Nothing I can do about this. The Notifications link is supposed to actually link you to your notifications page, but the click event gets consumed before that happens. However, the click does screw with the hover events such that they can’t come back.

There may be some JavaScript error that kills event handling on the page, but so far I haven’t found it or found a way to fix it. Even adding onclick event handlers and using them to suppress the event before it hits the actual link doesn’t prevent the drop down from being permanently disabled.

There's supposed to be a way to recognize clicks as being distinct from taps, for sites that need the hover behavior to be available for mobile users (just today, I witnessed this on Steam Workshop—tap a thumbnail once and you get the pop-up info box that normally appears when you hover; tap again and it follows the link), but this might only work if the hover is handled by pure CSS, or maybe only if it isn't.

If all else fails, you should consider it a bug and submit a bug report to the PHPBB guys, because making a feature that straight-up doesn't function on touch devices in 2017 is unacceptable.

The "mark all topics read" link is where the "view unread topics" link used to be

This is actually pissing me off now. I go to click for the unread topics and what happens is they all get marked read instead.

AUGH.

twitter embeds seem to have broken for me and get stuck at "loading tweet", so i have to right click and open their URL in a new tab

Are you using Firefox and specifically private browsing mode or have tracking protection enabled? Because that will break Twitter embeds.

no, Chrome. the problem seems to have fixed itself after a few hours so it may have been something on Twitter's end

Yeah that's the other possibility. Twitter's API stops embedding at random by design, and I think there's some sort of daily limit that might be domain specific or then it might just be all embeds anywhere. Either way once it reaches that threshold the embeds stop loading.

If anyone was getting an error when they tried to search and view results as topics, that's fixed now.

There's an issue with emails going out. Some providers aren't letting them be delivered anymore. Working on getting them sent through Amazon so they register as legit.

Email notifications should be working again. If anyone isn't getting theirs, let me know so I can bang my head against the wall some more I can investigate further.

An FYI, services like HideHost are banned from the forum. Don't register using them, because you won't get in.

The categories in the popout smiley thing are white in Play, just like the background of the category selector. This might apply to other dark themes too, as I know a few other darker themes had issues with white text on white backgrounds earlier in their remade iterations, so the same fix likely applies here too.

Avatars still have this large clickable whitespace around them and fixing this is all I ask for in 2018.

I came here to post about notifications not working on mobile (already discussed) and my personal issue that Twitter embeds never work. The solution to the latter was to change my ghostery's (aggressive blocker extension) settings to allow Twitter.

I can no longer search for an entire phrase in quotes. Did the syntax change or something?

Unfortunately that was one of the things that broke in the migration to the new phpBB. It's a bug (or oversight, or something) in how phpBB handles the search backend we use.

As a workaround, you can google for site:roundstable.com and your phrase in quotes.

Tweets don't seem to be loading properly with the [media] tag?

Like, for example, in the simpsons memes thread over in PPPP, the last two posts should include two tweets in there, but currently for me, they show up like this:

Are you using ublock? It's started blocking our media extension for some reason. Whitelist the forums since we don't have ads anyways.

Huh. yeah, apparently it was ublock. Weird.

Thanks for the help though, it's working fine now.

I had the same issue, I reckon all Ublock users will. Thanks for the headsup!

Specifically, what's happening is that one of phpBB's developers uses GitHub to host and serve media embed scripts and HTML for various sites. One of uBlock Origin's default block lists recently decided that any embedded content hosted on github.io (basically, GitHub's public web server that each user can upload stuff to; think GeoCities but for the 21st century) needed to be blocked, which is why this broke all of a sudden.

So yeah, whitelist TRS.

Because heaven forbid those scripts just be included in the package you get when you download or update PHPBB. It's fine; why would anything hosted offsite ever not work?

Should https be enforced when you login? I ask because right now, in Safari on iOS, it defaults me back to http and I have to manually edit the url on the login page to do it securely. Once the cookie is set, it stays https for a while, but resets to http seemingly at random. I’m unsure if this is a Safari thing, or not.

(1) Bold tags don't appear to be working in user titles anymore

(2) Twitter embeds don't work on tablets. This might be unavoidable, because Twitter insists on redirecting to its own mobile version.

I’m on a tablet right now (iPad mini 2) and Twitter embeds still work for me in Safari.

Yep, working fine for me on iOS 11.3 on my iPhone SE, so if this is a wider problem, it might be Android only?

Hmm. So it does. Must be some bizarre bug with Firefox then, although since the iOS version is just a Safari wrapper, I can't imagine how it could be. Also it looks like I can't tap links to Twitter either (although I can hold and open in a new tab), so the two are probably related. Gonna report this as a bug and see what happens.

It's something weird, because I've been on Firefox on laptop tonight, and Twitter embeds weren't working for a while for me either. Then they suddenly did again. So I thought it might partially be due to Twitter's API as much as anything in PhpBB or Firefox, but who knows. I'm not very savvy with computers.

Another CSS bug I caught: For some reason, the URL tag is set to display as inline-block, which prevents it from word-wrapping.

Whenever I try to use the "media" bbcode, I get this error message:

That's from the new mediaembed plugin. It gained the ability to give fine-grained permission to use it, and for some reason it defaulted to denying it. I thought I'd had it set up right, but PPPP has its own permission set, so I missed it. I set it there and hopefully I got everything now.

Working now! Thanks!

Did some maintenance on the old TRS server. As a result, some stuff broke, but it is now fixed:

• Bronibooru
• MLPonies.com redirect

Will probably also force SSL for all connections sometime in the next week.

I ain't no wizard but it seems the search what a directory that is named danbooru by default, and bronibooru uh, ain't named that.

Nah, the error was the "$libdir/test_parser" thing. Apparently postgres 9.5 moved that out of the contrib package and made it a test-only fixture. I compiled it directly and dropped it back into place.

Also apparently the site was hitting the wrong postgres instance anyway, which should also now be fixed (although apparently pg_restore is hung for some reason?)

I'm somehow logged onto roundstable.com but not www.roundstable.com

how is this even possible

Is SSL being forced yet? I still have to manually change the domain to https every time I get logged out and want to log back in.

Yeah what's up with this? Is there any reason I still get redirected to the standard version and have to manually add in the https bit so I don't have to look at the THIS SITE IS UNSAFE warnings. Every other site has long since moved to https exclusively so I'd assume any potential breakage is probably pretty minimal at this point.

For two admins and no other mods, I see dropdowns. Does that mean I can change what you two moderate?

The menu items don't have any values, and I don't think there's any way to submit using them, so it probably just means they have a bunch of manually-assigned forum privileges instead of "everything".
