Great new additions! I can foresee a lot of mileage out of the countdowns.
Ah, good to know this wasn't my internet.

2020 End of Year Tech Update: Tickets, Thread Title Edits, Countdowns, More!
- Thread starter b-dubs
- Start date
Any chance we'll ever get folders for Watched Threads, or a way to split Gaming/EtcetEra from Latest & Trending?
Those are the last two big things I want
Love the timer update, will make things easier when trying to work out when big events start

Great updates! I hope that thread creators being able to edit their own typos in their threads will cut down on a bunch of reports for you folks so you can handle the more serious issues more quickly. I'm not sure how many of those simple reports you got each day, but it still took time out of your other stuff to do. Also cheers for the time/date preference update!
I was wondering what Tickets were. The improvements to Alerts will be so nice. And hopefully title editing for OP will cut down on the silly useless page full of jokes about a typo. Next you need to let the OP move their thread to the other forum within 5 minutes because that seems to happen more often than title typos.

With the new ticketing system, will we actually get replies to our inquiries?
Yes please
Yes please
I really like the countdown (and count-up) feature! Two suggestions for future versions:
- Could we get an option to insert an "and" before the last unit of time in a sequence? (e.g., "2 months, 4 days, and 17 minutes", "4 years and 6 months", etc.) It would make the timers read a lot better when inserted in the middle of a sentence.
- An option for timers with forced single units; for example, a days-only timer even when it's been more than one month/year. (e.g., "833 Days" instead of "2 Years, 3 Months, 11 Days").
Do you have an adbocker or other extension in place that might be mucking with loading?was hoping this would fix the bug on iOS safari where the page never completely loads but that's still present. the "X" to stop loading is still always present
edit: and sometimes the load bar never finishes
Thank you really appreciate the added user edited titles option! I've reported so many of my thread titles with spelling mistakes hahahaha.
There is now a word-counter under the reply editor
It doesn't update instantly (every 0.6s at most), so should be OK for even slower devices.

What kind of wait should we expect before any kind of response is given on a ticket?
I feel personally attacked by the word counter in the input box. 🤬
Will be turning that off or hiding it :D

What's your thought on the new word counter?
So ERA what's your thought on the new word counter introduced on the forum? Do you like it, do you not like it? 25 Words

I've decreased the time the word-counter script waits before re-computing the word-count. It doesn't run immediately as otherwise it risks being a CPU hog.
Fixing the "1 Words" thing needs some more work, we can change the phrase so it is "Word(s)" but 1 word posts aren't exactly super-common.

Should be done. There are a bunch of places where the UI doesn't quite have as much padding or whitespace as it should, and are slowly being polished over time.
It is some javascript I've written as part of the software Resetera uses. The bb-code only mode integration was more complex than it should have been and why despite the majority of the feature existing for over a year it hadn't been "default on".
If you're using something like uBlock Origin then you can click on the word counter and "block element".
Fucking finally. That took way too long!
Any chance of getting auto dark mode?
Anyone else who thinks the site feels unresponsive since this update? Scrolling in particular feels very jerky. I noticed it immediately after the update, but I figured my own browser was probably the culprit. Except other sites don't have the issue, nor did restarting both Firefox and then my laptop solve the issue.
It doesn't happen all the time, but often enough for it to be noticeable. I haven't been able to find a pattern. For example, it happens on pages that just loaded as well as tabs that have been open for a while. It happens on pages without images as well as pages with relatively many of them. If anything it seems to come in spells, where the entire forum displays this behavior for 5 - 10 minutes before it returns to normal.
I'm using Firefox 83.0 on macOS Mojave 10.14.6.

We've deployed an update to the Tickets feature allowing banned members to access it. This should help make ban appeals much easier for everyone involved.
The word-counter only executes (once, after a short delay) if text is add to the reply editor. This isn't something people normally do when the page is scrolling.
Reporting an issue that needs fixed:
If you go to Tickets -> Open New Ticket the Verified Account Request explanation links to the wrong thread.
It links to https://www.resetera.com/threads/verified-member-program.2971/
But the actual thread is https://www.resetera.com/threads/verified-member-program.314242/

Hello. I submitted a ticket that was "Rejected" without a reason given. It read as follows:
For some clarity, I have a list of domains that hotlink from us a lot so I can serve smaller images to them which saves a ton of bandwidth. However, I can't add ResetEra to that list because its referrer is disabled site-wide.
As I also said, I think it would be fair to credit websites for their images with some sort of automated system.
