Feedback Technical Grievances

There are weird glitches in the autistic forum stickers.

Just little bits of color at the edges, and two dots at the bottom of :disagree: which should also show up in this post.

Thoughtful rating shows up everywhere else on the site as per normal, just not on user pages, breaking the layout.

Except under posts. All other post ratings show up with the word next to them. Thoughtful just has the icon by itself, with no "Thoughtful" next to it.
 
REEEEEE REEEEEE RRRRRREEEEEEEEEE why does "Thoughtful" not have the text of its name show up next to it while every other rating does?
 
Call me a sperg, but one thing I noticed is that some of the stylesheets / fonts are hosted at the google servers.

Every 24 hours you visit the site you will send a request to the google API and request an updated version of the stylesheet. If you for some reason press F5 (not ctrl+F5) it will automatically be nice enough to request an updated version before the cache has expired. Not a big deal, but the paranoid shitlord in me doesn't like the fact that my browser is nice enough to attach a referal:

I also noticed that, for the next couple minutes after the first request to googleapi, the browser likes to do a callback to the same IP every minute or so without me actually doing anything. Don't know what that is about.

Depending on in which order your browser respects the expiry / cache-control header it might decide to request an updated version of the font every minute since the expiry header is actually set to [request_time]. Cache-control max-age is set to 24 hours.

Not a big deal though. :-)

It's Google Analytics. I use it to see where normie traffic is coming from. Use add-ons to block analytics if you want.

Ok! Good to know, I am using uBlock Origin. Can't actually see the requests in the developer window though, how does that work? Not that up to date with all dem scripts that are running on damn near every site nowadays. Thanks.

I'm using the Null approved FireFox Quantum my dude. ;) Looked it up, no need to fret.

EDIT: It's still somewhat weird though since I can see that it's including the google analytics script in the source.

But the www.google-analytics.com resolves to 172.217.21.174 whilst fonts.googleapis.com resolves to 172.217.21.170.
 
@Null don't think your front page image is working as intended when clicked on.
 
Null why is lolcow.tv not letting me join you fags on movie nights

It keeps telling me there's something blocking socket.io.js even though the whole page is whitelisted in both NoScript and uBlock.

HALP

What browser are you using? And do you have any other add-ons that could be interfering?

If everything else looks fine, try disabling NoScript and uBlock while in the channel.

Firefox Quantum though I have done troubleshooting with others, including an incognito Chrome instance that also gives the same result.

Disabling everything doesn't seem to make a difference. My next guess is maybe there's something at the ISP level that's blocking it, because accessing it via VPN seems to fix it.

Weird-ass thing to block at the ISP level though.
