Quoting: liamdawe

Quoting: Guppy[BUG] The paging on notifications does notting at all

Tested this in both FF and Chrome, works fine for me.

Does it not work for anyone else?

I did not really understand what "Paging" was supposed to mean, but everything seems to work for me. The notification icon is in place (unless zoomed on portrait/mobile), the notifications are displayed correctly in the list, I can dismiss them by clicking the blue cross (box on mobile for me), and they are marked as read when I click them. I have some other usability issues, though, but I think I already bothered Liam enough with that :D

Quoting: redshiftConcerning DAL(DC) support on AMD. It looks like AMD's latest code wasn't accepted in the mainline linux.

So much FUD spreading on this topic. Firstly, I have to note that it was a request for comments, not an actual pull request.

The answer was pretty clear: No Hardware Abstaction Layer (HAL). They got some comments, at least. DC will be included sooner or (way) later, by AMD or by the community, but not in its current form :)

@gabsd84: and you also need DC (DAL). At least if you want HDMI/DP audio.
It will be some time before it's merged, because of some fundamental issues with the code. But it paves the way for HDMI 2.0, Freesync, HDMI audio (etc?). Currently, this is the missing part of the "out of the box" experience.

Liam, I just thought about something, and will test-spam you a bit with the like button, as I can't do it on myself. I wonder if it makes notifications pile up.

Nice to see it coming along together. I certainly don't want them to rush the game, so I was quite sad to hear that they would cut many features. Good thing that they didn't cut the Linux version :)

I am especially sad for the horse AI, I still hope they will implement it later somehow (but my hopes aren't too high either).

All in all, I'll have to acquire new hardware to make it run, anyway. I will probably do it for the Half-life 3 release (SteamOS exclusive), so I an not in a hurry :D

Quoting: OLucasZanellaThe notification about likes is amazing, big improvement just that. Since I haven't been quoted yet I'm not sure if it will send me a notification when it happens, will it?
Great work, Liam, this is almost becoming a social network!

I am pretty sure Liam needs to lay the basework for user tagging he talked about in the last article.

I am not sure why, the blue cross shows up as a blue square in firefox mobile, but not on desktop (even with ctrl+shift+m).

There is still some improvements I would like to see; most importantly:
- Stacking notifications: Your post X received n likes \n\n P new replies in the article A's comments
- Dismiss multiple related notifications at once when you click on one, especially for the one that should stack, as mentioned earlier.

I also think that the subscription manager should display a list with common controls and individual checkboxes instead of individual controls :)

Not being familiar with the game, it took me a while to realize that it wasn't the Linux version's DLC, but the full game that was being delayed :)

The notification area seems to be working on mobile devices, now, thank you :)

There's still one thing: I had a couple of notifications for this topic, taped on the first one, read the comments, and noticed that I still had some... For the same topic. It should mark the others as "read", IMO, and maybe combine them to avoid spam.
Again, great job, Liam!

As @liamdawe and @m2mg2 pointed it out, they don't have to. But it's well within their rights to do so.

I will repost the Eff link I put in the comments last time :

It's an interesting and not too long read, especially by lawyers' standards.

Disclaimer: IANAL

That's nice to see them going open source, I could see myself contributing some day (So many open source projects... :D)
