My signature got borked as well. When I try to recreate it I run into a 500 character limit. The formatting tags take up a lot of characters so WTF.
And why do swear words get replaced with "puppies"? I like asterisks more than that. Or how about no swear filter at all? Please?

Obviously clicking on it gets me an error as I don't have any moderation power.
But still, why do I see it sometimes.
And it seems like it's totally random. I refresh the same page 4 time in a row without the moderation link, and the fifth time it is on the page.

i've adjusted search weighting slightly
Hmm. I just tried it out and I'm not sure it's the right way to go - I think it reduces the difference between 'most relevant' and 'most recent' searches too much.
I'm not really sure which kind of search the majority of users would expect to get from a quick search. My guess would be that most quick searches are for recent posts, but that's just a hunch.

1) Sometimes the editor will shrink the size of the text to 70%. Not sure exactly what triggers this...sometimes a paste, sometimes deleting a row.
2) Posting of multiple attachments never works for me...I have to post it first, then edit and add attachment. I can send the error page over if you are not already aware of the issue.

The last page of the GH60 thread has just broken down and returns a 500, after I tried a couple of times (unsuccessfully) to post with an attachment.
The attachment is visible in "my attachments", but "my posts" fails too, just like this single page of the thread, probably because it contains that faulty post.

Using the button it would change font size and turn everything ahead of it into garbage; Manually putting the tag, made it ignore.
If I edit the post, there is no spoiler tag there.
I don't really know if it's a bug or I'm not smart enough to use the forum...
Also, is there any way to add buttons so that content is initially hidden and when clicked it would load pictures and the likes?
I think it is a good measure to save up bandwidth, specially for the ones using slow connections.

But when you open the page there are no topics listed (as you might expect).
I noticed that this morning and started a new post there - suddenly all the old posts reappeared.
Now they have gone again.
New Members also says 2091 Posts and 1 Topics, but opening that page shows a single screenful of topics (i.e. more than 1, but definitely not all of them).

I'll upload a test image here as an example:
[attachimg=1]
Edit: Seems to work now. Huh.
It showed up as the grey fakepath image in preview though, maybe that's intentional, I figured it might be the first time I had this problem and posted anyways, only to get an invalid attachment. Maybe due to file size? I don't know.
I'll try and post a proper attachment and see what happens then, might be able to mark this as human error :-[
Edit2:
Yeah, seems like I might have tried uploading something over the size limit the first time and from then on automatically assumed that the preview placeholder meant something was wrong.

In preview you don't get your image, because we don't want your image taking up space if you decide NOT to post. Saves time and bandwidth too.Like I said; that's what I figured the first time I saw it, but when I posted it turned up as an invalid attachment. I then assumed that the grey square meant something wasn't right, although in hindsight it was probably just over the file size limit.

Strange indeed. If your ISP doesn't yet have the correct IP address info, you are getting mal-formed HTML, which is probably being interpreted as bad juju by your PC. You can fix that by adding an entry to your hosts file.

Make sure that "Save a copy of each personal message in my sent items by default" is checked in your PM settings.
Nice, I must've unclicked that option somehow after I sent my first PM. Thank you. Hopefully this fixes the issue.

I only have an issue like that on my tablet, but I think it's a crappy wireless connection.
I was wired for a few days and it was the same.... gets pretty annoying. I also changed my DNS which made no difference.
I can think of ONE other site it happens on: Amazon, usually just attribute that to them being stupid busy ALL the time. Maybe the same can be said for here. Or maybe its an ISP issue.

sorry about tardiness, but the priority for the last few months has been raising money for modern hardware, and now we are rebuilding the back-end infrastructure over this new hardware. once we are able to push out code more regularly i will be clearing these reports post by post, so please keep reporting.

I use the spy A LOT on GH and I've found that the Last Post button doesn't usually bring me to the last post. More often than not, I get linked to a post thats a page and a half behind. For example, if a thread has 3 pages and I click last post, I'll probably end up half way down page 2 instead of at the end of page 3. Is there something wrong with my settings or is this a bug?
Does it bring you to your personal last post that you read?
Post by: CPTBadAss on Sat, 09 March 2013, 08:24:59
Does it bring you to your personal last post that you read?
I'm unsure tbh. I just assumed it brought me to the very last post of the thread.
Edit: I just tried it. It doesn't bring me to the last post that I read. Sometimes it jumps to the newest topic in the thread (which is what I thought it did), sometimes it jumps me to a random point earlier in the thread.

I didn't even know "Last Post" was over on the left, so Thank You. I tried it on a few threads and it always takes me to the last post, regardless if I've read the thread before.
Win 7 + Chromium in case that matters.
Edit: Just tried it with Chrome and had the same thing you're experiencing happen once or twice.
Edit2: It just happened with Chromium, which only makes sense lol. FWIW, it only seems to be threads I've never read before.

That little icon with the arrow is supposed to take you to the oldest unread post in that thread, not to the bottom of the thread. It's the same as the little icon with the downward facing arrows in the "Unread" and "New" views. It has worked very consistently for me. The results will also be affected by remote use of the site via a mobile app. Tapatalk interacts pretty well with it, but I've seen situations where mobile access affects SMF's pointer to your last read message in that thread.
Ok, thank you for the info!

