If you've got questions for the moderators about the forums, here's the place. If you'd like to talk about astrofelines and similar topics, perhaps take it to a different thread?

Geonovast Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) It took me entirely too long to figure out why I couldn't see @YNM's reply to the Simple Rockets 2 thread. I was seriously wondering if I'd hidden him or not... He hasn't even posted in that thread. Turns out the forum is just confused. Any way to avoid this, or did the software just see the post happening at the same planck time?

Dman979 Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 Hmm, that is a very interesting bug. I took a look, and I had the same problem. The only person who would know the answer is @ManeTI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cydonian Monk Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I'm not sure what the problem is, but the "November Threads of the 2/3rds Month" thread crashes the site, attempts to reload, and then fails to do so and crashes again. Happens on all of my browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome on MacOS; Safari, Brave on iOS; haven't tried on Windows), and some of those browsers just straight up crash. Occurs regardless of if I'm logged in or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also never visit the forum on three of the browsers I listed, so their caches would already be null. Edit: It appears to be a javascript or some other post-load crash. I can't get anything in terms of debugging atm as I'm currently on mobile and the crash kills the developer tools....

I have no idea what's causing your issue, but I wonder if it's connected to the fact that it was a NIGHTMARE to get the at-pinging to work on people's names while composing that.

Deddly Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 @Vanamonde tags? Yes, they are sometimes very annoying. Even harder to delete them once they are in the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 The only issue with the tags I recall having is a deletion issue. I did the @, and then typed their name with a 's at the end. I was able to select their name still, but the 's disappeared, and I was unable to delete it. I had to refresh the page and use the clear editor option to fix it. Always select the name before adding the 's, kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On FireFox Mobile, it is nearly impossible to type anything in the text box after you've tagged someone. You literally have to post the comment, then go in and edit it. But I have no such issue on the Bing web browser app. Hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Peabody Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 @Vanamonde, I've noticed that there seem to be more squad staff around than usual. Most of them have little or no forum reputation. Are they actual staff or just robots? Or are they tech support? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no bots, but a lot of the Squad people are not prolific posters and so have accumulated little rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chel Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I just looked all the way down the index (or the forum homepage), and saw that on one day in 2016, 4,038 people were on here. Why were so many on at that moment? A new update? Celebration? Glitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe I thought the comic sans thing was so hilarious back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of those would be spiders sent out over the net by the search engines. The spiders just jump from link to link to see what they can find and report back to HQ.

They find out the URL of their current location and what links are on the page. It picks one and follows it, then repeats again, etc. After a while it jumps back to its starting point and offloads all the data. Thats how results are added to search engines like google. While they were on this site they might have appeared as guest users. Edited November 15, 2018 by DeltaDizzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make sense to experience such a sharp decline of members' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
