Bugs and Suggestions for Metabunk.org

Could there be a thread started by someone you're ignoring? Can you mark the forum read?

There certainly could be such threads, I've ignored a bunch of threads in that section. I hadn't noticed the "Mark forums read" option before - that does mitigate the issue, thanks!

How about getting some more reaction emotes? Suggestions:

Site loading extremely slowly for me today, sometimes does not load at all and gives various error messages. I don't THINK it's on my end, other sites are doing fine.

Here are the messages I've gotten:

There was a big CPU spike around the time you reported this.

Rather a lot of traffic from Singapore

I'm not sure why, or if this is causing the issues you see.

There did appear to be either a broken crawler or a DDOS slowing things down. I have mitigated this, and the server load now seems more reasonable.

@Mick West At the moment things seem to be happy again. Thanks!

Well, not a bug, just a curiosity of mine actually.

This is an example, a screenshot from a recent post:

How does it come the embedded reddit post is translated to Italian? I guess everybody gets a translation in his own language? But how does it work?

I'm not sure if its a major or minor fix . Maybe there an option/work around. Just when using the chrome read aloud mode I can never get it to read a particular post or even all the current page of a thread. image attached of what it'll read right now. Its not a major problem for me etc Nor would I rate it high on the fix list.

Doesn't it translate if you go to Reddit?

How do you do that?

Just saying. I only participate on one other thread, about RVs, which recently switched from it's previous clunky host to XenForo, like Mick uses here. While it's an improvement over the previous service, it's still night and day compered to what we enjoy here. This really spoils one when using other forums.

How do you do that?