On the front page I can go to the last post (or the last post I read) by clicking a link. Everywhere else (including my notifications) I can go to the last post (or the last post I read) by clicking the "new" icon - but the "new" icon only exists if I have not read all the posts. If I want to go to the end of a thread that I have already read I have to click the link to go to the first page, then click the link to go to the last page, then hit the "end" button on my keyboard... That is very annoying when you have to do it hundreds/thousands of times...
Could you make the entire forum (or at least my notifications for now) work like the front page? I actually like the "new" icon on the right in my notifications, so leave it as it is.

I have the Classifieds forum set up to Notify on new threads, but a few times I've received notification mails for threads that don't seem to exist - turns out it's actually threads that require approval. Once the thread is approved, a second notification email is sent, and the thread is visible.
Anyways it's not a big deal to me, but figured I'd report it to get it on the list.

The domain "meg.se-test.org" isn't in global nameservers and dropped because of "reject_unknown_helo_hostname" configuration in Postfix.
The fix? Geekhack guys should make their emailserver rfc-compliant, or you should drop the directive from your mailserver. If you cant affect the mailserver you are using you are out of luck. Gmail etc. could be used as a workaround for the time being.

Are any of you guys dealing with the popup to take you to your inbox if there is a new message not working?
Worse than that. I've never seen a popup for this (even after disabling popup block for the site). Maybe it's because I'm using the "Nostalgia" theme, but there doesn't appear to be ANY indication that I have a new PM (popup or otherwise).

Never
-- Edit --
Complete lack of notification seems to be related to the top part of the page being collapsed/hidden (the part that shows your avatar with "Hello [username]"). With that part expanded I see "Messages [1]" when I get a new message.
I don't get a popup, either way however.

But SmallFry has a point....usually 10-15 seconds is plenty.... ::)
or is the 40 seconds simply to help with double posting?? ???

I'm not seeing anything like that. I doubt it has anything to do with the recent changes, except perhaps that I had to erase the file cache. I do that on every site code update, tho.

Well then why is it happening? I don't see the header issue that everyone else seems to be seeing though.
It's really annoying to have to wait a few seconds to be able to scroll, and then have to keep circling over a link for a another few seconds before I can click on it...
What could cause something like this?

The source on the server is fine. It's all in your browser cache.

Works great now. Desktop Chrome, mobile Chrome, and Mobile Safari are fixed.

When I logged in this morning, my Nostalgia theme had been changed to Austere. I had to manually change it back to Nostalgia, and I see that only about 45 people are using Nostalgia, instead of the usual 350 or whatever.Yeah the post above you :) It was forced on everyone to commemorate 12 months ago today. My feels.

On Mobile Safari and Mobile Chrome, sometimes people's posts are in a tiny font size. I have to zoom in to be able to read them. I don't think this has ever happened to me on the desktop.I get the same problem on Mobile Chrome. Its not tiny the font sizes are just very random some tiny some huge?

If you middle-click in Chrome (and most other browsers) you get a crosshair kinda thing. If you move the mouse pointer around, the page will smooth scroll. For example move the mouse pointer up (above the crosshair thing) and the page will scroll down.
But, if I middle-click inside a quoted post and then move the mouse pointer to scroll up or down, only the post containing the quote scrolls.
Like this (sorry, my screen capture won't show the mouse pointer or crosshair) - I middle clicked inside the quote from jdcarpe in Tym's post:

You can see Tym's entire post gradually scrolling up into the post title and disappearing.
This does not happen with Firefox or Safari, just with Chrome.
So it is probably a Chrome "feature". But I thought I'd mention it anyway.

It is distracting, 'cause I use the middle-click-scroll all the time, usually without noticing where the mouse pointer is.
Sometimes I get a post opened in a different tab (if I middle-click on the post title), but more often the single post just scrolls away.
Looks like you can keep scrolling too, it doesn't stop as soon as it gets out of view.

I also see the text instead of the smilies sometimes, but not sufficiently often to especially notice it. It probably happens as much when I make a new post as when reviewing someone else's post.

I tried marking it unread, and then reading it again, etc. I tried many different things, but the only thing that worked was a workaround suggested by user "Soarer," where he told me to copy the thread link and edit the location of the link so that the action listed in the link was replaced with the "action=unwatch;" string. That worked like a charm.

Some browsers have backspace as a shortcut to go back a page, is that the issue?
My laptop is really bad about doing that.

This is a web-browser issue, not a GH issue. Most web browsers use Backspace as a shortcut for the "Back" button. Check your browsers settings to see if you can disable this.

Not sure if this is a bug but I'm going to put this here anyways. So when I use the more/spoiler tags in a post, and I hit preview, the preview's more tag doesn't work :(. Is that a glitch with how those tags work?
I've been doing a bit more poking around and found that if you preview your post with the "More" tags in a private message, the tags will work. They won't work in a post preview though.

Don't know if this one is known yet, but smileys are disabled after embedding a Youtube video, see here: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=57505
You have a smiley in your first post (the post with the video).
Other posts include smileys.
No-one has quoted the video, however there is a known problem with smileys not being translated to pictures if you quote a post containing a picture.

I meant the line below the video, theCode: [Select]:thumb:does not get "translated" into an image.
Aha! I missed that one.
Maybe smilie translation is turned off when a certain type of link is processed, be it in a quote or a youtube link.

WASD has discontinued support of their subforum, most likely because of the volume of business they now do. not a bad thing, but it's a disservice to both wasd and the community to leave an unmaintained forum up that is years out of date.

