Stackbuilder problems

Hi!

Several people already confirmed to me, that their stackbuilder does not work properly. Which button ever you choose for a project ('Yes, I use it' or 'No, I don't use it'), the status-indicator occurs and stays there endlessly. A reload of the page after several minutes shows that the desired operation did not take effect.

For debugging: I'm on Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080211 Firefox/2.0.0.12 on a Gentoo Linux.

TIA for looking into this!
Cheers!

Hi Tobias,

Yes, the stack pages are broken. We're working on a new implementation for them. Thanks for reporting the problems.

Thanks,
Robin

Hi Toby,

I've just updated the stackbuilder design. Please let me know if you run into any problems with it.

Thanks!

Hi Andy!

It seems to actually work quite fine, thanks! :)

However, making the whole list disappear completely and make them pop in again hardly such a short time later hurts a bit in the eyes. Maybe it would be a better idea just to replace the affected entry with the status indicator. Same applies to the current stack list on the right. This one completly disappears, too.

At least that is the behavior I experienced when hitting a No I don't button. I had no chance to try the other button, yet. ;)

HTH!
Cheers!

Thanks and good feedback. I'm working on it now.

Hi Andy!

As we are on it: It'd be nice if one could remove a project from the stack and add it to the ignore list at the same time. Usually if you don't use a project actively anymore, you don't want it to show up in the recommended list directly afterwards, too.

In addtion I found it quite hard to clean up my stack. It has growen quite large and I wanted to remove quite some items I don't use anymore or only use very rarely. In the current state the site will always reload (since the lists disappear and reappear again) and I need to scroll down a lot. I'd rather like to have checkboxes there to remove a couple of projects in one request. This would also be suitable for ignoring multiple projects at once in the stack builder.

In addition this should save you some resources, if people don't send 1 whole request for each project they want to add/remove/ignore.

Cheers!
Toby
