Editing a preview/thumbnail in the gallery continues to lose its link.

When posting on Stray Pixels 7-29-15 I got this a couple of times:

Report sent in by SirWeeble:
I've had an account with your site for several months and I can't log into the forum. I get some spam notice that says i need to have an account for 24 hours and 6points in the gallery.

I have no interest in posting things in the gallery. I'm just trying to put a posting up to find pixel artists to hire for a job.

Hi, ive been trying for two days now, to register on your site. I fill out all the information and when i click "submit" it takes me to an error page. I have also tried registering on my phone bu that did not work either. When i tried on my phone it told me my e-mail was already in use so i tried logging in but that didnt work. I thought maybe i had written my password wrong when i registered so i had the site send me an e-mail about how to reset my password but i never recieved an e-mail. I checked the junkmail as well. I am fairly confused and i dont know what to do now. Please help. Thank you

I see you're in the middle of a really huge update, but in case it hasn't been brought to your attention, there's currently an error in trying to register a new account. I tried today and yesterday and it gave me some kind of server error. I'll just keep trying every day, but thought you would like to know about it, if you didn't already.

@Finlal, we have a few bugs that affect the Mods only and we have a thread for that which includes the search.
Some do not have problems with the google search but others do.
Hopefully we can get the old footer version that worked well for all.

The public queue invalid page number problem is still present. It should set the page variable when opening, rather than just hoping it has a meaningful value left over from its last use.

Active topics in the forum isn't working for me, always empty no matter what time frame I specify.

The way our console works is different than non-Mods so this issue is something we just don't see.
Can you please post a screen that show what happens and what you see?

The 'submit link' is gone from profile pages.

To submit a link now one has to use the sidebar to get to the links submission panel.

I think the server takes a while to update and this has always happened. Serves you right for deleting and resubmitting   

This popped up after I had logged in and posted something into a thread via the quick reply window. Yet, the message was posted.

This bug has now jumped one month forward: May doesn't have a monthly top anymore. Weirdly, I had checked earlier this month and it was working.

Maybe I should have read Mandrill's post before posting haha

I think we (meaning Sedge) is aware of this glitch but its to tough to control especially with all the Portuguese members.

This news post is inaccessible from the main page, because the main page tries to keep the + in the URL, while the true URL doesn't have the +. Something's up with the title-to-URL encoder somewhere.

Edit: I was able to make a working link here with no issues, but not in a post I made earlier today (no matter what I tried). Any idea if that's tied to PJ3 or is that just the forums derping?

I meant the link to the newspost itself, not the link to the extention. If you click the "Comments" link, "read more" link, etc on the home page blurb of that post, it's a 404 because it's trying to take you to a URL with a plus URL-encoded in it, but the actual URL just drops the + completely.

That is what it does until we find/fix this issue.
Pixels have questions, issues and stuff and the artist is not always prompt in taking care or things or some submit many at one time so some art has to wait.

The solution for now is to explore the new art pages beyond page 1 :p

Hello!

It seems that russian and ukrainian language isn't supported when I send and receive private messages. It just shows an error page. If it sends the text it looks like a number of weird symbols.


That's all glitches I've found : )

Got a couple things:

None of the pixel art pieces in the gallery have a "Use for avatar" or similar link on them as stated in the FAQ, so I can't change my avatar from the default.

From the Member Control Panel Menu page, some of the links seem to point to the wrong place. For example, Edit Profile, Registration Details, Profile Information, and Forum preferences all point to http://pixeljoint.com/forum/register.asp?FPN=0, which resolves to http://pixeljoint.com/?loggedin=1.

Similarly, Update Avatar on the Member Control Panel Menu page points to http://pixeljoint.com/pixels/profile.asp?pg=1&sec=icons, but only shows my profile. I would expect this to point to http://pixeljoint.com/pixels/profile_avatar.asp.

@jamon, you most likely viewed right around the time the server updates weekly counts which is automated. The main page is manual so its always fresh.
I just checked now and its all good and current to me

We continue to fix one thing and break another...bear with us all.

I'm starting to wonder if the "contact form" is functional or not.
I reported a NPA a pair of weeks ago, and one today. Dunno if mods are receiving them at all.

I was only curious about my previous report (about a reduced-resampled preview, so it was quite a clear-cut case) not seeming to have result, it made me wonder if the contact form was broken during the move.
What I can think of this judgement call is off-topic here.

Here in the forums the user join dates are messed up.

eg. atpalicis: "Joined: 28 January 2016" but first post is "30 September 2015"

Birthdays on the front page are now either random or sorted by lowest amount of points? It used to be sorted by highest amount of points..

Which made today a little bit less exciting than the past 9 years on PJ....

Hello, not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but occasionally when I look at a pixel and then click the + button to make it bigger, it automatically opens image in a new tab. At first I was assuming that I was mis-clicking on the image. But I've paid close attention more recently to my cursor, and now I have seen it three times where I am absolutely sure I clicked on the zoom button. (Chrome)

Can someone please fix the forum's user menu? It's only a CSS error and I find it very silly to still have it after all this time.

In case archive.org loses the file after some time, here's the original style which got dropped during the upgrade:

#dropmenudiv

{

text-align:left;

position:absolute;

border:1px solid black;

border-bottom-width: 0;

font:normal 9px Verdana;

line-height:18px;

z-index:100;

}



#dropmenudiv a.navitem

{



width: 100%;

display: block;

text-indent: 3px;

border-bottom: 1px solid black;

padding: 1px 0;

text-decoration: none;

font-weight: bold;

font: 11px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

}



#dropmenudiv a.navitem:hover{ /*hover background color*/

background-color: #ffffff;

}