I'm getting EXTREMELY slow response from GH today.
It takes several tries to load a page, and in fact this page has not fully loaded yet after more than 5 minutes. I hope this post goes through.
I have checked other sites, all of which open quickly, so I'm fairly certain it is not a problem with my internet connection.
You're not alone.

I get that sometimes. There is a "X" on the right side that AFAIK is supposed to cancel the quoting process - I don't seem to recall that that worked either.
Sometimes this happens when my internet connection flakes out, so I put it down to that.
On each occasion simply reloading the page and clicking the Quote link again works.

Seems like a lot of double and triple posts lately, is it a forum bug?
Yeah I noticed a few times when I would click post the page would just sit there loading forever. So eventually I would have to press back and click post again which resulted in a double post.
Not sure if that is what is happening to other people.

It's happening to me as well.
I click post, then error 503 or endless loading. I click back, before clicking post again, I check the thread in a separate tab and sometimes it is already posted. Once there was something like a 2 minute delay before the post appeared after getting an error 503.

we are working on this. it seems to be an issue with the dns proxy. please keep reporting it here when you see the behavior. imav has been tweaking the gateway settings trying to stamp it out, but we have to figure out what's really going on here.
OK boss. 'will do. :thumb:
Post by: mkawa on Thu, 08 May 2014, 11:34:28
Is there a reason none of My classifieds listings have gone through? I've tried twice now :(the problem seems to hit posts that link images in image tags the hardest. hence our suspicion that it's a dns resolution issue.
try attaching your images to your post. that seems to work better in my testing. unfortunately this is a bit of an odd one, as the gateway devices are not overloaded, but certain daemons are timing out with behavior that would indicate an overload.

probably not a bug. your cookie times out based on the time you give it when you log in. your machines are probably set up with different login settings on your multiple chrome instances.

Does your email client sort by "Date" or "Date Received"? Many clients do the latter so that messages are sorted properly, even when spammers use fake dates. Email doesn't always arrive in the exact order that it went out.I think it sorts by date received (on gmail), but there is a good 5 minutes between the second and first message I received. That was what I found odd. This may just be a one time thing, I only noticed it today. Just thought I should mention it.

Actually it looks like the replies went through, and I inadvertently created multiple copies of the same post.

I've been having lots of trouble the last hour with getting photos that were uploaded to GH to display. They start to load but hang somewhere between 10% and 50% complete. After a short while they timeout and just display blank outlines. In fact, I haven't been able to get a single photo attachment from GH to load for the last hour. Images from Imgur/Flickr/etc load without issue.

Also seeing this. Happened on mobile and pc ; post independent. Look at nubb's post in this pic. Also the geekhack side border is another clue
Bahh - getting 500 internal server error when attaching pic. Here's an imgur link : http://i.imgur.com/Gm4PQ3f.png
Still happening for me. Affected threads :
- loser alert: twerp sells celeb nudes 4 ****coins". [~ 16:00 - 16:15 EST]
- nubbinator's continuing thoughts on Topre [~ 16:40 - 16:50 EST]
- cleared entered browser cache, history, all data
- no change
- **** Only occurs when I am logged in
- browsing as anonymous user displays normal functionality. Page loads fine
Current browser is chrome on nexus 7, latest stable.
- subsequent reloads of the thread are slowly starting to trickle in more and more text
A bottleneck somewhere--possibly db , can't rule out nginx just yet either but on a good note it is serving up the cached instance rather well to the anon users
edit - added addition info, other thread. Apologies about the formatting :/

This is genuinely unuseable. I have to refresh every page at least twice, and long threads I can't see anything past about 15 posts down.
It's probably my work's **** internet, but this is the only time I really go on GH :(

Mine still experiences issues when not logged in. Same errors occur in IE9 and Google Chrome, but not on mobile. Haven't had a chance to check at home yet, so it may just be my ****ty work thin clients.My internet speed is 100 Mbps and this happens constantly. Happens with my both computers.

I've been having lots of trouble the last hour with getting photos that were uploaded to GH to display. They start to load but hang somewhere between 10% and 50% complete. After a short while they timeout and just display blank outlines. In fact, I haven't been able to get a single photo attachment from GH to load for the last hour. Images from Imgur/Flickr/etc load without issue.
This is how pretty much every attached photo looks (this one is from the Post Your 40% Keyboard (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=53617.30) thread)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/ksv0697.png)
Edit - closed chrome, cleared cache/cookies/etc with ccleaner ... no difference
Having the same issue here across multiple PCs in different locations. Definitely not a PC issue.

Twice I've been unable to post because I was throttled (10 seconds). It had definitely been minutes since my last post :)
Having the same issue, posts separated by easily a couple minutes or more keep giving me a throttled message.

