The Official "Is Something Broken?" Thread

can confirm this happening very rarely (once a month or less), also on firefox mobile plus android 12?13?14?

seems in my case to be triggered by using the browsing/scrolling feature of posts

edit:
now w/ screenshot

the post-counter in lower right corner disappears, and you have the post/scrolling section stuck on the bottom.

potential fix: either go back to previous page, or rotate to left/right until it straightens itself out again and/or scroll back to last/top post.

  • youtube uploads showing “- YouTube” instead of the video title is a common bug but i’m also seeing it elsewhere like discord and imessage so i think it’s to do with google’s embedding

old/aware of/tested and investigated but no fix from discourse or otherwise:

  • video uploads disallowed on files smaller than the 30MB limit

  • not preserving transparency on some image uploads

hid new topic stats, working on restoring the summarize button, links, and and read time estimate

looks like an issue with onebox but we’re up-to-date on discourse and docker already

i’ve noticed this happening with shorts and videos with content ID music but that might be coincidence

i’ll keep an eye on the thread on discourse meta

may also try a rebake on the weekend that would also fix old broken embeds

Oh shit that would be sick if possible

did we ever figure out why some old youtube embeds just disappear?

does onebox like, lease them to us

no idea honestly and the developers over there don’t seem interested in the cause when a rake rebake (think hitting “rebuild HTML” but in the rails environment) works. i just need to babysit it

also noticed the string for “gave this a blood potion” instead of “liked” got deprecated, gotta track that down

I can’t seem to discard a draft on my iphone, once I push the button nothing happens, the page becomes unresponsive, and I have to reload to fix it (which puts me right back in draft edit mode). Happens both with the trash can icon at the bottom of the post entry box and the popup when you try to navigate away from the thread.

Hmmm seems to work fine in this one actually but I can’t get rid of my draft in the fpga thread

I get it often. I think it’s to do with how the page gets resized when you begin writing a post (also a thing I can’t stand).

Just continually mad at discourse for only showing the first result for a search in a thread which is really not helpful at all for our megathreads.

Nothing to be done on the admin end just this is like the one thing that baffles me discourse wouldn’t account for.

But it shows more if you search within the thread

Yeah, but how would you know to do that for any given result?
