I sure love being in the middle of reading a long, insightful post only for it to disappear before my very eyes against my will, and have to CTRL + F for a word in the title if I can remember it and have to sift back through all the stuff I just read to return to the point at which the auto refresh stole it from my eyes.
I'm really enjoying the new update overall but god fucking damnit I hate auto-refresh
Yep i hate it too. It's the original reason why I decided to help out developing hexbear.
I have hexbear rebased on 0.18, but upstream has a bunch of bugs currently we are waiting on getting fixed first. 0.18 will remove websockets and fix the refreshing issue entirely
The websockets were so annoying especially when the website works mostly fine without them. Ever since the site launched the websockets caused some wild bugs it would be better to just have it off and refresh the page like the good ol days. Thank you for your contribution, if I wasn't so chronically tired I would also help out with the code.
websocket abuse is one of the most annoying things in the modern web
Can you remove that thing where it says "click here for more posts"? One thing I liked about the old site was how far you could go down a thread without getting that notice.
is that why my comment about growing old in a cannibalized future got posted to someone's dickpic announcement
I checked the modlog and he did indeed post hog.
Mods we need one nsfw sub only, and it needs to be a place where we can store all the hog we get wreckers to post before their bans
This happens to me WHILE IM WRITING. I’ll be writing a post or commenting and will need to go to an alt tab for links and shit and bam! Hexbear has reloaded and all my shit is gone. Annoying as fuck.
was just thinking about this last night, it's like I'm trying to watch the TV, but the site is forcing me to sit inside the coffeeshop rather than peer in at it through the window
