Some new thing is happening where I browse the board, go away, come back and the page looks like the photo below.  A twitter image in the top left quarter and nothing else.  I have to hit the back button several times to get back to the board.  I should try just a refresh I suppose.

I cannot control what happens when you leave the site. 

I was counting on you to stop me from going down the Albanian amputee porn rabbit hole, you asshole.

Ya there is something weird happening that didn’t used to happen. It’s not about going to other sites. The browser (safari) is no longer loading Surly when to try to return to the site, or go back to the previous load. Instead it seems to load a Twitter pic. Definitely a new artifact.

When the URL is Platform.twitter.com it is not my site. Twitter changes all the time. I haven't changed anything.

I’ve had this happen when swiping back on my phone from this site lately.

So from surly you hit back and it goes to twitter? 

The post quoted below is what happens with me. Get on surly on chrome iOS, then start doing something else and put my phone away. Then I open Chrome again and my surly tab looks like that with platform.twitter.com, and I have to hit the back button quite a few times to get back to surly, every back button just changes to whatever Twitter post is from that page

Same

I usually close a window when I’m done browsing so for me the twitter thing is pretty rare but the swiping back thing is worse than ever where it just keeps going back to the page I’m already on and if I do it 2 or 3 times it goes to the twitter shit.

This is happening to me on iPhone chrome. Not every time but quite a bit. Especially if I swipe left or use the prev button at the bottom of the page instead of the browser back arrow

As if you needed another reason to kick tapa to the curb

this happens a lot. twitter embeds just stop showing up after some period of time. feels random too. 

and it’s gotta be on my end, because other people can clearly still see these posts.

i just posted this on the mlb thread. is this what y’all see when you click on the post?

yeah insta links aren’t showing.  and I’m gonna be honest, I am fucking pissed off about it. 

Same. It started happening for me a couple days ago 

Instagram embed shows up but can’t play the video without opening IG and finding the vid you want to watch from the poster’s reels page

Bluesky embed if you play video it automatically opens a new tab in chrome on the Bluesky website 

Still getting redirect to twitter platform when using back button

that’s an insta issue

it seems like Twitter/X and Insta have been having some serious embedding issues lately, and have been adopting dark patterns like redirect loops to make it harder to leave their site

Any update on this issue.  Noticed same thing a few weeks ago and now it happens every time I put my iphone down for a few minutes.  Seems to be Safari specific??

What's the deal with the occasional glitch that sometimes strikes through all the text in a post? You didn't inadvertently hit the strikethrough button. But when you post, there's that line through all your text, and it's impossible to fix with an edit.

asdfasdasdf

asdfasdfasdf

both originally strikethrough.  I fixed the second one with edit.  do you know how to use edit?

do you?

Anyone else having the double avatar situation all of a sudden?  On every page  of every board.

I’m having to login every time for my iPhone when I visit the site. Is it something on my iPhone that I need to switch in settings or something?

Strange phenomenon.  Chrome on MacOS.  Large pic stands alone at the top of page.  have to scroll down and then see that the tabs/links are kinda wonky.  I can still read everything, but the experience is poor.  Just exited and re-entered Chrome - same problem.  Here's a zoomed screen shot.

Works fine on safari, though.

Style sheets are out of whack. Try refreshing the page a bunch or clearing cache.

Clearing cache did it.  Doh!  should have been one of the first things I considered :/

Thank you!

All good, some if the browsers ignore the cache miss. My nginx config doesn't retain cache that long. 

It's quite obvious.  If I was using a Win11 machine, I would have rebooted first :). That's the normal salve for any windows wound.

@immamac can you make it such that the thread title appears at the top with a floating ribbon or something? if you're clicking through other than at the main menu it's nearly impossible to know what thread you're on if viewing on mobile. does this ask make sense?

At the bottom of every page it has the breadcrumbs. I know what you mean, but I don't think there's a clean way to make that opt in as most people wouldn't like that.
