"1 new or updated topic" on user's topic list page after straight after replying

Contribute Bug
1

I apologise if this has been covered before, I’ve looked but I have not seen this talked about. It has been happening since as long as I can remember.

  1. Read to bottom of topic
  2. Type a reply and as soon as you finish and click “Reply” immediately return to the main list of topics.
  3. The user is given the notification that there is a new/updated topic at the top.

  1. When user clicks that item the the topic list is refreshed but there are no new notifications next to any topic.

(also works when submitting a new topic)

I am using Chrome, and we are on the latest version of Discourse 1.4b3 (although it has happened consistently through several versions). As such I’m not sure it classifies as a “bug” but it can be confusing to users.

I’ve posted a lot, and on a lot of discourses.. and have never seen that. (I’m also using Chrome)

How many people click on the list immediately after posting?

It’s a timing issue, and I don’t really think it’s worth fixing.

I’ve seen that more than I would like to in the past few months. This is even easier to reproduce when you close a topic and then go back to the topics list. The automated message that is posted on your behalf should not generate a notification.

I think it is worth fixing, but its a bit tricky to fix, after you reply we got to poison the “back” cache. But then … the issue is that we still got to maintain scroll position, so its tricky .. cc @eviltrout

I see it all the time because I open the topic in another tab. After I’ve posted a reply and closed the tab so that I’m back at the list, there’s the notification.

While it may be confusing, I consider it to be WAD (Working As Designed).

Here’s what I got after making that post …

I do, every time. I answer a lot of topics, so the typical workflow is to enter a topic, read to the end, write and post a reply, hit the logo in the top left to go back to the topic list. Then get the “1 new or updated”, every time. :confused:

Aaaand just like that, I saw the flash here on meta after my last post. I don’t think I did anything different than what I’ve done in the past, but sure enough, I flashed myself.

이 주제에 대해 아주 늦게 답글을 달게 되었지만, 제가 디스커스를 사용해 온 동안 계속 발생해 온 동일한 문제를 보고하기 위해 왔습니다.

저는 키보드 단축키를 사용하는데, 보통 다음과 같은 순서입니다:

  1. 답글
  2. gh로 홈으로 이동
  3. (…잠시 대기…)
  4. “새 주제 또는 업데이트된 주제 1개”

큰 불편함은 아니지만, 이렇게 오랜 시간이 지난 지금도 이 문제가 아직 해결되지 않은 것이 놀랍습니다…

Hub/iPad에서 가끔 이런 일이 발생합니다 — 여기서 글을 쓸 때 10번에 한 번 정도는 되겠네요. 하지만 제가 그렇게 활발하게 활동하지는 않아서 바로 대응하지 않았습니다. 어차피 시간이 지나면 사라질 테니까요.

하지만… 이런 현상은 여기에서만 경험했습니다. 제 개인 환경이나, 단순히 구경만 하는 것을 제외하고는 다른 포럼에서는 그런 적이 없거든요. 그래서 제 매우 비전문적인 추측으로는, 이 문제가 부하, 피크 시간대, 혹은 너무 많은 일이 동시에 발생하는 상황과 관련이 있다고 봅니다. 아니면 그냥 가끔 일어나는 일일 수도 있고요 :wink:

또한 제가 이야기하는 것이 다른 사람들이 겪는 것과 비슷해 보이지만, 실제로는 전혀 다른 사고일 가능성도 있습니다.
