Feedback Technical Grievances

The Fool said:
I can't help it, I'm curious. Why is KF's connection so intermittent? It's not slow, it's pretty snappy. But every couple minutes or so it'll just go the cloudflare page, and come back if I immediately refresh, and sometimes rating errors because it's down for a second. What's going on? I accept the conditions given the shit KF goes through to stay up at all, I'm just curious.

It all started 6 years ago, when the OG Kiwis decided to trust Null with the servers and hosting...

But in all seriousness, it's likely DDoS attacks or DDoS mitigation going on behind the scenes, there's only one guy dealing with all the technical shit after all. Maybe @Null will stop by and give a real answer.

Edit: It's not like it's just KiwiFarms that gets these errors.

And they have many people who are paid a salary to keep that website functioning; all we have is a drooling dog who livestreams twice a week so I'm actually impressed the Farms is as stable as it is.

You done goofed the site for me. Lots of small cosmetic things like italics font looking different but avatars are gone in threads, still present in subs. iPhone 7, Brave.

When I hover over "Like," I'm able to see icons for ratings that I previously didn't have access to, like "Semper Fi" and "Deviant." However, when I click one of those new ones, I get a modal saying "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action," so I guess I still don't actually have permissions to actually use them.

That's intentional, or at least it's just a glitch that doesn't get in the way of giving ratings. It's for those with True & Honest Fan statuses.
 
Hey fam, just a minor issue.

Seems that I'm unable to get the file select box to open up in Safari so I can change the avatar. It just beachballs a bit, then nothing happens.

I'm running Safari 13.0.4 on Mojave.
 
Yeah, I've tried a couple of times over the past few days, both from the main forum screen, and from the actual avatar section in account settings. Both times it beachballs for about 5 seconds, then nothing.
 
About 45 minutes ago I tried to load the .onion site, and every page I tried to load would ask to download instead of just displaying the page correctly (like maybe there was a Content-Disposition: attachment header for some reason... I should've checked that... I didn't). It was working fine through the .net url though.

The .onion was definitely working a few hours before that, so maybe it's just a temporary glitch.
 
I don't know if I'm the only one who noticed this, but the whole "expand signature" system in TSIC seems to affect the entire post now. If a post is more than one line it gets hidden by the "show signature" feature.

Brave 1.2.43
 
Search results won't persist beyond one page. Don't know if that's just me but I've had other people complain about the same thing.
 
The onion site has been extremely slow lately, and I keep getting connection errors. It's almost unusable right now... most of the time PNG screenshots don't even load because the connection resets before they can finish.

I've already tried generating a new Tor connection.
