Not possible to click follow

[thomas1602]

@stefanoortisi it's not possible to click follow on users from the explore page any longer, also on users profile pages

[hems]

it works for me on chrome, osx on beta.loopcast.fm

what doesn't work for me, is for instance if i go to my profile, then a room, then to explore page then i click "people" then when i click "Follow" the button doesn't change to "Unfollow", but the follow actually happens if you refresh the page.

same for profile, if i go deeplinked it works, but if i navigate from one page to the other the button stops changing when i click

I can now click follow and the button changes but there is a big delay. Doesn't work as smoothly as before - are you waiting to change the button until it follows on the backend now?

[thomas1602]

It seems that the transition is effected by the internet speed?

[stefanoortisi]

yes @thomas1602 , it's exactly how it was working before: the button is changing its state after the backend response. Anyway, I can either disable the button in a loading state while waiting for the backend response, or set it with the final state before the backend response.

Which way do you prefer?

@stefanoortisi i think it should instantly change for the user and then if for some reason an error happen it has to change back.

ideally if you get a "404" on the API ( it means the server is restarting ) you can automatically retry one of two times ( but not infinitely otherwise it will be retrying forever if some bad error happen ).

peace !

@stefanoortisi / @thomas1602 or we could get someone at "fiver" to do us a loading logo using the loopcast loop, or we just make a generic a gif from http://www.ajaxload.info :P

[thomas1602]

I agree it should follow instantly and if the backend responds with an error we change it back and trigger an error message using notify js "Could not follow user, please try again later"

@thomas1602 perfect
