Feature Requests • Re: Open Bug link

2025-01-20T09:21:33

We've just checked out a bunch of code changes, which includes this suggestion, to make the link from the Resources menu go directly to the list of bugs! Thanks for suggesting it!

General Questions • Re: Feature request: private reviews/notes

2025-01-19T06:28:38

The request in the OP is similar to my request here.

Tangentially, I wonder if the new bug reporting section is meant to capture feature requests like this. Not sure where they'd go once the forum closes.

Yes, see this post. It seems, for now, that feature requests should be submitted as bug reports. Based on the original announcement post (see quote below), it seems like they are going to add new functionality to the site for feature requests, probably similar to how the new bug reporting system is, but that functionality hasn't been rolled out yet.

Much of the functionality you might miss in the forum will soon be replicated more organically within Criticker -- things like full reviews, the ability to request features, enhanced user-to-user (and group) messaging, and a brand new design.

+1, I'd like this. My "reviews" are a mix of actual review, and notes to myself ("don't remember this" or "seen 2 eps, no comment yet" is useful to me, not so much to anyone else), plus sometimes I want to make a note about something that was a spoiler and have to circumlocute around it (related spoiler tags thread: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=9461).

Tangentially, I wonder if the new bug reporting section is meant to capture feature requests like this. Not sure where they'd go once the forum closes.

24 Season 3 Episode 18. They are breaking into Stephen Saunder's room & in the end it turns out to be an empty place with a switching relay to make it appear as if his calls are coming from there.

General Discussion • Re: No discussion about closure of the forums?

2025-01-16T19:03:15

I have been a member of this site since December 03, 2006.

It's sad for me that the forums are ending, but it's not up to the users to decide but the owners.

All i can say is "hoşça kal forum."

Feature Requests • Re: Link to PSI breakdown on mobile

Thanks for pointing this out!

You're right -- it's actually a flaw we're aware of, and which we've discussed internally as a team. We're working on an improvement to the mobile functionality, and will be adding the link soon. I think it's just something we overlooked in the initial redesign!

This will be addressed in our next code release. You'll be able to see both new bugs, and those awaiting feedback, within the list of open bugs

This is exactly what happened to me. I submitted the same bug several times as I was under the impression it didn't register.

...There's a bit of logic which is preventing people from seeing new bugs (bugs that are still in triage). We're reviewing that, and will probably adjust it, because allowing people to see all bugs will help reduce duplication...

Might want to consider making it so that when a user submits a bug, that single user can see their own new bug in both the My Bugs list and in the Show Open list, even if no other users can see that user's new bug in the Show Open list while the bug is still in triage. If not, then new bug submitters might get confused and think that their bug isn't showing up, which might lead to more bug reports about how "My bug isn't showing up in the Show Open list" like what I did here in this thread. I'm suggesting a visual change, not a functional one. Basically triage makes sense, but may just want to make bug submitters see their own bug in both places, whereas all other users can't see new bugs until after triage, to prevent confusion.

Or maybe there can be a message of some kind that shows after submitting a new bug that says "Your bug submission will show up in the 'Show Open' list of bugs after approval." Or maybe put this message at the top of the Show Open list, if the user has submitted a new bug that hasn't been approved through triage yet.

Feature Requests • Link to PSI breakdown on mobile

2025-01-15T13:09:19

If I'm using the desktop version of the site I can click on click on the PSI for a movie and it takes me to a page showing how the value was calculated. However this doesn't work on the mobile site, clicking the PSI value doesn't do anything. I have to manually edit the url and add '/psi/'. I'm fairly sure this used to work before the site redesign.

For example
https://www.criticker.com/film/Nosferatu-2024/
https://www.criticker.com/film/Nosferatu-2024/psi/

Thanks

Yeah, we see it!

There's a bit of logic which is preventing people from seeing new bugs (bugs that are still in triage). We're reviewing that, and will probably adjust it, because allowing people to see all bugs will help reduce duplication.

But you should be able to see those bugs if you filter on "Mine", and we'll be triaging them soon!

General Discussion • Re: List of aggregate users / bots

2025-01-14T02:28:12

The Criticker forum is closing (into read-only mode) on January 20th, to be totally shut down eventually. Presumably, once that happens this list will be inaccessible.

As a short term solution, I tried to add the whole list to my bio, but it was over the character limit. So for now, I've made a post on the Criticker subreddit with the list. My username on Reddit is BadCosmonaut-. Anyone who wants to contribute to the list can add a reply there or can message me on here. I'll link to the Reddit post from my Criticker bio, as a (hopefully just) short term solution.

I'm not a fan of having to keep the list off site. In the long run, I'd like to have the list be on the Criticker website itself somehow. I'd prefer a way for preexisting users to be able to Follow the list such that they can have the option to be notified when there is an update, and I'd prefer for there to be a way for new users to find and use this list as well. As new features are added, I'll keep an eye out on how to make that happen. If the devs on this site make some kind of "General Questions/Feedback" system that is publicly visible like I requested here, then maybe I'll be permitted to keep an open post there that people can follow for updates and that is discoverable to new users.

Last edit:

My thread on the Criticker subreddit has been approved by the moderator on there, so the reddit thread is where this list will live until I can figure out a way to bring it back to Criticker somehow, hopefully someday.

I added a new bug called "Line breaks not working in profile Bio". On the "Open Bugs at Criticker" page, my newly added bug isn't showing up under the "Show Open" list. I can see it though if I switch to the "My Bugs" list.

I'm making this bug report here since I'm not sure if you would see it if I submitted it there.
