REPORT BUGS HERE #2

As >>1005 hit post max, here is #2. 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.

>>8210 Regarding /hum/ being hidden this probably a bug in https://github.com/lainchan/lainchan/blob/master/js/boardlist-alias.js#L94 , given it only hides the boards in the People category, it should also hide the boards in the STEM category and Misc Category. It will be fixed later today.

I keep getting "Your request looks automated; Post discarded." I don't understand how this automated thing even works, how am I suppose to know what to even post? this feature need some working and explaining

The IRC certificate has expired again

>>8672 Same is happening for me

This has been resolved.

I seem to be getting a "stop spamming" message whenever I try posting from a tor node at the moment, I haven't actually posted enough in the session for it to be aimed at me and the IP itself isn't derezzed so I have no idea why i am getting this.

Just curious: what was that posting error from?

All my posts are getting discarded. It doesn't matter whether it's on Tor or not.

>>8906 Maybe because I'm pasting in text? Or maybe posts about hypnosis are derezzed?

>>8416 Not sure if this is a bug or it's my soykaf connection but on this: https://lainchan.org/%CE%BB/res/14148.html#21450 I posted a reply and the file got uploaded three times and the text twice.

>>>/lain/53 isn't pinned and it's last reply was in the year 2017 but it's above >>>/lain/553 whose last reply was in the year 2020.

>>8416 https://lainchan.org/donate.html sticker link is broken

the XMPP thread on /tech/ just disappeared, anyone know why?

>>9202 I deleted it. It was a copypasta from /g/ complete with advertising some /g/ server. If it is remade, without the advertisement, I will leave it up. But we are not some /g/ outpost and I would rather people at least try to make the attempt instead of just spamming copypasta, which seems to have become common place.

Sometimes on /mega/ I see the same post twice below each other. No screenshot.

>>9278 That's just remainders of me deleting my posts so I can redact them to perfection.

Posting a .jfif gives "unknown file type" or some similar error. .jfif is just jpeg

Posted >>>/hum/36629, now 404s

>>>/Ω/38797 Some strange glitch with the URL: It looks like a link, but clicking it doesn't go anywhere, and tabbing through skips over it.

IRC cert expired again. <3

>>9538 Cert expires Feb 22 02:24:46 2021 GMT

Can't post from links (the web browser). It says the requests looks automated.

I keep getting a message about "this post looks automated. Post discarded" at random. It was in humanities that I noticed this issue when trying to give advice on a "going to be homeless soon thread." Do you know how to make a post look less automated? Do I have to make deliberate grammar errors to do it?

You can't report posts from /mega/ with no JS turned on, which isn't good when some retard uploads CP.

Radio's "now playing" often shows unicode instead of actually rendering the characters. At the moment, cafe says: "Now playing: &#30456;&#23550;&#24615;&#29702;&#35542; - &#12431;&#12383;&#12375;&#12364;&#12431;&#12383;&#12375;"

>>9592 Can confirm this is happening to me on all boards. I suspect it might be a unicode thing.

>>9631 >>9592 What browser are you using ?

>>9633 I receive the same error in IceCat, Firefox, UnGoogled Chromium, and the Clover android app.

data is rate limited or are is lain getting ddosed?

The mega catalog is not being updated for hours, this problem has been going on for days.

>>9780 What do you mean ? Is it just the mega catalog or all catalogs ?

>>9782 Not them but I've also noticed /mega/ and /megaq/ are not being updated properly, board catalogs are fine

>>9782 Not sure, I usually browse lainchan by looking at the mega catalog, but since one or two weeks it looks like it doesn't get updated. Now I look at the /mega/, not at the /mega/ catalog but that is not very comfy. Every once in a while the catalog is on the on the newest version and shows the same post at the top as the normal /mega/. I hope I can get across what I mean, feel free to ask again if my weird wording doesn't help you to understand the problem.

>>9787 >>9784 >>9780 I believe this is fixed now. It had to do with smart build not supporting the multiple overboards we have.

>>9797 I don't thinks so, looking at /mega/catalog shows the quantum computing thread first, with one reply. It has many replies and is not the number one of the bump order.

>>9802 You still here appleman? Doesn't work for me, on none of the boards

>>9819 Yes I am still investigating.

I am unable to post in most boards for the last few weeks because of the error "this post looks automated. The following was rejected in /λ/ along with attached image. Is this ever going to be addressed? >"Internet service providers used to be local businesses and only served a few towns in the region. These days if you want to start your own ISP for your town you're have to jump through a bunch if hoops and red tape designed to drive up the startup cost, as well as deal with whatever dominant megacorp is in the area constantly trying to bully/threaten/blackmail you into giving up. If you want internet without supporting a megacorp you can always pipe usenet services through packet radio. Be aware that you'll have rather slow connections so an CLI browser like Links or maybe Surf is a good idea."

>>9819 It should be fixed. >>9831 I would love to address it, but I can not do so without more information. From the information you have provided, all I know is that you are tripping the antispam mechanism . /* * Introduction to Tinyboard's spam filter: * * In simple terms, whenever a posting form on a page is generated (which happens whenever a * post is made), Tinyboard will add a random amount of hidden, obscure fields to it to * confuse bots and upset hackers. These fields and their respective obscure values are * validated upon posting with a 160-bit "hash". That hash can only be used as many times * as you specify; otherwise, flooding bots could just keep reusing the same hash. * Once a new set of inputs (and the hash) are generated, old hashes for the same thread * and board are set to expire. Because you have to reload the page to get the new set * of inputs and hash, if they expire too quickly and more than one person is viewing the * page at a given time, Tinyboard would return false positives (depending on how long the * user sits on the page before posting). If your imageboard is quite fast/popular, set * $config['spam']['hidden_inputs_max_pass'] and $config['spam']['hidden_inputs_expire'] to * something higher to avoid false positives. * * See also: http://tinyboard.org/docs/?p=Your_request_looks_automated * */ Either your browser doesn't support unicode and this a browser issue, or you are not refreshing posts before you post in them or something else is going on.

>>9832 I see. I am using Clover on Android, if that helps.

>>9833 It doesn't really help other than indicate that there is a bug in Clover, given that Clover isn't a real browser, but I will see what I can find.

I tried posting a response in humanities during a debate about "extremism on imageboards" and kept getting a message accusing my post of being automated while using Omnichan on my Android phone. I tried to post the same message using the regular website with the DuckDuckGo browser on my phone only to get a message saying "go away spammer." I finally got to post the message using my laptop at home using the same IP address and the same basic message with no big modifications except a couple of grammar corrections. It worked that time. It appears the site is having trouble differentiating an honest post from spammers and automated software.

