Forum glitches

Yes, it is odd. If I post something like 'The price of chips these days is unacceptable! ' and you respond with , agreeing with me, then I lose two points.

It's a Xenforo thing, nothing we can alter.

That's crazy, a hardwired 'blame the messenger' mechanism!

Someone's point total could go negative.

Surely none of us complain that much?



Oh, yes...

Oh, yes...

Having read the fine print, I am informed that the reaction score can decrease, when someone reacts with 'sad' or 'angry'. So theoretically, this counter could go below zero.

Well, there is a practical consequence. Someone's point total could go negative. We don't have any categories for that. So, maybe we need some new ones
"spawn of Pan", "Spartacus brigand", "accursed of Jove", "captive of Pluto" for negative point totals.

This issue reminds me that some new members throughout the years have expressed their regret, that they 'make promotion' while being active on CF, and rather would have stayed 'condemned', the entry status. Negative points could then include status like 'flogged' or 'crucified'.

I am now also somehow unable to reply to people on a thread I made... is any progress being made on fixing this all?

Have you tried refreshing the screen before writing a reply. I have to do that every time. And, yes, hopefully things will be restored to proper working order soon.

Yes me too, I have to refresh before replying or even adding a like. I’m like the Refresh Prince of Despair

That worked - thank you. (I just wish it did for private messages...)

It should … does for me

Again… as I see it. … the site seems to be operating both as an https (secure) site and as an http (not secure) site. The latter seems to be the default. If your browser or phone/computer is set to distrust an http connection, you can’t reply or post until you’ve refreshed and forced the site to switch to https.

Then you are fortunate... not a term oft applied you, I know!

Not sure whther this has been mentioned earlier but when I access What's New page and scroll down to the resources, I see ten new stories. Activating the 'View more...' button, however, sends me to the 'New Resources' page -- where those ten stories are unexpectedly reduced to just three.

That is indeed one of the mysterious corners of our mighty Forums! I can only suppose XenForo observes a distinction between 'New' (3 this month) and 'Latest' (going back several more weeks).

I suppose so, but offering more and forking up less is usually somewhat veiled in our days; here the effect reminds one of the chocolate rations business in 1984. Users writing more new stories would set things aright, but...

I don't really understand these things, so I'll post it here for those who might (a) know what it's all about and (b) might be concerned - in a regular newsletter from Malwarebytes, I read that in 3 months time uses of Windows 7 or 8.1 won't be able to use Chrome on their equipment, some agreement between Microsoft and Google expires then. I think some have mentioned they are using Windows 7 + Chrome (and it's not giving any probs with CF)?

Since I upgraded the system to Linux Mint 20.3 (Una), I have to log in to CF every time I start a browser, even though the "stay logged in" box is checked. Otherwise no problems.

Another reason to thank the God of Gigabytes that I have a Mac.


And like this guy, it took me a while to learn how to use it. But once I lay down on my side, it got easier.

Hello
I have a recent pb when trying to download a picture from Cruxforum (cfr screenshot)
Pb on all chromium-based browsers (Google Chrome, Edge, Brave

This problem does not exist with Firefox

 

[Eulalia]

I understand that ImageMaker has found that his experiment has not made any significant difference to our costs, so he is going to re-set the system to the way things were, and, hopefully, we'll have fewer glitches.
