Hi,

CSS wise, the upvote button is back to default blue (I don't count that as a bug though)

Next to the reply, quote links for a post? Shows up grey for me here.

He means when it's active. Olli, I think, put it in Qt-green before. Probably some of the CSS got overwritten/modified with the update.

Aha, now I see what you mean, that I can probably track down easily enough, will add it to the list. Thanks!

Two additional findings of this morning. It seems there's either some caching issue or delay with regards to spammers.

Deleted threads seems to not be shown properly on first access after deletion.
Same goes for banned people, their status doesn't seem to show up correctly.

SGaist

One more, the off by one issue seen in the counters has another more problematic side effect. If you have "one page plus one post" you can't access the last one because the needed pagination is not generated.

AndyS

@sgaist As in the off by one ala unread posts you mean?

I have been trying to see if there is some way to trigger a check on the db but so far have not found anything reliable. I did manage to upgrade the local db to 1.9 now at least so I am trying to compare that with the other test one which is still using 1.8 to see if any issues happen to be fixed.

SGaist

Yes exactly. I do wonder if it's database question or a bug in the software stack.

AndyS

I do think somehow it is the database but I am not sure what yet. I might have to resort to contacting them about it to see what I can look at.

AndyS

I think the notification issue has something to do with the damn Qt theme and I am tempted to switch it to Persona just to see if it fixes everything else :P

SGaist

It might be something different. I just saw that even though you have posted twice in this thread. On the "main page" it shows my last post on it but it doesn't happen on all threads.

AndyS

I managed to reproduce an unread issue at least on the test one now, also I can toggle notifications working on and off by switching to Persona so I think that using the default theme might show it all working. Problem is being sure.

AndyS

Ok, I am going to do a quick switch of the theme to compare the unread list and then switch it back right after. Fingers crossed it shows a difference.

SGaist

Sounds like there's some stuff that is way too entangled 0o

AndyS

Incredibly it does all seem to be connected to the theme, it can't be the changes I did since that is all CSS so something else in it is getting in the way. I will check this further in the morning but I think we are getting close now at least.

SGaist

Looks like it indeed. It almost make regretting the time of static pages ;-)

SGaist

I have a phantom thread in my unread list. The user deleted it, but it keeps appearing even after marking it explicitly as read.

@AndyS All sub-pages of https://forum.qt.io/users miss the <previous>/<next> links to scroll through the lists. I don't know since when this is missing, but is was working, I swear :)

It shows up for me in the Banned and Most Flagged lists at least, and it seems NodeBB.org's own forum has it up for all the pages. I'll add this to the list.
