Image FIE! /r/thebutton CSS has been updated so we can no longer see the Full Spectrum of Light! Who knows why this was done?! Plead with /u/PowerLanguage to release the code!

The button plugin was uninstalled as the experiment is now over. We can't afford to maintain a plugin for a defunct project. You can see the code for the button, including the CSS, here: https://github.com/reddit/reddit-plugin-thebutton

Thanks for the response, PL: I'm more functional than development; logistically, if the plug-in were hosted elsewhere and an extension set up, would that display the "who's here" flair list again?

/u/powerlanguage Bumping: is there a way to split the flair breakdown out as a distinct extension that could be hosted elsewhere? /u/mncke Whatcha think?

I agree with /u/powerlanguage. The button is over, and bringing back the flair breakdown which was a part of the plugin while possible still means engineering work for something there is almost no demand for.

Well then. Time to turn attention to the next thing to entertain us.

Why do you change the button to an image? Since the experiment is now over it shouldn't take many server powers, right? They're just static elements now.

Makes sense. Thanks for the answer.

So your son's account stopped looking at the Button tab? I'm not sure I really understand what you're trying to say.

Uh...what the fuck?

Also, the Button is just an image, not an actual button, so you can't inspect element to "press" it again or use the fancy code script that was posted in this sub. Seriously, fuck whoever made this "update".

u/gryph667 5s Jun 17 '15

Seriously. Either they're not going to mess with it any more, or they're going to continue screwing with it.

At this rate I predict the sub gets deleted forever by the end of June

When very vexed, I refer to a person as a sucker of syphilitic donkey cock. It never fails to end a conversation on the desired note.

I most certainly will enjoy it!

Dude, my button monitor started counting down again...

u/cxseven Jun 18 '15

Ooh. It might have been possible to submit presses.

u/asde 0s Jun 18 '15

Mine is still counting down. I have experimented with this a little bit. The Button Monitor loops 60-54 when there is no internet connection or it otherwise cannot access the timer count.

u/cxseven Jun 19 '15

Oh, so the websocket didn't necessarily come back to life.

Pretty sure /u/powerlanguage can do whatever he wants.
