If an image is larger than the plan limits, we will try to make it smaller using <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="text-blue-400 dark:text-blue-300 cursor-pointer" href="https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/squoosh">squoosh</a>. This will not increase the size of Hyvor Talk because that library won’t load until the user uploads an image larger than the max upload size.

A user says they use this plugin and the comments do not show.To be honest I never heard of this plugin so not sure how many people it affects but the process to get whitelisted seems easy enough:<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="text-blue-400 dark:text-blue-300 cursor-pointer" href="https://privacybadger.org/#-I-am-an-online-advertising-tracking-company.--How-do-I-stop-Privacy-Badger-from-blocking-me">https://privacybadger.org/#-I-am-an-online-advertising-tracking-company.--How-do-I-stop-Privacy-Badger-from-blocking-me</a>If it is an easy fix it might be worth doing.

HiAre there any analytics for emoji reactions? I can see some data for comments but would be interested to see data on reactions to get an idea of sentiment for articles etc?Thanks

Sometimes when I post a comment it shows twice. If I refresh the second comment disappears. This confuses users and they start trying to delete the duplicate comments. <img src="https://fb-usercontent.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/1673451798259.jpeg"/>

Our mods mainly moderate on their phones but the console experience on mobile is not great. For example this is the comments page on mobile, as you can see the whole screen is taken up by the menus, you can not even see the comments.It would be better if the UI was better on mobile, eg can you not put the options under a dropbox hamburger menu?<img src="https://fb-usercontent.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/1673451783356.jpeg"/>

DM Commenters

I have moved across from Ghost Blog and one thing I missed about it is how users can create their own account, comment on blogs, and opt in to receive email newsletters if they want to. Hyvor Talk has two of those three features.Since Hyvor Talk has a well-known privacy policy to not share Hyvor Account emails to third-parties, so I thought what if we can ask Hyvor Users' permission to subscribe email newsletters of the website?We do not have to force a user to sign-up email newsletters or create a whole, new feature inside Hyvor Talk for email, but at least we can have integration to MailerLite and MailChimp (etc.) to give a choice to our signed-in Hyvor users if they want to opt-in and help every content creator, blogger, developers out there empower their own community. Especially now that you have Membership feature on your v3, we can also invite members to subscribe to email newsletters to get their favorite content creator's updates, news, review, blog, and more.Here is a link to Ghost's new commenting feature: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="text-indigo-500 dark:text-indigo-300 cursor-pointer" href="https://ghost.org/changelog/native-comments/">https://ghost.org/changelog/native-comments/</a>. The reason why I mentioned this is because they identified two big things on why they considered commenting in the first place: empower community and ability to overcome automated spam with member authentication.If this feature is pushed out, it will be plus points to your product since I am almost paying the same amount of my Hyvor Talk plan with Ghost's blog pricing... Additionally, your product still adheres to the "privacy-focused, fully-featured commenting system" with your amazing member authentication and can go beyond full-featured commenting system. Let me know what you think of this feature, thank you for your consideration and looking forward to hearing from you soon. P.S. Forgot to change from "Feedback" to "Feature Request" tag.

Asking users' permission to sign-up for email newsletters

Syncing comments with wordpress would be great but as you also support other CMS some kind of automatic third party backup would be a good feature.Basically we just need a backup of our data under our control should anything happen to your system.Something like a backup to amazon s3 or similar.It would need to run automatically, either once a day or once a week.

Fix accessibility issues in the Embed

It would be cool if you could filter to just original comments vs comments and replies all listed together when pulling the user profile up.

