Not sure if unique but I just tried to add my tiktok and youtube and was met with an error:

Hi Matt, thanks for flagging this.

Just to let you know, your email address was included in the first image you shared, so i've taking it down. I've logged the issue you raised though. :)

Hello!

I tried connect my Twitter account via the button on this page: https://alpha.justabout.com/settings/connected But it failed. I am already signed in to Twitter in this browser. When I click the button, it opens Twitter but I get this error:

Pressing 'back' just reloads my Twitter timeline.

Operating system and version: macOS Ventura, 13.4 (22F66) Browser and version: Arc, Version 0.108.1 (39609) Chromium Engine Version 114.0.5735.133

Thanks David, this has been logged.

I tried connect my Twitter account

Hi David Thair

Is this something that you're still experiencing? We're struggling to replicate it.

Mark's avatar

I tried connect my Twitter account [...] But it failed.

We're struggling to replicate this - let me know if you're still have trouble connecting Twitter.

In the meantime, we'll keep monitoring.

I noticed when I typed a reply to a post before, when I pressed post, the last word of my reply was not included. Like it didn't save it quick enough.

Mark's avatar

Thanks for this Philip.

I haven't seen or experienced anything similar, but this has been logged. Keep sharing anything you see that doesn't look right.

elo everyone, mostly just some visual weirdness for me. Maybe my rickety old iPhone XS?

on the editor in order to insert a. Image I have to tap the + but that’s really small and I end up in markdown. Also mark down is off the side of the toolbar.

I find I need to pinch out sometimes to fit the site or sometimes it’s jammed zoomed out too much with a white strip down the side.

Hyperlinks when they run over a line the word is split instead of the whole thing being moved to a new line.

Breadcrumb gets truncated

Can only insert one image at a time is a bit annoying.

Sometimes get spinny circle on add image too? (Stuck on that just now)

Having to scroll back up to tools… maybe should be on bottom on mobile.

Name etc truncated on profile page.

in the profile drop-down menu top right. There is a settings in bold which I think a header for the settings below but I was tapping on it thinking it was settings. Is that required or maybe underline and no icon so it looks more headery.

Bits of search results are cut off as well. Will follow up this post with some screenshots.

SR

don’t mean the above post to come across as narky btw. Love the site and idea.

Oh also, a personal thing but the share icon looks like a reply icon to me. Up arrow in a wee box maybe?

Love you @mark

Also I don’t think I was dropped on my edited post and had to refresh to see it.

Rupert's avatar

A few people have said 'share' looks like reply, and reply isn't obvious.

I do prefer the iOS style up arrow for share personally. Any ideas for a different reply icon?

Mark's avatar

Oh also, a personal thing but the share icon looks like a reply icon to me.

Just to let you know, we've changed the share icon to the paper aeroplane. Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming!

Mark's avatar

Cheers Sam, those have been logged.

Let me know if you come across anything else you want us to have a look at.

I accepted my alpha invitation and was asked to choose a username. I entered a username (my firstname and second name without any spaces) and got a message saying Username Claimed with a picture of a party hat. But I wasn't redirected anywhere. I just had to keep entering a username. I tried again multiple times with the same username and the same thing kept happening. I tried again with an underscore separating my first name from the my second name and that seemed to be accepted and I was redirected.

Rupert's avatar

Doh! Thanks. We'll get on that.

And hello :)

AD

Couple of little visual bugs... (filters show behind the post, so you can't see them... overflow/scrollbars showing on related articles) Windows/Chrome

Mark's avatar

Thanks Ant.

These have both been logged.

LukewarmGravity's avatar

Might be an issue with Profile Pics? keep saving mine but it's showing blank next to all of my posts.

Rupert's avatar

yep, there is an issue with this. On iOS I get an infinitely spinning wheel…

Thx!

Mark's avatar

LukewarmGravity, which device/browser are you using?

EDIT: correcting typo

LukewarmGravity's avatar

Desktop (windows both 10 & 11), chrome (latest ver).

chrisfarms's avatar

A wild undefined found on the user posts list .... and I believe the "1 week ago" maybe from the parent post but is attributed to me (which should be minutes ago at time of posting)

Mark's avatar

Hi chrisfarms,

We have a fix for this too! It's currently pending release, but in the meantime, you've got yourself $5. Whilst we process your reward, keep searching for those bugs and you could win more. Congratulations.

Drifter's avatar

on mobile when I click on notifications, and then view all, the menu remains over all my notifications page unless I then click on the page again. Small thing.

