John's big thread of site news, fixes, updates, and more! Something broken? Report it here.

I'm on 48.0.1 (on a Mac) and am getting the exact same thing.

It does work properly in Safari.

I have been adding games to my collection and noticed that my counter stopped at 1438. I have 50+ pages in collection so it should read over 1500. I have been adding games and viewing the site strictly on mobile (Android).

I just added about 30 games to my collection but the counter doesn't show a single one as being added.

Also, I'm still having the same problem with the filter that I noted last week.

Firefox 48.0.2

Another issue I've noticed in the collection.  When I use grid view (covers visible) and I'm scrolling down, the far right column will seemingly disappear and reappear for no discernible reason.

Firefox 48.0.2

 
There seems to be a problem with picture uploads, as I've been trying to upload a 34 kb file to my profile and it only gives me "The server returned an error during upload" errors. I'm on Chrome 52.0.2743.116, if that helps.

 
It's been over about a month and a half since I posted about problems with the collection feature and they still exist.  Is it safe to assume at this point that they're not going to be fixed?  It would at least be nice to know this so I can take my collection somewhere else if the problems are going to persist.

This has happened for a long time now. Was hoping I could make a new album with my glorious memes :(

 
There's no way to delete an account. A cybersecurity service reported my email and password were revealed from this site. I haven't used this site in many years, and would like to have my account deleted completely, but there's no way to do it.

So, please delete my account and make it so others can do the same thing.

Thanks!
 

 
I find it weird that this user changed their profile to include my user name after I called them out for possibly being a hacked forum user, posting a fraudulent eBay listing. I don't recall passwords ever being reset on this website either, I remember having to do it myself. This is something that should be looked into if it hasn't been already, so we don't have to see posts appearing that would benefit a cyber criminal.

A question, if someone makes a thread in the deals forum, can they lock/unlock the thread themselves? I don't see the option to lock/unlock a thread in the trade forum (on a thread I have up), so it seemed odd to me that the OP in this thread was able to respond AFTER the thread was locked, as my response was the last when it was locked.

 
I'm trying to add new games to my CAG wishlist, but I cannot.  When I type a product into the top search bar or the "Add a Product" box on the collection page I get:
 
Error: Unable to connect to tcp://10.30.200.20:9200. Error: Connection refused
 
This has been happening yesterday and today on Chrome and Firefox.

Fixed, thanks.
 
Is there any update on the issue many of us are having with our collection counter not changing when we add games? Mine has been stuck at 1438 for a long time.

I brought this up three months ago and it was never acknowledged must less fixed so I would say no. I would recommend taking a look at vgcollect.com and see if it's for you.

 
I can't post a new update to my profile feed. Tried on 3 different browsers, but the post button does nothing.

Thank you. I'll try that out instead. They must not want to fix it because there is no money to be made off it.

Nope. We're moving to XenForo 2, and so we're doing a complete rewrite of all site functionality. It's a balancing act between spending time on the new site and fixing the old broken stuff.

I love new things! Can you tell us in a high-level nutshell what would be changing? Or is there a thread I can read?

Hi, I'm seeing this error again from the search bar.

 
Error: Unable to connect to tcp://10.30.200.20:9200. Error: Connection refused

I just came in here to post the same.  I was trying to search games (products) to add to my collection.

 
I can't remember...are we able to delete games from the Products pages? 

One of these needs to be deleted:

Pokemon Pinball:  Ruby & Sapphire

Pokemon Pinball Ruby & Sapphire

Maybe merge them and delete one?

 
I tried adding a Wiki to my Nintendo Switch Preorder thread...get this error

I am not sure if something is broken, but I keep getting logged out of my devices. I tried changing my password, and the next time I was logged out again.

That was happening to me a month or so ago. It stopped after I deleted all cookies from all devices, then signed back into CAG on each one.

 
I'm experiencing an odd and annoying behavior.  If I go from formatted text to plain text in the reply box and try to start typing with all the formatting tags there, the text goes all illegible and I have to swap back to formatted text.  It's as though the same text is appearing more than once in the text box and just causing a mess of things.
 
