Bug Reports for Sunday 7/21 Update
I’m not sure if this has already been brought up yet, and if it has been sorry for the repeat.
I just went to look through my cupboard for a specific company’s teas and I can’t sort anything by name/company/etc. There’s no drop down selector or anything. It just has all the teas listed in pages in absolutely no order that I can figure out. Which is a huge pain in the butt since I can’t find anything now.
Also it says I’ve drank everything in my cupboard 1 time, even the stuff that I haven’t drank at all yet. I’m not sure if the teas I’ve drank more than once labeled as such since I can’t find anything to check and I don’t feel like sorting through the 13 pages in my cupboard.
If this is happening to other people, I can’t imagine how the people with larger cupboards than mine are finding anything. Lol.
I mentioned the menu problem a few pages back, I noticed it yesterday. Right now I’m not finding anything…heh, guess that means I’ll have to start drinking my swap teas that haven’t been added yet.
The menu to sort was removed as it was causing issues. It is supposed to come back once other things are dealt with, I think. We all have this issue! :)
Hi Jason,
I just realized that none of my posts are showing up in the tasting notes on the dashboard page.
They are showing up on my own tasting notes list.
They are also showing up on the tasting notes list at the bottom of the Explore page.
I’m probably not the only person with this anomaly, so there’s my report! Thanks for everything you do for all of us!
I only get notes for a few people on my dashboard. Not a lot of variety and I figured all my regular reads were just taking a break. I guess not!
Yeah, I just noticed that when I went a page or so back and suddenly things were a day old. Since one of Terri’s is the newest on my page I clicked to go to hers and there’s 7 notes not coming up on my dash.
Yep, we’re seeing that too and hopefully closing in on the cause. We might end up moving off our current hosting provider because it becoming increasingly apparent that they’re not great for sites with much traffic.
I liked it better when I had to check the “notify me when this topic is updated” box when I reply to discussions, rather than uncheck the box. I’ll always forget to uncheck the box. Sometimes I don’t want notifications just because I replied to something.
I’m pretty sure it was always checked by default, unless you had previously unchecked it. But maybe I’m not remembering correctly…
I could be wrong, but I think you had to check the box rather than uncheck it. Otherwise, I’d probably be getting notifications to everything I ever replied to. ha.
Actually, I think it’s true that it was always checked, it just used to mean getting notifications for THAT particular comment, not the whole thread. Otherwise the button to get notifications for the whole thread, the blue one in the top right corner, would be useless.
Ah, you’re right Angrboda… I was forgetting the subscribe button at the top. So now with the check button on the bottom I’m following the whole thread.
I’m not entirely sure, but I don’t think I’m getting notifications when someone new starts following me.
Yes, I did get that one, so I guess it’s working now, I just never got a notice when Anna followed me, probably a couple of days ago.
Also yay the discussion post links are working for me on the discussion page and on my notifications page!
Another random one I just came across: when I look at my “Followers” page, the first line of their profile has some coding stuff in place of apostrophes and such. So, the first line of Joy’s Teaspoon’s profile appears like this on my Followers page:
My name is Naomi& # 8230;and I have a tea addiction (& # 8220;Hi Naomi!& # 8221;).
But like this on her actual profile:
My name is Naomi…and I have a tea addiction (“Hi Naomi!”)
Edited: Of course it’s not coming through since the site is actually reading the code, so I put spaces between the codes so that you can see what I’m talking about. In reality there are no spaces.
Perhaps I missed something somewhere, haha. But it appears I can no longer edit/delete topics in the discussion area? Error or did the site change this?
I liked when the cupboard had 18 teas to a page rather than 12 (and actually wouldn’t mind more to a page.)
So what is new since the update anyway? The one thing I notice is I can now find the last page of my cupboard without just hitting a next button.
(Yeah, this isn’t the thread for it, but I would also love to have the option to see all, or at least more pages at once – cupboard, tasting notes, &c.)
Well, before the update had 18 teas to a page, so I’m counting it as a bug. :D
Argh, you all are so demanding ;) …haha. You’re right, we cheated and reduced the number of teas per page on the cupboard so the page would load faster. Looking to increase this number more and more over time in a way that won’t hurt the site’s performance. Definitely on our list!
re: what’s new, mostly behind the scenes this time around. Clearing the way for major updates that are in the works… http://blog.steepster.com/post/55098148555/a-long-awaited-update-about-steepster
Stay tuned ;)
Yay, clicking the timestamp took me to the correct place in the thread instead of page one! :D
Sorry about that! I promise it will be the last thing I mention.. for now. I don’t think it is the 18 to a page that is slowing Steepster.. it’s probably how many teas I have in my cupboard. Time to drink! haha. I can’t wait to see the updates. I mentioned in one of my tasting notes that I DEFINITELY love tea more because of Steepster! So thank you for all the work!
I’m not even sure this is a bug, but the tea rankings on the http://steepster.com/teas page are displayed differently since the update.
Before when sorting by highest rated, the teas would have a secondary sort order to break ties based on the number of ratings. This is no longer the case. For example right now these are both at 92:
Number one tea with 14 ratings — Teavivre Anxi Superfine Tie Guan Yin
Number two tea with 54 ratings — Butiki Teas Premium Taiwanese Assam
Before, the number two tea would be ranked ahead of the number one tea.
There are still some things that we have to fix for the ratings. The calculation that runs has to update periodically to keep things accurate, and it hasn’t been able to run since the update. We’re hoping to get that back soon.
But just to clarify, for 2 teas that each have the same overall score but different numbers of tasting notes, it is possible for the one with fewer tasting notes to be ranked higher. The calculation is not a straight average or based solely on tasting notes, so it considers several factors. Just fyi.
This one’s really weird: I’ve been able to add teas to my cupboard, but for some reason Raspberry Truffle Matcha from Red Leaf Tea (http://steepster.com/teas/red-leaf-tea/29150-raspberry-truffle-matcha) doesn’t work. I click the “add to cupboard” button, then the green “loading” thing comes up in the bottom right corner, and it takes me to my dashboard. I look in my cupboard and it’s not there, nor has the “in your cupboard” button on the tea’s page turned red. There might be other entries that do the same thing, but so far this is the only one I’ve come across.
I’m using Firefox 22.0, if that matters.
I wanted to add a like to an old post and it never worked as asap I clicked on the little heart icon it said loading but bring me back to my profile page.
