Animations/GIFs not working after update

[luffy]

Yeah that was kind of joke from me. It's really embarrassing it takes so long to fix such simple issue which is probably caused just by one line of code. Anyway it's a holiday season, so let's be more tolerant.

To be fair, when the dev went in to fix this, it started as one fix and turned into 6+, lol. So who knows what's going on in the trenches of FA code.

Okay, in that case, that's more tricky. I do some coding occasionally, so it seemed to me like a failing condition or something like that. So fingers crossed, the devs will solve this puzzle soon.

Large scale projects are like fighting a hydra, you squish one issue and three more pop-up.

If the project doesn't have proper planning and documentation, and lacks unit/integration tests, then yes that's what you end up with. Small teams can learn from the same techniques as large, professional software houses (I've worked for a few over the years). Of course, since this wasn't done at the start, it's very hard to get into that position now without at least 2-3 full-time developers.

By that logic Microsoft Windows would be bug-free.

I can't comment on how they do things since I haven't worked there, but I believe they did get rid of most of their QA teams a while ago, so yeah... Also, they have to worry about backwards-compatibility so the risk of breaking changes is exponentially higher.

I have. In the 293 other mentions of this on the forum, lol. And if you want updates from staff, the forum is not the place to go. You should submit a Trouble Ticket.

The ETA was the 13th. Then it was the 16th. Now it is... checks... tomorrow. That's as much as I can tell you, as all I do all day is moderate and remove cub content.

This reminds me of that King of the Hill episode where Bill's just randomly marking areas in his yard to try and excavate his septic tank until they just end up destroying his entire yard with the backhoe.

At least in my experience, trouble tickets have been unhelpful with actually getting updates on issues and when they might be fixed. Last ticket response I got said that there was no ETA for the issue regarding broken GIF uploads, but you just said that there's been ETAs for that for the 13th, 16th, and now tomorrow.

And THIS reminds me of that King of the Hill episode where, no matter what ailment someone on the football team has, Coach Sauers just simply says "Take a salt tablet."

"Coach, I'm bleeding...!"

"Salt tablet."

My point being: Instead of sitting around waiting for FA to give updates that don't exist for fixes that will likely never come, we would all do better spending our time watching cartoons.

Apparently I had to just make one more shitty remark. But I won't take credit for the gifs finally getting fixed.

Even though I could.

YAY!! HAPPY HOLIDAY!!
