Daily Discussion Thread: Sun 03 Sep 2023
Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
You're viewing a single thread.
So if someone replies to a post and then someone replies to the reply then the original replier deletes their comment that might explain the duplication and spinny thing 💡 . Have I just solved the problem? Quick test it out.
I vote we officially name the spinny thing the Spinny Wheel of Deletion.
I'm ok with that.
Better than the Beachball of Doom on a mac.
S.W.O.D.
Deleted my original reply. Spinny boi showed up. Testing to see if a separate reply will show up
E: whoops. Looks like another reply to the parent erases the spinny wheel from the now deleted comment.
Spinny showed up here too
Very good work. We did it.
I swear the spinny thing used to show up more regularly when there were a large number of comments, and not just with deleted comments (I'd view the same thread while logged in on a desktop browser and be able to see more). Never mind, that must be a relic now...
I think what happens is when comments collapse after 300+ and someone in the chain deletes a comment it shits its self. 💩
It does suck when it's so easy to accidentally delete comments on mobile at least when you open the editing interface - but then, if that happens you can actually undelete your comment from the same interface for a bit afterwards by clicking on the bin button again
I think what we need to do now is find out why comments collapse after 300+. If that could be fixed then if someone does delete a comment spinny thing comes out but doesn't fuck with chain.
It does - I erased the spinny from my comment below. Good detective work.
Oops. Went into my other account to check it looked the same, and accidentally posted from there. It's like a visit from my Reddit self 🤣
Delete it. See what happens.
It would incur the wrath of the Spinny Wheel of Deletion.
That's ok. It's all in the name of science.