Post by: strict on Sun, 07 September 2014, 08:17:46
I'm making some assumptions about the GH infrastructure here so it's possible I'm totally off the mark but I wonder if this is related to the throttling issues people have been having. If everyone appears to the GH servers as coming from a small pool of internal NAT/SNAT addresses I could see where the web server(s) could have issues thinking one of those internal addresses is posting to much due to the IP's getting reused. Essentially when another user makes a post less than 10 seconds before I make mine, the server sees the internal NAT IP as having been the poster for both and therefore activating the throttling mechanism. I would assume there's a pool of IP's being used so not every user would have issues every time there was a post less than 10 seconds before, but if the pool is small enough I could see this happening intermittently.
Edit - this post has my true client ip, but pretty much every other post I've made so far this morning has had the same internal 10. address from above.
Edit2 - Another thought just occurred to me. When I was having all the issues with not being able to get photos to completely load that had been uploaded to GH, I noticed chrome would always have the status message "Waiting for available socket" when it was trying to load those photos. Assuming I'm a little wrong above and GH is configured to use one internal NAT IP, I wonder if that photo loading issue was something like ephemeral port exhaustion on that lone NAT IP. Looking through my posts I only ever see one internal IP show up (other than my true public IP) which would lead me to believe there is not a pool of SNAT/NAT addresses in use, unless the the session/user IP mapping is extremely long lived.
Edit3 - Another thought. This issue could also affect the ability to IP ban someone. Two possible scenarios could happen:
- Someone who has been IP banned in the past can now get back in since the forum software only sees the internal NAT IP
- A mod/admin tries to IP ban someone and accidentally bans the internal NAT IP and ends up blocking tons of legitimate traffic
Assuming the forum software handles the banning and not a firewall device ...
Edit4 - Looks like this just started yesterday morning (Sep-6). The earliest post of mine that I can find with the internal IP is from 8:51AM EST on Sep-6.

You have to check the checkbox to keep sent messages, I think it is NOT on by defaut.

And further to this, if you UNselect that option (i.e. do NOT want to save a PM), that setting is remembered for the next PM you send.
The trick is to check the checkbox for every PM you send.

I get sent to the new post sometimes. It seems that happens if there is a network outage or significant delay after posting something. I've found that more often than not the post has gone through anyway.
As for the images - are they particularly large? A few people have problems uploading several large images at once, usually due to a slow internet connection.

My issue is I pm'd a few different people for different things and none of them replied , they are all usually very responsive so I thought maybe the PM's got lost in the ether.

Might be the same as noisyturtle said.
Only been happening after I've been on for a couple of hours.
Is this links to GH pages, or links to external pages?
If it is external pages, GH doesn't have much (any) control over how they load.
Nope, just GH. Mostly it happens on threads, but it also happens on the indexes. I have to refresh a page about half a dozen times, sometimes more to get the full thread.
I've had to hit the reply button on this just to see the previous posts because it wouldn't load.

Currently, if I set the number of posts / page to 25, the issue did not happen again.
Now I can see all posts properly. It seems the root cause is the 50-post-per-page setting.

phoenix above said switching number of post display to 25 helped make the problem go away
i have the same issue and i switched to 25 posts display and so far haven't had that issue
Or maybe its just TacticalStache's fault

I too am having this problem. However, it never used to be a problem, which leads me to believe there is a deeper issue here than simply modifying your user settings.

The HTTPS youtube videos not working is not an SMF issue, it's something to do with how youtube encodes content in HTTPS pages.
Or so I've been told, anyway. If I'm wrong that means we can fix it.

Something series wrong with this forum, first tapatalk does not work, second, pages constantly goes dead, it's so discouraging.
tapatalk works fine for me and pages load completely, there were lots of problems a few weeks ago but so far most everything is working. you may need to logout and back in with tapatalk as SSL on the forum was recently activated.

Do embedded YouTube videos not work for anyone else?
Using Chrome on a desktop.
Its because the YouTube embeds are HTTP and Chrome doesn't want to load insecure content on a secure page by default. If you click the little silver shield in your address bar and tell it load load all content the videos will work.

As a workaround for the youtube issue, assuming you're using Chrome, click on the silver shield icon in the address bar and chose the option to "Load unsafe content". The reason this happens is because GeekHack is HTTPS and the youtube embeds are HTTP.Similar option on firefox worked , thanks.

Hey! Not sure if this is a bug, but I was just blocked from accessing the site for about 10 minutes. It would stop me at a page telling me I had been banned and that it was not set to expire. Could it be because I am using a proxy and my IP is changing, or did I do something to deserve a ban? Any help would be appreciated, and sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.In fact, the message still appears, and I have to be in an incognito window to get rid of it. So I guess I am still banned!

it is just due to the Clack sale that is going on, and the amount of emails being sent out. Don't worry too much, it will be over in about a month. If you need notifications, try using tapatalk's feature!

It seems the option to stop getting notification for a thread is broken. There are threads I've been trying to cancel notification over and over (at least a dozen times or more) and it's just not working (such as the "Price check-What's it worth?" thread). I tried to cancel by using the link for unsubscribe from the email notification, and I tried doing it from the thread itself using the "UnWatch" and "UnNotify" buttons, but nothing is working.
I just checked your profile, and you have the option checked to "Turn notification on when you post or reply to a topic". Maybe that's overriding your choosing to un-notify? Try changing that setting and see if it helps. Profile -> Modify Profile -> Notifications -> Check box at top.
Let me know if that does or does not work. :thumb:

But that is the behavior I do want, for the threads I do want to be updated on. So should I turn notification off in my profile completely and then use each thread's individual "watch" and "notify" buttons? Will that work, or will the profile setting end up overriding again and I don't notifications for threads I do want to be notified about?
And one more thing. I'm constantly getting notifications for posts that are really old, as if the notification system is malfunctioning and keep sending me notifications from weeks ago, even if there have been dozens of new posts since then, or that I've already read all those newer posts. What's going on with that?

