Site Bugs?

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. :slight_smile:

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.

Thanks! I don’t seem to get it on my iPad w/Safari. I’ll check the pc again soon.

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.

Not sure if you figured this out or not but there’s a fix for this shit UI (one that I’ve had numerous heated conversations with Jeff about on TOP since it’s perfect and I’m just being annoying).

Go to the Interface settings and uncheck this:

It’s per-session so it won’t persist across browsers.

This is getting worse BTW. Not sure if it’s on my end or the server’s. Anything I can try to help with troubleshooting?

Not really a bug per-se, but I rebooted and got logged out of everything and noticed that the giant icon notification is still up, but may not be relevant anymore.

Side note, it’s nice that the Arrivals Lounge and Welcome thread show up pinned to the top for new users and have good snippets. :slightly_smiling_face:

It just happened to me, and it’s definitely not a timing issue.

This post is currently showing as “unread” for me, complete with the little dot next to the timestamp, despite the fact that I have the page open and have been looking at the post in question for several minutes now.
