The introductory diary having fallen off the Recommended list, and having gotten up to an unwieldy 580+ comments, I thought I'd start a new bug report
(or praise) (good suggestion below to limit comments to bug reports for now, so they're easier to find) thread.
Please add your experiences here, and hit recommend if you think this thread is useful.
To be most helpful to the designers and coders that be, include your browser and operating system info, too.
As for me, I'm having a problem I haven't seen reported before:
I have no recommend function for comments.
I had comment rating turned off in the old system to speed load times, so I'm assuming that's why I don't have the option to recommend comments now. The problem is, I no longer see any way to toggle the function back on. I've checked the diary/comment interface, as well as the preferences screens, and either I'm missing something really obvious, or it just doesn't exist.
Also, if I hit Post Comment at the bottom of the page, it pops me up to the top of the comments, but instead of loading the comment editor, it just loads a blank white space. If I hit Post Comment again (right there at the top of the comments, below the diary text), the editor then loads.
I'm using Safari 1.3.1 on Mac OS X 10.3.9.
Update: FYI, here's what peeder posted earlier about browser compatibility:
DAILY KOS AJAX COMPATIBILITY
Common Considerations:
The site will look and work much like the old site does with JavaScript disabled, or with browsers that don't support Ajax (old ones, mobile phones like the treo, etc.). This is called "legacy mode". The technology that makes that support so smooth, by the way, has the lovely name "progressive enhancement."
WINDOWS
Recommended Browser: Firefox 1.5
Firefox 1.5/1.07:
No known issues, but staying up-to-date is recommended
Some difficult scripting operations may show a dialog asking if you should continue. It's recommended that you do continue as there are no known infinite loop bugs.
Greasemonkey extension is emphatically NOT supported: if you load that hack onto your browser, uninstall it before reporting problems.
Internet Explorer 6 (Including AOL Explorer and Netscape 8 in IE mode when IE 6 installed):
Links created with link editor are pasted in at the end of comments. They can of course be moved from there with a cut and paste.
Animations are disabled
No comment scrollbars
Find on page is broken when you Expand a page that was loaded as shrunk. The workaround is to use Expand Always mode.
Autorefresh may cause periodic "clicking" sounds as it loads (the same sounds as if you were pressing the reload button manually); these can be turned off in the Sounds tab of the Sounds Control Panel: Set the "Start Navigation" sound to "(None)".
Renders faster than Firefox, but JavaScript is slower
IE7 beta 2 works much like IE6
Internet Explorer 5.5:
All IE6 problems. Even so, upgrading is recommended.
Internet Explorer 5.0, Netscape 4 and earlier are all stuck in legacy mode (no Ajax).
Opera 8.5:
Autorefresh sometimes makes comments disappear, sometimes doesn't work
Back button may sometimes require numerous presses (use rewind button)
Parent links on comments in /story mode open an ugly page instead of scrolling up.
These issues, true for all Opera platforms, will be fixed in Opera 9.x
MACINTOSH
Recommended Browser: Safari
Safari 2.x (on 10.4 Tiger) / 1.3x (on 10.3 Panther):
No known issues provided Safari is updated via Software Update
Safari 0.x/1.x (Early versions on 10.2 Jaguar):
These browsers are not supported.
The site will render, but some links will not be clickable
Firefox 1.5.0.1/1.07/Netscape 7.2:
Limited to displaying 250 a system-dependent number of expanded comments: more will cause browser to freeze, whether JavaScript on or not.
No other issues with smaller threads
Can continue to use provided you either avoid threads with many comments or use Shrink Always mode and never click Expand in a large thread.
Some difficult scripting operations may show a dialog asking if you should continue. It's recommended that you do continue as there are no known infinite loop bugs.
Not as fast as Safari, or as pretty.
Camino 1.0:
Does not have 250 comment limitation of Firefox (even though they claim to use the same Gecko 1.8 engine)
Will support Ajax usage on 10.2 Jaguar
Some difficult scripting operations may show a dialog asking if you should continue. It's recommended that you do continue as there are no known infinite loop bugs.
Opera 8.5:
Same problems as Windows Opera 8.5
Internet Explorer 5.2:
Uses legacy mode...no Ajax support
May be best browser for 10.2 Jaguar and earlier
LINUX
Recommended Browser: Firefox 1.5
Firefox 1.5:
May occasionally display scrollbars on comments that don't need them
The scrollbar problem occurs far more frequently in earlier Mozilla variants e.g. Firefox 1.07
Konqueror 3.4:
Appears to work OK
Some difficult scripting operations may show a dialog asking if you should continue. It's recommended that you do continue as there are no known infinite loop bugs.
