Tonight's code push is now complete! As always, please report any issues here.

(We're particularly interested in issues with HTTPS browsing; we're getting closer to ironing out all the bugs, but we know it's still not perfect.)

EDIT: If you're not getting the inline reply form -- if you're getting redirected to another page to comment -- please clear your cache and then restart your browser.

PLEASE NOTE: If you're coming to report an entry in your journal not displaying properly, and there's a <table> in the entry (or you're reporting a problem with your journal displaying properly and there's an entry with a <table> somewhere visible on the page): please check the entry's source and make sure the HTML of the table is constructed properly. We've made a change to our HTML cleaner to be more strict about missing tags and tags that were closed in a different order than they were opened. Most of the display problems people have reported have been because a table in an entry was missing closing </td>/</tr>tags!

LJlogin isn't logging anyone in. Related to the code push? I thought it might be, though I'm also going to try to contact the creator of the plugin about this as well.

[denise]

It's possible, but I can't say for sure, since I don't know how LJLogin works. We can't really provide support for third-party add-ons like that, although if the creator of the plugin runs into problems fixing it, they can ask in the dw_dev community.

(As a side note, historically, LJLogin has been the cause of a lot of login-related issues, both here and back when I was working on LJ. If you want to be able to switch accounts quickly, it's better to use an extension that swaps all your cookies, not just the DW-specific ones. I use one for Firefox called "Cookie Swap" -- from what I can tell, it works much like LJLogin, but by swapping all your cookies and not just the DW-specific ones.)

When I click on "Reply to this" in a thread, it doesn't drop down the reply box, it opens a new reply screen. When I get there, the button for the browse icons won't work at all, just the drop-down menu for them.

[denise]

That sounds like your browser isn't loading the Dreamwidth Javascript. Can you try closing all DW tabs, clearing your browser cache, and then reopening a DW tab and trying again? (Also, make sure you aren't blocking Javascript on this site. If you selectively authorize JS such as with NoScript, you may need to reauthorize us.)

Prior to the code push clicking "reply to this" in threaded view would open up a text box right there in the thread for you to reply; now clicking it redirects to the page where you can only see the one comment. Additionally, clicking "browse" when on that page with a paid account fails to load the icon browser! It does load after hitting preview and becoming unable to see the comment you're replying to, though.

I'm experiencing this issue on Chrome; a friend tried it on Firefox and reported that's not happening there.

Oops, looks like the person above me already reported it. Sorry!

[denise]

As I said to the person above: not loading the inline reply form means that your browser isn't loading the Dreamwidth Javascript. Can you try closing all DW tabs, clearing your browser cache, and then reopening a DW tab and trying again? (Also, make sure you aren't blocking Javascript on this site. If you selectively authorize JS such as with NoScript, you may need to reauthorize us.)

My Sticky Post went missing and the text box in settings where you choose which post to sticky doesn't show up at all.

+1

[withbite]

Just coming here to say this. All my sticky posts have poofed and I can't fix it.

[akamine_chan]

I'm not sure if this is related to the code push, but the sticky post on one of my communites has disappeared, and when I go to look at the url for the sticky, there's no field to enter the url, instead there's text that says: Note: blank entries will be ignored.

[kareila]

Should be fixed now!

[akamine_chan]

Also, probably unrelated, on this page: http://www.dreamwidth.org/support/, where it says: If you have a question about how to do something on Dreamwidth, you can read or search the FAQs. If you can't find an answer, we'd be happy to help. - the link to the FAQs is borked - the link is http://www.dreamwidth.org/support/faq.bml

[denise]

Thanks, this has been fixed!

[monksandbones]

My sticky-post has disappeared from my recent entries page, although it's still accessible through my journal archive. The text box where I would normally paste the URL of my sticky-post under manage account>display has been replaced by the text "Note: Blank entries will be ignored."

[kareila]

Should be fixed now!

[musyc]

Another report of a missing sticky. Still there when I view the tag for it, but it's been unstickied.

ETA: Went to edit my sticky and while the option for 'make sticky' is in the modules, I can't seem to ticky the box. Tapping the box does nothing. (Firefox on Android.)

Suggestion that the 'reorder' link note that it opens a new page. I expected it to behave like the settings toggle and open an AJAXy dropdown thing.

[kareila]

Missing stickies should be fixed now!

[passionfruit]

Another one for the sticky post. Sticky post is missing as is the space for putting in one in the settings. I noticed a new setting in the Create Entries page for it, but when I try to use it, it's grayed out. I clicked on the reorder option, and it just takes me back to the settings where...I can't do anything because the text box is no longer there...

[kareila]

Should be fixed now!

[ruriair]

Sticky entry that vanished isn't anywhere in a quick scroll through my journal, but is still listed on the edit entries page with all content still intact. To help alleviate anyone's panic.

edit: also seems dreamwidth no longer hates my cruddy wifi and is loading things on the first try via phone without giving me a 500 error page thing so yay.

[kareila]

Missing stickies should be fixed now!

[loudmouths]

sticky for one of my comms has gone missing, as well. can't find the entry through the comm pages, either.

[azurelunatic]

This should be fixed now; check again?

[jordannamorgan]

Interesting rethink of the superfluous tag-navigation options. I do find it to be a vast improvement. :) (Personally, it's still a feature I have no use for, but the one little button is certainly a million times better than those hated arrows.)

