When I go to my profile, Skype, Twitter, Location, and Interests all have Array next to them. 

  • SkypeArray
  • TwitterArray

PROFILE INFORMATION

  • LocationArray
  • InterestsArray

Is this a forum error or moderation intervention?

We never moderate users without alerting them in some way. Whether that's posting in a thread, sending a PM, or issuing a warning, you will know what we've done and why we did it.

 

If you didn't get anything from us, than it's not moderator activity.

I also have two that keep unreading themselves, in that same thread.

Different threads, but I also have two items that are being listed as unread.   Gladly though, the notification icon is not appearing, so once they drop off the top of the list, they won't be an issue....

I've also noted that if somebody links a thread you've started, or even a single post, you get a notification.   This is a good thing.

Ok, I'm no longer sure if this is actually an issue on my side since it happened to me multiple times now but I don't find a way to replicate it consistently:

Since the recent forum update, sometimes a post stays in the editor after submitting it and the spoiler is revealed, with no option to hide it (refreshing the page fixes it but it's annyoing). Both issues can happen independently or together:

Spoiler

The spoiler box just says "Spoiler" instead of "reveal hidden content" or "hide content" and nothing happens when I click on it. At the bottom, you can still see the post in the editor, even though it's already submitted.

Am I really the only one who got this issue?

Ok, this is weird... maybe related to @4x4cheesecake‘s post above... but I’m unable to post Kerbaloid’s post from this thread, which has a spoiler in it. Any time I try, once I hit “save” my post disappears and there’s a “this field is required” error down at the bottom. Also, can’t use smileys when I try, either. Just... nothing happens...

on iOS safari if that helps. :confused:

The box said Spoiler until I expanded it, then it said "Hide Contents", when I closed it, it said "Reveal Hidden Contents".    Go figure. 

Yeah, we had a recent forum update, that seemed to slightly bork a few things.

...Now notifications about someone liking a post are automatically marked as "read", even though I just logged into the Forums and had no chance to even see it beforehand.

Anyone else having this issue?

I used to have the same problem for a few hours every time I cleared my internet cache when I was running internet explorer. I haven't seen it since I switched to chrome.

hm. it would be great for some sort of fix. I've looked at the sourcecode for the forum but it doesnt show anything out of the ordinary. I've also reset chrome, and tried accessing the site in Opera, Firefox, Edge, even *gasp* 

Spoiler

Internet Explorer

It's still the same, unfortunately

That's what a web site looks like when its stylesheet doesn't load. Probably the browser's fault.

I did not know that that existed.

The code did not load all the way.

Has the behaviour of the forum regarding posting images changes in the last week?

The reason for asking is that a few days ago I put together a new PC and at the same time switched from Windows 7 to 10. After that I found that I could no longer just paste an image URL directly into a post (it now shows up as a clickable link rather than the image), as I'd done in the past. Now I have to use the "Insert image from URL" button, which takes an extra couple of clicks for each image.

It's a bit of a coincidence that the behaviour changed when I switch OS, but as I'm using the same browser (Firefox), I'd be surprised if that made the difference. So I'm wondering if the simple pasting method for adding images happened to get pulled this last week.
