So if someone replies to a post and then someone replies to the reply then the original replier deletes their comment that might explain the duplication and spinny thing ๐ก . Have I just solved the problem? Quick test it out.
I vote we officially name the spinny thing the Spinny Wheel of Deletion.
I'm ok with that.
Better than the Beachball of Doom on a mac.
S.W.O.D.
Deleted my original reply. Spinny boi showed up. Testing to see if a separate reply will show up
E: whoops. Looks like another reply to the parent erases the spinny wheel from the now deleted comment.
Spinny showed up here too
Very good work. We did it.
I swear the spinny thing used to show up more regularly when there were a large number of comments, and not just with deleted comments (I'd view the same thread while logged in on a desktop browser and be able to see more). Never mind, that must be a relic now...
I think what happens is when comments collapse after 300+ and someone in the chain deletes a comment it shits its self. ๐ฉ
It does suck when it's so easy to accidentally delete comments on mobile at least when you open the editing interface - but then, if that happens you can actually undelete your comment from the same interface for a bit afterwards by clicking on the bin button again
I think what we need to do now is find out why comments collapse after 300+. If that could be fixed then if someone does delete a comment spinny thing comes out but doesn't fuck with chain.
It does - I erased the spinny from my comment below. Good detective work.
Oops. Went into my other account to check it looked the same, and accidentally posted from there. It's like a visit from my Reddit self ๐คฃ
Delete it. See what happens.
It would incur the wrath of the Spinny Wheel of Deletion.
That's ok. It's all in the name of science.
