I tried to submit a registration request four days ago. After clicking the submit button, I got a spinning wheel. This went on for several minutes. Thinking it might have been the Safari browser, I tried it again in Chrome and got the same thing. After a couple of days, I tried to log in and also got the spinning wheel. I left that page open for a couple of hours with no response. Is this and issue with running on MacOS? Could the request have gone through and response didn’t get back to me? I can try again on iOS or iPadOS.
that’s interesting - I came with the wave and it has been happening since I first set up the instance. I am also seeing it on a local dev system that isn’t even accesssible from the internet - not a UI developer, but will have a crack at trying to figure out what’s going on here. It’s a very frustrating issue.
There are a lot of issues. Like, I’m seeing four identical copies of your reply. I’m pretty sure there aren’t actually four copies in the thread, and they are only on my message screen. Lots of little things like that. I figure they are just growing pains, and I’ll wait them out.
yes, most of the quirks can be overlooked but the registration process is pretty critical to encouraging signups and participation. We’re never going to become bigger than reddit at this rate /s
500,000,000 users vs. 150,000 users? We can do it! <waves pom-poms in air, does cheerleader kicks>
Having the registration process hang will discourage the non-technical user. Maybe some mention of the issue on the registration page might be useful. If there had been an explanation and said to do what was brought up in this thread, I certainly would have followed the instructions and felt better about the issue.
