Code pushed

[mark]

Hi all!

We've pushed live the latest code for Dreamwidth. There are some major internal changes to how we serve up files, so you might see some things being a little weird. Please report anything that isn't loading, looks broken, or what-have-you!

Thanks for your patience!

Those of us using custom skins to make the site more functional/visible for us in ways that aren't covered by the official skins are finding that most of them are pretty borked now. Is there anything you can do about that, or should we just go make sad eyes at the people who made the overrides?

[eyesofstrength]

I noticed the same thing! Looks like this for me now and before it looked like this

I know we have to edit the style in Stylish or whatever is being used, but I have no clue what to even edit or look for and what it is now and viewing source was of no help to me.

[isana]

When I was posting a few minutes ago, the random icon option wasn't there.

[denise]

Hm. I see it there in all my browsers; do you mean on posting or on commenting?

[glampuss]

I just edited a post of mine, and the "Save changes" button didn't have any text:



Clicking on the blank button did save successfully though, and when I went to edit the post again the text was displaying properly, so that might have been a one off thing or something.

I am finding that now that I've edited that post, the "disable auto-formatting" setting that I had for the post has now turned off. I can't seem to find how to turn it back on - is that option still available?

[mark]

The "save changes" text should be back now!

We will investigate the other thing, re: formatting!

[marahmarie]

My comment titles are borked. I'd post a screen cap but I haven't attempted to fix them yet so you can see them borked live if you like here: http://marahmarie.dreamwidth.org/139790.html?nc=3#comments fixedit


I'm pretty sure it's new CSS classes added during code push or some-such thing at fault so I won't worry about it unless I see I can't fix it; just thought I'd give a heads-up. the addition of HTML classes .comment-from-text and .comment-date-text, along with the apparent re-confoobling of some comment title positioning aspects, led to my mess on those pages; hid this, changed that, all fixed now

[onetouchdonnie]

I really like how smooth the whole code push was! Didn't realize until Mark posted it here. Great job everyone~

[tameiki]

You know what I love best about these code pushes? It's how you not only spring into action to fix whatever got borked, you also take the time to explain things before, during and after you fix it.

That always makes me smile. Thanks for all you do!

I'm not seeing the little Dreamwidth icon in my window tab/address bar. Using IE.9

[marahmarie]

It's missing from Maintenance, yeah. But it was missing before the code push, too (seriously, thanks to another journal error that I've figured out, I've been here all night).

[fairandbright]

I noticed the icon browser has changed on another account I have that is paid, and it seems less useful now. If I select small images w/ no meta text, there's only three icons to a line, with blank spaces where the meta text would go. It used to be they lined up right beside each other and there were a lot in a row (not sure how many, but at least 10?). Any way to fix that so the icons line up together again when I select small images and no meta text?

[denise]

That was redesigned based on feedback people provided -- the most common bit of feedback we got was that having the small icons spread across the box made it very hard to see them, and trying to squeeze the keywords/comments/descriptions in underneath was pretty difficult, too. Because of the density of the small-icons even without meta text we thought it was better to keep the small icons in the two-column format even when meta text was turned off.

The large-icons version doesn't use the two-by-two version.

[musyc]

The favicon is having some fluctuation. I can see it on reading/journal pages, but it's missing on some site-scheme entry pages. This entry, frex. Firefox 15.0.1, Win 7.

Noticed as well: The yellow warning banner telling me that I'm using the new entry update thingummie beta - the edit entry thingummie beta that has appeared (yay!) still says "create entries" and is missing the username for dw_beta.

[denise]

Favicon was missing (so it was only appearing on pages you had it cached for) -- should be fixed either now or shortly.

[sara]

It would be really nice if y'all would teach the github account to cut-tag at some point. My network page is all hard to read (yes, on the scale of Actual Problems this is pretty trivial.)

On a related note, its icon cracks me right up.

[denise]

There is a CSS trick you can do to make sure that posts to that account are kept to a certain height and produce a scrollbar for the rest of it, though i don't have the code handy.

[silvermoonshade]

So, I was posting to a community under a different screen name for a game, and decided to preview it to see if I liked the look of what was posting and instead my personal/real journal popped up in the preview window as the journal making the post and not the fake/ game one.

[denise]

Hm. I can't reproduce this; can you give me a little more detail about the steps you were following? Also, do you have any cookie-changing browser extensions (like LJ Login/LJ Juggler/etc) that you use to switch what journal you're logged in as?

the icon browser and meta text display

[fools_journey]

I don't think this is a glitch per se, but it is something being a little weird.

In the icon browser, before the the code push the options were between large icons, large icons with metatext and small icons, and when you clicked on 'small icons' it would display small thumbnails in a nice neat array, as many as would fit in the browse box. However, now when I select 'small icons' and 'no meta text' the meta text boxes remain, as displayed in this image.

This seems to defeat the purpose in electing not to view the meta text. Or at least they defeat my purpose in clicking it, which is to display as many icons as possible so I can quickly select the appropriate one.

Is this supposed to happen? If so, is there any way to eliminate the empty spaces when viewing small icons?

Re: the icon browser and meta text display

[fu]

Refresh and try again! Just tweaked it.

