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.
Anyone else having issues uploading videos/MP4 files to the site? I get the following error: "The uploaded file was not a video as expected." It is an 8MB MP4 from Twitter. Other videos work. I know of one other user that also can't upload the video
it's the video from this tweet: https://twitter.com/i/status/1703766677475766329
Twitter videos sometimes encode and say mp4 but they are not truly mp4. Run it through free convert and it works. Not sure what thread its for but you can save this and it will upload.

This is probably due to MP4 fragmentation and you can fix the file by opening it in avidemux, leaving video and audio on copy and then saving it. avidemux defaults to placing the index at the beginning which is the most ideal config for the site.

Re. the "noticeboard" at the top of pages - I think this is a good thing to keep us up to date during these trying times. I wonder though if it would be possible to have the option to dismiss it once read, with it re-appearing when a future message is posted, or maybe only have it appear on top of the forum index and maybe on the front page of each subforum? It's not a big deal at all but it means a lot of scrolling required for every pageload for subhuman phoneniggers like myself.

Step 1: hover your thumb over the screen
Step 2: flick up and let kinetic scrolling do it's thing
 
Encountered a very strange bug, in this post in the Starfield thread.

The images are broken and if you open them in your browser you get redirected to the Oops attachment not found page and it shows that you are logged in with a entirely different account.

If you open an attachment and see another user's avatar, this is not a bug. This is not a security issue. Attachments get cached. If the attachment is an error, the error gets changed. If the error is generated by another user, that user's avatar gets cached. You do not get signed in as that user. You cannot act as that user.
Now in the fucking OP.


Edit: I have manually edited XenForo to change the error code for this page to 500, so it should no longer cache.

For a couple days now the TOR hidden service is slow as shit. Changing circuits does nothing. Pages either load after 5 minutes or not at all, have to use the .st domain to access the site.

We've lost the newest Bossmanjack and Ralph emotes after the reinstall, however besides that I've noticed that some historical emotes were hosted off-site causing them to not load.

:ow: :applecat: :striker: - hosted on Imgur
:tyceknife: :dove: :hillary: - the URL is set to the now defunct kiwifarms.net, emotes still exist on the server
:cuck: - was hosted on the now-defunct mixtape.moe site, was saved in Wayback Machine
:gay: - was hosted on Imgur, was saved in Wayback Machine

I've grabbed the ones that were hosted off-site and put them in this .zip file so they can be properly reinstated as on-site files. I jope that the people who made the :nitenite: :ramona: and the recent Bossmanjack emotes still have them on hand for reupload.

Posting from TOR.
While my earlier issue of images not embedding and videos unable to be accessed at all still exists on TOR. I have no issue using the site.
However I have had to refresh ny circuit more often than usual as of late.
The network is probably getting attacked again.
 
Does anyone else get this error a lot when trying to upload mainly gifs? It seems to be certain gifs not completely random but I can't find anything different with them other than being longer in length. (but it doesn't affect all or even most long ones)

This happens after the image is fully loaded "100%"

Edit: And it seems that they sometimes actually load up but don't show up till refresh.

Also something I noticed about really long gifs, it seems impossible to finish an upload of one without it playing all the way through at least once, but a short time after it finishes uploading, it times out basically and the upload fails despite being at 100%. (all because it insists on playing it in full at least once. and just uploading it as an attachment isn't immune to the play requirement) I found this out when trying to upload a really long but small in size gif. Really annoying
