Feedback Technical Grievances

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I realize this will be low priority and should be until the attacks stop, but just as a heads up, images like avatars and such dont seem to be loading properly on ios mobile.

I cant see youtube videos when browsing on TOR, anyone having the same issue?

I only get a blank space, not even the code/URL to the video, weird

Only happens when using the kiwi onion address though

Tor onion is designed to block plugins like Javascript, which will break YouTube. That has nothing to do with Kiwifarms. That's a Tor feature, because YouTube is used by Google to track you.

You can technically check your Tor settings, enable Javascript and scripts, and troubleshoot using a guide to turn YouTube back on. But it's not really recommended because it defeats the purpose of Tor. There are better privacy workarounds that retrieve videos anonymously for viewing.

EDIT: It's important that Tor blocks Javascript because it can sometimes be used to reach through the TOR protections, and access your real IP and computer metadata. Google likes to try and do this. This isn't technically as bad if you use a VPN. But you probably already use the same VPN all the time on your regular browser on YouTube (which still collects your metadata and computer ID). And if you did, then Google will immediately connect the Tor activity to your regular identity, and stores this information indefinitely, indexing you as a TOR user.

Is there a way to stop tor from redirecting me to the onion site? Its making it impossible to use kiwifarms on tor because we are being ddosd.

This. I don't mean to be kicking a dead horse Null but if you could stop the redirect until the .onion works again, us torfags would be really appreciative. If it's for some reason (I don't know shit about netcoding) impossible or needs to wait because of reasons I understand, but it is super, super annoying to have to do the new identity thing and lose any tabbed threads.

Got something truly bizarre here...


If I click the link to the attachment, I get this.

Notice the top right. I seem to be logged in as another user somehow. I have no idea who or how or why. Navigating to another page turns me back into myself. I've tried this a couple times and it's consistent. At first I thought it was some kind of gag like when avatars get changed for Halloween and such, but nobody else seems to be complaining about it and the circumstances are bizarrely specific. If I'm missing some obvious joke please rate me autistic as appropriate.

haha disregard that i suck cocks

I can't access .net, I get an endless cloudfare loading screen.

Getting same issue but for some reason it seems to hit only my PC during the day (EST) and I was only able to get past it recently.
The weird thing is that my phone has worked even when my PC doesnt so in a way I'm forced to phonefag.
 
So I'm noticing that "reply" and "quote" from the first post is gone. I assume this was done to stop people from quoting the entire OP, but now I can no longer quote segments either without the BB Code editor. Can you disable disable replies without taking quotes away?
 
Anyone here having issues completing the captcha with planes? Even if you select the right pictures it just tells you to try again.

The captcha is iffy at best. I'm getting constant false positives. I guess a motorcycle is a car? I guess a pickup truck is a bus? I guess a life raft is a boat!?
 
I'm not sure if this is an technical issue or if it's intended but it seems that if you spend 2 weeks (maybe more or less) without visiting a thread, when you click on the thread title again, instead of getting the first unread post you instead is directed to the first page of the thread like you had never read that thread before, at least I get that behavior in the "Watched threads" page.

I have the same issue except I'm able to access the forums on my laptop but I haven't been able to load them on my phone for about 4 days now. It's just an endless cloudflare loading screen. I cleared out cookies and stuff but that didn't seem to help.

Edit: 10 hours later, it seems to be resolved on my phone.

Yeah, that's annoying. What's even more annoying is if you fall a month behind (or maybe 30 days, idk what the exact threshold is), "unread" just takes you to whichever post's a month old.

It'd be nice if that could be like 3-6 months instead of one.

reposting with less detail than my post that got eaten in the rollback:
on mobile, there's no way to tell which watched threads in the list have unread posts. Used to have the unread threads marked in bold, the change happened sometime after last December. I'd been using Desktop view to get around this, but as of the recent glowie DDoS, some images and some bits of XenForo formatting break when I do this.
