread that goes "restore previous unread" or something

Ugh when did I last even do this. Sorry if duplicates.

Updates:
- 90.31% code coverage, because I am the awesomest awesome ever to awesome. Not bothering with modesty disclaimers, too smug. WE ARE GREEN, PEOPLE.
- Wrote a better designed API, moved a bunch of Javascript calls to it. See: awesome.
- You can search threads by title now.
- The at_id thing

Throne updates:
- Properly hides the no-avatar-set icon in mobile view.
- Tweaked the post author locking text
- Fixed the margins on blockquotes
- Fixed the post viewer issue from access lists
- Fixed a test bug related to timestamp precision
- Updated developer README to include Redis instructions
- Fixed some even/odd CSS bugs in starry layouts and a wrapping issue with paginated post lists
- Does not collapse down to "join this thread" for people who have a draft saved but not yet ever posted in a thread

Whoever made the request ticket for word count, you can already get to it for posts on the stats page; I left the ticket around for the request for character word count.

Made a crapton of tickets, going to bed now.