I have the setting turned off at the global level (in profile) and just use individual thread settings, with no issues. I think that the global setting only overrides the thread settings when it's turned on. If I'm correct about that, then it's a quirk that seems a bit odd. Or maybe there's a reason/logic I'm missing. :) But I'd give it a try and see what happens. I've been using it this way my whole time here and I always receive the notifications that I should.

Came here searching for this specifically. It's a real PITA and causes me to turn off notifications, which results in me visiting GH less. I don't know how GH is hosted, but maybe they could temporarily spin up another virtual server to handle the notifications or something.
Post by: E TwentyNine on Thu, 12 February 2015, 08:58:24
Can the outgoing mail queue be dumped to at least reset it to today?
Can everyone's notification be forced to "daily updates only" until end of this month?
Those people watching the clackvent thread want to reply immediately anyway, so by the time they're notified it's too late.
Can you turn off notifications for a particular set of threads regardless of user settings?
Thanks.

Unfortunately, there are currently no built in options to fix this in a way you've suggested. :( Long term, I think it would be nice to have any of the three options you've suggested as a way to make things smoother in the future. Unfortunately, with this Clack sale ending in a week and a half, it will be over before we get something coded to resolve it. That said, we'll see if there's any way to work something into the system for future site-crippling events such as this. :))

We all browse GH differently, so maybe this won't give you the answer you're looking for, but have you tried Watching the threads you're interested in? That feature still functions properly within the scope of the website here (since it doesn't use the email feature), and will show updates to topics you're interested in. If that doesn't satisfy your needs, let me know what you're looking for (other than emails :-X - sorry!) and maybe there is a feature that does. :thumb: I know this isn't the ideal solution you're looking for, but hopefully we can find something that helps. :)

PNG is lossless quality and supports transparency, while JPEG is lossy and in particular hates reds (they compress terribly, not sure about pinks). JPEG at maximum quality isn't so bad though depending on the image, but PNG will preserve the original faithfully.
Unless you're trying to say the original was a JPEG, and the forum re-compressed it, yet merely changing the file extension preserved the original quality. That would be something worth changing on the forum if the case.

iOS or Android? Mine works on iOS, I just used it this morning.
Also it works sometimes but other times just times out.

there is no transparency in my avatar...
PNG is lossless quality and supports transparency, while JPEG is lossy and in particular hates reds (they compress terribly, not sure about pinks). JPEG at maximum quality isn't so bad though depending on the image, but PNG will preserve the original faithfully.
Unless you're trying to say the original was a JPEG, and the forum re-compressed it, yet merely changing the file extension preserved the original quality. That would be something worth changing on the forum if the case.
That's pretty much exactly what I'm saying lol, I saved the original as a high quality .jpg to make the file size as small as possible, because I'm nice like that but it would then be re-compressed when uploading it as an avatar, you can see in my post the original .jpg... but when i opened that jpg on my machine and then resaved it as a png and uploaded it, it had non of the compression...

This probably isn't a bug but I wanted to confirm. Does posting within certain areas of the forum not add to your post count? I notice about a third of posts I make are uncounted. Not a big deal but was curious.That is correct.
Thanks.

Yes. Off topic, new members and classifieds posts don't count.

Anybody else having trouble loading GH? Past few days it's taken a few refreshes and waiting as the site seems to be overstressed.

Seems fine to me.
There's no big sales or anything on, so it should be running normally.

OK well, GH is still unbearably slow loading pages and still just stalls out half the time. Every other website loads right away, so it's definitely GH's problem.
I cannot be the only one experiencing this issue.
It's only slow cause of the devil!

OK, it is becoming painful to browse GH on my PC due to it dropping requests constantly, deleting my comments while I am trying to submit them because it loses connection again, even opening a new tab works maybe 40% of the time. WTF is going on with this site, and why am I the olny person having issue with it.
I haven't changed any settings on my PC/Chrome/ or GH profile, and I cannot fathom why this is the only site on the internet that won't work for **** the last week or so.
How is your internet connection? When I moved into this house the cable was crap and the connection dropped out every few minutes. GH was acting very much as you describe. During an upgrade on the street Telstra replaced all the cables, and now it is much better, and GH is behaving very well. In fact the only problems I had recently were related to the Radlenac.
I can't seem to Quote a particular post. It's stuck on the 'Loading...' popup without ever getting anywhere. Other, shorter posts work fine. The post in question is this one (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=56515.msg1696924#msg1696924).

This has been reported by a few people, myself included. There was some suspicion that it was particular members whose posts could not be quoted, perhaps as a result of unexpected or Unicode characters in their username, signature or even post.
Yet to be confirmed.

It is hard to have insight when geekhack is working fine for everyone else. Did you try different browsers and different computers on your network?

It works fine on mobile and I disabled TPT just in case. It only happens on my home connection, not even when I log in on an outside computer, only at home even with different PCs/laptops hooked up via wifi or hardwire.
But again, it's not effecting mobile using the same wifi. I am absolutely baffled.

Sometimes when you respond by quoting, you arrive into the quoted part, it seems to happen to a lot of people lately.
You mean like this?
I think its a problem with quote tags accidentally being deleted when replying, and/or just typing inside the quotes as I did above.

If you quote something (or quote a quote of a quote etc.) that has a picture, smileys don't work. To get around this, I usually just right click the smiley and go to "copy image URL" and embed it using [img] tags.

