12:25:57 <selsta> ErCiccione[m]: btw should we activate the upgrade banner on the website?
12:34:05 <ErCiccione[m]> yeah, good call selsta
12:35:42 <ErCiccione[m]> doing it now
13:09:19 <ErCiccione[m]> https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/pull/1202
13:09:25 <ErCiccione[m]> selsta ^
13:37:09 <fluffypony> Hi Riccardo,
13:37:09 <fluffypony> Your RSS feed at https://web.getmonero.org/feed.xml
13:37:09 <fluffypony> shows wrong links, could you fix it please?
13:37:09 <fluffypony> Matteo.
13:37:14 <fluffypony> cc ErCiccione[m]
13:39:43 <ErCiccione[m]> fluffypony i already PRd the fix: https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/pull/1164
13:39:52 <fluffypony> ok cool
13:40:08 <ErCiccione[m]> I already pinged here from time to time asking to review it because it's actually an important PR (fix the baseurl)
13:40:58 <fluffypony> I'm reviewing now
13:41:23 <fluffypony> pretty simple
13:41:44 <ErCiccione[m]> Thanks
13:42:43 <ErCiccione[m]> .merge+ #1164
13:42:43 <xmr-pr> Added
13:50:21 <ErCiccione[m]> Lugi1111 please merge 1164 when you can
13:55:40 <ErCiccione[m]> waiting for another approval of 1202 before adding it to the merge list. That's another PR we should merge soon btw
14:35:57 <selsta> don't lime 1202 in its current form on mobile
14:35:59 <selsta> like*
14:36:19 <selsta> it is huge keeps reopening on every link you click
14:37:07 <selsta> would prefer on home page only
14:42:14 <asy> which mobile browser did you try selsta? i only used the mobile emulation in firefox dev tools but it seems okay there
14:42:38 <selsta> safari
14:43:25 <selsta> it shows up every time I click on something
14:44:40 <asy> yeah it shows up on every new page here too, there's nothing to remember that you've dismissed it
14:46:12 <selsta> don't think that's ideal
14:46:22 <selsta> reminds me of reddit annoying me to use their app loo
14:46:23 <selsta> lol
14:47:03 <asy> half of the screen can be this banner, the top half of the screen can be "install the monero community website app" ;)
14:47:29 <selsta> noooo
14:47:31 <selsta> :D
14:50:58 <fluffypony> hah hah
14:51:06 <fluffypony> and then we just have some open-source alternatives
14:51:12 <fluffypony> like Orange Alien
14:52:47 <selsta> didn’t Reddit buy Alien Blue
14:53:27 <selsta> and they killed it afterwards
14:53:56 <moneromooo> My god, first contact and they kill it ? NOOOO
15:00:23 <fluffypony> moneromooo: it eventually formed the basis of a Stargate SG1 episode, so it's fine
15:09:28 <moneromooo> Indeed.
15:29:13 <ErCiccione[m]> selsta: When it was homepage only people complained that going on every other page wouldn't give you the info. Especially when on the downloads page or in the user guides. About the fact that appears on every link, i don't know if that's avoidable since afaik there is no way to keep track of the user clicking on the banner using only html + css. I could be wrong tho
15:30:08 <ErCiccione[m]> About the size the only way to make it smaller is either reduce the font or use less text. I'm not a fan of any of the two options
15:30:40 <selsta> did you test it with a mobile phone? it is super annoying
15:30:53 <selsta> not sure if there is a better solution
15:31:24 <ErCiccione[m]> yeah i always test both desktop and mobile.
15:31:32 <ErCiccione[m]> We can keep it homepage only
15:31:45 <selsta> it takes like 1/3 of the screen and it keeps showing up no matter how often you dismiss it lol
15:31:47 <ErCiccione[m]> but that would reduce a lot the efficiency of the banner
15:32:35 <ErCiccione[m]> Alright, i'll just put it on the homepage only and reduce the padding
15:32:46 <fluffypony> moneromooo: was that a Teal'c reference?
15:33:41 <selsta> does the current website use cookies?
15:34:22 <fluffypony> selsta: only CF's duid so that you don't get prompted to confirm your browser each time
15:35:04 <fluffypony> the site itself doesn't
15:35:09 <selsta> any way to add cookies for this banner without getting in GDPR trouble?
15:35:35 <moneromooo> Take a guess :)
15:35:38 <ErCiccione[m]> Nope
15:35:58 <ErCiccione[m]> Well, maybe that would fit as "technical cookie"
15:36:10 <ErCiccione[m]> but i doubt it
15:40:57 <selsta> fluffypony: do you have a template for the mailing list that a network upgrade is upcoming?
15:41:46 <fluffypony> selsta: no I would just write it up from scratch each time
15:41:53 <fluffypony> you're welcome to take a previous announce and rework it
15:52:56 <ErCiccione[m]> selsta: What about shortening the text of the banner to "Make sure your software is up-to-date with the October 17th network upgrade: Download Monero 0.17 "Oxygen Orion"."
15:53:12 <ErCiccione[m]> basically removing "To continue using Monero after that date,"
15:53:32 <ErCiccione[m]> along with padding and size improvements the banner would be much smaller
15:54:03 <ErCiccione[m]> If we prefer to only have it on the home anyway doesn't matter that much tho
15:59:38 <ErCiccione[m]> Sadly all layouts are based on each other except for the home. So it's either all pages or only the home
16:05:31 <ErCiccione[m]> Alright, pushed. The banner is only on the homepage now
16:07:26 <selsta> ok thanks
16:07:47 <selsta> I'm allergic to these banners these days :D, only on the homepage is better IMO
16:08:17 <selsta> though monero's banner is not hostile compared to other websites
16:09:34 <ErCiccione[m]> I'm not a fan of having it only on the home, but i understand that it was annoying. I guessed that even trimming text and padding, if you find it annoying before, you'll find it annoying after too, so probably better just remove it.
16:12:25 <ErCiccione[m]> ^ Just to make sure my tone is not misunderstood for polemic. I meant to say that probably going from being big 1/3 of the page to 1/4 of the page wouldn't have made it less annoying if you found it annoying before :P
16:12:36 <ErCiccione[m]> *as polemic
16:21:49 <selsta> yep i think it's better now