>>9855 >"Go away, spammer" That one has a specific trigger which is very likely to false-positive in that thread. I'm sure you can figure it out. Whoever made the 'parody of an extremist' post, I have a screenshot and had written a long rebuttal before I read the name field... fuarrrk poes law

someone has been spamming lately, saw some porn on front page.

>>9855 As discussed in >>9837, it is good to know that Omnichan also has the bug that Clover has. Regarding the go away spammer message, that is either triggered by spam, or by certain keywords used by spammers in the past, normally the abbreviation for politics is what triggers it for most non spamming users. >>9856 I will work on some functionality that saves your post, if it failed to post, but until then it is better to save your post in a copy paste buffer or a text file. >>9857 Spam / Raids are not a specific bug that can be fixed. I believe the spam has been deleted now.

fuarrrking hell remove these soykaf features, I'm talking about the "write a longer post" and "body is too shorty or empty" messages. I wanted to tell >>>/inter/4492 that there's >>>/r/23463 but I keep getting these error messages. Besides there are posts which could be replied to with simply "yes/no", not to mention that this kills the point of /test/ because I can't write shorter posts. =/

>>9872 fwiw I really like the idea of people writing long political posts getting an error that forces them to start again from scratch, since it would act as more of a deterrent than if they got the opportunity to make minor edits to try to get the post through.

>>9872 >>9883 Seriously, I shouldn't have to type out a minimum of 92 characters for every fuarrrking post.

>>9889 This was set temporarily to deal with a raid of nonsense posting and spam, it has been lowered.

haha found a bug. Purely cosmetic so not expecting a fix. As of this post, /r/ is up to >>>/r/25081 >>>/r/25082 >>>/r/25083 /λ/ is just ahead of /r/, on >>>/λ/25121 >>>/λ/25122 >>>/λ/25123 So on /mega/ board, the /r/ post thinks the post on /λ/ replied to it (but not vice versa so no functional issue). The referenced post >>>/r/25111 does not exist!

Posting from the Kuroba app is broken.

>>10009 posting from dashchan too, no apps work

>>8416 Your CSS is broken for the "poison" theme. It's pretty easy to replicate. 1. Select poison for Lainchan theme. 2. Go to a board. 3. Go to catalog view. 4. Hover over a thread. 5. Prepare for eye vomit. Pic related. Shame, because this theme is pretty cute.

Would also like to report that the "Post" button in the posting form is visually broken (or rather very ugly) as well. The contrast is so low, it's not visible unless you really knew where to look. Desktop PC, poison theme, Firefox, no theming addons active. Pic related.

>>10111 Pic didn't post for some reason. Anyway, this is the broken hover effect in the poison theme. It must be defaulting to the default CSS or something. You can see hovering over a thread causes it to use Yotsuba B-like styling, which looks pretty bad tbqh with the poison them and renders it nigh unreadable.

>>10113 >>10112 >>10111 This should be fixed now, at least for the poison theme. For the catalogue hover, I will still need to implement overides for the other CSS themes.

>>10114 Awesome. I'll keep hunting CSS bugs. Would also recommend more community events, the poor Lain calendar is kind of dead.

>>10138 Adding - the calendar thing is not a bug, ignore.

A little before 5PM, June 17 there was a thread which wasn't rendered between the first and second pages of >>>/Ω/. I took the following snapshots as quickly as I could. The thread "post and discuss minimalistic alternatives of bloated programs." should be at the top of page 2, or the end of page 1 but is not. Refreshing did not resolve the issue, and it is visible in the following archive links: https://archive.is/tjWTf (page 1) https://archive.is/mswGn (page 2) https://archive.is/RBTdy (catalog)

lainon radio ain't working. I need my bleep bloops.

>>10208 I have also been missing my bleep bloops for several days

Is this a bug or a criminal oversight?

Can't make threads because lainchan recognizes them as spam, is this a ban or just the website fuarrrking up?

>>10344 You're probably triggering the spam filter, switch up your phrasing

>>10344 Same thing happens to me. I've just spent 20 minutes rewriting a comment in another thread, trying to figure out what the hell is triggering it. To be frank I'm on the verge of just giving up and not coming back. Not worth the effort to even try to contribute.

>>8416 BUG 1 (not sure if a bug or if anyone cares): If you delete a comment to refactor something or fix spelling, it still triggers the flood filter. BUG 2: I'm a dumb phone poster and I haven't been able to post from my phone with any App™ since forever. The error is "Error posting: your request looks automated; post discarded".

The request automated post discarded soykaf is annoying as soykaf. Had that happen on phone apps and on pc, on both chrome-based and firefox-based bowsers. And they were long posts, not one liners with a web link or something like that. Ruining it pretty bad for me.

https://lainchan.org/%CE%94/res/7722.html I'm trying to post a pdf, and it's just making empty posts with no file.

>>10714 The empty posts have been removed, but the file still isn't uploading.

Is anyone else having trouble posting books?

>>10719 No.

https://lainchan.org/lit/res/7080.html I tried posting an 8.21 Meg .pdf here and got a "You didn't make a post" message. The other thread was just making empty posts when I tried sharing book files.

>>10722 I accidentally started posting the same file on another thread and it was uploading fine. On the thread in question it doesn't even have the %percentage loaded counter. Is there some kind of block on uploading files to some threads? Like, code meant to stop duplicate files that's stopping re-uploads of deleted or failed uploads?

Despite zero new threads on /lambda/ it displays message about limit of one thread per hour when trying to add new. I consider that to be a bug.

>>10818 Just wait an hour and try again. Someone may have made and deleted a thread for all I currently know.

I tried to post a pdf myself and it was not displayed, only graphic file that I uploaded along the pdf as i was uploading 2 files together in same post

I own a trailcam and Lainchan just refuses to accept files from it. I can post files I've downloaded from other websites or whatever, but with anything from my camera, Lainchan will simply ignore the upload or it will error out and refuse the post entirely, 99% of the time. I tried to mix the files by starting a thread with a file from 4chan and a file from my trailcam. This is that thread - https://www.lainchan.org/vis/res/8878.html When the thread went through, both uploaded, but only the file from 4chan was there and the file from my trailcam just silently failed to show up. Out of all my posts, only twice did it work at all. https://www.lainchan.org/q/res/10828.html

>>10838 HAH! I even tried to upload another photo from my trailcam with THAT post, it uploaded but there's no image attached with that post! I'll try uploading one with this post too. If you don't see one, it didn't work.

>>10839 Wah...? It worked that time? Okay, how about now?

>>10840 Nope, didn't work this time. So, whatever the error is, it seems inconsistent.

Trying to add video on /tech/ it accepts file but no file is diplayed when post is postedd

I still can't post books on the "computer history books" thread. I tried again and it just said "You didn't make a post". I tried again with some text and it said "You didn't make a post". Is anyone still checking this thread? It's been a while since we had any feedback.