Mark's avatar

Great news. We have a fix for this, it will be deployed in a pending update. Meanwhile, thank you for helping up to improve the platform, you've got yourself $5! Whilst we process your reward, keep hunting for bugs and let us know what you find. Congratulations!

Drifter's avatar

can’t centre my profile image to where I want it. It’s OK, but maybe guidance on size if I can crop

Mark's avatar

Hi @Drifter

Thanks for your feedback and for helping us to improve the platform.

Leave it with us while we look into your comments. These things can take a little time, but I’ll come back to you when i have more information.

Meanwhile, if you run into any other issues please keep feeding them back.

Thanks again,

Mark.

Mark's avatar

Hi Drifter, Profile pictures will default to taking the centre of the picture. However, we're also taking on board your feedback around members being able to crop profile pictures as they choose.

I can't guarantee if/when this would be implemented, but we'll consider this as part of our ongoing platform development.

Keep the feedback coming, this is great stuff!

Can't comment on on 3rd post down.

Mark's avatar

Thanks Jules.

We're taking a look into that.

Mark's avatar

Hi Jules wow,

A quick update on this, it isn't a bug.

At this time, we aren't offering infinite nested conversations, things may get a little messy. Even so, we'll have a think about if there is a better way we can show this.

Thanks again.

Jules wow's avatar

I saved a comment but couldn't unsaved it by clicking the same icon again (it just came up with a "saved" pop up again).

I went to my saved post and there is no option to unsave there either.

Jules wow's avatar

Also, once you hit submit a comment the page refreshes and jumps to the top, rather than staying at the comment.

Rupert's avatar

I think this is occurring on “submissions” but working OK for replies. TBC.

Jules wow's avatar

How can I unlike your comment @Rupert

Mark's avatar

How can I unlike your comment

Jules wow If you press the react button, this will remove the like (reaction).

Jules wow's avatar

Just so you know I'm testing on mobile (Samsung 9) using Google Chrome

Jules wow's avatar

Okay, so after submitting original posts the page doesn't jump down, however, on the reply it does

The upside-down smiley and hand waving emoji don't display. Suspect there could be more. 🤔

Jules wow's avatar

Hi, I've reworded the post above a couple of times (cause words matter). Interestingly, I can edit and save it to something new but it won't let me then edit and change it back to what it's been originally...🙈

I've logged this. I tried to replicate it on my laptop (iOS) and mobile (iOS), but everything worked as expected.

The "show all" option in the "type" filter sets the URL to https://alpha.justabout.com/just-about?tag=0 (which returns no results) ... think it should be https://alpha.justabout.com/just-about?tag= or just https://alpha.justabout.com/just-about

Hi Jules,

Everyone can earn points and level up, the picture you shared shows the progress bar between levels - the bar updates once each day.

Currently, points are achieved by receiving reactions. So, members who create the best content, will earn the most points.

In time, we'll be tweaking how points are earned (and more), feedback from the community will help us along the way.

Hey Jules, This has now been fixed, thanks again for letting us know. You can also keep up to date with all the changes we're making in our changelog updates discussion.

Jules wow's avatar

settings > display

Changing the site theme does not work for me. I click on "save settings " and a pop up confirms it's been updated but nothing changes.

Drop down > switch to dark mode

Works 👌

Jules wow's avatar

@Mark please don't hate me for all the spam, y'all doing a fantastic job 😁🙈

Jules wow's avatar

Huh, it looks like my exclamation and question marks aren't displaying!!!

Edit: Here is what I submitted:

Mark's avatar

<takes breath> This is excellent stuff and it's really appreciated. Thank you for this, keep 'em coming!

I have a notification that someone has replied to a comment I made, but when I click the notification link I am not redirected to the post/comment.

Mark's avatar

Thanks Richard,

I haven't been able to replicate that, but let me get it logged.

Which device/browser are you using?

RH

Chrome Version 108.0.5359.125 on a Windows 10 laptop.

RH

It seems to be working OK now, but I wonder if that's because the page has generated all of its content and therfore the anchor has loaded, whereas when I tried earlier, I was just on the homepage having not updated the thread.

Mark's avatar

Incidentally, earlier today, we also added direct links to individual posts. So, if you want to share a link to a particular message, just hit the timestamp and share the URL.

Philip's avatar

Notification bell shows multiple notifications, when I read and click on one it still stays in my notification list.

Mark's avatar

Thanks Philip - I've logged that too.

I've noticed that my notifications don't clear quite as I expect when using my laptop, but everything is perfect on my mobile.
