Any bugs or glitches?

Weird glitch on mobile where if you hit the save character button or post reply button several times, it posts it several times. Could you try to fix that?

@jackelope12 That'll happen on mobile and desktop if you hit the button multiple times. The "fix" would be to disable the button after the first time people hit it so it can't be hit again, but it's purposefully enabled just in case someone has a bad connection and actually needs to hit it multiple times (if the first request failed, for example, it'd suck to have a page open that you spent time on but can't save because the button is disabled).

I'm having trouble creating a new discussion. I'm able to enter a title, but I don't get the box to write the first post.

@SupernaturalSyGuyShipsWale This box? It should appear as soon as you click into the Title box.

What do you see instead? What browser are you using?

Yes, that box…. It simply doesn't appear at times, and I use chrome on my phone.

Interesting. What phone do you have? Does it show up if you tap the title field another time (or a few other times), or do you have to refresh for it to show up?

@SupernaturalSyGuyShipsWale I actually have that problem too! On my phone with Firefox. You can fix it by clicking on another part of the screen, then on the title again, and then you'll get the contents section

The new Notifications thing, every time I try to view a notification, it crashes. However, it marks the notification as read, even though I didn’t even come close to reading it.

The notification bell isn't letting me get into my PM's.

Is it from a phone? If so, try turning it. I’ve had the same problem

@honk When it crashes, are you getting the full error 500 page? I'll look into that!

@Ich-ein-Hades Is it not letting you get into your PMs because the UI is overlapping somewhere? Would you mind sending a screenshot if so, and letting me know what phone you're using so I can test with it?

No, it’s just crashing the entire application. I’m on an iPad in Chrome.

Interesting. Just to clarify, when you click a notification, Chrome itself just straight-up closes itself? I'll have to dig in and figure out why so I can fix it, so thanks for the clarification!

For what it's worth, the notification about notifications links to this blog post about it.

Yep, and whenever I reopen Chrome, it says it didn’t shut down correctly. It might be the blog link, and my iPad is blocking me from going to it, but otherwise I’m not quite sure what it could be.

I sent it in a pm, but I'm slowly realising that was a mistake. Resending it here. 💀

It's like that on my phone as well.

Same here

Me too

Thanks, I'll get it sorted out ASAP for tonight's release.

Thank you. You're the best andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)!

The navbar on small mobile screens should be better now.

Not sure yet what's causing Chrome to crash, but still digging in.

Thank you so much for jumping right on this issue, andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer). We really do appreciate your diligence in keeping this site functionally working for everyone.