I get the "Go away, spammer" screen despite making my first reply in weeks. What about the spam-detection makes my messages look so suspicious?

>>10852 Some words/phrases are derezzed and will trigger that.

Is the computer history books thread blocked from posting books? Is anyone still checking this thread?

Is there any administration left? Is Appleman still here? Are there any moderators? I've been asking about the thread in /lit/ since last year, IS ANYONE STILL RUNNING THIS fuarrrkING BOARD?

>>10893 They still delete my posts about 5G. They're still around.

>>10893 We are still here, no that thread isn't blocked from posting books.

>>10899 Well, the file still isn't uploading. It's a pdf, and under the memory limit. I tried making a couple sentence post with it, in case it was the lower limit on post length that was stopping it, but again, all I got was the "You didn't make a post" message, no error code that I could give you.

>>10902 What browser and what pdf ? I would guess some sort of thumbnailing error, but that shouldn't prevent post submission ?

>>10904 Chrome, and "Retrogame Archeology: Exploring Old Computer Games" by John Aycock. I tried uploading it here, got the same message. I'll try Edge on the thread.

>>10906 Nope, I got the same message.

>>10907 When I tried posting the same file to a new post in /test/ it generates a different error message with a 500 http status code, and the webserver error log says something about post content length being exceeded. I have restored the configuration setting to its former value, so your post should work now, please note that I am still trying to get it to include the file in a thread on /test/ at present, as part of my own testing.

>>10909 This time I got "flood detected, post discarded". Well, at least that's something new.

>>10909 I tried again, it just made an empty post. Should you even be able to make empty posts here? I would have thought you'd run into the minimum length limit.

>>8416 >What did you try to do? Make a post that contained the word 'nigger' >What steps did you take to do that? I wrote a valid post with real content, including the word 'nigger', and pressed the post button. >What did you expect to happen? I expected the post to go up, possibly with a word filter but ideally including the word 'nigger' as I had written it, and to remain up until the thread's eventual demise. >What happened instead? The post appeared in its full glory, inclusive of the word 'nigger'. Some time later, it mysteriously vanished before the demise of the thread. >why do I assume the word 'nigger' to be the source of the problem ? There was at least one other post in the thread, using the word 'nigger' or a variant thereof, which also disappeared. No other posts disappeared to my knowledge.

>>10913 Rule 3 , Rule 4 and Rule 1 Violation. If you break the rules we will delete your post. Do it repeatedly and you'll be derezzed. Not a bug.

>>10914 Dear Appleman, While I appreciate your timely response, I must confess it makes no sense to me. For refference, the thread in question is https://lainchan.org/hum/res/56059.html . I do not know if you can look at deleted posts yourself, but I assure you that the posts I reffer to were in good order with your rules 3, 4, and 1, and all the rest as far as I can tell. >1 If you break the rules we will delete your post. Do it repeatedly and you'll be derezzed. Yes, reasonable. I contend the posts in question were not breaking the rules > 3 Always argue in good faith and avoid using personal attacks. The posts I am reffering to used the word 'nigger' to describe a purely hypothetical person external to the thread, to illustrate an example as part of a good and honest discussion. It was not a personal attack, nor a bad faith argument. No part of the posts fell afoul of this rule. > 4 You should always elaborate on your opinions rather than just spilling the soykaf. Again, the posts in question don't seem to have been 'spilling the soykaf', whatever that means. They were well elaborated and illustrated with examples, in fact the word 'nigger' was used to elaborate in just such a fashion. This rule therefore doesn't apply. In sum, while I do not have the posts in front of me at this time to evaluate line by line against all the rules, I can say with reasonable confidence that they were entierly in harmony with the rules as posted. They were not innane namecalling posts, and they included no elements of namecalling, ad hominem arguments, or any other overly objectionable qualities that I can discern. They were themselves elaborating opinions and were of the same quality as many discussion posts in many threads on this site. Therefore my assumption is that it has to be a bug, in likely one of these areas: >a bug in moderation; a moderator incorrectly applied the rules. >a bug in the listed rules; the posted rules do not correspond to the actual rules. >a bug in the word filter; the word filter was meant to remove the word 'nigger', like it removes several other words. Having failed a moderator made a ham-fisted repair and removed a few otherwise unobjectionable posts. It is also possible but I think unlikely that I've misinterpreted the rules. But if I have I am greatly confused, I've made many posts including recently that are very similar to the ones removed from this thread (with the difference of the word 'nigger', hence my fixation with it for the purposes of this bug report), and these have not been flagged as in violation of any rules, nor removed. Thank you for your attention to this problem, ~a lainon

>>10915 I deleted your Rule 1, Rule 3 and Rule 4 violating posts, after 7 reports via the platform and 3 complaints via IRC. It isn't a bug, your posts were rule breaking, not just because you used a racial slur in bad faith, but because the parts of your posts other than the slur usage failed to elaborate on your opinion and circumstance and consisted of multiple expressions of insult to various types or stereotypes of people in bad faith.

>>10916 So, to be clear, the word 'nigger' is just as permissible here as i.e. the word 'f*ggot', (written thus), or 'cabbage'. The complaint is only (if I recall the posts correctly...) against the suggestion that someone would not want to date a 'fat nigger [female]', without explaining and elaborating that position, and against the post in reply thereto which may have implicitly agreed that that position was reasonable (unless that is, if memory serves, op were himself a 'user'). Is this correct ? If we had asked the poster who made the initial assertion of the unattractiveness of 'fat nigger[s]' to elaborate his position (and received such elaboration, made in good faith), would that have proactively solved this problem, with the result that you wouldn't have needed to intervene ? Thank you kindly for explaining this to me. I have not often gotten posts removed here and I simply saw very little difference between my post here removed and the plenty of other posts I've made, many themselves featuring slurs (made usually in good faith I might add, but you'd have to take my word for it I suppose). I can only see one post of mine which was destroyed (out of two destroyed on that thread), and am a bit concerned you may have taken me for another, err, 'user' shall we say, who also is here on Tor.

This is what happens when you let sealions in your imageboard.

I tried uploading a .pdf file to https://lainchan.org/%CE%94/res/8273 It was "Evasion" from Crimethinc, it's 5.72mb. The previous book uploaded fine, but all I got from the second upload was a blank post, then subsequently a "flood detected, file discarded" message every time I try again. My mouse is a bit janky and double-clicks sometime, but that can't be messing it up every time.

Bug report: TLS/SSL is forced on HTTP connections as well as on the irc. HTTP access should be allowed instead of forcing users to use HTTPS as TLS/SSL is a relatively new protocol and software support is still pretty bad. The security of TLS is also controversial, so it would be better to keep TLS as optional instead of mandatory. (which is the default of most gud websites)

>>10929 This is not a bug. Won't fix.

