Having site issues

Still having site issues, but making a thread for it as i found a work around for one of them, incase it helps anyone else.

All images are full size all of the time, making thread page larger than my monitor when a thread has 1440 or 4k images etc. Even 1080 images are make the thread go weird because of the bar for member info doen the side of the thread posts.

Majority of the time, but not 100% of whe i post, either quoted post or quick posts, the web site tells me i didnt put enough words in the post, even if i typed multiple paragraphs, and i have to copy anything i type every time, because if the bug happens it resets the page and deletes everything i typed!

EDIT: Workaround stopped working.

Workaround: I have found a 100% success rate so far if i simply click the mouse somewhere outside the text box before clicking post.

Did you try it with another browser? edge?:bleh: Can you provide a thread with this issue? I haven't notice any pic resizing issues.

Bah, i dont want to use edge, but i guess i could try for reference. Will let you know in a few days if i see the issues still.
 
Using edge and ie, the images resize properly, but i have not posted much, so i couldn't tell if the too few words bug was happening, as it's only maybe 1 in 5 posts on average as it is.

These all sound like JavaScript related issues. Do you have any errors in the browser console?

No, none. Also, it only started happening the day the forum went down, and i didnt have any firefox or java updates then. There was a flash update i think though.
 
Javascript and Java are two completely different things.

Next time you're on the site, keep the browser console open (F12) and see if any errors come up when you encounter the issues.
 
Well, i've had no errors or faults, except one missing image from an old thread that said the link was dead. I have also not had the, too few words, bug since yesterday either. So no idea if that would show up.
 
ok, no errors happen with the images, they simply are always full size, but i did just catch an error with the text, though i missed exactly what it was, is wasn't javascript. Also, there seems to be an error with cloudflare, which seems like a internet security company? Maybe the one used for this forum?

EDIT: The error: A form was submitted in the windows-1252 encoding which cannot encode all Unicode characters, so user input may get corrupted. To avoid this problem, the page should be changed so that the form is submitted in the UTF-8 encoding either by changing the encoding of the page itself to UTF-8 or by specifying accept-charset=utf-8 on the form element.

Cloudflare is a proxy service that also acts like a firewall to help sniff out DDoS and web based attacks.

They also cache pages for you.

I just checked the HTTP headers and it's using the standard charset for XHTML pages.

Code: 
Content-Type:text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

Open up DevTools, click on the network tab, reload the page and click on the first item in the list. Your response headers should look like this:

And if you go to the sources tab, and look at the top, it should have this line close to the top:

Code: 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"/>

If they don't match these, then either something is changing your character encoding (bad), or your System Locale/Language settings might be incorrect.

Can't really think of any other cause, besides that and the obvious things like cache, cookies, bad extensions, etc.
 
Hmm, i've changed my locale settings many times to play japanese imports, i wonder if that did something then. I'll check that out tomorrow, thanks for the info!
 
Started having the issues sey brought up in the other thread, figured it was my firefox after all so just scrapped it and went with chrome. So thanks for trying to help guys, i appreciate it.

It good you found a solution. One thing I wanna add to this is try deleting firefox profile. It's in the hidden AppData-->local folder. I don't think firefox deletes the profile when you uninstall and then reinstall it. It just reuses the profile. Whatever mess up settings that caused this will resurface once you reinstall firefox. Firefox has a refresh feature that create a new profile for you.

Give that a try If for whatever reason you want to use Firefox again. Also maybe try clearing the cache.
