Loomio bugs, issues and feedback

quick update just now:

fix new subgroup √

fix images in app and in emails for consent and objection √

note that timezone is your local (and name it) under "when can you attend" √

explain things more clearly the notification settings form √

i clicked on 'export' from the dropdown menu in a proposal just to see what would happen and the screen just went blank.(except for sidebar on left...)

or does it only activate once poll has finished?

Hi @Greg Kan ... the poll closed yesterday so it is no longer active. Let me know if there is anything else I can do. Thanks

Hi @Nancy Gibson, can you try hitting the tab or enter key once you've written the text for the option, and then hitting the save button?

@Greg Kan ... I wrote the poll with 5 options but only 4 posted and when I edited the post to Add Another Option, I could write up the text but when I clicked Post it would disappear and didn't get added on. Other people could add options no problem so I'm guessing either user error or a bug specific to the creator of the poll.

i was unable to reproduce nancy's inability to add another option/edit the poll. might have to ask nancy how exactly she tried to do this?

Thanks for saying, good point. I'll sort it out.

FWIW, the variable length coloured bars on polls give me a moment's confusion each time — as the length in other contexts maps to the option's popularity

Three things reported to me by Nancy (and a fourth I discovered) Re: Polls choices

1. Nancy tried to put 5 options in poll, below pictured, but only 4 options came through

2. Nancy then went to edit the poll, or otherwise add option, and was unsuccessful

3. The options' length prevent them from being fully read

4. When I click on long options I can't tell if it is selected or not

@Rob Guthrie

I cannot make a new Subgroup in our organisation, which is called 'The Mobility Factory SCE'. Instead, Loomio creates a completely new Organisation.

Can't seem to clear this (1) Unread in this thread… maybe to do with the share an outcome bit? FF 69

thanks Rob I think that one now fixed... x

@Sophie Jerram thanks so much for the janky jumpy scrolling feedback - I think I've solved all those problems now, (and added a timeline!) so I'd love to know how you find it now.

top left above main menu.

well....that where it was before...🚏yup...still there...

excellent...i can see it going through the same kind of thing in process to the end but one ends up where one is heading without getting deposited elsewhere...like the first page that ended up loading...🗿

ummm - how do I get back to Loomio v.2>? I'm using the original...

If you get a minute, try again now (version, bottom left cnr: 269 onwards), I've changed a setting that might have been contributing to the problem and I'd love to know if you notice an improvement.

I've tried to reproduce it myself, and I definitely did see it jump to the bottom a couple of times, but maybe twice, with many threads and quite a vigorous scrolling.

It’s a laptop. Shall do

Sophie, are you using a mobile or laptop when these scrolling issues happen? Can you please send me a url of a page that is particularly problematic? You may like to send it to me via email rob@loomio.org

i am finding that (in ff 70b14 etc...) i scroll and then wait...and scroll....and wait...etc and it catches up eventually...

patience is a virtue at the moment. still recommending people in our pool check 2.0 out, esp on mobiles...

🗿

ps this a painless way to be a crash test dummy...

Yikes, thanks for reporting this, Sophie. I'll see what's going on.

Hi team apologies if this has already been noted but in loomio 2.0 (Firefox Quantum) I can't scroll to the bottom of the thread- it keeps bumping me back to mid way -probably where i was when i was last online. i am back to using the original loomio

On Loomio 266 / Chrome / OSX the reactions panel turns up at top left of the screen, and scrolls with the thread.

yikes. I'll work on this today.

This poll (on discussion fwX6528a) has finished, and I'm about to share an outcome. I click 'Members of thread' (because in this poll it's everyone in the Ecumenical Chaplaincy group, plus one guest), and only one member of the group is added (it's not the guest):

this don't look right:

That would be nifty

Thanks for the info. Texting could be a really useful Loomio feature eh?

Fwiw: use case for link to share today was for texting slow voters

Use case: planning quarterly board meeting; two members haven't voted and I'm chasing them; meantime some of the dates have become irrelevant, because the date has passed already, or they were too unpopular to be viable options anymore; I'd like to make the experience for the stragglers as simple as possible, rather than making them do the cognitive work to reject now irrelevant options.

@Matthew Bartlett just a further note that right now you can't remove options that have already been voted on

Please try long threads again. It should stick to the bottom if you hit the bottom now (and top if vice versa). However I think it might be a good idea to flip that thread.

Text entry on android/mobile was messed up by menu button overload - it's fixed now too.

Still thinking about link to share poll and the poll options

Thanks RG :)

But I think I'm seeing this load-whole-thread thing on lots of threads

Ooosh! All these things will be fixed very soon.

Can you tell me the thread id and browser you're having thread scrolling issues?

• I can't remove dates after time poll started, though it looks like I should be able to.

• I can't find a link to share a poll

• Long threads presently almost unusable, with every comment loading before I can get to the comment form (and reloading when I scroll back up to context panel), comment form keeps jumping further down as comments load.

• This text box on Android doesn't auto scroll, so I have to swipe up repeatedly when writing a long comment

It was the intention to add support for moving polls too. Thanks for the poke. I've enabled moving polls via the same function which is now called move items.

We have created a check poll to recruit people to work on some topic. After the poll finished we have created a new thread and I wanted to move related comments and the whole check poll to the new thread. It seems that you can move only comments between threads, but not polls. Is this intentional?

undesirable unread behavior with closed threads:

I'm referring to Loomio 2.0. Is there more specific version info anywhere on the page?

I remember now, way back in version 1, that the datestamp had to be copied. But then you tweaked things, and added an explicit 'copy link' option to the comment's actions menu. This was very convenient - and helpfully explicit.

Which version, mike? FYI, the date stamp is a link which you can copy.

I just discovered that this present version of Loomio no longer has 'Copy link to clipboard' as an option on posted comments. Do please restore this useful function. Thanks.

Thursday & Friday

Support for older browsers including MS Edge 17 (at least .. booting the app)

Fixed a massive memory leek on thread page (no more crashing tabs) 🐲

Make outcome stand out on a poll card

expose close/reopen poll buttons on the toolbar

make group page tab text more visible

prevent jittering on proposals in a thread

sticky footer

convert time poll chart back to a table🗽

i Had wondered if linking tween the platforms was....problematic...🗿

loving 2.0 and i have started encouraging members of our group to try it.

No worries, good to check. Linking the name in the old client is a little hard.

i was wrong. sorry to assume based upon an apparent format change.

why is there no seemingly active link like there used to be?(that also functioned as an indication that i had got the formatting correct same as here...)

and majorly... no reply from people who are active. i will double check again if they are being received or just ignored.

i am quite happy to be wrong.😌

Uhmm... nope. If I mention someone from Loomio 2, and they're on Loomio 1, it'll work just the same.

You can even use the notification history feature to track if they've opened the email or notifications dropdown

a thing i had wondered...and can now confirm... an@ mention here does not transfer to 1.0.

i had wondered why people were not responding. @least they are not dead...

🎲

ditto🗿

I hear ya. I'll keep listening for a bit more.

I'll flip the nav with a flipped thread v soon.