>>10930 ah shucks. would you be willing to accept a patch or Pull Request to add plaintext http support or is plaintext http out of bounds?

>>10909 Oh my God, it actually worked this time. Thank you. But the Retrogame Archaeology book still isn't loading into the /lit/ thread.

Please fix spam filter rule for "an-al" to allow words like "an-alysis"

>>10964 I finally got that to upload, thank you. I'm still getting a lot of "Flood detected, post discarded" errors, though, how is the filter set to detect floods? I'm generally slow AF.

>Your request looks automated; Post discarded. just put a captcha i can answer in like 2 seconds instead of wasting minutes guessing things with no guarantee anything will work.

>>10931 >or is plaintext http out of bounds? I hope it is. >>10967 This. >>10988 >just put a captcha No fuarrrking don't. If you ever need captcha, at least do not use Goolag or Crimeflare.

One is a bug, the other is just very dumb. 1) Catalog doesn't update on several boards. I order by "Bump order" on /drg/ for example and it'll show a thread on page 9 as being the most recent non-sticky. 2) CTRL+F puts the code tag into the reply window.

>>11001 >2) CTRL+F puts the code tag into the reply window. As a workaround you can use the search/filter function of the catalog.

>What did you try to do? Browse threads >What steps did you take to do that? Click "Next" at the bottom of each page >What did you expect to happen? See all threads >What happened instead? These two threads (maybe more) do not appear while browsing, only in the catalog https://lainchan.org/%CE%A9/res/51018.html https://lainchan.org/%CE%A9/res/54272.html At the bottom of page 3 (as of right now) is https://lainchan.org/%CE%A9/res/60034.html and at the top of page 4 is https://lainchan.org/%CE%A9/res/54691.html

>>11017 maybe more in other places* Between pages 3 and 4 only those two threads are missing

Most of the links on the radio page aren't working. File list and wanting to add bumps. I want to write an send a bump just to freak myself out when I listen to it.

>>8416 irc is down. apparently some certificate has expired.

Can we get updates on the IRC certificate expiration issue, and why it is taking so long to fix?

>>11063 >>11069 run this command on your irc client /set irc.server.lainchan.ssl_verify off

>>11069 >>11063 IRC isn't down. the certificates are fine, they just need to be manually reloaded / hashed into memory from the upto date file on disk, because inspircd automatic rehashing doesn't work. I have run the required /rehash -ssl you can all stop panicking now.

>>8416 >What did you try to do? Create a thread on /Ω/ about sharing Riseup.net invites. >What steps did you take to do that? I filled in the subject field with "Riseup invites thread", and the comment field with the following: "Riseup.net invites thread. Share invites for Riseup.net here. >inb4 riseup.net glows If you have an alternative, feel free to share it." And then added my PGP public key block. I then added the riseup.net logo from their website. >What did you expect to happen? A new thread with all of this information would be created. >What happened instead? I immediately got the message "Stop advertising adult services". For some reason my post went through on the /test/ board (sans PGP Key block), but not on /Ω/.

>>11169 Sounds like something in your PGP key block triggered a body filter for keywords that are being used to prevent porn spam. Either you can provide said key as attachment and have me attempt to find the offending filter and adjust it ? Or you can reach out via IRC, Mumble or Email and do the same thing. Please let me know if you want me to move your /test/ post to /tech/ .

Reporting in, saw some of these aphid bastards on my succulents today. Any tips are greatly appreciated.

>>11253 If its only a few, blast them with water. They will come back though, unfortunately. I'd recommend introducing ladybugs, if you aren't trying to grow for butterfly population increase. Hard alternative, if you don't feel too weird about it, get an unscented, mild dish soap (liquid), mix like 3 or 4 drops in with a few cups of water, and mix in a few dashes of cayenne pepper. Then spray it on the bugs themselves.

Hello, how do I request voice on the IRC?

>>11344 1) If not already done, add a filter for new threads per [x]. I think there's an example one in your config. This makes raids incapable of wiping a board quickly. 2) Work out the damn spam filter. I just sit there for two minutes clicking 'post' until it finally goes through. Do you have a 'one post per minute site wide' filter or what??? It's actually painful to the point I don't bother making posts sometimes.

>>11345 1. We already have that. 2. What you are complaining about isn't a spam filter, it is flood time setting which was increased as a method of preventing raid impact as per your previous suggestion.

why does my post say go away spammer? did i trip something i was just making a normal post

>>11363 Possibly. Post a screenshot of what you wrote. If your post tripped something and it shouldn't have, I'd like to fix that.

>>11364 heres my exact post https://pastebin.com/A62qp6ZP sorry for the late reply i dont check this board often i had to manually edit some of the stuff myself but still no dice

>>11368 It is because you are talking to about that other board on that other site. If you removed your unnecessary first sentence then your post wouldn't have been marked as spam.

>>11369 thank you admin sorry for the furry/lgbt hate inside my comment

>Makes a post. >You didn't make a post. >You didn't make a post. >You didn't make a post. >You didn't make a post.

Why is every other post I make is considered spam? Here is the post I did that was considered spam: https://pastebin.com/Q3Ewa48q PS: even my complain here was considered spam.

>>8416 >What did you try to do? upload 3 images to a single comment on any post >What steps did you take to do that? looking for the missing 2 out of 3 upload buttons, end up trying to upload multiple images using the single upload button that's now available >What did you expect to happen? For multiple images to be uploaded

>>8416 >What did you try to do? Attach image to my post. >What steps did you take to do that? In "Quick Reply" form, selecting image via the "Browse..." button, then posting reply with "Post" button. >What did you expect to happen? Create post with my image attached >What happened instead? Created post without my image attached. For testing purposes, I am now attaching random picture to this post. -------------------------------------------- I also kinda miss the "Update" button in the bottom bar, but I am not sure it qualifies bug or merely missing feature.

>>11429 This was caused by the upgrade to PHP 8.1 , it reverted the post form which didn't render those buttons and also restricted post context size and image upload size. It should be fixed now. https://lainchan.org/test/res/1453.html#q1528 was the testing I did of the fix.

>>11430 This was probably caused by the upgrade to PHP 8.1, your previously attached image was probably too big, which is why the small one you posted in this thread worked without issue. The PHP configuration limitations that made your previous image too big should be unrestricted now.

>>11430 Thank you, good sir. Attaching the previously used image for testing.

The quick report form (don't know the proper term for it) no longer appears when I check a post's checkbox. Steps to recreate: 1. Check the checkbox to the left of a post/threads name/subject. 2. Notice no report or deletion prompt appears. Expected behavior is that the quick report/delete form would appear in the post. Workaround: report posts via the classic form at the bottom of the thread. Since this is a client-side feature, I have confirmed JS is enabled in my browser and some other JS features on lainchan are working properly.

