BlueFalcon95 17:19

https://lsd.law/schools/states

esoterica 17:19

for number of schools

BlueFalcon95 17:20

Yeah, many factors that go into that. IMO. Like UCI/DAvis should be higher ranked and UCLA/BERK/SLS should be lower.

BlueFalcon95 17:21

Chat disappeared on me when I went to other pages.

Connecticut 17:21

it only lets me chat likewhen im on the profile

BlueFalcon95 17:22

Weird. Lets me chat on most of the pages but will randomly disappear.

esoterica 17:22

im gonna try to type

esoterica 17:22

oh wow

esoterica 17:23

if u type when the chat doesn't show up it comes back when u go back to profile

BlueFalcon95 17:23

Indeed, I did that with the link I dropped.

esoterica 17:24

we're such good beta testers you guys

esoterica 17:24

my lil guinea pigs

BlueFalcon95 17:24

Yeah, click back and forth between schools and rankings and it disappears.

esoterica 17:25

she withdraw on my recent decision till I Georgetown university

BlueFalcon95 17:26

Lol, yeah Dean Andy didn't like my cocktail video that much I guess. Should have made him the sleepy cosby cocktail.

BlueFalcon95 17:29

@cryptanon idk if this is possible, but if you can, please add a place where you can delete accounts so I can delete all my garbage accounts.

BlueFalcon95 17:30

I get real OCD/Autistic about having accounts I don't use anymore floating around with my botnet emails attached to them.

InconclusiveTemporaryBlackbird 17:40

Clicking on your own profile in the recent decisions takes you to the main page, not your profile.

ForTheLoveOfGyoza 18:18

only lets you chat when on a user profile

ForTheLoveOfGyoza 18:19

why are the graphs so small? You cant even see individual bubbles, its just a giant mass of red, yellow, or green. Make it so we can make graphs bigger, else they are useless besides a 30,000 ft overview

ForTheLoveOfGyoza 18:21

and why is the LSAT vs Date graph gone?

ForTheLoveOfGyoza 18:27

@cryptanon plz fix

[A] cryptanon 19:28

things on my radar:

[A] cryptanon 19:29

* On the application page for the user profile, these schools should be ordered by school rank. * lots of chat problems. will fix up chat performance and make timestamps visible by default, decrease/adjust mobile ads to be less intrusive * yield % is gone? * rankings page vs. school stats don't match up

[A] cryptanon 19:29

* graphs - clicking on self profile is broken, rendering of dots is weird/maybe adjust graph size

[A] cryptanon 19:30

@BlueFalcon95 - email at [email protected] from the account emails you want to delete and i'll take care of it. that's an active choice on my part to discourage people from using LSD and then deleting their profiles and data at the end of the cycle

[A] cryptanon 19:31

@ForTheLoveOfGyoza - graphs now have adjustable X/Y axis on the admissions tab - you can recreate the LSAT vs Date graph

ForTheLoveOfGyoza 20:34

nice touch with the adjustable x/y axis

bigfatsloth 20:59

yo wtf

bigfatsloth 21:00

lsd law dropped dark mode

c0bra1 23:29

i like it

c0bra1 23:30

@cryptanon: i assume the reroute to main page when clicking on certain profiles is behavior for private profiles - should probably change that to something similar to what it used to be

c0bra1 23:31

and make the searchbar for schools/users appear at the top again so people dont have to do multiple clicks to open the menu and get the correct tab

QuickShyCattle 23:38

damn when did they update the whole site

c0bra1 23:40

@QuickShyCattle yesterday

c0bra1 23:41

@cryptanon would also recommend the own-profile tracker colors to match the school-wide admissions tracker so that accepted in one place doesn't get confused with accepted, attending in another place.
