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.
Even though I check "stay logged in" box, each morning for the last three days have had to log in. Any idea why? I don't log out. Thanks!
Your browser is probably auto-clearing cookies, either when you close it or every day. I don't know what browser you use, but whatever it is look for instructions specific to it.
 
Why do webms and mp4s take so fucking long to load?
Even when it's not a huge file, half of them stop buffering around 3 seconds and either decide to load completely or not, apparently on a whim.
It's starting to get real fucking annoying to the point where I just ignore videos and move on, since even right-clicking and downloading them doesn't fix the issue.
I thought it was my VPN acting up, good to know it's not. It seems to be random, some videos load fine but others take ages, even short ones. I guess it has something to do with the DDoS and the protections Null is having to implement.
Same here. It loads a few seconds, then network error...

Must be a new change to Chrome, because this hadn't happened in the past.
 
Archive links for some reason are being buggy on here.

Anything I archive from "Archive,is" is being automatically changed to "Archive.md" and the text doesn't even change to a link text. I can't even link any word in a sentence because the link just disappears from the text (e.g. putting an archive link in the word (Archive) will make the link disappear)
Just noticed this same problem: archive.md links do not hyperlink. This issue must have started between the 10th and 13th of July.
Noticed a strange, almost “fix,” for the archive link issue.

Immediately after first posting, click “edit,” though you don’t have to change a thing, next click “save,” & notice your archive.ph/ .md/ .is/ whatever ending link, will have gone live.

Not certain of the issue behind this, it’s helpful to know if you want your link plus archive link, to go live. Maybe this will be useful in determining the original issue, maybe not. Updating on this, either way.
 
I think this is more of a "please help me I'm retarded" question, but after the great DDoS Shitstorm of Last Week Or So I haven't been able to get on the farms from either my phone or tablet. I have cleared my cache on both devices (I'm using Brave, btw) and I still get stuck in the white cloudflare protection screen that just refreshes. Is there something really obvious that I can do to fix it or is Null just punishing me for being a mobilefag?
Having this same issue too, DuckDuckGo here.


Edit: I switched my book mark from Kiwifarms.net to Kiwifarms.ru and it worked. Cloudflare issue?

Having problems logging in. Put in password, that was just changed yesterday. Invalid. Okay....reset password to the same one I used yesterday, works. Don't understand why the site won't recognize my password the first time.

Just tried that on my phone and it worked! But I still can't log in, lol. I'll keep trying with the backup sites and see what works.
*Update that no one cares about* Success! Was able to log in via Kiwifarms.ru just fine on my tablet today and now I can shitpost on the toilet again

Certain posts randomly don't have any "Quote" or "Reply" buttons (and highlight to quote doesn't work either). Is the script that disables them on OPs broken and targeting wrong posts? This one for example, from a few posts up:


I have the reaction menu, but there are no quote or reply options.

Reloading the page doesn't fix it, the options are still missing from the same exact posts after reloading.

It seems the glitch affects any posts that exceed a certain, moderate, length, like this one with 1017 characters in 176 words. More examples (1) (2) -- these posts aren't even long.

Posts that contains more than one quotes are almost always affected, but it is inconsistent. Consider these two posts on this very page:
45235423.png
The top and the bottom posts both have two in-quotes, but the top one allows quote/reply but the bottom one doesn't.

And here are two examples involving posts with only one in-quotes.

The glitch also affects posts with a lot of screencaps, but how many is "a lot"? It is likewise inconsistent. Examples:
Five pictures: quote/reply present.
11 pictures, all but two enclosed within spoiler: quote/reply present
One in-line quote plus four pictures: no quote/reply.
One in-line quote plus one picture under spoiler: no quote/reply.

I tried quoting/replying a post, but the button wasn't there to quote or reply, but the other posts in the thread were able to be quoted and replied to.
 
Null is gone for the next week on vacation so this is probably not being fixed until later. The site was down earlier and throwing back an error message, and since then every other message in every thread is missing the quote/reply feature for me. I think the lack of the quote button is for everybody.

I've seen this too. It's possible to reply to those by manually entering the post number (you can get a link by replying to a post you can reply to then just replace the post number at the end). So it's apparently just randomly not generating the link to do it for some reason.
 
I'm positive at this point that it was an intentional change.

OPs have quote/reply disabled because retards quote the whole thing just to add their two cents. That's nothing new. But it appears that the quote/reply is also disabled on "long" posts, for some definition of "long," presumably for the same reason.

Null has said that the highlight to quote is still supposed to work, however, it does not. The javascript that does the highlight to quote specifically looks for the "Reply" option, which doesn't exist, so it invalidates the selection. And even if it didn't invalidate the selection, when it creates the tooltip menu with the quote/reply options it actually just clones the quote/reply options from the post footer (which don't exist)... so the tooltip menu would just be empty.

The fact that the "highlight to quote" feature is also bugged is pretty annoying, since it makes it effectively impossible to reply without hacking the BBcode to make a quote that points to the right post.

What could be done is to hide the quote/reply options in the post footer for long posts (still have them in the code, but add a class that hides them). That way speds can't shit up the thread by quoting the whole post just to add two words at the bottom. But highlight to quote will work properly then, because the options can be cloned into the tooltip where they will show up.

If the goal is to prevent people quoting walls of texts, the implementation should be on the quoter's side rather than the original post's side. A warning such as "Each quote is limited to 200 words. You quote contains [x] words. Please trim it." will serve amicably.
 
Suggestion about Tor: Why not just disable the automatic redirect to the .onion service, but allow kiwifarms.net to be browsed on Tor? I know this is possible because I saw it load and flash by briefly before the redirect.

Or would that somehow provide an entrance to DDOS? In which case forget I mentioned it. :christine:
