Hi, guys I've recently become morbidly fascinated on the subject of Chris's fucked up life, Sonichu and everything else on the wiki(seriously the guy's whole life is a fucking car crash, you want to look away but you can't). I'd like to emphasize that I just want to browse the wiki and read the articles I'm not trying to edit or even become a member. I've registered this account for one reason pretty much, which should be evident in my username to clear up this issue of blank pages. I didn't know where else to put this as you guys don't appear to have a "Troubleshooting" board so I just decided to put it here. Basically it seems that certain pages of the Wiki do not load fully. I'll show you an example.

As you can see that page is fully loaded, and yet I'm unable to view anything on it. According to the mediawiki forums this is caused by a PHP error or inability to connect to the page's server, but the only fixes they offer are stuff I could only do if I was the site's admin. If this is out of my hands, I'll accept it and read what pages of the wiki I can, but I just want to know if I'm the only one experiencing it, and if there's anything I can do to access those pages.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I'm a ponyfag (/mlp/'s delusional term that separates us from the bronies). I registered here using a throwaway e-mail because my main one involves my real name. I originally made it for some video /mlp/ was making, I don't think it ever took off. Also, shameless bump.

Everything's working fine over here, both in Chrome and Firefox.
I see you're in the US. I'm in the UK, so I generally seem to be able to dodge the problems that the States has. The server does occasionally have brief problems over there, so it's probably just that. It normally starts working again after a few hours. Sorry for the delay.

Also, you don't need to bump a thread after only half an hour. This subforum gets about 5 posts a day. :pickle:
 
I'm also having this issue, in both Firefox and Chrome, and I'm outside of the US and the UK, so...
 
Well, that explains it. A problem with the U.S server I guess.

I'm still getting it though, and always for the same pages.

I just sampled another 10 random pages and the Homos article again. Still working for me. Perhaps it isn't geographical. Can one of you try opening the page in Firefox's Safe Mode to see if that's where the issue is? If you try saving the page and opening it from your desktop, does it display correctly? The only other thing I can think of is that you might have to clear your cache.

I won't pretend to be an expert on this, but the worst case scenario is that none of this works and someone has to get in touch with Clyde or Cogsdev to see what's up. If nobody else wants to, I'll try to figure out how to get in touch.

Scratch that, I just tried opening the Homos article in Chrome's Incognito mode and I'm now seeing what you all saw. I tried it in non-incognito Chrome again WITHOUT being logged into my account and now I can't view the page, either. I tried viewing the page on an account without mod privileges and I can see it again.
For some reason, it looks like you need to be logged in to view those pages. I don't use the default style on my Freecell account, but I do on the non-moderator account, so the style of the page isn't the issue. Can't explain that, but the apparent fix is to get an account. If that doesn't work, I'll try to get in touch with someone who can fix whatever issue is going on server-side.
 
I'm having this same problem too, (I'm in the UK) pages like Facebook are working, but not things like Relics of fail or Sonichu (character). The front page was doing it briefly though that's working now. I've tried it in both firefox and IE and the same thing happens in both browsers.

When logged in, it did totally fix the problem so I recommend this to others having the same issue.
 
Until the problem fixes itself, you could try using either archive.org or Google's caches to view those pages.

Well OK then, I guess that's my problem. I'll be registering on the wiki then.

EDIT: How exactly do I go about doing this? There's no create an account button next to the log in button like on the MediaWiki website and registering a MediaWiki account doesn't seem to grant me access.

Yeah, I'm having that trouble too... Oh wait. Don't tell me Cogsdev closed off registrations! (:_(
 
I think registrations are closed.
 
i only get certain pages blank. like ones a certain someone would want blank.
 
If someone wants, they could use my account I guess.
 
It looks like registration is blocked, yeah.
I'll send someone a message to see if a couple exceptions can be made. [cwc=Special:ListGroupRights]Admins can create new user accounts[/cwc] (while lowly Jerkops like myself cannot), so I'll see if I can get Champ or someone in here.
