Bug: [Incorrect Session Status] Users are shown as online for upto an hour after logging out.

I have noticed that the user status in the profile page and the “All Forums” page is shown as online for a long time after the user has actually logged out. Never tested for the exact time period. But this seems to be an issue with whatever sync method/script you have in place for reflecting the user’s session state.

This is a major problem! Simply because it sets wrong expectations. Apart from general messaging, think about the cases where a trade is involved. Consider a trading post by a user (buyer) for some item. Another user (seller) sees the post and sends the requested voucher/code to the buyer and expects the offered exchange voucher/wallet/code in his inbox promptly. In the meanwhile, the buyer might have gone offline. But the seller still sees him online and this creates unnecessary confusion and possible dispute/hostility!

@admin


Its actually half hour to be precise…. We have seen that many times users are reading content/watching videos on Dost and Dimes forum, Hence an assumption is made that user is online for half hour since his/her last action on DD.

I will talk with the team and figure out if there is a way to show online users in a better war.

Bug: Usernames appear without a link in the notifications (popup/full page) for FPD suggestions.

When somebody suggests my threads for FPD, their username is not linked to their profile page in the notifications popup or the full notifications page.

Found this bug on mobile site (not app), not sure if it is the right thread to post.
Search with some keyword in forums, Ex: Amazon, it will result in many pages. Try to navigation to second page clicking “next” or any page number, the page reloads and it displays page 1 results again. Basically navigation is not working on search results page.

Seems like recently you changed the way navigation works, this has resulted in faster page loads on desktop, but seems like it broke the mobile navigation.

I am loving the new thread/PM search feature that was deployed today. Unfortunately, the following “unintended” feature has stopped working now. https://cdn3.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_sad.gif

http://www.desidime.com/forums/dost-and-dimes/t...

I understand the server/DB load issue with such a feature, but now there is no practical way to get all the posts from within a certain time period. I find the “By Date” filter in the existing advanced search to be mostly useless as it doesn’t let us specify exact date ranges. Can something be done about this?


Thanks for pointing it out… This is fixed now…

This entire forum can be used to point out suggestions etc…

http://www.desidime.com/forums/suggestions-issu...

Having said that, Don’t hesitate to even tag me wherever required.


But I still see “No results found”. http://www.desidime.com/selective_search?utf8=%...

Guys, the above issue was never resolved, but I have discovered a new search link that lists all of the topics in the forum sorted chronologically.

Bookmark this: http://www.desidime.com/searches/...40

@admin I hope you are okay with me sharing this. You can always edit my post to remove the link if you feel this adds unnecessary load on the DB/server.

BCC: Interested users.


You are awesome brother , karmas for you https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_biggrin.gif


Oops not able to give karmas, will try again later

Bug: Incorrect URL redirect/rewrite for posts when a thread is moved to a different section/forum

When a thread is moved to a different section/forum, any existing links to its posts get broken.

Example: http://www.desidime.com/forums/hot-deals-online...

This thread was moved from Hot Deals to D&D. Although the thread link gets redirected properly, the link to the specific post (i.e. ?page=9#post_1810987) does not work. Basically, the page number parameter gets lost in the URL redirect/rewrite.

@admin


Redirects to correct page now… Not the correct post yet due to some tech feasibility…


Not sure why you said that. Clicking on the above link now redirects me to the correct page and the exact post.

https://cdn0.desidime.com/smileys/congrats.gif


By the way, while you are doing these link fixes, may I also request you to fix the link for the posts in the Karma log — they are basically missing the page number parameter? Let me know if I am being too greedy. https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_toungueout.gif

Bug: Unordered HTML lists (< ul >) do not have any default CSS “list-style-type” and the margins are incorrectly set.

No bullet type is currently displayed by default for unordered HTML lists. Also, notice the incorrect indentation and line spacing. Example:

Default unordered list-style-type below

  • Item 1

  • Item 2

  • Item 3


Desired unordered list-style-type below

  • Item 1

  • Item 2

  • Item 3
