Bugs and Suggestions for Metabunk.org

[Mick West]

Very strange. I'll look into it when I get home.

 

[Mick West]

After the last site maintenance work I can neither see my most recent content (for the last year or so, except the posts submitted after the work), nor find it by search

Edit:
It is there, I can find my posts by going directly to the threads, or via their rating.

This should be fixed now. The problem seemed to be that the upgrade somehow broke the enhanced search engine, so I'd reverted back to the basic one, but it had not been updating the index. So I just did a manual update of the index, and all seems well.

Yes, now it seems well for me too.

Some members have "banned" under their avatar but are clearly not.

Who?

Do you mean like this?

 

[Spectrar Ghost]

Soulfly, for one. I've seen "Banned" used as a custom title before; that may or may not be what's going on here.

He was banned. Now he's not.

 

[qed]

Below Soulfly it still says Banned even though he is no longer banned.

Yeah, that is my confusion too.

Is it just left as a badge of shame?

Cause when your are BANNED is usually in a Greyscale outline box or something from memory?

 

[Auldy]

THIS


VS THIS

 

[Mick West]

Thanks. This should be fixed now, it was a combination of a custom banning and caching.

I asked a similar question before. The answer is this is because the thread has been moved to another forum.

Clear, in-your-face EVIDENCE of the ILLUMINATI! At this point, given all we know, you'd have to blind to deny it!

Works for me. Might be browser specific.

 

[deirdre]

that happens to me sometimes too in IE. think its my computer as if i restart i'm good. or if i wait a few minutes without 'browsing' then it works.

This might be a Javascipt problem. You can bring up a Javascript console, and see if there are errors. It's this on Chrome:


Then in the console look for errors in red, like


The problem could be some add-on to your browser, or even a virus/malware.

I'm not sure. Unfortunately it seems like this a an occasional bug with Xenforo.

Does Metabunk have any Sage-like feature?

 

[deirdre]

Does Metabunk have any Sage-like feature?

yes. Metabunk is very effective at repelling ghosts.

 

[Spectrar Ghost]

yes. Metabunk is very effective at repelling ghosts.

After all, if you don't believe, their light goes out.

Wait. Is that ghosts?

What do you mean?

 

[qed]

An environment
[sage]
t = var('t')
P = parametric_plot((cos(2*t) + 2*cos(t), 4*cos(t) - cos(2*t) ),
(t, 0, 2*pi), rgbcolor=hue(0.9))
show(P)
[/sage]
which marks up to the sage output (and possibly the sage-code is also shown).

For example, http://wiki.sagemath.org/interact/

I think they use https://sagecell.sagemath.org/static/about.html

Over the last 24 hours my recent activity page lists the most recent 15 posts, but then repeats them over and over as I scroll down.

Is it working now? Some of the plugins were out of date.

mine is still repeating. i shut my browser and reopened but its still repeating.

chrome and IE

 

[Auldy]

Negative at this stage. On the mobile though at the moment.

Same thing is happening for me, on Chrome and on iOS Safari.

I cannot check whether this is true for me on Safari 8.08, as my recent activity is replaced in a flash by everyone's activity

Is it just me or is the site unavailable on a regular basis for the last 2 weeks or so?

I haven't had an issue. What browser?

 

[Hama Neggs]

I haven't had an issue. What browser?

Chrome. It just did it again a few minutes ago.

 

[Whitebeard]

I get the odd problem with Firefox, about once a week, but its never for more than a few minutes

 

[Hama Neggs]

This thing comes and goes constantly now for me. For a while the pages would appear oddly with not all of the buttons and text being there. Sometimes I could close the tab and open the site in a new tab and it would work again. Now, it's that the site is "unavailable" on a regular basis. It just happened again, but now suddenly it's working. I can make no sense out of it.

I'm unaware on any such problem. Possibly your computer is infected with Malware.

See if it happens in another browser, and try this:

And as soon as I wrote that I started having time-out problems. It seems the problem is with Cloudflare. Generaly though these are very temporary problem.

 

[Mick West]

Other people are having similar problems. It will vary for individuals based on their ISP, and the route taken to Metabunk's server in Fremont, California.