>>11436 This should fixed now, it was caused a by jquery update. Thanks for the report.

What's with the flood detection rules lately? It seems like I can make one post and then have to wait hours before I can make another. Did someone really think this was a good idea? This is not at all how people normally use slow image boards and just makes it extremely frustrating to start writing a response to another post and have to sit on it and come back later to actually post again.

>>11433 >>11432 This has been a longstanding problem for me for maybe half a year or more and I don't think it has anything to do with file size. It's to the point where I don't bother using the Quick Reply interface anymore.

>>10998 >I hope it is. Why do want to disable tech literate people from voluntarily using HTTP and refraining from installing bloated TLS/SSL proxies? Are you opposed to freedom Lain?

Server time is set wrong, post timestamp is around 8 hours in the past.

>>11487 Server time is UTC, not your local time.

>>11488 I know, I mean the UTC timestamp (in the datetime attribute) is wrong. Not sure how recently it changed but it wasn't always like this. (I noticed since I use a custom JS script to display relative time)

>>11489 I believe this should fixed now.

Is IRC actually working ? I tried connect from web abd from an alternative client from android. Either way doesn't work. Anw if it is empty tell me plz , i wouldn:t try anymore. Ty

>>11533 It should work. Are you using tls and port 6697?

https://lainchan.org/r/res/34542.html#34730 e-book files cover image thumbnails are broken. I opened them in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, no difference.

Question. Does the Flood Detected, Post Discarded error appear if you have too many windows on threads open? Is that what is fuarrrking up all my posts? Because I get that message a LOT, but I post pretty slowly.

Does the flood detection just keep rejecting a post indefinitely? How slow do I have to go, and will it always reject a post it's rejected before?

>>11539 This is known issue and is being investigated.

Is it possible to have the filter that rejects post with the word an-al in them make an exception for an-alysis and similar? Change it from just an-al to anal(?!y[sz]) maybe?

Been getting the "go away spammer" bull almost every time i want to post. No controversial or tarded conspiracy things. Really running out of options, feels like being forced to exclusively lurk...

>>11586 This should be in place already using word boundaries.

>>8416 Hello. I'm a big fan of lainchan.org/radio, I used it actively for the last few months. It has seemed to have died or stopped working on web and from other interactions (I.E. playing from terminal with VLC or MPV). The webpage: https://lainon.life/ and radio/* files/directories state that it is dead and likely suffered an internal failure. It has no further information on this. And at least a few weeks ago, the playlist information was inaccessible. If you could publicize the playlist information, if it exists, that would be greatly appreciated. Also the webpage lainchan.org/radio should inform the user, be repaired or be taken down. Unless I've made a gross mistake, thank you very much for the good website and the good radio (while it lasted on your unbacked up hard drive).

>>11590 I just tried posting "cryptan-alysis" (without the "-") and confirmed it is triggering the "go away spammer" filter.

>>11624 As mentioned in >>>/music/10971 believe I have a backup of the original music somewhere. I definitely have a list of the original music. I will look at what I can do to restore lainchan's radio hopefully before 2023/04/20.

>>11629 Thank you weed admin.

Recent posts are not showing up on the home page, or maybe it's slow. Something I just observed.

>>11629 One would think you would have learned to keep backups by now.

>>11733 The radio had been hosted by the same person since before Appleman. You didn't know? lol

Whenever I try to make a long post I am told, "go away, spammer", even when this post is not spam.

>>11766 post a screenshot of what you are trying to write.

is the irc chat broken? every time i try to connect it is like this 19:39 [lainchan] -!- Irssi: Connection to irc.lainchan.org established 19:39 [lainchan] -!- U 19:39 [lainchan] -!- Irssi: Connection lost to irc.lainchan.org idk if the irc is popular because I dont see many complaints, but Im trying to connect for about 3 days and nothing

>>11777 There are no problems with IRC. Are you using port 6697? Are you enabling TLS?

>>11779 >Are you using port 6697? yeah >Are you enabling TLS? how do I know? im using irssi

>>11780 How did you add the server ? Was is similar to the irssi new user's guide https://irssi.org/New-users/ e.g. /network add lainchan /server add -tls -network lainchan irc.lainchan.org 6697 ?

>>11782 oh i just did /connect irc.lainchan.org 6697 Ill try now

Chit is filtered to Soykaf But Chitty is filtered to Soykafty And Chitted is filtered to soykafted I don't know much about coding, but I think the moderator should put a line of code saying >If it says "chitt" filter it to "soykaff" Before the line of code saying >If it says "chit" filter it to "soykaf" PS: I love this site, mr moderator. It has brought me many good times, and sparked my mind into many trains of thought. When a thread I create is removed, I don't get derezzed, which is so refreshing. Usually even one ban is enough to despirit me and encourage me to move on to another imageboard; this policy of being conservative in your banning is what has brought me back to lainchan after each visit to a failed altchan. There is no personal game for my flattery, that's how you know its sincere.

Are there plans to restore April,May,June or all those posts just gone?

>>11818 Posts between 2023-04-20 and 2023-06-11 were not backed up and can not be restored,e.g. they are gone.

>>11819 Unfortunate but ok.

>>11782 TLS certificates expired for your IRC server. Please confirm with logs below.

>>11825 I concur. Looks like it expired today: Valid since Mar 18 01:59:29 2023 GM to Jun 16 01:59:28 2023 GM * * Cipher info: * Version: TLSv1.3, cipher TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 (256 bits) * Connection failed (certificate has expired.? (10))

>>11826 They haven''t expired they just need to manually reloaded from disk to memory (despite have a scheduled task to reload them). I have just manually reloaded them.

>>11827 Appleman, please fix this issue. See, if I say s h i t t y then: soykafty

I would like to request lainchan increase the number of replies in a sticky visible on the index page from 1, to 2 or 3

>>11837 This has been done.

>>11837 Thanks for the quick action!

if you zoom in with browser and click on a post hyperlink, the post is partially obfuscated by the top bar... a little awk. also, (default auto-update threads) seems excessive. for server AND users. didn't even notice for a while.

The spam filter is catching me. I don't know why, I'm writing normally.

>>11885 Post a screenshot as an example the next time it happens.

Posting with Dashchan is being flagged as automated posting, although it definitely is not. I'd like not to use the web when I could. It also says Flood detected on the web, dunno how to post from a single IP now. :(

Why is lainchan running so slow? It feels like my browser is struggling even with js off. Especially with multiple tabs open. Other image boards seem to run fine. Appleman, are running your bitcoin mining scripts on my potato?!

