REPORT BUGS HERE

Appleman1234 · 2017-04-13 10:30
Please report all bugs here.
Please search the thread before posting, if someone has already posted
a bug you have found, then please reply to their post.
What is a bug ?
A bug is something that should work but doesn't. A bug is not a
missing feature, the feature has to be actually be present but its
implementation has to be not working correctly.
No matter what the bug is, we will always want to know the same
information:
What did you try to do?
What steps did you take to do that?
What did you expect to happen?
What happened instead?
One or more of those may seem stupid or self-explanatory to you, but
it’s extremely helpful to us if you take the time to write it all out.
Don’t assume we know anything! Simply saying that something “doesn’t
work” isn’t very helpful; spell it out for us as simply and clearly as
possible.
Any supporting information you can think to add will be appreciated.
Attach anything you think might be helpful.
This includes screenshots with the wrong behavior or problem circled
using your favourite image editor.
See http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html for more
information on how to make a good bug report.
If the bug you have found is in the lainchan software itself, and you
feel comfortable using Github, then you can make a Github issue
https://github.com/lainchan/lainchan/issues/new.

Uploads appear to be broken. I tested on /r/ and on /lam/, with
different files (3 pdfs of different sizes, all of which within
limits.) Reported by another user ( >>972 ).
I have tried refreshing and clearing browser cache (also closing and
reopening browser)
Here is the message I received:
"The server took too long to submit your post. Your post was probably
still submitted. If it wasn't, we might be experiencing issues right
now -- please try your post again later. Error information:"
[see next post, body too long]
if there's anything else i can provide to be helpful, let me know - i
didn't follow the format or include screenshots, but seems like this
is the sum of the relevant info

not sure why it keeps formatting like this, nor if posting this html
is actually helpful, but there you go.
second bug i've encountered is, after making a regular in a thread on
/q/, ~20 seconds after posting and going back to /mega/, i get an
error dialog of:
"Invalid Color Field" with an option to select "Ok".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pris · 2017-04-13 12:14
So Mono E. Lain Cyber is broken because the content security policy on
the web server doesn't allow outbound requests to imgur.com. There's
only two images, maybe we could just rehost them?
https://i.imgur.com/OUHu2ki.jpg and https://i.imgur.com/UebGaj5.png
are the images
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Drifter · 2017-04-13 13:21
The footer isn't aligned. When you get into a thread it aligns, but in
/mega/ or in a board it disaligns.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Appleman1234 · 2017-04-13 14:08

Is this fixed now ?
I have updated the relevant CSS.

still broken for me
Refused to load the image

following Content Security Policy directive: "img-src 'self'

Huh. Wonder how that happened.

Appleman1234 · 2017-04-14 15:09
>>1128
It should be fixed for future epub uploads, but I haven't tested it
yet.
There was a typographical error in the epub placeholder image
lain_epup instead of lain_epub, and 404 means that the code getting
the width and height gets nothing.
I have fixed the typo , both on the site and in version control.
Is it worth looking into epub thumbnailing ? PDF thumbnailing was a
feature I added recently.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Unspecified · 2017-04-14 15:47

epub thumbnails would be cool. also could you provide the option to
download pdf and epubs with the original filenames?

Faye Valentine · 2017-04-17 14:48
This ain't a bug at all, but when you select a specific post, like
>>1187 the active background color is way too similar to the text
color, makes it hard to read and it's a bit annoying having to select
another post to change the bg.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nameless · 2017-04-19 01:15
Not a bug, but you should probably update the copyrights at the bottom
of the page, given we're four months into 2017.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ein · 2017-04-19 17:57
I like the new css styles but when I go on the .jp one I can't switch
back to the other ones. They simply disappear.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Appleman1234 · 2017-04-20 04:46

They should be updated, if any are missing, please let us know.
>>1593
I am having trouble reproducing this, can you provide additional
information about your environment please ?
>>1135
>>1181
You should be able to download files with original file name now, this
is done in JavaScript and not server side, so people without
JavaScript will not have this feature, if there is demand for server
side implementation then it can be implemented that way instead.
EPUB thumbnailing is still on the to do list.