I see this on a few different computers, but they are all roughly this same config:
 
Windows 10 (version 1511 or I think also 1607)
Chrome (Version 56.0.2924.87)
 
See the image at the spoiler for something that makes my words make sense. :)

Hi. I see a bug in the CAG game collection.  To see the games in my collection that start with "S", I click on Filter List "Change" and type S in keywords.  Hit enter and it shows a list of games that start with S.  That works and the URL looks like https://www.cheapassgamer.com/index.php?categoryid=0&orderby=name&filter_keywords=S&submit=Update+List+View&app=collections&list=collection&view=table&userid=&id=

So far so good.  However I have more than one page of games that start with S.  If I click the page "2" or "Next" button at the bottom, then that is broken and that takes me to games that aren't S.   It seems to lose the filter settings completely.  The URL looks like this: https://www.cheapassgamer.com/index.php?app=collections&list=collection&id=&view=table&categoryid=0&orderby=name&st=30

Thank you for your time.

 
Unable to open the Private Messages notification bar or the PM menu.

Is this happening to others? I can't reply or look at messages on here.

It just keeps on showing the loading icon in a loop.

It works almost instantly for me. I'm using Chrome 56 in Windows 10. What OS and browser combination are you using?

 
Why are so many users banned as of today?  I noticed at least 4 or 5 people banned including deal seeker and he's one of the most helpful people on this site so I have to think these were errors.

 
Was the max character count for posts lowered?  I tried updating the XBL Deals thread OP tonight and got the CONTENT_TOO_LONG error.  A few of the early posts in that thread top 100k characters, and if I open them in the editor and make not changes, I get the error.  It seems the limit is now somewhere between 75k and 80k characters.

 
Quick Replies have been broken for the past few days at least. By that, I mean that submitting a post goes through fine, but the Quick Reply box doesn't clear out and update the page to show that it went through just fine. This is a fairly old problem, so it's annoying to see it return.

 
Did anything change with the site recently to make it take way longer to load? Granted, my computer is old and kind of crap, but it's suddenly taking aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages for the site to load. After that first initial load though, it seems fine. It just happens when I first open the site.

 
The website is always slow for me on mobile when I try to load my new content page.

What's up with the ads? Now I'm getting video with sound instead of googleads? It's really messing with my broswer.

We just had to prune the notifications table as it was getting way too big. (But everything in "Content I follow" and your PM inbox is still there, just the notifications are gone.)

So if John Doe likes my comment or quotes it I wont know or will I still get the little red notification?

 
I've been having trouble with site thread notifications for a long time now. Don't know if this affects all users or just me. I can't easily stop thread notifications on the "content I follow" page. When I select to do so, I continue to receive notifications, even though the threads will indicate "no notification."

Windows 10 Firefox 56.0.2

[customspoiler=Details]
Since we don't know when CAG 4.0 is coming and I don't know if notifications will be a thing or work similarly, I figure I'll post what I've experienced, especially since it has become quite annoying recently. I think I've figured a fix, but it's quite inconvenient.

From what I can tell, you supposedly should be able to enable/disable thread notifications:
  • overall on the "notification options" [customspoiler=page][sharedmedia=core:attachments:28451][/customspoiler] or
  • individually, selectively, or by full page on the "content I follow" page.
Disabling on the options page seems to overrule any notification toggles you may have on the following page. This makes sense and seems to work properly, but may cause confusion when a user believes they should be receiving notifications for threads as indicated on their "content I follow" page, but is unaware that the "notifications options" page is deselected for receiving them.

Now, let's assume notifications are enabled overall for topics (i.e. threads) on the "notification options" page. If
  • notifications are (re)enabled in some way via the "content I follow" page's "toggle edit options" or "change" buttons, or
  • if a thread is followed through the "follow this topic" button on any of the thread's pages and chosen to receive notifications,
then when any of those threads are set to "stop notifying me of updates" through the toggle, notifications are still received for those threads. Choosing to NOT receive notifications at the time of following a topic works properly, but becomes faulty once notifications are enabled. I believe "auto follow topics upon reply" notifications will work similarly with their respective notification frequencies.

[customspoiler=Table]
Followed w/ Notifications?   Step 1      Step 2              Result (expected/unexpected)
via topic, immediate         -           -                   receive notifications
via topic, immediate         notify me   stop notifying me   still receive notifications
via topic, immediate         notify me   -                   receive notifications
via topic, immediate         -           stop notifying me   still receive notifications

via topic, NO                -           -                   NO notifications
via topic, NO                notify me   stop notifying me   still receive notifications
via topic, NO                notify me   -                   receive notifications
via topic, NO                -           stop notifying me   NO notifications
[/customspoiler]
So, once any thread has been set to receive notifications in any fashion, notifications can't be stopped unless the thread is unfollowed and followed again while choosing to receive no notifications.

Also, what's the difference between the "notify me of updates" and "change notifications to immediate" options? And what's the difference between the "X" vs. the stopwatch(?) accompanying the "no notification"? And is there any easy way to make tables?
