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.
Being on Mullvad is kind of slow rn. This has only been happening since the FurAffinity redirect so I think it has something to do with that. Turning the VPN fixes the issue, but I don't want to do that for obvious reasons lol.
 
Idk if this has been answered yet but have only been able to react with Like on member profile comments. I thought it was a change where only True and Honest Fans could rate differently but some newbie was able to rate Agree :/

this^^ for about 3-4 months now, it was a change that happened right around the time sticker notifications were suspended. I just assumed it was part of the suspension
 
the app made me actually say "fucking nice" but in chat it doesn't align the input field correctly.

normally your keyboard hides the input field until it anchors above the keyboard but that is broken. also in soem cases rhe field doesn't anchor correctly when the keyboard is inactive and is hidden regardless of if you interact with it or not.

cool idea


EDIT: I SUCK DICKS AND THIS MAGICALLY FIXED ITSELF THE 5TH TIME I ENTERED CHAT?

The site is currently very slow in all browsers (mobile, desktop); parsing responses/attribution upload failed (uploading .gif and photos) and some videos being unable to upload here.
Occasionally, the site becomes broken even with the strongest Wi-Fi and pops the 502 bad gateway error.

edit: we are back.

My 100 MB video upload keeps failing, even over the onion address which usually works for me. Was working great after that backend magic that was done not long ago, but now it's failing like it did beforehand.

This is an old bug that keeps happening. Jersh is aware of it, he has to fix it by hand.

I remember in a MATI that josh was surprised that someone managed to upload a 100mb file onto the farms. It always fails to upload >100mb files for me. I thought it was a hard limit on filesizes?. maybe shrink the size of your video?
 
Now I'm getting occasional "Page couldn't be loaded" errors. DDoS? Alyssa Mercante sending in the flying monkeys?

The limit is 200 MB. I've uploaded files close to that before. Larger files were failing because of an issue he recently fixed:
Null said:
The issue was that openresty debian did not ship with the http slice module which allowed byte range requests. Since we have 200mb+ files, that means our local S3 had to serve 200MB requests, send them to the middle servers, and have those servers cache and send byte ranges out.

I assumed this was "a problem" but I didn't really appreciate just how big of a problem it was. When we started hitting 3000+ users again I realized there was a serious I/O issue and it was causing database errors. I gave the database ionice priority and that helped a lot, which surprised me because our storage is all SSDs. The SSDs were peaking at over 750Mbps of read. I assumed this was just the natural usage of the S3 server, since the IO was on that and not the webserver. At some point it clicked that all the problems were unified by a common theme of large files not sending as byte ranges and yelled at the vendors to ship with slice. It cut IO read down by more than 1/10th.

In retrospect I think that any person opening any page with videos caused the S3 to load and send the entire video just to generate the first bit of the byte range for a preview image, i.e. every video tag had a full download impact on S3.

Large uploads were working great after this.

Is there a way to quote a post in an edit? There's no insert quote button when editing.
 
I don't know what's going on with the chat room feature but it won't let me join the general chat. I switched my vpn but it still doesn't work. does anyone else have this problem?

This isn't really an issue with the forum specifically but I've tried to resolve it and find a solution, however so far nothing has worked.

For whatever reason, audio in media on the farms isn't working. The video itself will play however audio does not seem to materialise. I have to download videos to hear them. On top of this it will kill any audio in chrome such as youtube and require it to be closed and reopened for audio to be heard again. It is specific to the farms -- no other website seems to cause this issue as far as I'm aware. Only impacted desktop.

Any ideas?

What browser? You're probably using something that doesn't permit non-free codecs and that's why. Aren't you the guy on Linux Mint with free-only FireFox?

I've never used Linux in my life. I'm on Windows, Google Chrome for the majority of my usage

On mobile when opening spoilers, the page likes to jump back up to the top of the spoiler before I can scroll to the bottom of the text. If I open a spoiler and forget it open and manage to get past the post with the spoiler in it, eventually it will jump me back up to the top of the open spoiler. Not sure if this is something on my end or a Kiwi issue, as I am not a tech-autist but a tech-tard.

Was having this issue on Firefox and now on Brave as well, so I'm more inclined to believe it's not a browser problem. I see that others on other forums have had the same issue, but can't seem to find anything with a solution to fixing it (Xenforo community forum post).

While I'm at it, I also frequently have this issue where opening a new tab via a posted link will take me to the end of the page rather than to the specific post referenced in the link. Another issue that seems to be common elsewhere and yet I haven't found any solution. It does appear to be a wider platform issue versus a Kiwi issue (GitHub forum post) but I figured I'd mention it here anyway in case anyone figures out how to fix them.
