Wouldn't it be obvious that anons would use comments instead of discussions since they can access it? You can't compare this wiki to a wiki that doesn't have comments and say "it doesn't disprove anything" when anons would be forced to make accounts in the latter. Reddit, amino, twitter, discord, etc exist as alternatives that people use more instead of making a fandom account

Yee I definitely think I understand the issue better now, since the bug is causing you to go to the file page then, as an anon, you just get bounced somewhere else.

Why does this only affect chrome? Is it actually clashing with the cookie block?

Fandom should care more about fixing issues rather than getting more page views

Discussions doesn't support wikitext, by design.

Why? This seems like another questionable design choice. It'd be much better to be able to link to things than telling someone "hey look this up" or pasting an entire url

That should be doable via the "hot" (i.e. trending) layout vs the "new" (i.e. recent) layout. Is the trending layout not doing this well enough?

Hot and new show the same threads in almost the same order so it's either terrible design or it's bugged. Is hot based on views and not comments? Recently commented threads don't move around at all, a thread where a user commented is still below one that no one commented since yesterday

but I agree that this is not an optimal way to be notified.

Yeah, I'm not going to follow every last post when I'm not interested in them

Checking [/f/reported /f/reported] often is recommended

Isn't reported for threads that users have issues with like with vandals?

Are you expecting it to expire after a certain amount of time? Or is it not going away after you click it?

The notification sticks around as long as I'm on the same wiki, it no longer shows up on others. I've had a similar issue with featured videos where the video would stick around even after I logged in

It's frustrating to me too, but Fandom is bogged down in supporting the UCP currently & so Discussions upgrades have fallen by the wayside.

Aren't these suggestions common sense choices that should've been included from the beginning? Shouldn't fandom have addressed these issues first before creating even more problems with UCP?
