Neospring v1.18.0


Full changelog Support us


Neospring v1.18.0 has been released! Here's a quick summary:

  • A bunch of bug fixes for everything from user status notes to mail sending
  • Major optimizations on the back-end
    • Template build step to compile icons in, as well as add support for "{{ text ... }}" and "{{ icon ... }}"
  • MAJOR Translations (langbeam)

You're now able to contribute translations to Neospring!

To contribute a new language, fork the repository and make a new JSON (.json) file in langs/ with your language's identifier. (for example, English United States is en-US)

Edit the existing en-US file to include translations. Leave keys the same! The only thing you need to translate is the values. I recommend you learn how to read JSON before attempting this.

You must also change the name of the language. The langbeam documentation tells you how to do this. tl;dr net.rainbeam.langs:LANGUAGE_CODE_FROM_FILE_NAME_MINUS_JSON_EXT (for example, en-US.json uses net.rainbeam.langs:en-US).

You can change your language from your profile settings (or the homepage if not logged in). The debug language is available to see what keys affect what.

You are NOT allowed to use Google Translate or any other machine translation service to translate for other languages. You are allowed to use machine translation to translate the English values into your native language, of course, however it CANNOT be used to translate the actual text content.


Thanks for using Neospring! Don't forget, you can support us at https://ko-fi.com/neospring and get some fun benefits if you include your username and contribute $10 or more!

How come I can't block someone who's blocking me back? /genq

It should be no interaction between either account at all anyway. If somebody already blocked you, you have absolutely no reason to block them. They already did it for you.

For the technical reason, we only allow one relationship between 2 users.

can there be a way to hide that new comments tab on your profile/make it private?

I’ll add it later today in the privacy section of your settings. Note it really won’t do much, it just kinda makes it harder (people could still theoretically scrape and pull all of your comments if anybody actually cared)

Added: https://neospring.org/settings/privacy#sparkler:private_comments

Anywho, it exists for parity between responses and comments because they really should be the same thing, they were just designed slightly different.

is it possible to post asks on other social medias? kind of like how if i answered someone on retrospring, there would be an option to also post it on twitter with the question, answer, & link to the answer attached

Click on the ellipsis icon, then under Sharing press "Share to Twitter" (second button)

Markdown <center> (and right alignment) shorthands

You can now use arrows to specify alignment in text:

‐> center <‐
‐‐> right <‐

Previews:

center right

Thanks!

hello there! :) wanted to report a bug that has to do with sharing posts on twitter, here's a few pics so it's more easily understandable:

  • here's what i posted and tried to share: https://ibb.co/f2JYQ7W
  • here's what showed up on twitter: https://ibb.co/gDQmqPk
    basically my first answer is taken into account instead of my second one (the link is fine though, it leads to the right place)

i also had a question/suggestion that has to do with quotes/"answers to answers" lol. is there any way their size could be diminished with a "show full content" option, the way long questions/answers/posts have? i often have the case and while it's fine on pc, with content that can be more or less long it makes scrolling down my profile a bit tedious on mobile. here's an example of what i mean: og answer with show full content button / quoted version, shows in full

used the word "answer" a lot, hope that wasn't too confusing 😭🙏 thank you very much 🩷🩷

Fixed the generated share text. I'll likely get around to adding the "show full content" to embedded responses soon, thanks!

what are the neospring pfp dimensions (if it has any set #'s)

20x20 for basically everything, 160x160 for profile. Go for big because big and low quality is worse than small and low quality

hi uh i've been trying to log in to my account but it kept giving me a bunch of unspecified errors and the NotAllowed error. it won't let me sign up again either because i get the same errors when i try. how do i fix this?

What are the specific requirements for a username to be considered 'hoarded'? -By that, I mean, is there some sort of list, or something of the sorts? If you've answered this before, my apologies.

We look for any signs that an account is or was actively used. We check for friends, IPs(/when the last session was made), mail, chats, stuff in their outbox (anonymous questions included), stuff in their inbox, and obviously any existing responses they may have on their profile.

A single response that is just like "test" obviously doesn't count as an account that is in use.

Whenever i try to make an acc it gives me an error, how do i fix this?

Fixed

anonymous 1733509205222

Why does the message "An unspecified error has occured" show up when I try to make an account? I thought it may be due to the username, but I've tried with multiple and it'd still show the same message.

Fixed!

Reporting a hoarded account, @star

This account does not meet the minimum requirements to be considered hoarded. This account has too many responses and has sent at least 1 outbound question.

hiiieee any idea on how to add 2 fonts to a profile? like for example i want only the 'ask a question' part to be a different font and everything else on the page to be the same, how do i do that?

Don't apply font to body, make it more specific. The selector for the motivational header is .motivational_header.

(Same person asking) I just want to clarify, when I report the user, should I link the posts which I think violate rules? Or just report the account and the admin will review their posts in general

/+r/b75c372618

The specific posts would be most helpful. Otherwise we have to hunt to find out what you’re talking about.

Only report the account itself if the violation is their name, avatar, banner, or biography.

Every can be reported specifically for a reason: chats, messages, responses, questions, comments, etc. Try to make your reports as specific as possible

when mailing that @system acc about botted/squatted users, do we get a confirmation on whether or not it has been removed? i would like to know since the url i talked about is one i really want... hope this is okay to ask..!!

Yes. A reply will be sent when we decide an action.

hey spark do you have any way you can make your profile picture float like with css?

You'd need to write CSS animation and then apply it to .profile_avatar.

Something like this:

@keyframes float {
     from {
          transform: translateY(0);
     }

     to {
          transform: translateY(-10px);
     }
}

(don't take this exactly, I haven't tested it)

Look up how to apply an animation with CSS. It might also help you to read this.

question? can you explain why i can see blocked people on posts/global and can comment on said posts but when i click on their profile i cant see anything? i dont have a problem with not seeing their posts its just i dont want them to comment, see my global posts, and or regular posts. I hope i dont come off as too mean TT

That's odd, you shouldn't be able to (this was fixed weeks ago, I haven't been able to reproduce the issue since). See if you can attempt to reblock them, as old blocks don't work properly because of a bug.

is there any way to get your password if you forgot it

You can send mail to all staff (if you can access the account), otherwise email [email protected], and I'll assist you when possible. Please note that you'll need to provide proof of ownership.

There’s a user here who constantly is talking about and spreading drama, talking about people negatively and, while not directly promoting harassment, the people they talk about end up being harassed. They are constantly talking about “this person is racist” or “this person is an abuser” or “this person copied me”, is this against the rules?

Yes. While calling people out with evidence is fine to a degree, encouraging harrassment is not allowed. If somebody is actually a threat to other users, a report should be filed before doing anything public.

tl;dr, let us handle it if it's somebody on Neospring

is there any way to remove the circle around my status emoji? it just randomly appeared and kinda ruins everything. but when i make it dark like the background it also affects other stuff on my profile and i don't like that because it makes important stuff invisible.

In your Custom CSS:

.status_note {
    background: transparent;
    border: none !important;
}