Filter between Comments and replies in user profile

Would it be an idea to have an option to collapse replies? So you need to click the replies link to expand them out. The New York Times does this. <a class="text-blue-400 dark:text-blue-300 cursor-pointer" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/31/opinion/apple-coda-oscar.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/31/opinion/apple-coda-oscar.html</a> we can often have 600 comments on a post and this might make it easier to read lots of comments.<img src="https://fb-usercontent.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/1673451782774.jpeg"/>

In Progress

ability to collapse threads

it would be cool for example, if i could set the main stream comments to show the latest up top, but in the reply comments it shows the oldest up top with the most recent bottommost. the current sort order applies to all.

different sort order preferences for nested vs main comments

When I go to a Hyvor-powered comment section, it always defaults to sorting by "best" comments. I change it each time to "latest". If it's remembering my ID, it would be nice if it remembered my preference too.

suggestion: remember sorting preference

We manually created badges and applied them to users on timeout but the issue was we would forget to remove the badges after the time out. It would be good if you could automatically apply badges to show when a user it on timeout or banned and more importantly remove the badges when the timeout has expired.

We are working on version 3 of Hyvor Talk.<ul><li>It completely removes the iframe, which, we reckon, will the increase performance of the comments section, and will also fix numerous issues we have because of the iframe (such as content jumping).</li><li>The new comments embed is based on Web Components and Shadow DOM.</li><li>We are making Hyvor Talk more customizable - not only texts, but also components.</li><li>We are improving the accessibility of the comments section.</li></ul>Our plan is to release it within the next 2 weeks (update: taking longer than expected as we decided to re-design the backend too, ETA early november).

Currently, the Hyvor Talk embed renders inside an iframe. The main reason I used an iframe for the embed was to share Hyvor login between websites. For example, when you are logged into Hyvor, you can comment on any website that uses Hyvor Talk without having to log in separately.However, recently all major browsers started to block third-party cookies. So, sharing the login is not possible. Therefore, there's no use in having the iframe.And, the iframe introduces a bunch of problems.<ul><li>We have to resize the iframe on every DOM change, which means more CPU is used. Even so, the height is not perfect.</li><li>The popular jumping problem. Many users have reported the jumping problem when loading real-time comments. We haven't been able to fix this even though we tried several possible solutions. This is because we cannot control the scroll of the parent window based on iframe changes. We have to go through the postMessage API and it is async, so it takes time. Therefore, the jumping issue is still there.</li><li>The iframe becomes VERY slow when there are thousands of comments loaded.</li><li>Iframes are slow by nature. Rendering comments directly on the website will be a huge</li></ul>Here are some problems we will have to solve<ul><li>Possible class name clashes. We'll probably prefix all classes with something like 'ht-'</li></ul>More possible features:<ul><li>We can make all language strings customizable!</li><li>No more need of loading fonts separately from CDNs. Fonts can be inherited from your website.</li><li>Adding custom CSS is easy. You just have to add it to your website.</li></ul>This will be a BREAKING change. So, my idea is to develop the new version completely separately and then allow users to switch to the new version only if they want.Happy to know your feedback!

An idea to get rid of the iframe

I've had a few users ask me how to view their own comments. It used to be they could click their avatar, and quickly view all their own comments. Now there's no intuitive way for them to do that. I've had to provide the URL to the console to those who inquired on how to get to the console, select their account, and click my comments. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="text-blue-400 dark:text-blue-300 cursor-pointer" href="https://talk.hyvor.com/console/account/comments">https://talk.hyvor.com/console/account/comments</a>

Zooming the comments box on some Android devices (Chrome)

The emoji sheet used currently is 7MB large, and those emojis are not high quality. So, change it to use OS emojis instead. Saves data, looks pretty ;)

Remove Emoji Sheet and use OS Emojis

It would be good to be able to edit user comments in the embed. Also would be nice to have quick access to other controls like:Close comments Turn on premoderationBanning (even if is was a link to the ban section in the console)

Add more controls to embed

On our site we sometimes get very long comments. A few users complain that with hyvor when they are writing a comment, take a break to do something else, when they come back to the comment the text has disappeared. Is there any way to save text before it’s published? Can it not be stored in the local browser session?

On mobile the chat bubble blocks the close button. Either change the location of the close button, or move the chat bubble or disable it on console.<img src="https://fb-usercontent.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/1673451781846.jpeg"/>
