PF5 Problems & Errors: Report & Discuss

[BillTre]

Just restarted my computer also, with no effect.

These are mine:

at least here.

That's what I get as well, under Firefox on a Windows 7 workstation. Same as I've always seen since the new system was installed except that the last one, "skeptical", is new

Hi @Greg Bernhardt . I was trying to use the Search advanced feature to find threads where 2 (or more) PF members have contributed.

However, every time I enter 2 PFS member names, (under "Posted by:" with PFS Member X and Member Y) I only see cases where posts by Member X or Member Y, not Member X and Member Y. Is there a way to use the AND option in searches?

The software always searches posts. A post is from a single user.

A link like the above would have expanded after saving the draft and then reopening it, such that the blue covered the whole paragraph it was in as well as neighboring paragraphs.

Messed up BB code somewhere I guess, but hard to diagnose based on that description.

@Greg Bernhardt: I cleared my cache (sort of) and it went from the light bulb to the red downvote icon. It was good before! But after reloading it was good again, just a one-time glitch.
Firefox/windows.

I don't use the BB code, but I suppose I could have hit a button or some keys without noticing.
I will see if it happens again in the future.

I have the anger icon on a new installed Firefox (W10).

Here is the file that should be loaded

[fresh_42]

Here is how Opera displays the png (Chrome has it correct).
If I download the png file as linked, and open it with a graphic program, then the downloaded version are different in Opera and Chrome, too.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

I purged the file from the CDN, try now

 

[Tom.G]

Yup, somthin' has a-changed. Old Firefox 43 on Win XP here.
Second icon used to show the lightbulb, now it shows thumbsdown. Hoovering over it shows text 'Informative'. When I click on it, (on Greg's post 306 above) it shows as Red Thumbsdown.

Trying a Copy Image here:
Hmm, it copied the text, not the image. (I'm getting behind, same result after Greg purged the file from CDN and I did a page refresh)

I note that the second emoji has "id=7", the rest are in numeric order

Just did an exhaustive search and that .png file does not reside on this computer, even though I've used a couple Likes in this session.

 

[Tom.G]

Two associated posts here, this and the next one.

Quote of Gregs post 306 here, next post is with the URL entered as text after Gregs post 306.

That same URL entered via copy-paste:

Notice that the URLs are repeated!

 

[Tom.G]

OOPS! the repeat only shows up in the local edit window; not in what gets posted.

PLEASE IGNORE, OR DELETE, THIS AND THE TWO PRIOR POSTS.

 

[Wrichik Basu]

But is still labelled informative if you hover over it.

Yes, the labels are the same as before.

I get those with Opera! (Haven't installed Firefox here.)

The interesting fact is, I am not getting the red icons from Chrome on my laptop (Win 10, the latest version of chrome). The screenshot that I posted was from Chrome on Android.

Clear your browser caches

I see the red icons on Android even after clearing cache and cookies.

From laptop, I am seeing the yellow icons, but from Android, I am seeing the red icons, same as what @fresh_42 posted in #307.

Everything was tried on Chrome, no other browser was used.

No changes in Opera. The "like" I set was said "informative" with "thumb down" shown, and the "download linked content" led to the wrong png file, too, displayed by an image program, no browser.

I think the file is not what makes the difference, it is the interpreters which do. Can you post the file as an attachment rather than a link? I would like to see what happens if I download the file without being interpreted by the browser first and see what happens.

The only solution I see is, either to change the two icons into something which is not interpreted differently or to drop them. Of course I don't know whether this is a "quickly done" or "impossible" change.

When you click the CDN link, you see a image with the "thumbs down" icon?

What is an interpreter?

 

[Wrichik Basu]

When you click the CDN link, you see a image with the "thumbs down" icon?

Yes.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

I know the issue, should be fixed now

 

[fresh_42]

When you click the CDN link, you see a image with the "thumbs down" icon?

When I click the link then I use the browser as image viewer, and all is as described: correct in chrome (W10), wrong in Opera. I wanted to test the file itself.

What is an interpreter?

The various browsers. They interpret the code line by line, or meanwhile tag by tag, in contrast to a program which needs a compiled code and executes the compilation.

App.:
Back in Chrome to see what my "informative" did here.
The good news is, it is shown as "informative" on this platform.
The bad news is, it shows "Tom G" as the one who set the mark, not me.

 

[fresh_42]

Fixed in Opera and Firefox, and the marks carry the correct author "you" now.✌

 

[Wrichik Basu]

Just out of curiosity, where was the issue?

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Just out of curiosity, where was the issue?

I upgraded PFs core software a few days ago, it overwrote the custom reaction image.

 

[Tom.G]

I'm hiding everywhere[/size].
(And didn't even know it! What a waste. )

When viewing a particular members Information page, clicking on the "About" button brings up the "Conversation" window, not the About window.

This does not occur with all members. It does occur here:

[fresh_42]

Looks like the same to me, just with and without About information given.

I get the same thing. No "about" and a link to start a conversation

 

[fresh_42]

Yes, since there is no About information entered and the conversation button is always there.

Ah ha.

OKaay... try this logically similar situtation.
Three Four push buttons on a panel, labelled Up, Down, Pause, Fire.
You push the Pause button.
The Pause function is not implemented.
What random function should be activated?

I don't understand this comparison. The About button does what it does with every user. Some have disclosed personal information, other have not. Thus it is empty. At the bottom of the About page is always the "Start Conversation" option. Well, not always. I couldn't start a conversation with myself.

Mine seems to be OK. . . .
