I think there are two different blobs being discussed:- radio buttons that you use to make choices in polls and searches- little circles at the start of thread titles on "new answers" pages that are either filled or not depending on if they contain unread messages based on your viewing history
― Non, je ned raggette rien (onimo), Tuesday, 13 November 2018 12:58 (five years ago) link
the first of these are the BLOBS, the second just some old circles of no consequence to me whatever

Assuming we are alll talking about the same things the blogs are the bullets next to the thread. They go hollow when a thread you have read before has new answer.
They are working for me.

everyone is using "blobs" to mean those, except for the person who started using the word blobs

it's a good word and i'm not changing it, be the price eternal misunderstanding (also not being able to vote in polls which i don't care about)

Did you try the extension, mark?
Does newer chrome fix this?

The 2018 lists thread keeps showing up in my bookmarks under its original title ('The 2017 album lists thread').

yep, no way to fix that afaik
― sleeve, Tuesday, 20 November 2018 20:33 (five years ago) link
Doesn't removing then adding the bookmark again fix it?

This thread's broken on SNA - there is no Matt DC post and the blob stays on unread
― Colonel Poo, Thursday, 29 November 2018 12:58 (five years ago) link
The solution is to take ILM off SNA, and unbookmark all ILM threads.
― Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 29 November 2018 12:59 (five years ago) link
Matt has probably deleted his post to thread. Add another post, it’ll start working again

Hey guys, I'm not sure exactly what 'search by username' is doing atm but I can at least confirm that it's not searching by username.

just searched for posts by you, and it worked.

Weird. It's pulling seemingly random results for every name I try. Sometimes it'll pull a thread/post that includes a word from the user's name but most of the time I can't tell why I'm getting the results I'm getting.

(NB, I am indeed using double quotes, to no avail.)
― all lite up and very romatic (Old Lunch), Monday, 3 December 2018 17:02 (five years ago) link
want to send me the specifics of what you're searching? email in profile or ILXmail works too

hey why are exclamation points ... showing up as periods

:O
(PS Apparently my problem from earlier was specifically BECAUSE I was enclosing usernames in double quotes. No quotes and the search works fine. So it's all good. No idea what's up with the exclamation marks, though............)

The "exclamation points turning to periods" thing is happening to me, too
― underqualified backing vocalist (morrisp), Tuesday, 4 December 2018 18:56 (five years ago) link
Yeah, the substitution is there sitewide, but I don't know who put it there or why. I could remove it, but I want to know why it was created first. If it was just comedy modding, it can go.
― WmC, Tuesday, 4 December 2018 19:00 (five years ago) link
I’ve removed it, I think!
― stet, Tuesday, 4 December 2018 19:00 (five years ago) link
was it a comedy auto replace by some mod

Just now upon refreshing the page most of the thread titles are suddenly bold...
Is it just me?

Oddly the boldness starts here, in the middle of a thread title and everything below is bold including the thread info that trails it:
