Bugs and Suggestions for Metabunk.org

[Mick West]

There's a subforum called "Elections" whose description is "investigating and debunking disinformation regarding the 2020 US elections.



Is that description a bit out of date now? Could it be expanded to other US elections or elections in general? Or maybe even politics?

Changed to "Investigating and debunking disinformation regarding elections."

Thanks.

I'm presuming there'll be the same level of noise this year as 2 years back, so the forum will continue to be needed, and removing the year reference certainly makes sense. Additionally, with elections of some type or other every 2 years, and campaining going on for so long, very little in US politics isn't to do with the aftermath of or build-up for an election, so it's hard to separate the two.

There are already fourteen pages here. Perhaps it would work better for a discussion of individual items if we started a new thread per election cycle.

I think the Posting Guidelines should not be hidden under an info tab.
(although they should maybe also be rewritten since they seem a bit obsolete as of late.)

saved it like this and the formatting is gone, and does not show up in source view either

Do you remember when it last worked?

I don't remember when I first noticed it not working. Like the font size thing, it's been going on for a while now.

Not sure when it last worked. Might have been a year or more since I last tried to use it.

On my phone, I only get page navigation on the bottom of the posting list. I use the Firefox browser and I'm not sure if that's a bug or the intended design, but would sure like the page navigation "widget" at the top, as well, especially since there's the "go to top" button which would have great synergy.
