Something on the site is causing massive CPU usage on the Linux version of Firefox.

This only seems to be happening on threads themselves, and not the main page or chat page. Does not appear to be a problem on Chrome.

Most other webpages take only about 1-2% of CPU. I think there may be a rogue script somewhere.

My wild guess would be the script that looks for updates to a thread and inserts that "New posts have been made. Do you want to see them?" or whatever it says.

Is it all threads or just some? Some things like YouTube may open an instance of something like Flash, although I'm not sure if they've moved to default HTML5.

It's only some. This page, for example, has no issue. You could be right on the youtube thing, though it's something that must have happened in the last few days because it's never been a problem before.

How about linking the pages with the problem? Is it consistently the same pages?

This page has the issue: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/deotasdevil-jenna-nicole-kinyon-deo-vacuus.31789/

As does this page: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/paul-stefonknee-wolscht.15002/

My guess is that @AnOminous is right, and that it's something related to youtube, as both those pages have embedded videos, and ones without embedded videos do not have the issue. The problem doesn't occur on Youtube itself though.

There are times when I open Spoiler tags and a strip of the background (comic part) will start jumping around. Closing the tag fixes it, but it can be quite hard on the eyes. Area affected is determined by where the tag button on the screen is located when opened (in other words, if the button is toward the top of the page, it will be there, but if it's toward the bottom it will extend past visible area). Scrolling does not move it or remove it.

I keep trying to remember to make a gif of this happening, but I'm :autism: so I always close the damn thing before I remember to clip it. Size of the spoiler doesn't seem to make a difference.

Win10, Chrome, Dark theme.

Is it possible to do a time stamp on a YouTube video where the time stamp doesn't get scrubbed? I tried to do a link (not an embed) to a relevant point in an otherwise irrelevant (and obviously shitty) listicle video but it embedded it instead and ignored the time stamp. Probably didn't even embed the video correctly since the screen came up black and wouldn't play when I clicked on it.

If it matters, Chromebook/latest ChromeOS, Chrome browser,Kiwi.X2 Kawaii style

If you paste a URL like this https://youtu.be/9lUfunQW84U?t=50 it will auto-embed at that time.

 

[Elwood P. Dowd]

Ah. I thought you had to use the link icon. Lemme try...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y581y-ciMzYt=5m15s

Nope. Me being retarded. Will try again later.

edit for the 87,000th time:

[MEDIA=youtube]id=Y581y-ciMzY;t=315[/MEDIA]

This works, but you need "ID=" in front of the video then ";" folllowed by "t=" then time expressed in seconds only, can't do 5m15s for the 5:15 point, must do 315. Or that's how I read it.

Fuck am I on the :autism: spectrum or what. Well, it works. Thanks!

How do we do documents like PDFs other than just by linking them? Apparently you can attach them so people can download them, but there are some fairly obvious issues with embedding them.

For one thing, PDFs can out you if you somehow get your own data into them while editing them, and for another, most of the other options, like Scribd, are fucking monstrosities and massive privacy traps themselves (also while it is possible this site probably wisely does not allow embedding Scribd).

Is there something we can convert them to that can be embedded safely or proxified? I suppose I could print them to a virtual printer and capture them as multipage tiffs or some primitive bullshit like that, but it's not exactly optimal.

PDFs, SWF, and SVG files are security nightmares. Adobe has never had its shit together. Google Chrome / Chromium can natively open PDFs in the browser, which is what I use.

On mobile inserting image URL isn't working. When ever I try to insert an URL it doesn't appear in edit mode. When ever I post it this happens

Example

Spoiler: dipshit garbage

No, asshole, that's not a URL. The thing you've used "copy image url from" is embedded into the page as a base64 blob, which you can't use as a URL. Download the image then re-upload it.

Why not have more pages than 3 in the "New Posts" section? If you skip even a single day, there's at least 300 or so and it's virtually impossible to get to them all so you just have to ignore them and move on.

It would be nice at least to page through them and pick at any of them where you missed something. Why not have 10 pages or so, i.e. 500 threads?

Unfortunately, there's no option for this.

That's gay and unrealistic.

Because even if I go to sleep, there are more than 150 new threads.

I guess the designers of XenForo should be pestered about this, because they never expected their software to be used by such a shitpile of autism an awesomely productive forum.

They are at least somewhat aware of our existence because they've nagged me about not using their default footer linking to their site. I used to have XenForo right next to Audentio in the footer, but they didn't like that, so now it's under Audentio in the grey area.
