Old profile popouts suddenly only working on bots (and a cool thread about random issues)

[githubguy217]

Just yesterday they were working, as shown in the preview image, but today I found they no longer worked on regular users, but strangely still work on bots. Here is the popup shown when clicking on my own profile VS the popup shown on esmBot's profile.

[milbits]

yeah they're revamping profiles, currently it looks different for everyone and sometimes changes after a restart so im currently not gonna fix it

[aeonlight]

it looks like the theme's layout is still working on bots because discord hasn't updated the layout for bots yet, just user accounts

[milbits]

yeah

[aeonlight]

honestly I'd be fine even with a theme or plugin or whatever that just reverts this specific profile layout change. I hate it so unbelievably much. the layout the bots are still using was plenty fine enough, and I don't need a degree in graphic design to see the new one is horrendously broken and a completely different aesthetic to the rest of discord.

[milbits]

any plugin for the experiments tab works!

[aeonlight]

I'm not sure how to access that actually

[milbits]

if you use vencord, its this one if you use betterdiscord, its probably this: https://github.com/Friedshrimp-Studio-TW/Discord-Experiments (note that i didnt test it)

if you use neither then idk

[aeonlight]

thank you for the info. either way I'll still be keeping an eye on your project here, because it does look good

[githubguy217]

according to a BetterDiscord moderator, there are no real plugins to access experiments on BD. they said "Cause it's not something we support anymore since Discord plays cat and mouse way too much for it to work for more than a few hours when it's publically spread and idiot children make reddit posts and send emails and make reports about broken features that aren't in the client without being an experiment"

[milbits]

there are countless of plugins not on their website, security varies tho

[githubguy217]

id rather not risk getting my stuff messed up by installing some shady plugin

[milbits]

there's nothing malicious in the code that i could find, else i wouldn't have sent it

but this argument is pointless

[aeonlight]

me when the experiment is removed (I have sent two strongly-worded reports to discord because I'm literally the only person in like 5 of my friend groups who knows how and not a single person I've heard of likes the new layout)

+1 @milbits hate to bother you, but do you have an ETA on a fix for this? the experiment is gone so..

[milbits]

I'll probably work on it on sunday

[milbits]

i forgot that i hate css heres a little tiny bit of progress though

bots are broken now though so thats cool

Just want to say, I really appreciate each and every bit of effort you put in to preserve the desh***ified experience for us, thank you for maintaining this wonderful project! :)

[milbits]

no problem! im glad you enjoy it :D

[KingGamingYT]

The progress here is astounding, do you think getting the user note back in its original form is gonna be too difficult now because not only is it in a hover menu but it's also not editable?

[milbits]

it's impossible

[KingGamingYT]

it's impossible

damn

[milbits]

popouts are pretty much complete now, i just need to find a good solution for statuses and fix some offcenter stuff

working on full profiles now, which is a bit easier gotta say that the headers only being in the full profile is great ui design!

[KingGamingYT]

THERE IS HOPE FOR ROLES

discord actually giving the best of both worlds for once, unimaginable

[KingGamingYT]

status positioning is kinda fucked on both popouts and profiles themselves positioning-wise but a huge applaud for how unfucked you made them

[milbits]

why the shit does it go that low

also I literally listened to Oppenheimer OST while making this lmao

[KingGamingYT]

oh yeah also it looks like there's massive spacing in the friends list on people who have custom statuses??? for some reason???

[milbits]

most nitpicky nitpick of the week

[KingGamingYT]

most nitpicky nitpick of the week

You'll never guess what's back again after being fixed for less than 24 hours

[milbits]

I KNOW :sob: i didnt feel like properly testing my shit today, i have a fix locally tho

okay NOW its fixed

[KingGamingYT]

Also don't know why but for some reason exclusively my OWN profile popout's status has extra space under it for some reason

edit: my favorite part about the friends list bug is that the white space gets larger depending on how long the status is

[milbits]

bugcord

[KingGamingYT]

the latest commit broke statuses again 💀 (they just aren't there) also the note button is just an empty circle on full profiles

edit: also am I insane or is the category (About me, roles, etc) font used on the profile not the correct weight (nvm I am insane the popout and full profile fonts are different)

[milbits]

i noticed the moment you sent the previous comment :sob: its related to the note button thing i just did

[milbits]

edit: also am I insane or is the category (About me, roles, etc) font used on the profile not the correct weight

full profile? yeah it actually is

[milbits]

css is so cool

[KingGamingYT]

the enemy of any oblivious dev: the z-index

[KingGamingYT]

also now might be a good time to note how full profiles are also a lil' fucked (this only happens on profiles with custom themes though)

[milbits]

yeah i was gonna fix them after this

[KingGamingYT]

technically this thread is still related to profiles so we haven't quite gone off topic yet

this is the thread for profiles and the other one is the thread for the user menu 😆

[KingGamingYT]

.nicknameIcons_c32acf > div[aria-label]:after {
content: attr(aria-label)
}

I dunno how you're doing on notes, but this snippet lets you reveal the raw text without hovering over the icon. You won't be able to edit it but you could probably style it for how it used to look

[milbits]

shit I forgot that attr() exists, this is nice thanks

[KingGamingYT]

not a huge deal but game details are definitely smaller than they used to be I promise I'm not schizophrenic

[milbits]

you're definitely a schizo

wait maybe you're right

[KingGamingYT]

It definitely was

[KingGamingYT]

Okay looks like it might vary based on the game or program which is weird (the icon, the text is still small)

[KingGamingYT]

things I'm noting to myself about popouts and full profiles I because attempted fixes for them yesterday and couldn't get them working correctly

• The sub-text/description of rich presences are too small, corrected to 14px (already done)

• The name of the activity is supposed to have some slight transparency

• "Protip" message is missing (doesn't really matter but might as well note it)

• Entire expanded profile header is meant to be colored with rich presence + maybe be able to yank it out of the "activity" tab?

• "Playing a game" text in expanded profile isn't styled (the selector for this text is painful I hate it)

reference images:

in conclusion: I'm nitpicking so hard tonight

[milbits]

Entire expanded profile header is meant to be colored with rich presence + maybe be able to yank it out of the "activity" tab?

practically impossible unfortunately

"Playing a game" text in expanded profile isn't styled (the selector for this text is painful I hate it)

you can add a \ before the / like this: .text-xs\/semibold_dc00ef

"Protip" message is missing (doesn't really matter but might as well note it)

pretty sure you cant just make "protip" green and the rest gray

[KingGamingYT]

I live in spain without the s (they need to be turned around)

edit: fixed it, pretty happy with how it looks now overall (according to another screenshot I found they removed the "protip" part along with the green at some point in November 2020 so if I wanted to be lazy I could scrub that out)

the screenshot in question:

[KingGamingYT]

pretty sure you cant just make "protip" green and the rest gray

oh yeah I found a dumbass hack for that