Rick Deckard · 2017-04-20 12:57
can we increase the transparency on the birthday balloons? its pretty
hard to read under them
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Appleman1234 · 2017-04-20 13:12
>>1637
Sure, can you please be more specific ?
Did you just want the the image transparency increased and if so by
how much ? or did you want some sort of click on the balloons and they
pop thing ?
Did you want the settings for the initial creation of the balloons to
be adjusted so there is less of them ?
You can disable the balloons by unchecking
Enable Special Event Effects check box in the Options menu in the top
right, as documented on the news page.

Unicode board symbols are missing ing tech.
1. Go to https://lainchan.org/%CE%A9/index.html
2. look at the top bar
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Appleman1234 · 2017-04-20 15:04
>>1651
This is not a bug, it is a feature called board aliasing.
It was previously configured to use Unicode aliases , but at least 15
lainons said they had issues with seeing the Unicode Emoji, so the
aliases where set to regular legacy board names.
This is a configurable feature, inb4 where is board alias citation
support (I am adding the patch currently).
Please use separate thread to discuss people's preferred board alias
scheme (None, legacy board name aliases, Unicode emoji board name
aliases, etc), and maybe eventually this back end feature will be
configurable on the client side.

Oy, these baloons seem to stack on window focus. Leave a window open,
come back a few minutes later and a soykaf ton of balloons will pop up
at the same time.

Project 2501 · 2017-04-20 19:05
I saw new themes and decided to have a look at them. However when I
tried the lainchan.jp theme, I suddenly could not change themes from
the catalog.
How can I now change away from this ugly theme?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Appleman1234 · 2017-04-20 23:33
>>1672
Thank you so much,
This was reported earlier in >>1593 but I wasn't able to reproduce it
because I was missing the information that this issue was catalog
specific, the specific theme CSS has been updated so that the list of
themes is visible again once more at the bottom of the catalog page.
In future, this behaviour may be changed so that catalog uses the
Options menu for theme selection like other pages, but that will not
be implemented without advanced notice.

I think this is a pretty old bug, but if you post to a thread with JS
disabled, you will be redirected to a version of that thread that
doesn't yet have your post in it. Reloading the page makes your post
appear.
I'm using the Tor Browser Bundle, but I believe it also happened back
when I used Firefox with NoScript.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nanashi No Gombe · 2017-04-23 19:24
It seems that when viewing /mega/, some replies to a thread will have
phantom reply numbers that refer to posts that aren't actually
replying to the post. See attached screenshots.

>>1935
That is not true. The posts link to /mega/...#foo, and in my
experience have featured post counts significantly higher than board
count (see pic related.)
I've encountered this error before, and spoken to Appleman about it.
He's aware of the problem, stating that it relates to something he was
working on. I didn't press for a description.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Drifter · 2017-04-23 21:47

It was probably this post from the Lisp general:
https://lainchan.org/%CE%BB/res/3.html#467
When they are both seen on /mega/ the software ignores that they are
from different boards and adds the reference to the wrong No.141 post.
It's not a new bug.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Otto Normalverbraucher · 2017-04-24 01:44
Threads on /vis/ aren't properly aligned. All of them take up only
half of the avaiable space, the rest is blank.
Other boards seem to be normal. Just click on any /vis/ thread to
replicate.

Tank · 2017-04-27 19:05
can we increase the line height for paragraphs?
a lot of people give spaces into their text
like
this
because if you don't do it the sentences look to crammed together.
Increasing the paragraph line height makes it easier to read. Pic
related.
The difference is suble but it helps a LOT specially for larger pieces
of text. In the example i used line-height: 1.4

This is true
There needs to be more space between manual single-newlines than there
is between automatically wrapped text
(e.g., this post. I should have been able to just single-linebreak
between posts)
Also I'm getting this "Your request looks automated; Post discarded."
message sometimes when trying to post from a page loaded via anchor.

