Looks like they’ve already fixed it as an option in the settings-preferences-interface menu:
I’ll have to look at it again the next time I’m in a desktop to see if that’s righted it.
Thanks!

Thus us the first time in a few weeks I’ve been able to access the site on mobile ( Android, firefox) in two weeks. Somethin’ change?

I’m not aware of any changes that should have impacted that. We’re due for an update, but I haven’t applied it yet. Maybe there was an update to the mobile app?

It’s an upstream change that somebody pushed because they were tired of dealing with one or two dorks who quoted whole post just to respond with “+1”. I’ll revert it.

It should be all good now.

Not exactly a site bug, but can we do something about the video that autoplays at Random Silly Grins? I don’t want to remove the comment by @Lucy_Gothro1, but can it be turned into something with some control over it? Perhaps a link to the site or something.

If everyone’s seen it…it’s okay if it’s taken down. Or it can be Googled, I’d think, if someone’s desperate to see it.

After a long, long while, I’m getting the dreaded
again. I’m running Firefox 68.0.1 on Win 10, with uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, and NoScript running.
Clicking on my elsewhere.cafe bookmark in the same tab gets a blank page. It will load again in a new tab.
ETA: This happens only after clicking on an outside link, that loads in the same tab, after using the back button to return to Elsewhere. It happened here:
and here:
ETA: Though it seems to be inconsistent.

I will try to replicate as soon as I arrive home.

It only seems to happen on the Instagram link on my pc now, which opens in the same tab. The other is not opening in the same tab for some reason, so I can just switch tabs back here. I swear it did open in the same tab before.

When I try to link Tumblr image posts, the site wants to link only the image, not the link itself or the comments.

The Onebox in this post seems weird (the image is so huge, it overflows the borders of the Onebox itself):
Compare the post immediately above, which is from the same site, and behaves exactly how I’d expect.
Edit: never mind; after the five-minute image download period, it seems to have fixed itself, but I can’t delete this post.

As of last night Eastern time I have noticed that Discourse is not keeping track of my history consistently. It will tell me I have X number of posts to read on a thread, but when I go there it’s the same posts I read before. I noticed on a PM thread when someone else replied it said I had 5 new posts to read, but really it was just 1. It seemed to be counting from the last time I wrote, rather than the last time something I hadn’t read was added.
Anyone else seeing this? Anyone know how to fix it?

I’ve even seen posts I’ve liked still being marked as unread.
For me, it doesn’t seem to be based on the last time I wrote; there seems to be a delay between when I see the post and when the system marks it as read, and that delay doesn’t seem to always be consistent.

Interesting. I haven’t seen anything like this myself, and I don’t know why the behavior would have changed since I haven’t updated anything recently. I do have an update that I’ve been ignoring, so I might need to get on that and see whether that fixes anything.