I've been using the quick replay function for a little week now and sometimes, when I want to quick reply with a quote, the quote won't load. And then if I do a normal reply and try to insert the quote, It won't work.
That happens sometimes.
Sometimes it seems to be a problem quoting one user's posts.
Other times it almost seems random.
Someone said that if you middle click the "Quote" link to open the reply in a new tab, it works every time. I have yet to encounter an unquotable post to try that.

it looks like the youtube player isn't self-closing its div tags properly...

can cpt or a mod edit the post and remove the player and see if that changes anything?

If I open Classifieds, for example, it shows a dozen threads with new posts.
If I click the "mark read" button the page reloads, but the new posts icons are still there. If I force-reload the page, they disappear.
Same if I try to view one of the threads with new posts. For example if I go into off topic and click on the "new post" icon on the "what's bothering you" thread, I see the first new post (by beehatch). If I go back to off topic, the thread is still flagged as having new posts, and if I click the icon again I go to the same "new" post, even though I have already viewed it. If I force-reload the off topic index page, the icons disappear.
This is with Firefox on OSX.

can cpt or a mod edit the post and remove the player and see if that changes anything?
I tried to remove the video and I get this error:

You already submitted this post! You might have accidentally double clicked or tried to refresh the page.
Spy previously updated itself. Now it seems like it won't automatically update unless I hit F5. I'm on Chrome.

And it won't let me edit the post. I wanted to add that it happens with Chrome on OSX too, but when I typed that in the modify window and posted, it said I haev already made that post and was I trying to resubmit, which I wasn't.
I had this problem too...reload overriding cache (ctrl+f5 or ctrl+shift+r) had not effect.
== == == == ==
I had a PM, checked it, when to the homepage and I keep getting a pop up saying I have a new PM. No new pm, same one being marked as unread.
This just happened to me too...going to the unread pm and then reload overriding cache (ctrl+f5 or ctrl+shift+r) marked it as read.

i also just went to bump a thread in classifieds and it didn't show up in spy :confused:
Post by: nmur on Tue, 07 July 2015, 08:25:20
My "Show new replies to your posts." page keeps showing the exact same threads, even after I click on said threads. Also, a lot of threads are not showing new posts. Anyone else experiencing weirdness? I'm on Chrome BTW
Yeah can confirm. Spy isn't updating itself, and when I do go to a thread that has a new post, I need to refresh that thread before actually seeing that new post.
Chrome as well.

Yeah, I'm having issues with PM's still. It either hangs or goes through but then doesn't show up in my sent items tab. A few of my recent conversations are also missing the last one or two replies in the chain.

the layout issues are complex, and weren't due to a code change, which is extremely odd. we're also currently without a dev environment, so it's difficult to make large changes as they can't be tested before deployment. i'm fixing those things as i have time, but in the meantime, weirdness will happen. that said, i have repro of the layout errors, so i shouldn't need more reports to debug. again, it's the lack of a development environment that's holding rknize and i back at the moment.
Post by: thefebruaryman on Wed, 08 July 2015, 17:38:58
the stale pages and spy have been resolved. there are some issues with queues not being emptied quickly enough that i think are database transaction issues -- we're submitting more database queries and modification than previously by an order of magnitude, but the database is still running on a single process

If I see a post in spy, click on it and reply, then hit back to go back to spy, my spy isn't updating. It reverts to whatever spy previously was and not the most up to date spy.
Yeah it seems that if you open a thread that has been answered very recently , it isn't marked as read.

also threads and subforums are not updating that they're unread if i'm the latest post in them

Top of the page starts like this:

Halfway down the page this happens:
[attachimg=2]
The bottom of the page looks like:
[attachimg=3]

This was happening in a lot of threads after the recent rebuild, but I haven't really seen any occurrences for a while, but sth's thread seems to trigger something bad.

My tapatalk notifications have been arriving late as well, which is weird... (I know you can't do anything about those).

Refer to this :
When I browse through Unread or Watched, if the last replay is very recent (2-3 minutes) the topic won't get marked as read. If I come back to it minutes later it will. But if during the 2-3 minutes after the reply I go several time to this thread it will never get marked as read, only after I reach this "invisible time" limit.

Occasionally new replies to posts won't mark as read to me. I'll go to "Show new replies to your posts", see a new posting, read the most recent posting, but then if I click on "show new replies to your posts" again, that thread will still show up as unread, even if nothing new has been posted. This only happens very occasionally, but it does.
Yep. Need to wait for admin support for this. Help us @iMav, you're our only hope!

Not that big of a deal, but has anyone else noticed that their post counter is stuck?The mods froze them to stem the tide of people going for 50 posts to get into the brocaps sale.

So despite people's estimates, I might not make 20,000 before the end of the year.

^^^^^^^^^^^^Indeed, the constant warnings are annoying. You should be able to install that expired cert on your local machine so that it will always be trusted. Not that, that is a good idea, but in this case you know it is just expired and not something more nefarious.

Some thread still won't get read sometimes.
Refer to this :When I browse through Unread or Watched, if the last replay is very recent (2-3 minutes) the topic won't get marked as read. If I come back to it minutes later it will. But if during the 2-3 minutes after the reply I go several time to this thread it will never get marked as read, only after I reach this "invisible time" limit.
I'm not sure if I'm being clear.
Although if I browse a thread from spy, I can click it a second after a new reply, it will be marked read.

