I like complaining. I'm good at it. So let's complain about some minor shit nobody seems to care about....except me.
So lets start....
1. This is NOT how you count
Hmm let's post 3x the link to the live feed and see what happens....
3/2500 characters instead of 117/2500. If you write up to 2400/2500 and then try to post, it will complain that you are over the limit because in the background it counts correctly.
So...can we please stop discriminating links in the character count?
2. It's nice that you made links in private messages clickable, BUT....
...why the fuck are they not visible anymore in the preview!?
If you only post a link without text, you can't open the message anymore. You have to go on the profile and open it from there.
Again....can we please stop discriminating links?
3. What is this supposed to mean?
If I open the feed of a topic and activate some filters I get this.
Is this a secret message? Does it mean that the set of interesting questions in this topic equals 0?
It stays even after removing the filter. It has been like this for months and since I wanna give the admins the benefit of the doubt and assume that they use their own site including filters, it would mean that they do it on purpose. So, it HAS TO mean something.
4. GAG time zones?
So, this person has posted something 25 minutes ago but hasn't been online for over an hour. How is this supposed to work? Either GAG has their own time zones or it's the work of some evil black magic. Either way, it doesn't seem right.
Maybe @Rainie_ can enlighten us. (Noooo....that's totally not her profile....no need to look it up)
5. I don't know what you did here....
...but you clearly did it wrong!
6. How am I supposed to work like this?
So this is how the header of all the regular feeds looks like. On the left is the name, on the right are the filters.
And this is the live feed.
The filters are now on the left and the name is missing. WHY?! You're interrupting my workflow! This is NOT how you build an intuitive interface and coherent user experience.
7. Consequently inconsequent
So....why does GAG feel the need to hide the age on myTakes?
Even if we assume that it's a good idea because someone thinks that age doesn't matter and that like this people are more likely to listen to what you have to say (note: YOU'RE WRONG).....then why is it still visible when hovering over the name? Or going at the writers profile? Or when he posts a comment (so the name of anons is visible too?).
You also don't occupy the space with anything else. It just makes no fucking sense.
8. Everything was better in the old days
You know the good old times when you could see in the live feed if you had answered a question or not? Well, apparently that made too much sense so now it doesn't show anymore.
It still works on the other feeds though....
9. You're doing it wrong....again!
So, if I go on my questions page it shows by default all questions. On top it says open questions...
...and it follows a list with open questions. So far, so good. Now, a normal human being would expect that if he scrolls down, there comes another title saying "Closed questions" with a list of all the closed questions following.
But instead, there is no header and the questions get attached to the open questions list 😱😱😱
SCANDALOUS!
The same happens when listing all questions with MHO, but on the ones without MHO, it shows correctly! If you haven't noticed by now....there seems to be a clear pattern of discrimination when it comes to feeds and lists! Someone should investigate this.
P.S.: Why is there no list for closed only questions?
10. There's always something wrong with notifications
It has been like this since I've been here and I doubt it will ever change. When they released their app, everything worked fine but since a couple of weeks it has changed.
Someone answered one of my wonderful questions and the notification on the site looks like this.
Now I'd assume that I get the same notification on my phone (and that was the case until they fucked something up). BUT....it looks like this.
Don't get me wrong, I love @archiz , but I have read her opinion already....so why is it in there? And why is it listed first and not the new one whose avatar is also shown? Leave the ones I've already read out and show me the question text instead. You'd think they simply use the same notifications on the website and in the app but apparently that made too much sense.
That's it for now....if you have more minor shit to complain about, feel free to post them here (except if they are about me. I don't do mistakes and everything you can see is done on purpose, including my shitty English).
