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

I'm using Tapatalk and all of the external links in the threads simply reopen the thread instead of either opening with the in-app browser or redirecting to another browser like Chrome. Links work fine for me with other forums I use in Tapatalk, so o don't think it's the app. Any help would be great.

And here I was thinking it was a Tapatalk issue, but I don't see it happening on other forums that user the app. A little bit of my sanity had been restored. :)

John, do you need any info to help address this? In addition to this problem, every time someone posts a link in a thread there is a preview picture below that link that has unrelated info to the link (sometimes it's the content of the OP of that thread, but usually it is a post from somewhere else in the thread).

It's usually the last post that has an image. So in some threads, it ends up being like 80% repeated images (like when people post news links in the Japanese Niche thread).

 
Often times, when I click on the "go to first unread post" link and view the thread till the end, the thread remains marked as unread and the green dot / orange star will remain. The link remains unchanged and directs me to the same first unread post. I only notice it with my followed threads since they continue to remain unread on the "content I follow" page (after a refresh) and in their respective forums. It may happen with non-followed threads as well, but I don't notice it since I manually mark their respective forums as read.

I also occasionally experience a "go to first unread post" link that directs me to an already read post that I had seen on a previous visit. The thread was either auto or manually marked as read on the previous visit to the thread. This happens rarely overall, but especially frequently with inactive threads that are bumped after maybe a year of no posts.

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.)

I have not been getting daily digest emails for a few weeks. Unsubscribing and resubscribing has no effect. Threads I am subscribed to with instant notification still send emails.

 
"Find Content > Only Posts" is not updating correctly for me and a few others I've checked. So... I checked the top 20 posters for today, and all but three had listed posts for today followed by posts being in (usually) late Oct. None have "yesterday" posts, nor any posts in Nov. listed. The three exceptions' last listed posts were in Oct. They didn't even have posts listed for today, yet they are a top poster for today...

Ads are messing up the layout for me on iPad (safari mobile)

Same issue as Darknyss. I hate looking at the mobile version on my iPad! My site visits have gone way down and the last week or two. I am on an iPad with safari and the latest iOS.
 
I apologize if this has already been reported. When I search for any game in the search bar it says "Error: Unable to connect to tcp://10.30.200.20:9200. Error: Connection refused".  I have tried on multiple devices, but normally using chrome.  I'm trying to add a new game to my collection but I am unable to find any via the search.   This used to work a month ago. 

Thank you.

 
So I checked my content I can only see my posts from Oct 2017 back. I was hoping to find something that I posted in December 2017. Anyone else reported this problem?

This issue appears to be fixed now. Thank you.

Sorry for the bump, but this is still an issue for me. As noted, other forums work fine, so it's not the app. Thanks.

Actually, thanks for the bump! I've noticed that the issue has changed slightly. For some reason links are broken up and handled weird now:

Ha just noticed that myself. Came back to post my in screenshot. Looks like the link generates a preview or something right in the middle of it. I wonder if it has to do with the affiliate links or with how links are abbreviated or something.

Notifications

They just stay in the buffering state on PC and mobile
Click to expand...
Same here for me but only the PC. If I go to the site on mobile I can view my notifications but it doesn't clear them so it continuously shows unread notifications. If I try to view them on the PC it just buffers forever. This has been going on for 2 weeks now.

Has something happened to the search feature here?  I'm trying to find a post I made sometime in the last few months in a thread and search shows nothing.

If I go into my profile and look for all of my posts, I see the one from today and the next most recent is October 31 of last year.

 
Has anyone else been experiencing an influx of pop up ads that say, “Deceptive site warning...” or “You’ve won an Amazon gift card...”? I am on an iPad with safari. I have not yet updated to iOS 11.3 so maybe that will fix it.
 
Anyone having issues changing their signature? I tried updating my gamertag image and keep getting this error "Unable to retrieve signature image dimensions, please try another image. [#10211].

The image shows up when I click the lightswitch, but won't save that way or in BB code. Here's the image if that helps.

All search issues should now be fixed.

Yes, I'm starting to get this on Chrome for Android. It's incredibly annoying as it hijacks the page. Have to shut down the tab to proceed. Had another site I visit have this exact issue with their ad network and apparently they couldn't nail it down and shut down that ad stream until they figured it out. Reason being it got to the point where the site was useless on mobile devices. I hope that doesn't become the issue here. 😕
 
In the last few days, the initial "Load more topics" in the Video Game Deals forum has been taking at least two clicks before it works. Works fine in the other forums I tested. Subsequent ones work properly in the VGD forum.

Firefox 62.0

Chrome 69.0.3497.100

 
Just realized that the second page doesn't load at all. The first click does nothing and the second click loads the third page. And after realizing that, this seemed all too familiar...

Clicking 'Load more topics' at the bottom of the Video Game Deals Forum does not load the 2nd page of threads now. A second click will load the 3rd page's threads without the 2nd's. Does not seem to be a problem in the few other forums I tested.

Am I losing my mind?  I use the latest version of Chrome and Chrome Canary for Win10 and when I click on the link in an email to take me to the last unread post in a thread, the tab that opens almost immediately closes.  The website seems to work fine in Edge though.

EDIT - Looks to be working again.

I'm also getting this error when trying to use the search bar.

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

Like others said, I get this when trying to search the Games Collection.  *sigh*

 
Everyone together now:


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

I don't even come here that often anymore. This place used to be awesome. Now I can't even keep my games list up to date because the search is busted. I has a sad.

It's been a month now.

We've all moved to xenForo 2.0. (Well, most of us, anyway.)

For those of you who want to know about 2.1. (Admins: DO NOT UPDATE TO beta YET. This is just informational.)

Push notifications - pushes forum notifications to the phone of your current use, exceptions are some devices like iOS.

Reactions - allows for different kinds of "reactions" like facebook.

2.1 is what we're targeting for the update, which shouldn't be too far off going gold.
 
Also getting the error when trying to update my collection

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

Is this ever getting fixed? Otherwise, is there a way to get our game collection list downloaded off the site?

Was always worried about something like this happening on CAG. Glad I got my collection added to another platform a while back. (I kept my CAG collection up to date also, but it’s likely way behind now...)
