Discourse Narrative Bot Beta Feedback

[tgxworld (Alan Tan)]

Another thing: the setting discourse narrative bot welcome post delaydoes not seem to work. I have it set to 30 seconds but when I just created a new user, the bot’s message was there from the start and the screen turned black immediately as before.

The delay starts counting when he user is created so that might have confused you.

However, I have another welcome message arriving via SSO so would prefer the screen darkening feature to not go away. Could suppressing it be added as an admin option for those who have the delay set and don’t need it? Or wait to darken the screen when the discobot message is sent?

If you do not want the screen darkening feature to stay why do we need an option to suppress it? I’m a little confused by the use case and the request here.

Are you saying that the screen turns black even though the bot did not yet send the welcome message? I’d consider that a bug.

Yes that is what I’m saying. But I am happy it is still happening because of my custom setup that sends another automated welcome message via SSO.

@tobiaseigen May I get the reproduction steps for this? I just tried locally and I do not get a black overlay. The black overlay only shows when there is an unread PM and the user has not read any notifications.