>>11903 Lainchan isn't running slow, if you are having performance issues then HARs would be welcome.

is there some kind of waiting period before my thread is displayed? i tried making one on /music/, then i got the prompt that said there was an error but my post was "probably" still made. i checked the catalog and saw nothing. then when i tried posting again it said i have to wait. so i waited, checked the catalog again - no thread in sight - and i went to post my thread again. now it says duplicate file exists. so where is my thread?

>>11907 Is >>>/music/11440 your thread ?

my posts keep getting flagged as discarded for being automated. I'm on firefox/librewolf

>>11917 same here, palemoon user.

>"write a longer post" >i write a longer post >"write a longer post"

>>11907 The exact same thing happened to me. My thread is this one, but it's not visible from the catalog >>>/music/11507

>>11907 I'm also not seeing my new threads in index/catalog. They exist to some extent: Trying to repost triggers flood control or 8-minute new-thread timer. Rearranging the lines of my post (read -d $'\04' i ; printf "$i\n" | sort -R ) bypasses flood detection but triggers "file already exists". When none of these are triggered (first try or altered images), it says the server took too long to post. My files are JPEGs 228K and 847K. I can see the most recent attempt in Recent Images and Latest Posts. https://lainchan.org/%CE%A9/res/72190.html

>>11942 My most recent attempt is now visible in tech/mega

>>11943 It has apparently been deleted but this should still be investigated as a bug. The thread was not visible immediately following multiple attempts to post and I confirmed I could not see it in the index while it was still visible in recents.

I made this thread: https://www.lainchan.org/drug/res/13919 But it doesn't appear on the catalog or index. And when I try to reply it says to wait longer before making a new thread.

>>11999 It is in the catalog at https://www.lainchan.org/drug/catalog.html it is also in index.

>>12000 I think that only happened after people posted replies and the updating scripts triggered. When I first posted it I got an error message like "destination board is same as source board" or something like that.

I keep trying to make a lengthy post on /hum/, but the board either bugs out or flags it as either flood or an automated request. What's going on?

>>12008 same thing here with /r/. the first time I tried to make a thread some error I forgot what said poped-up and now when I try to post the antiflood blocks it

Every time I try to post I get "flood detected, post discarded". What is the criteria for flood detection? Multiple posts? Too many links? I know Appleman does not believe in transparency, to the extent that he thought it was funny to take the board links away, but this is the kind of frustration that will cause the most well-intentioned poster to give up and go elsewhere.

Does Lainchan use libwebp? You don't need to answer but there was a semi-recent zero day: https://blog.isosceles.com/the-webp-0day/ Just wanted to let you know. There is also a pending curl zero day that's not yet published because of embargo: >>>/sec/22643 >>12000 I'm fairly sure that some threads disappeared from the catalog on also other boards, after the s0yjack spam attack. The posts do remain in the board index. However, I'm not 100% sure whether this is a real bug or if it's only my imagination. >>12013 >What is the criteria for flood detection? >Multiple posts? Yes.

Have been trying to post a million times this year and have been mostly unsuccesful. Either flood or "make a better post" or some other soykaf. No bait or whatever, completely inocuous posts. Everytime it happens i remember why i come less and less here. Feels like an almost empty gallery

wtf is that https://lainchan.org/b/

I was trying to create an OP with this picture on lambda, and I got an error message that I shoulda screencapped, but it said "Target and source board are the same.", which is fuarrrking weird because that only occurs in a mod_move function in lainchan, and I was trying to start a new thread and i'm not a mod.

>>12030 Your post was made correctly at >>>/λ/37553 . I believe the target & source board message is from the bumped thread graveyard functionality I added, where for some reason (possibly a race condition) a bumped thread can't be moved to the graveyard because it already exists. I will continue to investigate.

Banners are broken on Chromium (haven't tested Firefox).

>>12039 This has been fixed.

Are there issues with the IRC? I cannot connect with SASL. I tried different clients and nothing. The error I get is SASL Authentication Failed. Usually it connects right away. I don't know if I screwed something up.

>>12043 IRC should be fine now, there was an issue with the services software due to a disk space issue caused by a backup process taking too much space, but that has been fixed now. Thanks to the lainon that reported the disk space issue on IRC and via email.

>>8416 Are threads from /graveyard/ supposed to show up when browsing /random/ (as in "random - 15 random threads")? I would assume they ended up in /graveyard/ for reason.

When linking to two posts and separating them with a space, the second link doesn't get turned into a hyperlink. Encountered in >>>/sec/22833 and recreated in >>>/test/1605

>>12014 Consecutive posts, or posts within a period of time?

Delete post isn't working. It just says "wrong password".

So if I'm in a thread that's mostly fileshares or informatics, should I wait for someone else to post in between my posts, or should I wait for how long?

Why in the soykaf is it stopping me from posting now? It was five minutes since I posted here, I go to another thread and try to post and it tells me flood detected? How the hell is two posts in five minutes a flood?

Posting about a bug in the word filter. Had to attach it as text to avoid the word filter.

the page where the bans are logged contain the text to the threads that are deleted/resulted in a ban. some of the text contains links to csam, please fix immediately.

>>12083 This should be fixed now.

Can't post a new thread on /lambda/, getting the "Target and source boards are the same" error.

>>12098 Looks like it did post, but Lainchain shat itself to death. So there are 3 copies...

It's been impossible for me to create a thread on /tech/. I got pop-ups complaining about flooding being, cooldowns between posts when my post wasn't even successful, and some other error when trying from Kuroba Ex. What has happened in the past to make posting here such a soykaf experience?

>>12098 You successfully posted 3 threads in lambda. I have deleted the dupes. I am investigating that error message which seems to be due to a race condition due to the additional move other dying threads to graveyard before deletion. It is that move to graveyard that partially fails. Your thread creation is fine. >>12100 You created 2 threads on /tech/ as far as I can see. Kuroba Ex isn't supported by me, but if you provide more information on the issues you are having and don't continue to make threads which are rule violations, then I am happy to help you.

>>12101 >You successfully posted 3 threads in lambda. I have deleted the dupes. Thanks. I suggest you append a note to that error message saying that everything is fine and the thread will probably appear soon; don't remember how much it took for these, but more than a few minutes, possibly hours.

The anti-flooding kicks in like every time I try to post. Like literally 9/10 times it's just "flood detected, post discarded" like can ya fuarrrkin not mate I'm trying to call people gay on the internet. But yeah

I hope this is a bug and not a "feature", but when you click on a link to another reply, the toolbar/flexbar on the top of the page cuts off the top of the post. So if I click on >>11907, for example, the name "Lady Jessica" and all the reply links are blocked by the navbar. It's a minor annoyance that I have to scroll up a little to click one of the replies. You can imagine how that adds up in a large thread where you might be clicking many different posts scattered across the page

Putting sage in the body of a first post will sage the entire thread into oblivion until it's bumped. The board software should make an exception for first posts.

