Code push has happened!

Hi all, I'm preparing to do a code push. You can see the latest code tour here: https://dw-dev.dreamwidth.org/214638.html

Hang on to your hats!

Edit: The code has pushed! As always, please let us know if you see anything wonky or broken and we'll get on it!

Known Issues - Fixed 'em Maybe?


* Font size was way too small. We've tweaked them to be larger, but would welcome more feedback!
* Lack of ability to horizontally resize comment area. This has been fixed, you can drag the box horizontally again like you should be able to!
* A couple of style issues have been found and fixed.
* An issue affecting some Navigation strips has been fixed.
* An issue affecting syndicated accounts, proxied images, and a couple other worker related tasks were broken. They're better now.
* We've made some updates to the design of the comment reply form, we brought back the browse button, made the subject line full-width, and some other tweaks. Please let us know what you think!
* The RTE on the old create entry form is returned to service. A few more months, that's all we ask of you old friend...
* OpenID was broken, it's back.
* Button sizes are reset to default, we are no longer trying to make things line up. Let the ziggurat design pattern live on.
* Polls should show properly sized bars again.
* Lots more Android issues, we had to murder the unused spellcheck button to make it work out. Some weird interactions with differently sized elements and our ancient HTML.

Known Issues - Pending


* Related, some fields seem to have gone emo and are putting on heavy eyeliner (have bold, dark outlines). We're aware.

All known issues are being investigated and will be fixed! Please hang tight while we work on it :)

If you are reporting something visual, please let us know what browser/device you're on!

Is it possible to put the username of the journal your commenting with at the top of the new comment box? I've tried to adjust to the newness (and am getting there slowly,) but I'm still finding it difficult to if I wanna reference an entry in my journal or something similar, to have to scroll all the way to the top of the page to right click my username, etc. If it were sitting on top of the comment box it'd just help.

I know it's not top priority but in the RP community it's just super useful for referencing other indexed posts!

I believe that’s in the works. I think there should be a write-up of recent and upcoming changes published soon, either in [site community profile] dw_news or here in [site community profile] dw_maintenance.

Yeah, like alyndra said, that's in the works! 👍🏼 Everything's kind of slowed down a bit because people are busy, but the next revision of the comment form is looking sort of like this:
