When backing out of the submit page you get this question where you have to guess which button does what.

You must choose Discard, please kindly do the needful

Petition to have an option to keep it after it's fixed because I think it's funny

Your task has failed successfully

Your fate has been decided by the app. You must accept the decision to Discard.

(also this is some software gore)

Actually by the colour you might tell which does which. The blue one likely confirms to discard the post and the other one cancels discarding the post.

someone commented above, it's the opposite

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

It's clearly not though? "Discard" discards the post and "Save" cancels discarding and saves it as a draft (I presume).

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

they both look blue to me tbh. I might be colour blind

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

They're both in the blue/grey department but they're definitely quite distinct. However you might not see the difference because of your display settings. (Try turning off any bluelight filters or change your display mode.)

What's your locale? I'm US English.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think it's different if you back out of a post with no text in it... Since your example has text in the box still, it offers to save it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

If there's no text, I don't get a prompt at all

Ah, I figured it out. It's specifically the title field for some reason. Weird that there are different dialogs for the same action.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Ah, that's right. Thanks, I had forgotten that part of the specific incantation to get that bizarre error / discard combo. ๐Ÿ˜‹

Weird that there are different dialogs for the same action.

I agree.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

guess i'll discard

[โ€“] Ddhuud 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Which language? I mean which variant of english... just in case