Haven't used Lainchan in a year or more, now whenever I try to open it from the same IP and PC I'd always used before (located in Bulgaria), I get an "Unable to connect" error. What's going on? Did the entire IP range get blocked due to spam or smth? Using Tor to post now. Here's an example of one of my old threads: >>>/vis/3996

>>12167 Though then again, it might not actually be the same IP - I haven't been tracking my IP addresses over the years, but IIRC my ISP/router assigns dynamic ones. And now that I think about it, that thread is from 5 years ago, and I think I actually switched ISPs during that period as well.

Trying to post a new thread on /Ω/ and get this. (Trying to make this post I got blocked for flooding)

>>12170 Now it says this. The link goes to my post but it doesn't show up on the front page.

>>12170 As mentioned earlier if you see this, your post went through fine, what this error is complaining about is that the post your post bumped off the board has already been moved to graveyard. I am still trying to debug this race condition.

>>12171 Got the same thing and my thread is nowhere to be found, oh well. Also, it took me two tries to post this replay, because: > Flood detected; Post discarded. And I tried only 3 times to post in total.

>>12175 I believe this bug has been fixed now.

I don't know where I should report this but there is cp in the zzz board, damn it.

>>12168 Oddly, I can view the site from my android phone (same network), but from none of my desktop browsers. Clearing cookies and changing user agents doesn't work either.

>>12258 You can help here, if you like: https://lainchan.org/q/res/12273.html

In the catalog page of /tech/, When i click watchlist nothing happens. Looking at the js code in thread-watcher.js:168 the event handler try to toggle the css property display between none and block of the html element with id watchlist. But there is no tag with id watchlist, thus $('#watchlist') returns null.

>>8416 Illegal soykaf in the /random/ catalog, please report it.

I got the "go away, spammer" message trying to make a nice photography thread on /vis/. Why is that?

Site's unusable, getting "go away spammer" when trying to reply to a thread

>>12505 This happened also when I tried posting xj9k's reports of the 'TAKE ACTION' spammer here, making the link unsusable.

Guys do you throttle VPNs? Using mullvad and bandwidth feels very low. Other sites are OK it seems.

irc is dead X_X both on my client and web, something about the certificate

>>12913 Try now, it should be fixed.

>>12505 >go away spamme There's one or more words in your post that is triggering the hidden word filter.

Hey, what happened to this thread in /hum/? https://www.lainchan.org/hum/res/85506.html it was fine just yesterday, left the tab open to continue reading today and it was gone D:

>>12964 Deleted for Rule 3 and Rule 4 violations OP stated I don't wish to incite argument , but the result thread and replies incited argument, and I was going to leave the thread and only handle the offending replies but after reviewing all the arguing replies about the definition of facism and calling A or B a facist , it was less time consuming just to delete the entire thread for Rule violations.

>>12964 >>12965 I had a similar experience in https://lainchan.org/q/res/12915.html where, after I asked a few questions to mods, the thread linked also was deleted due to Rule 4 and Rule 7 breaching a day after. >>12936 I had the a couple of word filter issues when it came to blacklisted words! One of the errors was "do not say s--ll", while "go away, sp-mmer" was getting too common it wouldn't let me post... anyways, is there by any chance you can attach an image of every blacklisted word that Lainchan doesn't accept?

>>12965 But you won't tell us what words, will you? And I'm the spammer now? For complaining that the self-defence thread is just a pile of soykaf with people arguing over Israel and Palistine since the second post? But I'm the fuarrrking spammer now? And you won't tell us the words because you think it's funny? You think you're funny? fuarrrking with us?

Was trying to post with a picture. Kept getting error "Exploiting MIME Sniffing XSS" something somethng somehing "ERROR". What the hell is that? Picture was random off another board. Probably gonna blackpill me on jpg viruses. Please don't, but please do.

>>12981 I need more information but the error you mention is caused by the anti IE mime sniffing check from https://github.com/lainchan/lainchan/blob/main/post.php#L916 >>12975 It wasn't specific words, but behaviour that resulted in the thread being deleted. >>12966 If I did that then people would just spam CP that doesn't trigger the existing filters, so I can't a full list of the filters in place. If you seriously have trouble posting about a particular topic and need the filters adjjusted to handle your use case and that use case isn't spam, then feel free to reach out either in a /q/ thread or email or IRC or Mumble, and I can see which filters whatever you are trying to post is triggering and whether they need to be adjusted.

>>12975 I believe it's actually a list that I thought you could've provided us with for the future, not a bunch of jokes. I'm not that active here and the gap between posting a reply after posting a reply is so long that "spam" isn't a word I would use. >>12983 Thanks. I actually checked Options but there's no settings for toggling a filter for blacklisted words either. Anyways, why the need for IRC or Mumble if not just GitHub? You are awesome as always :)

Tried to post an image from remote but I got a "MIME type detection XSS exploit (IE) detected; post discarded" error. What's up with that?

>>8416 Search page specified in the FAQ might be broken. I've tried a few common keywords and for each and everyone the result is "0 results"...

>>13012 Need more information, it works in my testing.

>>13026 Ah, it works when i select the board from the dropdown (instead of using it like search=foo&board=none ). Buut I have to know in advance the board name AND guess if I want to do a wholesite search for a term there is no way to do it through the search mechanism provided.

First let me say the radio channel here is great! I may be missing something as I am a bit new but the radio links to files gives a 404 error, and the m3u link is just a blank page. Am I just doing something wrong? I just clicked the links, expected a list of files or the like. Instead errors. I'm on Chrome if that helps.

>>13079 The links on the page haven't been updated yet, because the Radio hasn't been fully restored. Previously it had 4 choosable channels , all with different links, currently just the main channel works and it only plays a subset of the playlist it used to. For a valid playlist link try https://radio.lainchan.org/public/lainchan_radio_main/playlist.pls .

excellent, thank you, just knowing the song thats playing currently is great and this helps.

Hi. I tried three times to do pic-related upload to Lit/S-H-A-R-E (https://lainchan.org/lit/res/4953.html). Total size of all three books is only 9.4 MB. My upstream bandwidth indicatore showed about the right amount of activity. Then I waited a long yime and nothing ever happened.

Yeah I don't know what's happening here. Channels red, most stuff isn't clickable. Is it just me?

why does the site think I'm a spammer?

>>8416 Wanted to make a post earlier. Had a few paragraphs. Received the following error: >Your request looks automated; Post discarded. Always a shame to see blackbox errors where you have no idea what you're doing wrong. Probably going to happen again now, but here goes.

