I'm pretty sure that's how it's supposed to work. that's how it's setup. If you can show me the raw images, i can take another look at it.

The one on the left is supposed to be

while the one on the right is showing up as the correct one. You can quote this post to see the difference in code between the two.

This is actually been happening for a number of years, now. I myself just never thought to report it as an issue since it's such a small thing.

HMW missions currently aren't processing - looks like it started with mission #348131 at approx 6pm site time. Every mission since then has been 'Unknown' and no log or XP/energon rewards.

I presume it's the per-minute cron job having issues (if it were just timing out part way through, we should get some missions processed but not others - instead, no mission results are getting recorded at all).

It was resolved earlier. should be back to normal. there was a conflict with the 3 different versions of Seibertron that are currently running right now. There's the old version with outdated database functionality, the old version that uses modern database functionality, and then the new version that uses modern database functionality. When I reorganized some core code in the main "heart" of Seibertron.com, there became a conflict with the site's version controls and it created errors in files like the cron tasks that run on the server.

Still broken, sorry. It looks like it was working from about midnight to 2am site time, but it's been returning Unknowns again since then.

There's something strange going on with the layout of the topic list:

For comparison, here's how it used to look:

Nothing serious, just a small cosmetic issue.

Thanks for the heads up. Its on my list to fix if its something simple to fix. The "golden age" of seibertron code has broke in some places where I'm not accounting for the old styles in seibertron.com code. I'll have to see if the silver age code can be easily adapted for our forums.

Ive been working on completely redoing the news section. Came up with something really cool earlier today that I think you guys will like.

Wow. This turned into an insane project that was far more intensive than I ever would have anticipated. It should have been a simple style (CSS) update but it turned into a massive issue untangling the old site from the new site. I spent 20 of the last 24 hours working through this. I'm exhausted. Resolving one problem, just made other problems crop up, plus I had an issue where I couldn't login to my copy of Seibertron.com on my laptop in my local environment so I had to figure that out, and I ended up sucking more of phpBB into official Seibertron.com code as I changed another core part of phpBB that dealt with the config database and how the forums work with that database and code, which impacted all of our sessions and cookies as well. Now the same version of phpBB operates on the server and my local environment with no work arounds. This will enable me to continue gutting phpBB throughout this year to convert this into modern social platform.

On the other side of this, I think I've got the old site (and more importantly the content in the main content area) isolated so that if you are viewing the new site (version 15) but the page hasn't been converted yet to the new version of the site with updated pages (version 15.02 or greater), then the content SHOULD look the same as it did previously, even though you are viewing that content on the "new" site (version 15). I'm sure there are pages I will need to address after these changes but I've got the process of fixing the styles pretty down pat now.

Anyone else had issues trying to log in yesterday? I had Error 500 or something like that. I'm assuming the system upgrade played a part? Appears fixed now.

Yah, sorry about that ... lots of bugs will keep cropping up as I maintain 3 different versions of Seibertron.com currently.

All good. Bit of teething issues for the long term gains.

https://www.seibertron.com/features/ returns a 404 error. I discovered this when I mistook it for the Forums website tab and opened it in a new browser tab. (Lousy sleep sure is annoying.)

This same error appeared when I tried to visit the HMW forum.

Yeah, intermittently getting 503 error screen. Seems to be resolved.

But that's the least of the problems in the world right now.

^ HMW Forum and RPG Forum both doing this, for nearly two days now. I thought it was everywhere, but appears to be just those two forums.

While doing a search through past news articles (including ones as recent as this week), every image in every news article appears broken. Going to each individual news article shows the images working fine, but on the search pages the images are broken.

Examples:

Thanks. This has been fixed. It was something I broke last night when I was trying to resolve a problem with lazy loading of images.

The "view the latest post" buttons seem to pick a random dates or maybe a date that's cached somewhere, often at the beginning of June. Even does this on some topics I've since posted to.

Is it at least linking to the right page of the topic? I had some issues with it before, but now it seems to load the top of the page and then scroll down to the actual latest post once that section has loaded (which may take several seconds depending on connection speed).

I sometimes find it loads the page, scrolls down as far as it can, then scrolls again when the actual last post has been loaded. Not sure if that means the anchor is initially loaded at one position and then pushed offscreen by DOM updates / lazy-loading.

It always starts at the top of the page, though whether or not it's the top of the correct page depends on how popular the topic is.

I'll add this to my growing list! Thanks for letting me know, Emerje. I don't use the links like "view the latest post" so it always fascinates me when you guys mention something like that which is a key part of how forums like phpBB work, yet I don't use them at all. I'm the odd one regarding this subject.
