Site navigation issues


Recommended Posts

The site seems be having issues, at least for me. Many links on the site don't work, many profiles images are missing, the button beside my username up top that would normally create a drop-down menu for statuses just redirects me to my profile.

 

Is anyone else having these issues, or am I just crazy? I already cleared browsing data and everything.

lol yeah giga.

 

when I pressed the "Special BBCode" button, my screen went dark for a fraction of a second and then went back to normal.

 

Now when I press the button, nothing happens.

 

Also, Slinky's profile pic doesn't load.

 

Call me crazy, but I think this is to do with the Halloween Event

Glad I'm not the only one having these issues. I was like "What's going on" when I couldn't access certain threads.

I am figuring out most of the issues. As far as I can tell, all "getnewpost" links are broken. That said, thread cannot be accessed from the community index, you need to go into their respective subforum first.

Yeah, I tried from the index first before going to the subforum. Same thing with some of the other threads I tried. (Though I had encountered problems with a couple of threads when trying to access it via the subforum)

Thank you for wording it so excellently, my sweet dorito

 

This is what I meant.

No pics, and posts vanish if you refresh

This happens also for mobile, I should note.

 

I've also observed that visiting my profile is impossible from the dropdown menu

 

Edit 1: Also, Follow Topic does not work ;u;

 

Edit 2: No comments for status, and clicking "Members" gives me this: CalendarDateSelect Error: Prototype could not be found. Please make sure that your application's layout includes prototype.js (.g. <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>) *before* it includes calendar_date_select.js (.g. <%= calendar_date_select_includes %>)

Editing a post prevents the page from loading.

 

Edit 3: Spoilers do not work.

Oh hey I can see Beary's avi and no one else's.

Literally can't do anything to a post besides type, no colors, no bold, nothing. Sheesh. At least I know it's not just me (Skype was being buggy too earlier)

If it's a Halloween event related thing then I'm going to be pissed, unless it's a mistake, but I doubt that.

 

Edit: Oh god the editing is ass

Edit 2: Also when I posted this it kicked me off the site

I'm having the same problems as you guys; just confirming this. (It's likely the other staff have problems as well).

 

While I don't know if this has anything to do with the Halloween event or YCM is just acting crazy, I can't check the Admin CP to see if there's any code that's messed up with member groups or something. Most I can do at this point is just mention it to the other staff members and see if anyone did something, but I don't think the issues are due to the Halloween event. (It's just this site with issues; spinoff sites are fine)

Through a bit of experimentation with the html, I am pretty close to certain that the profiles that are made inaccessible by these bugs are whichever profiles contain characters not on a standard keyboard. Not sure how that makes any sense at all, but my experimentation has led me to believe it to be the case.

 

EDIT: This is because otherwise, their URL contains an encoded character.

 

EDIT 2: Further tinkering in HTML shows that I can fix the pictures that would be displayed around the site by shortening the image location url to end with jpg, though this raises further questions about why some picture, such as Winter's, remain visible without altering html despite containing the characters I am otherwise removing.

 

EDIT 3: A bit more experimentation done, removed my profile pic to see what would happen. Default profile pic (head silhouette) actually works, presumably because it is remotely hosted, similarly to how images in posts remain.

 

EDIT 4: It seems that all URL query strings (stuff at the end of the URL which begins with ?) are nonfunctional, which explains getnewpost, specific post links, and basically every image not working. Still unsure if this is connected to the issue with URLs containing nonstandard characters.

How did you get into your settings? I can't load my profile, nor my dropdown.

Currently, your profile is completely inaccessible, since the URL is coded in %strings to utilize the unicode characters in your name. Working on a way to find my way onto those pages now.

 

EDIT: It seems some query strings still work, such as those for editing posts and entering into the shop tab. It may be because both of these examples function as IPB apps, but I can't be sure yet.

 

EDIT 2: Uploaded a new profile picture as a png to see if that would allow it to work (as BS, JamesMuddy, and Tyretian all have PNG avatars which seem to be unaffected) but was met with no luck.

So, it seems that this is affecting different members differently, which honestly makes an even greater mess of the whole issue.

 

EDIT: Opened in Firefox, getting similar results to what The Flawless Hit had. Also, he has successfully donated me a point.

 

EDIT 2: Turn's out Byakuya's profile is also inaccessible, making it the first inaccessible profile I have encountered that contains no special characters in the URL.

When I access my Profile editing, it comes up with this (Zoomed out) : http://puu.sh/rAguv/130e930469.png

(Note: On posting I cannot access either standard or BBC editing mode, I just have a textbox. Also, my spoilers don't seem to be able to open, so unsure what it's like for other people, that's why I'm linking the image URL rather than post the full image.)

 

I seem to be able to remake my banner via remote hosting of the image, but with avatar changing the pictures won't update. Current Avatar editing page, doesn't do anything : http://puu.sh/rAh3l/6ba324a11c.png

 

This is my current main page : http://puu.sh/rAgHv/c5bb70b43c.png

 

And this is my console on the main page : http://puu.sh/rAgQ7/196fa76d52.png

 

Hope this was of some help.
