## Preamble
- The app-side uses a cached blocklist, so when a Timeout expires, it doesn't know that the ban has been lifted.
- Meanwhile, we are doing extra comment filtering using this blocklist (so that we don't see comments that we have blocked, regardless of whose claim we are viewing).
## Issue
In a livestream, if a new message from an ex-offender comes in after their ban has been lifted, we do get the websocket message but it's being filtered out locally as mentioned above. So, the msg ended up being visible for everyone except the owner.
## Fix (band aid)
- Don't run the extra filter if the claim we are viewing is ours -- commentron would have filtered it for us anyways, and is the right logic to use even before this Timeout feature is introduced.
- For the case of Timeout, this only serves as a band-aid until Commentron Issue 80 is available for us to detect the ban has been lifted. This is because it doesn't handle the case where I am a viewer and I decided to timeout someone for a few minutes. Because I am not the owner of the claim, the offender will continue to be blocked due to the same issue mentioned above.
The main reason to do this is because we are doing extra comment filtering using our blocklist (so that we don't see people we blocked regardless on who's content we are at), but we are also using a cached blocklist so we don't know when a Timeout will be lifted to allow new livestream messages. We will need Commentron Issue-80 to truly fix this.
For the case of when we are the owner of the content, we don't run the extra filtering (since it is equivalent to Commentron's filtering), hence the issue doesn't exist. Any new livestream messages received through websocket won't be locally filtered.
## Issue
6712 Comment Moderation - time based bans
## Approach
- Consolidated the 3 types of blocking buttons in the comment content menu (i.e. Block, Moderator Block, Admin Block) into 1 regular Block button.
- Show a modal when Block is clicked.
- Let user choose the blocklist.
- Let user choose the timeout duration (this PR's impetus).

## Issue
6989 console errors and warnings are getting out of hand!
## Notes
This method was previously criticized in 5643. But given that no better solution has been submitted after a long while, nor is there a new solution for doing i18n, I'm reviving it again. It'll be no worse from the status quo.
Despite try-catch being overkill, I think the code-clarity outweighs the performance issues (if any, in the first place). Also, we are only suppressing the error in a very specialized function which even if it fails, will simply be a no-op and the GUI falling back to English.
## Ticket
6946: Linked-comment scroll position is inconsistent
## Issues
- If it is a deeply-nested reply, the positioning is incorrect.
- If there are pinned comments, the positioning is way off.
- If there is a delay in mounting, the positioning doesn't happen.
- When clicking on the comment's date to highlight it, the comment goes missing and the scroll position is weird.
## Changes
- Take into account that replies can be linked-comments.
- Perform a "one-time" search for the linked-comment after the initial fetch, if necessary. The expensive DOM search is only be executed minimally.
Remove defunct "show comment menu on hover" implementation.
It was re-rendering on every mouse movement, plus the css classname no longer exists, and also it wasn't working right in the first place (reverted few Desktop revision back, and all it did was highlighting the menu rather than controlling the visibility).
If we want the "show comment menu on hover" behavior again in the future, the CPU usage problem can probably be addressed by debouncing/throttling state-change.
Trying to action this issue: Pressing escape in wunderbar should do something useful #2116, I also added ctrl-K as a keyboard shortcut to bring the wunderbar into focus.
## Issue
- While changing the "Back" behavior in the Settings Page PR, it was a pain to troubleshoot when the entire history list is listed as "odysee.com".
- If you have multiple tabs open, it's hard to know which is which for non-claim and non-channel pages.
## Approach
Initially, I thought of overriding the document's title through the `<Page>` component, since the titles are usually defined there. However, given that the router is already doing the overriding, I think it's best to do the same thing all in one place.
Downside: it might get missed when a new page is added.
## Unknown
- Not sure if are rules for titles. There seems to be a mix of sites -- some have specific titles per page, most just use the site title for each page.
- I think the `return` statement in the `useEffect` is unnecessary, since it'll just be setting to the same value now during the cleanup stage. (??)
## Issue
6956 Desktop: something wrong with Custom Comment Server setting
## Notes
- Should be calling `Comments.setServerUrl` to ensure all private variables are updated.
- Skip the react-setting update if there is no change.
## Issue
- #6840 Clean up https://odysee.com/$/big_hits
- `/big_hits` is being indexed and unnecessarily affecting the speed score (the "not found" page is surprisingly slow; will handle separately)
- Big-Hits metadata not working
## Notes
'big_hits' is only used in v1 homepages.

Previously, we decide when to display "Show More" based on the current fetched reply count vs. total replies in Commentron. It was already troublesome as `comment.List` and `comment.replies` give different values (one includes blocked content, while another does not).
Now, we are further filtering the list with Commentron blocklists (personal, admin, moderator), so it is not feasible to run the logic based on reply count.
## Solution
- Keep track of number of remaining pages instead and use that to determine when to display "Show More".
- While it doesn't solve the "Show N replies" mismatch (YT has this problem too), it prevents the button from lingering.
- In the event that all replies are blocked, just show an empty space (same as YT). I didn't like the previous version that cluttered the space with "comment(s) blocked".
## Issue
When you block Channel-X, Channel-X's comments will still be visible on someone else's content. This feels odd.
## Change
In addition to the blacklist, filter-list and muted-list, we now include the Commentron blocklists (personal, admin, moderator) when filtering out comments.
## Specifics
`makeSelectCommentsForUri`, `makeSelectTopLevelCommentsForUri` and `makeSelectRepliesForParentId` all perform the same filtering code. Factor that out to `makeSelectFilteredComments` and add the Commentron lists into the mix.
## Downsides
This probably adds to the already-high CPU usage in rendering comments.
The previous version treats each navigation as a link, ala Chrome Settings. I liked it because I can enter a settings section directly via URL, and can always back-track each section.
Anyway, changed it to the typical "up" behavior, traversing back the hierarchy of settings pages.
It was phrased negatively as the feedback back then was the string should match whatever is on the actual dialog (which was "Skip preview and confirmation"). But now it looks odd when we have an additional title string. We think titles should be positively phrased, hence the change.
Changed from constants to object. This allows us to skip prettier's auto line-breaking with just one comment (instead of for each constant), plus I like object style to group things together in general.
I think it looks better to not place the title within the card's border when there are multiple cards in a page, like in the case of the new Settings Layout. Otherwise, it's hard to differentiate between title and settings-row.
The proper method is to style Card itself, but this is a quick fix for the Settings Page PR. Will come back to it later.
All <Setting*> components will have an ID that corresponds to the sidebar link. When clicked, we scroll to the position of the card by searching for the element with the ID. It behaves simiar to # anchor navigation.
I like this model mainly because in Mobile, users don't need to keep opening the drawer to navigate -- they just need to scroll. This allows us to use the same design for Mobile and App.
Placed settings that we allow for unauthenticated users under <SettingUnauthenticated>. While it is redundant, it's easier to handle the grouping, and more readable overall.
Also made visual changes for the new Settings Page.
## SyncToggle:
It will no longer be under a dedicated Card, so the "Sync" title is not there to give context for the case of "no verified email".
Changed it such that the checkbox is always visible (it's label is self-explanatory) but disable when email is not set. The "Add Email" button will then appear below, so everything now makes sense in context.