>>13178 Ok, managed to post a post, but the following 2 got 'flood detected'. The dice roll nature of posting for me means it's worthless putting effort into posts now, especially given you lose the post after the error and can't go back to it. Was wondering: >are there rate limits on posting? >derezzed word lists? >do you need to browser fingerprints maxxxed out to post? >are certain nations 2nd class citizens here? (i.e. PL)

>>13179 >are there rate limits on posting? someone else must post before you can post a second time, but you do not need to wait 10 minutes to post. so, try to think out your responses >derezzed word lists? >do you need to browser fingerprints maxxxed out to post? no. but I believe tor / vpn cannot post images >are certain nations 2nd class citizens here? (i.e. PL) no, but the mods are only native English speakers except for /layer/, which has Russian. unless something has changed over the years

>>13136 This has been fixed. The connectivity from the web client was blocked by a ban caused by someone using the web client to troll, it should work now.

>>13143 Need more information about your post, in order to identify why you tripped the spam filter.

>>13179 >>13178 Your request looks automated / post discarded is the default floodcheck / spam filter for tinyboard / vichan / Lainchan, see https://github.com/lainchan/lainchan/blob/main/inc/config.php#L226 or the archive page for tinyboard for more information. But refreshing browser tabs before posting is one way to fix the issue. Yes there are rate limits on posting all boards except lambda allow a new thread each 8 minutes, lambda allows a new thread each 4 hours. Yes we have word lists that result in post not being made., these exist to prevent spam, other language enhancers allow posts to be made but improve the language choice used in them. As far as I know tor and vpn can post images. Other nationalities are not second class citizens here, but making dedicated non english threads outside of layer or other hidden boards is generally a cause for Rule 4 violation, if there isn't sufficient english in order for moderators to moderate it. Additionally making regional specific threads whilst pretending that the regional issue is a global issue is often considered a Rule 4 violation due to lack of clarification / specficity or lack of elaboration.

>>13221 Im a different Lain and I wasnt able to make a thread in /sec/ despite a complete lack of meme words and buzz words or curse words or anything and I never used 4Chan so their language patterns sure didnt rub off on me. I have no idea what words are stopping it from posting and it is pissing me off. This has happened more than once where I have to guess what words might be triggering the filter and edit the post as much as 20 times before I get it right.

>>13221 >>13371 After hundreds of edits still not posting I am convinced Lainchan has worse automation than major social media platforms even.

>>13372 Sorry but without more information it is difficult to help you.

>>13373 I will just take a screenshot of what I wrote after I had to bastardize the phrasing that wasnt enough to make it pass. I don't know why this isnt allowed. Too many question marks? I dont know.

Hey mods, last year I found a 'hide image' button on posts that toggles the visibility of images on and off. This was very strange because I used an imageboard that had this feature implemented. Posts that contain images attached to a post show "ImgOps iqdb" links. Briefly, this only showed a hide button/link briefly, and would make the image transparent. While I can't provide images, to show proof, I have an image attached for demonstration. I don't know how that happened, so could you by any chance look into it? Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but the /psy/ and /cult/ overboards list every single stickied thread at the top unlike /mega/ which does not list stickies. its unintuitive and makes them borderline unusable - can you remove stickies from /psy/ and /cult/?

New thread was refused because I was advertising 'adult services'...

>>13401 So I got it to work I removed the 'getting his ass kicked' first, but that didn't help. Then I removed part of the link, the question mark onwards, and that actually worked. What kind of filter is that?

Did a couple days of post history just get wiped? This is unbelievable. Why should I post here if it gets wiped anyway.

>>13443 I have a script that submits pages I visit to wayback machine and enable it on this site for that very reason, consistently and without explanation losing threads and posts I either put effort into myself or considered valuable. So they blocked archive.org and continued the behavior. Not unabated perhaps, I haven't seen anything so egregious recently, but nonetheless there is no feeling of security or permanence in my posts or threads here. Which for such a slow site is completely unacceptable. Moderation has done zero to communicate on it either, so I really have no idea. have to just wget threads you care about.

>>13397 I was exploring my hard drive for images of the 'hide button' but to no avail so far. I'll update you on finding it though!

>>13487 So, mods, have you found a feature a 'hide image' button on posts that toggles the visibility of images on and off? This was strange, considering I've used an imageboard that has the '(hide)' feature for images and works wonders for me. Last year (14.5.2024), there was a 'hide image' toggle, but it made the images somewhat a tiny bit visible, unlike the other imageboard I've used, which flat-out disables viewing the images (and there's a toggle for each image in the post body). Image related for proof of the 'hide image' thingy.

Another bug I've found is that https://lainchan.org/q/res/10479.html is present in the catalog but hasn't been removed, why is this? https://lainchan.org/r/catalog.html works as intended, removing threads to clean up space, but https://lainchan.org/q/catalog.html because https://lainchan.org/q/res/10479.html is still present in the catalog memory and hasn't been cleaned up for ages (even if web.archive.org backed up copies of old, deleted threads). Could anybody look into this problem for me please? Thanks in advance.

Am I able to ask what causes 'Go away, spammer'? Is it just because I posted recently? I don't have any links or anything. Can it happen if you use too many newlines? or repeat words too many times?

Hi guys, anything going on with the IRC? I've been trying to connect for the past couple of days both from a client and from the web UI and I keep getting the following error: `Connection failure: SSLHandshake failed: -9805` Sometimes it would go through but would immediately throw a "You are derezzed" message. Are some regions geolocked? This IRC was one of my favorite places to visit on my down time. It would be a bummer if I really was derezzed for some reason

Mumble server not working? The voice chanels all tell me I am denied from joining

Idk why but I keep getting 'your request looks automated. Post discarded' when posting normal posts. I've tried updating the post in a bunch of ways but the content of the post doesn't seem to be the actual issue. This was happening when responding in /frengen/ in /hum/, which I don't post in often.

>>13567 I was really surprised to see that it allowed me to post this, actually. I have no idea what the criteria are for these rejections. Edit: now when following up to my own post it says 'flood detected'. IMO it should be possible to post and follow up on your own post shortly after. That's a pretty common form of posting.

>>8416 Hi guys, I'm trying to post from Dillo but the board thinks i'm a bot ("Your request looks automated; Post discarded.") I'm using the default config from the most recent version, not sure if there's an issue with the user agent or the referer or cookies or whatever. I can post fine from w3m or retawq which are even more stripped down text-based browsers. I looked at the spam filters from the github but i really can't figure out the issue. Can someone help me out?

>>13522 >>13547 both are still down, and have been for a real long time... will this get fixed?

The catalog view is broken. On /mega/: >last-modified: Thu, 05 Feb 2026 14:26:59 GMT

A week of the catalog views being broken. Fix it already.

I keep trying to post on the book request thread, I converted the webm image to .png so that shouldn't be a problem, Now it just says "You didn't make a post", when I try to post.

IRC and Mumble are dead, also lainchan can seemingly only be accessed through TOR, clearnet connections just don't work