Yet Another Lainon · 2017-05-01 11:53
This isn't a bug but it's not worth making a new thread about it.
Please change /mega/ a bit. When I go to the catalog it loads all
threads with every OP image. That takes a lot of bandwith.
It would be cool if it was like the normal view where threads appear
by scrolling.
thanks

Won't the images be cached so this is a non-issue?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Appleman1234 · 2017-05-02 03:01
>>2413
Change /mega/ how ? , Are you asking for the initial page creation
that is currently to have a smaller thread count ? Or are you asking
for server pagination like an earlier poster than wants to view
overboards without JavaScript ?
>>2478
Caching has been enabled for all the static file extensions that we
currently support as upload file types.
Caching hasn't been enabled yet for CSS and JavaScript, because these
can and do change and a suitable expiry policy hasn't been decided

I can confirm the out-of-order posts bug. Seems to happen in every

Please elaborate, what browser , what resolution, what CSS theme.
The word spacing between elements in the top bar was recently changed
in order to attempt to make the top bar take up less space, and the
numbers are still being tweaked.
Some adjustments have been made that fix the issue being reported, at
least in the testing done so far.

I see what headers was updated. Now they are something like:
cache-control:max-age=900
date:Sat, 15 Jul 2017 08:51:22 GMT
expires:Sat, 15 Jul 2017 09:06:22 GMT
last-modified:Sat, 15 Jul 2017 08:46:05 GMT
With this setup after submitting new post user will be not able to use
thread auto-update (or [update] button) for 15 minutes. Files will be
always served from browser cache.
For html and json files headers must be something like this:
cache-control: no-cache, must-revalidate
pragma: no-cache
expires: 0
With this setup browser will always revalidate files with server
BEFORE using cached version. And server will be able to respond with
304 status if there is no changes (using e-tag and/or last-modified
values).

For some reason, the feed is named

and all of the links go to /λ/, even though many obviously should go
to other boards. This, of course, means that most of the links in the

Ender · 2017-11-15 01:07
Not sure if this is a bug but I think it's very important.
I think there is a problem with the lain canary. (The message at the
bottom of the page saying the site didn't receive data disclosure
requests)
The idea of the canary is that you don't have to do anything and no
one can force you. That's why they have the form:
"Until DD/MM/YYYY we didn't receive any disclosure orders, this
message is updated weekly."
If you have to update your canary or totally remove it, I think it can
be framed as obstruction of justice, because you are actively telling
people things.
You also can't be forced to work in most countries so they can't force
you to update the date on the canary. And there is the question of
freedom of expression too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Appleman1234 · 2017-11-26 01:19
>>5103
This is by design. That message below is not a warrant canary, that
message below is there for historical and cultural reasons.
Where riseup defines a warrant canary as.
2… A mechanism to test for unsafe conditions, originating from the use
of canaries in coal mines to detect poisonous gases or cave-ins. If
the canary died, it was time to get out of the mine. More recently,
the term has been used by some online service providers to refer to an
affirmative statement, updated regularly, that the provider has not
been subjected to certain legal processes. If the statement is not
updated in a timely fashion, users may infer that the canary statement
may no longer be true.
The real canary lives elsewhere and appropriate measures will be taken
when it is assassinated or meets its untimely fate.
Regarding the canary, it has forgotten how to sing, if any lainon
knows how to teach canarys how to sing, I would be interested in this
information.

go to one of the overboards. I'm not blocking cookies but it doesn't
seem like lainchan is storing any cookies either.

Otto Normalverbraucher · 2018-02-04 20:52
Not much of a big deal since lainchan is open source anyway, but if
you visit a page without the .php extension, you can (usually)
download the source.
e.g. https://lainchan.org/derezzed
Before anyone gets excited and tries https://lainchan.org/inc/config
to grab db passwords and the like, I have checked and the versions you
download are all the originals that are in the lainchan repo, not
what's actually running.

Why is there a max length for the "reason" field when reporting

removed, jammit.
Also, why isn't the limit the same for threads/posts (30 and 100)?

remove the length limit and then sending my report with a reason
supposedly far too long?

This is probably a problem on my end, but trying to ban an OP post

I am not sure what you are talking about, I have made the reporting
limits the same for both the post report and the thread report (they

the other is set by JavaScript, but I don't understand the question
about the lack of error message.

lynx and links not correctly sending unicode characters in the post
