Feedback Technical Grievances

You're probably using common, free VPN networks being used to DDoS attack. Nothing I can do for you. Use Tor instead for a while.

Common: correct. Free: No. I think that that paid VPNs have been used to DDoS for quite some time now which is why they'd be getting flagged by the site. Unless the detector has some sort of activity learning function. I'm assuming it does not.

Hitting show alerts to see the notifcation of this was enough to cause a 429 then refreshing that and hitting the link to here caused another 429.

I'm getting them a little less frequently now but it's still bad. I've already had to switch vpns 4 times at least. DDoS must be pretty bad still.

Edit: I say it's getting a bit better then get 429'd rapidly on the next connection. The only thing to do at this point is wait this out.

Same thing on paid VPN. Getting them a lot more frequently.

Reactions failing until I refresh the site and go through Kiwiflare has been a thing for a few months, not a big deal though as I can still read stuff.

i switched to tor and so far im not getting any 429 messages. onion retards rise up.

It seems like I'm getting 429s most frequently after attempting to insert a smiley. Is the drop-down menu trying to load them causing (# of smileys) requests?

Past few days or so when I go to log in, after entering my username and password it needs me to refresh for Kiwiflare again even though it did this when I first opened the page and won't do it again as far as I can tell until I go to log in.
This is extra annoying with 2fa because I go to the 2fa page, get an error, refresh, log back in, then do 2fa again.

Today lots of 429s including just after I logged in. Relogging seemed to have fixed it for now, couldn't access anything after I loaded the home page post-login.

I genuinely have no idea what use patterns you guys are doing to break the site. I literally cannot intentionally do it.

KiwiFlare just looped 4 or 5 times before letting me refresh on an existing connection. Brave on Android, surfshark VPN to Netherlands (from NZ)

Things seem to be looking up in the past 10 minutes or so…

 

[Goonluca]

Getting error 429 no matter what I do on Waterfox. Immediately switched to Brave and its fine.

 

[Active User]

Also getting 429s out of nowhere. Despite only having one tab of the site open on my phone at a time, I seem to get an error whenever I click on the alerts button and half the time I either get a 429 error or an unending appearance of the kiwiflare page if I try to exit the current page or refresh it. Computer is similar. I'm not on any VPNs, and on Tor rather than a 429 I'd just endlessly loading kiwiflare.

 

[Look--an Alien!]

Got a 429 on the chat window about 5 minutes ago. Chat works now--running on ubuntu and NordVPN

how do I change my signature under my username

second this. Forgive me since as a skeleton I have no brain and am therefore retarded.
I only use the desktop version of the site

Edit/Update:
I found this post: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/i-hate-the-internet-and-everyone-on-it.129573/post-12963424
but found that "Your full account details are not currently editable" when I navigate to Account details to change my Custom title -- see thumbnail below

I am trying to upload some videos but Xenforo is gay and gives me a "The upload file was not a video as expected" even though I'm uploading MP4 files. The one file I tested that was less than 100MB didn't work, and I'm pretty sure the upload limit is 100MB still so I don't think it's a size error (plus you get a different message when it's a size error). What do?

use ffmpeg to encode.

When I upload new files the 'file list' at the bottom scrolls all the way left and I have to click all the way right to get to the newest file.

Any way to fix this? I can scroll with middle mouse key, but it's still very annoying.
Reloading the page sometimes works for the next file, goes back to scrolling after the first upload though.

It's been this way for years now.

Trying to access any page 5000+ in the Tranny Sideshows thread, aside from the latest page, redirects me to the first page. Doesn't seem to be happening in any other thread.

Also just happened to me.