Half the time I post or send a PM the page won't load, meaning I have to refresh it while it's trying to post... Sometimes this means my post gets lost other times it's fine...
I've been sending a few PMs recently and haven't noticed this.
Could it bs a symptom of a dodgy internet connection?

it happens at work and at home, both connections seem fine... I'll post a reply or send a pm (it happens pretty randomly) and the page will just hang... refresh and it's either posted/pm'd or reloaded the reply box...

Looks like the forum software doesn't like his name as it has shrunk the font size down as it would for a much longer name, although this member's name is fairly short.
Is this a side-effect of Unicode characters looking like two ASCII characters or something?

This afternoon I was still getting Clackvent emails trickling in. That is for a sale that took place, say, around 10 hours ago.
Update: I JUST received an email notification (for a Clackvent thread update) that was apparently SENT just over 4 days ago.
Date sent: 09-Mar-2016 17:02
Current date (for me): 13-Mar-2016 21:19
Although looking at the SMTP headers suggests that it was processed only very recently, so there's probably a huge mail backlog on the GH server.

Unfortunately it is because of the mass amount of emails the server is sending out, due to clackvent.

It seemed fine yesterday.
Just then, about 1 minute ago, I opened a couple of threads, and one of them showed this phenomenon.
I thought I was going mad as everyone was quoting a video I hadn't seen, so I scrolled up to find the original video.

Sorry for the super late reply, but I am still getting notified of new messages. I have definitely unsubscribed from everything that is visible to me.
The "Welcome to BroCaps" link you provided says:

I am not sure how I could have subscribed to that if I can't see or access it. Can you fix this for me?

I still seem to be receiving notifications when I am not subscribed to anything. Can an admin fix this? I have removed everything and there is nothing to 'unnotify'.

Hmm, that's peculiar (but may be the source of the issue). I've just now removed that thread from your notifications, so at this point you are not subscribed to any threads for notifications. I wonder if the Bro Caps thread was triggering the system to send you a weekly update, despite there not actually being any new content since it's archived? Do let me know if you continue to receive this weekly summary.

the system said VPS is not allow and the blockade is not to expire.
I don't attempt to do some hacking behavior， I just want to speed up my internet,
as you know, I'm in China and some webpages are blocked, so I have to use VPN.

Some VPNs are automatically blocked because we've had issues with people using them to circumvent bans in the past. If you're still getting the message that you're blocked while not using VPN, try clearing the cookies in your web browser.

Some VPNs are automatically blocked because we've had issues with people using them to circumvent bans in the past. If you're still getting the message that you're blocked while not using VPN, try clearing the cookies in your web browser. More information is available here: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=57803.0
Thanks！ I will have a try！

Also "remember me forever" doesn't.
I experience a 'bug' where I get logged out everywhere if I use the logout button in one place (not sure if this is intended behaviour or not). Could that be the explanation?
Just reporting in that I still get a certificate failure when I try to log in through my phone using Chrome beta.
Have you tried clearing cache, etc.? If that doesn't do it, I'm not certain what would.

Happened again since my last login. I think. Or maybe it was a different computer - I'd have to double-check that.

But it is also the first time I see Geekhack resizing images (img width=640 height=84), so it might have to do with that.

I think I've fixed it. You had an "img=" instead of "img]" for the part that was broken. It was messing up everything afterwards.

I tried to post a Google form for an IC, and the random url Google gave me happened to contain the word '****'. The filter decided to censor the url replacing part of it with stars so anyone clicking on it got a 404 error. I'm pretty sure the filter should only censor visible text, not links, so this is a bug.

In the GMK Yellow on Black IC thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=95109.0) there is a link to a Google form.
If you click the link, it takes you to a Rainbow Magicland page.
If you copy/paste the URL that is shown on the page i.e. the goo.gl link, it works.
I disassembled the link URL, which contains the thread and a few other bits and pieces (presumably for link tracking or counting), and they appear the same.

Apologies on this, we are working on making the site more resilient to some traffic spikes that were coming in, and Varnish decided to cache a few items we weren't wanting it to cache. I have updated the config for Varnish and am no longer seeing the redirect issue that you are speaking of. We were able to repro, but not again since I've fixed the cache url mapping.

The cert is valid, I think it's just showing up like that due to there being unsecured content on the site (i.e. links to images from outside sites that are unsecured).

Not sure if this is a bug or perhaps some weird setting I can't find, but I'm having an issue with email notifications after "X" amount of time. Best I can tell (after months of this) is that if I don't stay active in a thread, I'll stop getting topic notification emails for no apparent reason. Some notes:In the pic above, I'm getting proper notifications in the top/bottom threads (no "new" icon on the left because I'm reading them) but the middle two I haven't got a notification in weeks. Any ideas/advice appreciated :thumb:
- Topic still shows I'm set to "Watch/Notify"
- Threads still show in my Notifications panel. Pic: https://i.imgur.com/2s4Pcp3.jpg
- Checked they are not going to spam
- If I post in the topic again with anything, it'll reset the timer and work again for a few weeks
Hmmmm. You have notification emails set to come immediately, but only for the first unread reply. Can you confirm for me if you need to actually post in the thread, or will it start sending notifications again if you just catch up on the unread posts?
It's possible that notification emails are sporadically getting lost, and since you haven't gotten the notification to go back and read the thread, it stops sending new emails.