Two small things

[darkicedragon]

In the new edit page, it doesn't have the link to dw_beta at the top, and there's an extra 'delete' link down at the bottom (haven't checked what it does). This is happening in both Maxthon 2 and Firefox 15.

link!

Re: Two small things

[fu]

The "delete" link will delete the entry *g*

[enemyofperfect]

Anonymous commenting seems to be broken? It doesn't offer me a CAPTCHA, but then complains that I haven't filled it out. There's a little box that shows up for a moment that says "Error: status: 404", and underneath the text field, it says, "Loading anti-spam test..." No anti-spam test ever seems to appear, though.

A bit of a problem when today is the last day of a large anonymous love meme I'm running.

the CAPTCHA I do not want is blocking anonymous comments at the love meme now by not loading...ever

[jjhunter]

Support request open here.

[denise]

Yeah, we're on it. Sorry!

[camalyng]

Speaking of no Captcha and "Error: status: 404" and "Loading anti-spam test..." messages, I'm getting that trying to register a new journal (ah, roleplaying).

[fu]

Nooooo okay this should be fixed now!

[dream_away]

Hi!

I had a problem before were my Browser (Mozilla Firefox 15.0.1) gave me a security warning about the site being encrypted but not the connection and that third-party sites could read my password/username because of it. I was logging in at the time. But when I logged in later I didn't get the warning. I was logging in from the home page.

Edit: When I tried to post I got the following error: Comment Not Posted

Invalid form submission. You may have left the reply form open too long, or logged out since you opened the page. Please try posting again.

Hi! It sounds like your attempt to log in may have failed due to some transient problems on our end right after the push happened. If you're still having this problem, do you mind opening a support request so we can do some troubleshooting? Thanks!

Missing text in FAQ Reference drop-down

[ninetydegrees]

When answering a request the FAQ category titles are missing from the FAQ Reference menu. I only see two lonely brackets. The titles of actual FAQs are there, though.

Re: Missing text in FAQ Reference drop-down

[exor674]

Just fixed this, mark hopefully will push it live sometime within the day.

[tameiki]

The comment numbers on my friend, terraplan's journal is HUGE. Is that something she's supposed to fix manually?

Never mind. It seems to be fixed now :)

Issues with Smoke on the Water by cimorene for Paper Me

[boundbooks]

I'm getting two one problem with this very lovely style. Both problemsThe problem can be observed here:

http://boundbooks.dreamwidth.org/read

1) Long feed names are over-running post titles

Ex. "daily_otter_feed" has letters overlapping with "Otter Shows Off His Whiskers"

2) All the links in the "Page Summary" part of the style are linking to internal links in my own journal.

So, it says "[staff profile] mark in [site community profile] dw_maintenance - Code pushed" but the link for "Code pushed" goes to http://boundbooks.dreamwidth.org/read#entry-49671 Nevermind. Figured out what was going on. >_>

Thought I'd let you know! :)

Re: Issues with Smoke on the Water by cimorene for Paper Me

[momijizukamori]

Whoops, looks like there's a problem with entries with no icons I didn't catch in conversion. I'll make a note of that, thanks!

Everything looks good from here.

[babysprite]

Everthing looks - and works - good from both Lynx and w3m. Thanks for the good work keeping up the code base.

Using jquery beta, expanding cut-tags is now persistent for me not just across using the back button but also across page reloads. 90d says they are persistent even across cache clearing.

[ifreet]

Odd glitch, though possibly from my end? (I'm on a borrowed computer running Firefox 14.0.1) I was reading through my reading page and someone's entry contained a link to an earlier post in her journal. When I clicked on it from the reading page, I was sent to a entry in my own journal. When I went directly to her post and clicked on the link, I was sent to the correct entry in her journal. It seems the post in my journal has the same entry number as the one in her journal that she means to link to, but I'm not sure why the information is changing between the reading page and the post itself.

[dreamsofahero]

That could just be bad coding on the original poster's part: not having a complete URL when creating a hyperlink will mean that instead the link will basically fill in the web domain with whatever the page is being viewed from instead (i.e. just having "/####.html" instead of "http://yourjournal.dreamwidth.org/####.html"). This works perfectly fine when you're linking to your own journal while viewing it from your own journal (from the subdomain yourjournal.dreamwidth.org) or making local links within a personal webpage, but breaks the link whenever someone else views it from their reading page (from the subdomain theirjournal.dreamwidth.org), since that URL information is automatically inserted to complete the unfinished link. This may or may not be the actual problem, but at least the vast majority of the time I see problems like that crop up that's usually the reason behind it.

[juliet316]

Little Dreamwidth icon in the window tab and address bar still isn't showing up. I'll I get is the Windows explorer icon. Just thought you should know. I realize there are potentially other, more bigger glitches to work through first.

Edit: Okay, not it's kind of haphazardly, I can see them on some pages, but the explorer icon on other pages (and yes, I did switch compatibility view off and on to see if that would fix the problem too) including on my journal.)

[kareila]

There was an issue with that icon not loading that we think is fixed now, but they tend to be cached VERY persistently, so your browser may not check it again on pages you had already loaded during your current session before we addressed the problem. Hope that helps!

[glassfinger]

You rock. Utterly and completely.
