Bug Reports

I figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a thread for everyone to post any minor bugs/issues on the site that they have found. This way people can talk/bitch about them or help each other out if it isn't a problem with the site.
I apologize if this is a repost.

To start it off,

Whenever I type a comment on a picture/video/news/etc, each character I type or each time I press delete/backspace, the text box grows by one line's worth. So by the time I'm ready to press submit, I have to scroll way down the page to find the submit button.
I'm on Chrome and a Mac if that affects it.

Anyone else?

PharmSkierI use the Https Everywhere with Chrome and the videos stopped loading for me about a week ago. Where did you find this "Longtail" at?


In Firefox if you go to the drop down menu and them click one the HTTPS Everywhere app things you get another drop down with everything it must be using HTTPS on. Just click the longtail one and it should disable it.

Im not sure about chrome.

Putting a less than sign in a post causes anything after the sign to not be included in your post.

Yeah, that's related to the HTML cleanup. We do not allow posting HTML on NS for various reasons. HTML tags like: &lt;p&gt;

The reason is that users could post all kinds of stuff that could break or hijack the page, or worse. NS uses BB Code like most forums. HTML tags posted to NS are automatically removed. So when you post something like:

&lt;text text text

The system interprets it as the beginning of an HTML tag. So it begins removing text until it finds the closing tag. Since the "tag" never gets closed, it deletes the rest of the post.

They are spammers, we're aware. We've been waging a "war" with them for the last few days. It's slowed significantly from when we started, but they haven't given up. We'll sort it out soon.

What exactly do they gain from it? Like I don't understand why anyone would want to do that lol other than to be annoying. But I feel like there are better ways to be annoying.

The contrast with the new header is hella hard to read haha. Maybe still keeping the posts and forum lists still in grey or white would help better.

Very strange, the page background should still be white like before. Looks like your browser has the incorrect CSS cached for some reason. On NS press SHIFT+F5

Yeah its likely a cache issue. It *should* correct itself in a day or two, but we'll review everyone who is having this.

NS has been very slow for me loading certain sections of the site. Most notably the Cult Forum but also loading notifications. Every other website I use is normal speed in terms of page load times. Also, my News Editor thumbnail won't load up after "Apply Crop".

Loading threads from the My Threads drop bar is often really slow for me - enough to make me go to the the appropriate forum to find the thread rather than waiting for the one I want to load.

The upvote/downvote concept was based on using them for future use, rating threads, arranging posts, etc. These features are never going to come to fruition, so we decided to do away with them because they just encourage people to downvote instead of post, or to downvote someone they don't like constantly, other abuse etc they just did serve any purpose.

if you agree with a post or dislike a post, post about it! these upvotes/downvotes were never intended to be a sign of agreeing or disagreeing with a post, which was basically the only function they served and we'd like to see you guys post, not just hit a button, get what we're saying?
