We could place the items in a grid. That would be...OK. But there'd be odd whitespace.

Yes, there is that too, but now we are looking at the blades of grass deep in the forest of trees... Poke tongue | ;-P

Grid is my preferred over flex for a lot of things too... Big Grin | :-D

An item with a nice thumbnail next to an item without will result in a chunk of ugly whitespace. That's specifically what I was trying to avoid.

Still - it's 2 seconds to play around and see how it looks.

Yeah, placeholder image is required. Moving Title to under the image also fixes ugly misalignments. It was worth a try ...

Oh wow, it is live ... OMG | :OMG:

I gather you're going to compact the articles that have no image... I still think that the tags should be pushed to the bottom of the card and leave the gap with the description > text.

While I ponder what to do about missing thumbnails, variable length titles, and whether to compact or be spacious or get Masonry to do magic, I added a complication at the bottom of the homepage feed that may be of interest to some.

Timeline landing page alignment issue

22-Sep-22 17:19

I like the swapping and remembering the choice...

Would it not be better to put it at the top? Maybe as well as the bottom...

As for the image, maybe a faded version of the image that I suggested. Better than a blank area while you decide...

I was literally about to remove that page. It's a holdover from when we were first testing the timeline system. Thanks for the report

In that case I'll update and clean up that page.

And by update I don't mean make it like the homepage. I'll leave it single column. It'll take me 5 mins and will be an interesting contrast.

Problem adding comments/replies in QA

Change looks good, thank you.

I have noticed something ... "Projects" are missing from the feed.

Thumbnails changed

The thumbnail for all of my articles has changed.

- The uploaded thumbnail is gone.
- If it is uploaded again, it disappears, maybe because the article doesn't call it out.
- If the article contains an image, it's used as the thumbnail.
- If it doesn't have any images, there is no thumbnail at all.

Hi Greg,

Do you have a slightly bigger version of your thumbnail? If you can email it to me I'll go through all your articles and replace them all. (they get resized to 300x200 to give you an idea)

Thanks,

Trying to reply to a meesage in QA I keep getting the following popup:

. So I try again before giving up. However, when I refresh the page, the "rejected" comments then appear. Which leaves the entry a little untidy. It happened in the question at CRUD + mysql in forms[^], but have not tried other entries yet.

It looks like we had a small outage at that time. Sorry about that. Please let me know if it's still happening.

I am seeing one null-ref issue I'm fixing this morning, but that doesn't seem related

cheers

It seems to be only in the QA entry at CRUD + mysql in forms[^]. Other entries seem fine.

Trying to post a comment to the OP's non-solution consistently displays the error. And it happens immediately, so it's not the usual timeout error.

The network request fails with a 500 error after 340ms. The response body is simply:

JavaScript

{"Message":"There was an error processing the request.","StackTrace":"","ExceptionType":""}

I can email you an HAR of the AJAX request if it would help.

That'd be good. I'll dig in.