Interesting idea, I haven't really paid attention to if just viewing it fixes it. That said, I'll test it ASAP. I found the two most recent threads in my Notifications section that I'm not getting emails for (both of which posted on today) and simply viewed the final page, making sure the checkbox for new posts went away on the Notifications page. I'll wait a day or two and see if messages come back. If not, I'll make a post and confirm thee show up after that. Thanks! :thumb:

After some testing it seems the threads that I catch up on DO start notifying again, regardless of me posting or not. So perhaps the ones that I'm not getting any more mean that I missed the first notification email and it doesn't send more because it's set to "only for first unread reply". I figure if I set it to Instantly that'll override that and I'll get notifications for everything, regardless of if I checked it or not, is that right? Perhaps that's the easiest workaround.
Edit: Confirmed, setting it to "Immediately" causes them all to show up again. Apparently the other setting (first new reply only) gives only one chance for it to alert me. So while it doesn't explain where those mails are going (Gmail spam is clean), I'm happy to be getting updates. Thanks!

Glad to hear it's working now -- not entirely sure what's going on with the missing emails, but will pass it along to someone who might know.

It's not really your browser but rather the IP address used at that time. I've checked the ban log. The IP range you used intersected with one we banned in the past for a persistent member with a lot of alt accounts. Sorry for the inconvenience.

My post counter is broken! For some reason it's stopped incrementing. I can go to Profile > Show Posts and my oldest post is clearly numbered 29 (as of this writing), but the counter under my name is stuck at 23, and doesn't change if I make another post! This is a problem for me because it means I can't make any threads anywhere in the Marketplace. Is this a sitewide problem or some problem effecting only my account for some reason? Or am I misunderstanding something about how the counter works? Thanks.

Is there anything to the way the site is coded that would cause this or possibly something else unique about how GH interacts with FF?
Post by: rowdy on Sun, 06 October 2019, 21:05:16
Not sure if it's a bug specifically, but I've noticed a number of times while viewing the site that one or more of my CPUs is maxed out and Firefox appeared to be the primary culprit. I've also noticed images taking quite a while to finish loading, which even with a few dozen images for a given IC/GB thread shouldn't take more than a second or two with my 100GB connection. Most recently, I only had geekhack and two other already loaded pages open, so I can't imagine it was a load issue. I haven't seen this happen with any other site.

FWIW I use Firefox all the time to surf GH and have not noticed any behaviour such as you describe.

Unexpected search behavior happening: When trying to find this thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=103671) by searching for "cajal", it only shows up if I go to "Advanced search" and check the "Search in topic subjects only" box. Searching straight from the top-right search box or from the advanced page without checking that box and there's nothing.
Well that's unfortunate. :| I'll poke around in the server settings to see if there are any better search options we're not using.
As a general note, as much as it sucks to admit, it's almost always best to use google with the 'site' modifier included. For anyone unfamiliar, the search in this case would then be as below
Code: [Select]
cajal site:geekhack.orgwhich does lead straight to the desired thread. PS: Hooray! Another Milwaukee GHer! :D

Good to know; I'll swap to Google for the time being. (Would it be worthwhile to just pipe the default search box straight into a custom Google search, and then leave the "Advanced search" page as-is?) Also, hi, small world!
Hmm, that's a good thought. I have seen sites that do that, but don't see it readily as an option on the backend. I'll look into it and see what our options are. :thumb: Thanks for the suggestion!

I can't use Opera to access Geekhack because it said that I was banned after turning on my VPN; however, it works fine on every other web browser. Could anyone tell me what went wrong?
Edit: It has been fixed.
For future reference, the ban on VPNs sets a browser cookie, this can be resolved by clearing your cookies (although if you continue to try to access the site through your VPN, it'll just trigger the ban again). See: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=57803.0

Well, this isnt really a bug but more like a flaw. Well this is my first day on this site and I decided to make an account. I entered all of my information but when it told me to activate my account by pressing on the email they sent me, that would be fine but. I didnt get any email so the account wasnt activated. Though it was still registered. So i couldnt use the same email or username. I had to use my laptop to make an account and log onto it on my pc so I could even use geekhack, And I really want to change my username back to what it was but it is taken because of my other account. Please fix this so I can go back to my original username :)
This is a known issue with some email providers, but as far as I'm aware, no fix has yet been found. Please PM me the details of the other account, and I will take a look, and add this to the list of known cases of this problem.

I've been needing to change my password, but never receive the required email authentication following a request. This also happened when I set up my account and had to verify it.
I'll help with this - PM incoming
PS, happy two year anniversary here!! :D

Hello! I believe my IP has been wrongfully banned as I'm getting this message when trying to access the site from my home computer:QuoteAn Error Has Occurred!It remains after deleting cookies.

Hoping this is something that can be helped. It's a bit of a pickle, lol.
Also open to just making a new account if this is too much of a hassle, though.

Reviving a dead thread to ask if a moderator/admin could help manually change my email... :[ Still not able to change my password to one I'll actually remember (and security question doesn't seem to work), but every time I request a reset email, nothing happens. Kinda sucks, since I switched to Firefox earlier this year, and so I have to open Chrome on my desktop (where my account info is saved) any time I want to browse the forum on this account.

I'm guessing you use gmail? This is a known issue, but we don't quite know why it happens. PM myself and/or HoffmanMyster, and we can help you out.
