Re: [OSM-talk] OpenTrailView - updates

2019-08-29 Thread Stefan Baebler 
Thanks, the uploading works now!

However, I cannot see my uploaded photospheres anywhere on the site, not
even while being logged in, logging in again Neither on the map nor on
some list. Not sure if it was successful or not.

Few suggestions:
- make it so that the uploader sees his own uploads immediately (no pending
approvals etc needed) with a status clearly shown
- allow for lower zoom levels. Panning away from your demo area is slow in
high zooms.
- search box should trigger searching when enter key is pressed
- after login you should remove oauth_token from the URL (either via
JavaScript history.push or http redirect)
- persist current coordinates in the URL, so it is easy to share and
bookmark links (there are plugins for leaflet, eg leaflet-hash)
- make the site more mobile friendly (text is extremely unreadable, buttons
hard to hit...)

Thanks,
Stefan

Re: [OSM-talk] Anonymous comments on notes now disabled

I support this, I've even seen SEO services open notes just to have a "link
back to their site"

[OSM-talk] Anonymous comments on notes now disabled

2019-08-29 Thread Frederik Ramm 
Hi,

after two years of discussing the pros and cons, a decision has now been
reached to disallow anonymous comments on notes.

Up until two days ago, anonymous (i.e. not logged-in) users could create
notes and comment on existing notes; the only thing they could not do
was close a note.

Now, anonymous users can *still* create notes, but they cannot comment
on or close existing notes.

In the long discussions leading up to this decision (see
https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/1543 and
https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/1926) we
agreed that anonymous comments on notes are rarely useful, and when they
are, they come mostly from users who have just forgotten to log in. This
was weighed against recent massive spam and vandalism activities which
rendered the notes system near unusuable in some regions. Perversely, it
is much easier to fight a vandal creating new, useless notes (by just
closing them) than it is to clean up their droppings from existing notes.

Bye
Frederik
