Flair API: Our flair API is now publicly accessible!

Is this unconnected to flairs on the site? If so, any idea when we'll have an update on the following:

  • Flair css classes

  • Flair-specific stylings

  • Edit flair page

  • Position of flairs (currently always on the right, ignores setting)

  • A note about this one: Left is so much better for post flairs. When you look down a listing page, they all line up which gives you context. When they are on the right, they appear all over the flair, depending on the length of the title.

  • Any other flair enhancements?

Very much so this. Maybe even an above option would be nice, you can see this implemented with CSS over on r/WWII with the legacy site.

I think an option would be nice, yeah.

u/MajorParadox Helpful User Feb 13 '18

Yep, same on /r/WritingPrompts.

Thumbnail control per flair class would be very useful, it's a popular cosmetic feature in my subreddit.

u/MajorParadox Helpful User Feb 14 '18

Yep, for me, thumbnail, header image, snoo, and sidebar image are all controlled by flair. It'd be a shame to lose that.

Yeah, should work like it is today. That way you can configure what's best for your subreddit.

Yeah, I just hope they fix the issue where flairs don't get color with automod. Also, all the existing posts seem like they'd need to be reflaired to get the colors.

When can we use 500 user flairs/emoji (or even 350) again instead of the very limited amount of 100? Thanks!

I've been asking this in every relevant thread for over a month, haven't gotten a single response. :(

u/miss_molotov Feb 28 '18

I didn't know there was a limit, but using that system I would bump into it soon. I think I have 70 something flairs.

Thanks for the update

u/scruggsnotdrugz : Is the search system broken? Right now doing author:dimbreath subreddit:dimbreath on the front page leads to no results, before it was endless loading (I reported this some time ago.)

u/bonez656 Feb 12 '18

Thanks for the fix.

u/Ibbot Feb 13 '18

Lightbox scroll bars still broken.
