some glitches that make the site difficult to use

[Yanderemenhera]

so, I'm not talking about minor issues like reactions being gone for months or the censor system, I'm just talking about glitches that make the site hard to use that i'm experiencing now and have been for some time.

DM related glitches

DMs hardly ever work to the point now that I think the separate chat website is the only viable option for communicating with anyone here that isn't on discord. if i'm even able to get DMs open (clicking the chat icon usually does absolutely nothing), messages won't send and i'll see red dots in the chat bar or if I use the little chat window pop-up, it will get stuck on my screen and won't go away when I click "x" and I have to refresh the website or just literally log out and back in to get rid of it.

notification related glitches

notifications have the same "won't open" issue as DMs but to a lesser extent, if they do open, I'll see I have a notification and when it is open I will see absolutely nothing new/unread.

lag and loading times

this site tends to lag very badly while other sites like YouTube and discord as well as another forum are working so I don't think my wifi is the issue, I could actively be messaging someone on discord and i'll try to log into this and it seems to usually take about 5 minutes for the home page to load for example. it'll also lag out when i'm trying to open topics and stuff and I need to refresh the site several times before it'll open them.

I'm also on a laptop, not a switch

guess i could talk about a bug ive been dealing with recently

on mobile, for me, the sidebar (three long horizontal lines) just doesn't work
if i click on it it'll make the taskbar thing smaller like it did open but nothing actually appears after that

Quite annoying indeed

[Yanderemenhera]

@JadeF1re istg this site is going to become unusable

[YCClogan]

ye theres no bugs 4 me everything works perfect must just be u

AND THE MENU BAR ON MOBILE (i reported that shit almost 2 weeks ago )

[Yanderemenhera]

@thatguy ngl, this site has been having issues for months now that haven't been fixed and i'm surprised this website even opens up atp

[VGMoose]

@yanderemenhera can you bring up the web inspector (like this: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/inspect-mode ) and message me a screenshot of how it looks? I did try to replicate some slowness on a Chromebook, but everything seemed fine. I'd also be curious about any extensions you're using and if they seem to affect it?

[VGMoose]

@thatguy Ah yep, that still needs to be fixed. It's the same sidebar glitch but on mobile.

totally unrelated, but how do i get the gifs menu to work? There's supposed to be a trick....am i supposed to write a long link or something?

[Yanderemenhera]

@VGMoose I think it might come in go, today everything seems to be working fine, even DMs

[Yanderemenhera]

@VGMoose

this is my terminal, I do have some extensions, but i'm surprised because it's actually running really well and I even got DM's open

[VGMoose]

Thanks, can you send the Console tab? It should look something like:

(Can message if it's got content in it that doesn't seem like it should be shared publicly)

[Yanderemenhera]

@VGMoose ok, I'll pull that up and message it if it contains sensitive info

[Yanderemenhera]

@VGMoose
(there wasn't anything sensitive on here)

[VGMoose]

Hm, let me try and resolve these errors but I don't think they explain the lag. Probably next time you're having issues, the Console screenshot would be more useful

[Yanderemenhera]

@VGMoose ok, I'll do that

[YCClogan]

@VGMoose i dont have a single issuse dont know what they on abt tbh

Sometimes the site won't even let me post and it only really happens when I write something really long too. It's a big annoyance
