The +1 point notification being on the left side means it's covering up some of the chatty text. A minor annoyance. It also doesn't work well with all of the other parts of the chatty page for me (on Chrome). The Truncated message under a long thread displays on top of the notification, as does the New Comment button.

Instead of this obnoxious notification, how about at the top, to the right of the search button, or left of Cortex (or replace the word Account) have my site score displayed. Every time I earn a point, it gives a little +1 animation and increases the score. That way it doesn't interfere with browsing the website but is still noticeable.-

Getting lol'd means I get multiple notifications stacking above the other one. I could see this being really annoying for anyone who goes away for a bit and comes back to a stack of notifications that then impedes reading comments while they are displayed.

PRO TIP for those writing articles: Once you publish your article, whatever you wrote in the "COMMENTS OP" section of your post stays that way forever.

In the same way that your posts on the Chatty cannot be edited, this cannot be edited / updated after you PUBLISH! I learned that the hard way. -

I feel like the Corex links in the Chatty should either open in a new window, or open in like a lightbox'd modal in the middle of the screen so that we're not whisked away from the Chatty.

I think it'd be cool if you had Share buttons on the stories since it might help remind people to share the things other community members are writing other places like Twitter or Parler (lol j/k)-
i agree with this. It is the only thing I didn't like about the update. I was hoping for the article opening in the chatty itself but I assume thats not as easy as opening in a little box or something. it is a lot of clicks to read an article and then have to come back to the chatty page and find the thread again and all that. It might be me being particular and i just need to learn a new way of reading things or it is just not user friendly enough. i dont know

Anyone know the full Cortex tech-specs?

I'm probably going to switch the daily Post Summary posts to a Cortex article. However, in order to do so, I need to understand how the cortex post form works. This is what I know so far:
Make a post to https://shacknews.com/cortex/view-cortex-article
Form Data:
article_type=article,review
title=
descrption= (This is short summary under title)
body= (Raw html?)
topic_i]= (Article ONLY) 3684 (chatty), will need to make a list / db of other topics
review_topic_id= (Review Only) only one?
review_good= review pros field
review_bad= review cons field
chat_post_id= comments enabled. 1=comments, 0=no comments
chat_post_message= message to put in the root post, above the article link. 'I wrote a thing!'
id= blank for initial posts, assuming it is used for edits / preview
submit_preview
submit_publish
submit_delete
publish=0
delete=0
topics
Shacknew Mercury = 9692
Chatty = 3684
CHATTY GAME OF THE MONTH = 8866
Chattycast = 6174
Shack Chat = 11376
Chatty Asks 6767
Just Chatting = 12852
ChatChat = 3271
Lola the Pom = 9026
However, there is apparently a requirement for a header image. I'm not sure how that is uploaded / included in the form at this point.
Anyone know more information? -
