Hi, I upgraded to 8.2.1 a couple of days ago, and ran into a surprise... no +1/-1 in the merge requests (summary) page, and when I looked into individual merge requests, the messages were there, but the +1/-1s were not accounted for any more. It took me a short moment to find the two lines(!) in the documentation describing the new emoji award thingies.
So yeah, I get it, the workflow has changed. We (*) aren't exactly happy with that change, but I'm going to keep an open mind for now. What I wonder, though, is how this new feature is actually supposed to be used. As far as I've seen through experiment so far is that an added or removed emoji award gives NO notification whatsoever. Not on the activity page, not by email, no nothing. The other thing I'm noticing is that there is NO display whatsoever of given emoji awards on the merge requests (summary) page. So I'm kind of scratching my head and wonder, what's the use of these things, except as a toy? I do notice that the commit message for the emoji award branch says "We have plan to extend emoji picker by the next release.", so I'm kind of hoping there might be some changes coming up that make this new feature more useful. Alternatively, if someone has a hint on what I can do to enhance this feature, I'm all ears. An option is otherwise to back down to 8.1.4... if that's safe to do. I don't know much about the database schema, so I'd need to know if a 8.2.1->8.1.4 downgrade is safe enough. Any advice is welcome. Cheers, Richard (*) The OpenSSL team uses Gitlab internally to work on our changes and reviewing each others' code. +1/-1 was a pretty damn important tool for this, including the display of them in the merge requests (summary) page. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GitLab" group.
