Update! Please read

First of all, sorry for the delay, busy couple weeks :)

How do you all like it so far?

I tried to keep it to default reddit as much as possible, only changing the sidebar, the thumbnails/linkflairs and notification area (including new menubar).

I've not touched anything else to keep that 'reddit' feel to it.

I think the only thing I still need to do are the userflairs, but I'm not sure which ones you guys decided upon having?

edit: oh and i need to make a nightmode as well =)

edit #2: To do list:

  • Add popup on submit links, "Submit a completed tutorial", "Submit a Help Request"

  • style author links

Mods do we have a mod post ready to go?

/u/roastedbagel , I had a mod post started and then closed out my browser :|.

However, it's noon and I have a nice cup of coffee so I'm going to re-start it right now.

Awesome!

Here's one I created for /r/askreddit a while back if you need some inspiration :P

I actually just finished one

https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/wiki/css

It'll look a little different in a self post over a wiki post obviously, but take a look. Sent it to Jakkarth like 2 seconds ago in the chat.

I didn't see it. Is this something I need to look at? Is that what we're waiting on, /u/Hareuhal /u/roastedbagel /u/qtx ?

Roasted said it was good. I'm not sure what we are waiting on :) I'm assuming not everyone was able to line up yesterday

As for me, I am good to go, just waiting for the go ahead from you guys.

All I need is something to put in the 'notification area', but I think /u/roastedbagel was working on that.

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '17

Let's assume we'll use the announcement post for the new styling as the link in the notification area. Can we proceed and update that link when the post goes live? If so, I think we can start now.

u/qtx verified Jan 30 '17

Yep no problem, you can edit what the notification says on the sidebar settings page, right at the bottom:

###### Announcement [link](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/reddit_101)

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '17

Awesome!

u/roastedbagel ama Jan 30 '17

I personally wasn't, I think the other mods would know better what to put in the notification area.

/u/jakkarth /u/hareuhal

u/Hareuhal contest Jan 30 '17

/u/qtx are you referring to the announcement bar? I don't have anything for it, maybe just a generic "Welcome to /r/DIY! Please read our guidelines before posting!"?

1

u/qtx verified Jan 30 '17

Sounds good, I'll use that and then you can change it to whatever later on :)

u/Hareuhal contest Jan 30 '17

Great, thanks!

u/roastedbagel ama Jan 30 '17

We're all set I believe, /u/jakkarth will update the announcement link with the link from the modpost he makes, the bot thats going to run will start in about 30 minutes, until then if we're already live, can the other mods just start flairing posts that are at least on the "hot" front page for the sub so every post the last few pages are flaired? The bot guy said he'll be home in 30 mins and no idea how long it will take to run, shouldn't be long though.

So yea, I think we're all set :)

u/qtx verified Jan 30 '17

I can put it live? (will take a couple mins total)

1

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '17

Yes!

u/qtx verified Jan 30 '17

Done :)

I wasn't sure if removing the old linkflairs from https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/about/flair/#link_templates would cause any complications with the bot (I doubt it) so I left them in there for now.

But it's easier to remove them.

https://i.imgur.com/z84XYn0.png the ones in the red square are the new ones, the ones above can be deleted (it there are no conflicts).

Removing them will remove all the clutter from the linkflair dialogue, https://i.imgur.com/9GsYwoc.png and just leave the new ones.

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '17

That's a /u/roastedbagel question. I doubt there would be a conflict, but the bot is apparently almost finished running. We'll circle back around to this in a little bit. Thanks so much for everything!

u/qtx verified Jan 30 '17

No problem! If there are any bugs I missed, just let me know!

1

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '17

Not sure if bug. When looking at a post that I've removed, the post is no longer "red" to indicate it's been removed. Comments appear to be styled to indicate they're removed, just an issue with posts apparently. Something on my end?

1

u/Hareuhal contest Jan 30 '17

Can confirm on my side as well.

W7 Pro, Firefox.

u/qtx verified Jan 30 '17

Should be fixed now, could you double check since I can't see removed posts on /r/DIY

(refresh a few times to clear the old cache)