Just so you know, people who were using custom CSS to get rid of the arrows may now find their tags missing on individual entry views. I found this happening, and when I removed that bit of CSS, the tags reappeared.

[denise]

Thanks for the heads up!

[athymia]

Weird issues with resizing the width of the entries or comments?

ex A, ex B, ex C

Not only on app pages obvs but that's what I had handy.

[denise]

That's caused by invalid HTML in the entry spilling over to the remainder of the post -- check the HTML in the post for missing or extra tags, usually an extra </div>.

[alaspooryork]

I am having a similar problem to the users above who couldn't get inline reply and Browse for icons to work at all, but clearing the cache/cookies and restarting the browser didn't help - nor did using an entirely different browser. If it makes any difference, I am on an Android tablet and tried using both the Chrome app and the built-in "Internet" app (which I hadn't used for DW before so it shouldn't even have any old cache to clear). I even tried restarting the device twice and toggling Javascript off and on. Not sure what other steps I can try? :(

[denise]

What do you get if you go to http://s.dreamwidth.org/ ?

[izzy]

no idea if this is related to the code push, but i've been going through some old entries and any embedded video (youtube) is simply gone.

[azurelunatic]

Can you link to a public entry or two where that's going on?

[unprotagonist]

Having the problem with the entire page reloading when I go to comment. I've tried clearing my cache, tried restarting my whole browser, I've even tried restarting my computer, and my javascript is enabled for web pages... not sure what else to do.

[denise]

What do you get if you go to http://s.dreamwidth.org ?

[spywindow]

Is there any possibility you could reinstate the ability for anonymous users to use span tags (specifically the kind that allow you to generate whited-out text, e.g. [this example]? An anonymous community I frequent (fail_fandomanon) uses this tag to mark spoilers, and as a result the code push just retroactively un-whited out thousands of spoilery comments from old posts.

If it's not possible to reinstate this feature, would you consider implementing an alternative text-hiding feature that can be used to conceal spoilers while posting anonymously, a la the lj-spoiler tag that's used on livejournal?

[ruriair]

Anons on two anon communities abused the style and font tags to make the entire page of comments turn into unreadable font in an eye-searing color, regardless of anon comments underneath having zero html in them, so that's why it was removed and isn't likely to get reinstated.

I do second the idea of a spoiler tag though.

[needled_ink_1975]

Thank you so much for making the tag-arrow-thingies optional.

–Nici

[withbite]

I'm missing the link for this. Do you know where it is?

[ratcreature]

Embeds don't work anymore. Now when I click on the placeholder icon to load it, ut ahows me a text with the URL.

[denise]

Yeah, we're working on that one and should have a fix pushed for it soon(ish). I think it's related to changes for HTTPS support.

[ozqueen]

Oooh, thank you for refining the tag arrows! I love this feature (so handy for when I'm browsing fic comms) but this definitely makes the tags easier on the eye. LOVE YOU GUYS. ♥

[theladyscribe]

I'm super-excited about this as well! One question: I noticed that I have to re-select the tag each time I go forward or backward while browsing via the tags. Are there plans to make it so that whichever tag you are browsing is auto-selected (with a possible option to switch tags) to better facilitate skimming through those entries?

[themortalhalf]

I think the code push also borked a few more things.

I notice in some places that the entries seem to run together (often following a post without a subject, which might help trigger the post conga line, I'm not sure.)

Here's a screencap for reference.

Clearing cookies didn't do anything, as I tried that, just in case.

[denise]

The entry at http://bakerstreet.dreamwidth.org/2457702.html has invalid HTML (it needs a </td> and </tr> before the ending </table>), which is causing entries after it to be displayed improperly on the comm's front page and the entry page for that entry to be displayed improperly. The poster needs to fix it!

[dickgrayson]

Mine looks good! Thank you! :D

[wintershepherd]

The code push seems to have eaten my sidebar when viewing my reading page from mobile, haven't checked the desktop version yet. (I checked all the way down the page, it didn't get shuffled down.)

[denise]

I'm not 100% positive, but this might be because your sticky entry is missing a <center> tag. (We made a change to our HTML cleaner to be more strict about tags needing to be closed in the same order they were opened in, for a bunch of reasons.) In the second row of the table, your opening tags are <tr><td><br /><center>, and as far as I can tell without pulling the source into my editor and doing all the proper indents and matching and all, I don't think that particular <center> tag is closed. (The one you opened before the table itself was closed, but I don't think that one was.)

Try adding that </center> where it belongs and see if that fixes it? If that doesn't work, let us know your browser/device/device OS/browser version.

[ravengown]

Thank you for all the work you guys do! Super psyched about https everywhere :)

[knightscode]

Hi! I am getting directed to the 'post a new comment' page every time I reply to a post and/or another comment to, instead of the javascript.

s.dreamwidth.org gives me

'200 - OK

Directory listing disabled'

And I get the JQuery UI Dialogue 1.9.0 page fine.

ETA: Does it in Safari too. iOS 8.2 fwiw!

Using Chrome on an iPad! I have tried clearing my cache, site data, etc and relaunching the browser -- no dice, same thing!

[denise]

We're still looking into this one!
