Code push finished, fixing immediate bugs now

[denise]

We've finished pushing the new code and will be working on fixing immediately obvious bugs now!

We're looking into problems with the new Create/Edit entries page not working properly on Chrome.

Noting that people may need to update their profile location following the changes made to the list. I know I had to.

I'm not sure if it's the code push or something else (since it's been forever since I decided to update a community/journal style), but all community customizations I try to make end up affecting my journal instead of the community.

When I change my journal back to what it used to be, the communities remain unaffected, so this happens just while customizing the communities.

However, switching between the available theme categories ("featured" to "all") leaves the current theme info changed to my journal (before the change it did list the community) while the rest still lists the community.

I'm having this same problem as well.

Ahh thanks for the report, should be fixed now!

I haven't received any comment notifications via email for at least 13 hours. They show up in my inbox on DW itself, but there's no email at all. I checked my Hotmail whitelist and DW is on it, so I don't think it's on my side.

There have been reports this evening of Hotmail blocking email from Dreamwidth again.

images broken

[merithew]

is this why all my pictures vanished from my posts that I'd posted by email?
will they come back?

Re: images broken

[run_ambrose_run]

Yes, all my images hosted by Dreamwidth are broken as well.

Re: images broken

[eemilyvr1]

All mine are gone too.

Can you check and see if they're displaying properly for you now?

I have a friend that's unable to create their account. Error is "Firefox can't find the server at perlbal." Website address, after clicking create, is https://perlbal/create

edit: they also tried using Chrome and Iron browsers and got pretty much the same type of thing.

[denise]

This is fixed now! Thanks for the report.

Is the new version of the beta update page supposed to be squished in the Gradation Vertical site skin?

[denise]

Report that in dw_beta, please, with your browser information (browser version, operating system, any extensions you have installed)?

I just purchased a rename token a few hours ago, was sent a link and cannot retrieve it. Help?

[denise]

Can you open a support request in the Account Payments category from the account you were logged into when you bought the token? (And cut and paste the email that you got when you bought the token.) I'll look into it ASAP.

There seems to be a problem with icons on newer notifications sent out (at least through Gmail). I went and looked through my trash just to make sure, but all notifs I have that were sent after 3:14 PST (that's the timestamp on the notif it started doing it on) aren't showing the selected icons in the email themselves. The corner they normally show on is just showing the keywords, like the occasional time gmail glitches and doesn't show images. But refreshing the page/clearing my cache isn't solving it and there's another notif in my inbox that's showing the icon just fine. And another notif I got at 1:30pm that's showing the icon just fine. It's just anything after that 3:14 one isn't showing them.

Not sure why, but other people have mentioned to me this is happening to them as well.

I am having this same problem, but my e-mail is Yahoo. It started around 2:00 PST for me. I thought it was a Yahoo problem, but maybe not...

[denise]

I think I know what's causing this, but it's something I can't fix, and mark and fu, who can, are traveling. It will get fixed ASAP, though!

[clanoftheraven]

Pop up boxes (hover boxes showing info about a user, browse icon windows) appear to be showing up at a higher zoom level than the rest of the page. In some cases, it's making it hard to browse icons.

[jordannamorgan]

The mood theme I use (Kanji Moods White) is not displaying. Just little broken-image boxes.

Also... I don't know if this comment should be somewhere else, but I really don't like the next/previous arrow links on either side of every single tag in entries. They seem like completely redundant, needless clutter to me, and I hope you'll rethink them. (In the meantime, for anyone else who doesn't want to see them, you can grab a custom-CSS solution here.)

[denise]

Yes, we'll have the mood theme thing fixed as soon as we can -- the people who can fix it are on a 30-hour-long international flight right now.

[polizei]

it wasn't written in the update, so i'm going to treat this as a bug, since i'm not sure why it would be removed:



you used to be able to see the account name etc. when linking images from peoples userpics and hovering over them, and you no longer can. i would really like this feature back, since a lot of people use it.

[denise]

Yep, bug. I'll log it and we'll get it fixed when we can!

[mariskalee2]

Not sure if this is the right place to mention it, but I think it's related to the recent code push, so here goes. When searching for a post by tag, I'm finding that the tags show up oddly in the post. They look like this:

TAGS: ← !modpost →, ← !rules →

They look okay if you're looking at a post on a reading page. It seems to happen only in results when you do a search by tag.

It's not a big deal, since the tags do still work, but thought I'd mention it.

[jordannamorgan]

I commented about this above. Alas, those arrows are apparently not a bug. They're links to the previous or next post containing that particular tag--or worse, to nothing but an error page, if no previous/next post with that tag exists.

Fortunately, if you don't want to see those annoying arrows, you can go here for a snippet of custom CSS code that should make them go away. (Judging by the other comments there, I'm not the only one who finds them ugly and pointlessly redundant, so hopefully DW will reconsider the change.)

I'm trying to work with Microsoft tech support to see why comment notifications aren't getting to hotmail users. The tech helping me here is requesting a transcript that emails are actually going out from DW servers.

Can you provide that?

[denise]

Oh, we know why notifications aren't getting to users -- mail from us is being blocked at the server level. It's not really something an individual tech support agent can handle; it's something for their postmaster department. We're already dealing with them about it.

Just a comment here. There is such a stark difference between the comment threads after update pushes here on Dreamwidth versus LiveJournal.

Here it is polite and feedback and resolution is fast. And when it can't be fast we know the username of the person who will work on it.

On LJ it is confrontational and one feels like they are posting to nullcomment.

Just wanted to say this, because otherwise I'd have no reason to comment here. (grin)

By the way, Dreamwidth works very well with the Silk browser on the Kindle Fire HD.
