I hope this doesn't come off as dismissive, because I 100% don't mean it that way, but please remember there are only two of us and we can't focus on everything all of the time. We are aware of all of the things that've been mentioned here (we do go through the problems and bugs forum, even when we're not actively responding to things!), and they will all be addressed, but there are always so many things going on that we're dealing with that things like this aren't priority . Since none of these problems (except for maybe topics not loading in the mobile layout) are gamebreaking or abusable glitches, they just don't get immediate attention and more like.. they simply get added to the list of things we're already working on.

I've just pushed fixes for a lot of the things on this thread.

• Avatar likes work again (they were actually working all along, just not changing to red)
• Item previews load correctly again (this was a problem with our 10 year old filter)
• Filter shouldn't be applying to all posts, breaking items and such (more on this in the next few days, bye filter!)
• Forum stars are now for every 750 posts based on the average number of posts people have made. I understand this is frustrating for people who were at 6 stars before, but most people at the top had already crossed that threshold anyway. We made them 500 per post when the first version of the forums came out, it was due for an increase.

I'm working on the WL items (that's a bigger fix) and mobile now. :)

[edit]

I think this is a really dangerous road to go down. Bringing back previews was actually hard, it required rewriting a piece of years old filter library that didn't output the filtered text (in this case, previews) in a way that could be transmitted over JSON. As we move more and more things to API requests rendered by javascript, that will be important.

The number of the post your on isn't as simple as just keeping a counter through a loop because of hidden posts and other quirks that some people (aka staff) can see that regular users can't.

So while I appreciate the lists and the feedback, I'd caution trying to guess how simple of a fix something is.

The avatar likes is a cache issue - your browser has cached likes.js and is loath to let it go, I've just pushed something to make it grab a new version :)

As far as the likes go, we're still trying to recover those but are having significantly less luck than we thought :( I'm not trying to ignore it, but and I have been going back and forth on using some combination of logs and haven't found anything that has really worked, but we're still on it!

Working on the preview issue, it comes from a tradeoff we had to make with the new API, which is basically not rebuilding our filter immediately.

Trying to get the wishlist fix & fix for that out today. I've also made it so the forums load on mobile. :)

Just pushed out a fix for wishlist items & the previews.

Just pushed a fix for the front page taking weird amounts of time to show up correctly, as well as fixing the wishlists once and for all :)

Will work on the avatar likes issue - they should only be coming up if you've liked them in the past 24 hours. Posts should be hearted forever, you can't give them multiple likes (similar to news comments).

Also working on the preview issue now - basically it's cached to whoever viewed the post first and had it cached ;) That shouldn't be the case, obviously, but it's an alright solution while I work out the rest.

Because it's no longer using the same filter code, that all has to be rewritten for the new API. And as we're going to move away (mostly) from sCode/bbCode in the new Subeta layout, it isn't at the top of my list to rewrite a lot of that stuff until we know what is coming (user tags, obviously) and what isn't.

It's in my list of tasks for the forums, though :)

We have a few options. The new layout has WYSIWYG editors on every form that just build HTML which means either using the current filter as a legacy filter on anything created before the change, or just converting news comments/profile comments/forum posts to use HTML the first time it's viewed once we move over.

The legacy filter solution is already implemented, it just sucks making that request for every post :).

That is a forum caching issue relating to server strain and the current event. Forum preference changes -- including signatures and titles -- are affected. It's not really a glitch, per se.
