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?

Just curious had you thought about removing the downvote and making it only upvotes (think facebook "likes".) I still kind of miss the voting system because I thought it was a great way to acknowledge views on posts (as well as up/down)

When I try to get on NS via my home wifi I just get the "Whoops! File Not Found" page, but when I use my phones data I am able to access it. Not sure if this is a bug or some sort of ip ban, but if that's the case just let me know.

On mobile, when I go to type a reply the text box jumps all the way to the top of the screen behind the black menu bar so I can't see what I'm typing. Or if I'm typing something then need to move the text cursor to fix a spelling mistake or whatever it jumps to the top again. Pretty annoying.

Would there be a way so that the text box only jumps to just beneath the menu bar?

I posted 3 replies in this thread but none are showing. I may have been banned, though. I really only wanted to make 1 reply to FIS, and incidentally replies can only go 3 levels deep, not 4.. so that could be a feature request. Was I banned?

Also, is there any way to verify that user FIS is actually someone from the FIS?

Back then, I was banned for writing fa___t .. so now I was censored for subsequent comments after first writing hea______ing in my 2nd comment .. but really it's probably just a bug, right?

I have a sighting of an old bug.

On PWOYM, the page numbers indicate that I am on page 1282 and that is the highest page I can go to. However, I was directed to page 1283 by My Threads, and the most recent posts are in 1283. Looks like a counting error.

Exact freezing spot for me is 2:03 and only when played in 1080p. It might be because I'm on mobile. Also Embed link.

I'm browsing NS on mobile while listening to spotify in the background. Whenever i load a new page, it pauses my song and the autoplaying ad takes over. Is this supposed to happen?

No this is a new thing which we're trying to figure out. Haven't gotten it yet, but we're conscious of it.

Yeah there was a bit of a train wreck that happened for a few hours last week. It would have broken a few posts - so try keeping your eyes out to see if its still doing it for you. If you made a post / got an alert in that window, there's a chance the post just got lost in an enormous database upgrade.

*should* now be working.

Big blowup with the database, so the problem should be fine now but what happened then is just lost.

Sorry. :)

We're actually doing some research to see if we can do anything to help the search bar.
