Is it just me? Or did someone finally fix forum notifications so they link to the right place?

If someone fixed it, hooray!!! laugh

What about fixing the spam problem, though sad

A pretty small task.

When I wrote a personal spam blocker for 7 Cups months ago it took me a couple of hours at most. Since then I've completely re-written it to make it faster, spending maybe another couple of hours to do that.

Today I noticed spam from several listener accounts. I had programmed my blocker to trust listeners. Oops! Modifying it to block this new kind of spam took maybe five minutes.

@AffyAvo - Has this type of spam been reported? This is literally the first I am hearing of it.

@ObviouslyKrink I think so, others were mentioning/flagging it before I even saw some. I haven't seen any recently, it seemed to be a few days were it was coming up.

An unrelated matter—the Crazy Face emoji that you pasted in your reply doesn't display on my computer. I just see a square. This is (partly) because 7 Cups doesn't include any font that supports all the emoji. But I hestatate to mention such a minor thing when there is all that spam.

Wow! 73,458 bugs! I'd never have guessed.

Oh, now that I think about it, maybe that's because the app doesn't let me log in at all, so I probably don't see most of them wink

@RarelyCharlie - are you on a recent Android OS? Our Trigger framework is currently choking on Oreo :(

This is on iOS 10.3.3. The web version of the app is the same.

speaking of notifications - I wish I were automatically notified of new threads in this forum!

Yes, @RarelyCharlie, we finally finally finally fixed forum notifications in the browser, thanks to @ezraBC and Bilal, and at least for now the app at least goes to the correct forum page if not yet to the specific correct reply/post.

@ObviouslyKrink - oh whoops. responding in my test member acct. Derp! (signed @krinkthemellowunicorn)

But not quite finally finally finally finally, because it still doesn't quite go to the right place—the navigation bar is in the way. That will be very easy for @ezraBC and Bilal to fix, though, just as soon as they've dealt with the spam laugh

I would happily share the CSS I use to fix it, but the last time I shared some CSS nothing came of it.

@RarelyCharlie - I am woefully inadequate at fielding this kind of support :(
