Merge as duplicate moderate option broken

Hi @amber, @krisrodriguez.

I was trying to moderate this question as a duplicate with this question and there is no proviso to insert the URL of the first question when selecting merge as duplicate option in moderation in the 2nd question.

Here’s an image to show what I mean.

Update (01/24/2022)

Hi @amber ,

More problems with text boxes.

The boxes shown in the image have moved and you can’t click on them in that position, as they disappear as soon as the cursor is removed from the image, but it still works if you hover over where they should be in the image where the arrow points to.

There is a second problem associated with this in that if you click anywhere in the image including where it used to be, you only get the magnifying option. There is no way to get the other two options on offer

Hi @amber

More problems #3 & 4

In meta clicking on the close Notification “x” doesn’t do anything. The Clear link works and removes all the Notifications.

Funny thing is that it works as it should in ifixit answers forum.

—————————————————————————————

The text box is also missing from this link but as with merge as duplicate, appears when you hover over where it should be. Had to ban a spammer as they were getting too prolific.

What’s the going rate for a software Alpha tester he asked tongue in cheek? ;-)

Cheers

Update (02/16/2022)

Hi @amber,

More problems #5

When clicking on a Notification in either meta or ifixit, you are taken to the relevant page where the notification came from.

However this doesn't clear the Notification from the list of notifications.

In ifixit if you click a 2nd time on the same notification, if you are already on the same page or even not it will take you to where the notification is and then it will be cleared from the list.

In meta clicking on the same notification for the 2nd time, doesn't clear it from the list and the only way to get it removed automatically is to leave the page where it emanated from. Then it is removed from the list.

Obscure I know and doesn't affect anything except confusing oldies such as myself who thought that they've read all their notifications only to find them still listed rather than having been removed after reading

Cheers

Hello @jayeff!

Thanks for pointing that out. There seems to be a bug in some of our text boxes right now. I’ll pass this along as another spot where they’re not working quite right. If you click where the text box should be, it’ll show up. Just being sneaky for now.

Hello @jayeff !


Re: Issues #3 and #4

#3: I’ve reported this bug to our programmers. They’ll get on it ASAP.

#4: I’ve updated my bug report on the hiding text boxes. They’re already working on a solution so this will probably be solved first.

I’m not sure on our rates for Alpha Testers but I know at this rate you’ll be a top candidate!

Bug Update!! I’m going to address all of these just so we have a summary in one spot.

#1 Squashed. This has been solved, all sneaky boxes should have returned.
#2 Squashed. You should be able to interact with those options again and they should appear int he correct spot.
#3 This is a tricky one–they’re still working on it and I checked on it today. I’ll post an update when it’s resolved.
#4 Squashed. This is actually the same bug as #1, so it’s been resolved, as well.
#5 This problem, as far as we can tell right now, is connected to #3 and is still in progress.

I’ll be posting a new thread in Meta regarding bugs, so keep an eye there to report and learn progress on future bugs!
