This is the central bugs thread. 

If you noticed problems, please add a post to this thread and tag it with #bug. (hashtag bug) 

Please only post one problem per post. I intend to use them as a TODO list. As I fix them, I'll untag the bug and replace it with #bug_fixed. 

To help me out, when providing information about a problem please include:

1. what browser you are using. e.g. Chrome, Safari, MSIE, FireFox, etc. If you are tech savvy check the Javascript Error Console and see if there is anything listed in the ERROR tab.

2. what operating system you are running under e.g. Windows, Linux, MacOSX

3. steps required to reproduce the problem. 

4, If you were given a "formVIsta' error please jot down the error number so I can look it up in the logs.

Second Bug:

Adding photo inline into reply on bug thread threw a bug. #bug

FormVista Error: formVista ERROR #31209:We are sorry but that has been a system error. {"files":[{ "error":"", "name":"", "size":"", "url": "", "thumbnail_url": "", "delete_url": "", "delete_type": "DELETE" }]}

When I click on the notifications character by my avatar, I get an ordered list of notifications, but the text doesn't fit in the boxes quite right. Also, once I click on the notifications character, I can't get back to it (the notifications listing) until I get new notifications.This is in firefox 19/win xp. #bug

What browser?

firefox 19, winxp.  To reproduce, click on the notifications character next to your avatar.

Can't turn "watch" on on the photos page.Firefox 19.02, win xp. #bug

When putting quotes in the title of a photo for upload, I got this error:
Error SyntaxError: JSON.parse: expected ',' or '}' after property value in objectand the upload failed. When I escaped the quotes with backslashes, the upload worked.firefox 19.02, winXP. #bug

doh. At least I know what's causing that one.

Don't forget to tag bug reports with a # followed by bug. That way I can search for all bugs and keep track of them.

(To see all bug reports filed you can just click on one of the #bug's in any post or search for # bug in the search bar. 

I had expected the bugs I put in to be taged with "bug" when hashtagging them, but they didn't. "hashtag bug" did not work. Using Chrome on Win7 on another machine, #bug now seems to work. 

add rich_textarea support in photo descriptions so we can hashtag and @mention there as well. #bug #featurerequest 

When uploading several photos at one time, the first photo label and description are used for ALL of the photos uploaded, ignoring titles and descriptions provided for the rest of the pictures. #bug

Oops. Good find.

Yermo,

In addition to the bug I mentioned to you prior (carriage returns missing using Firefox), found a new one - can't log in using IE9. #bug


IE9 - 9.0.8112.16421
Update versions: 9.0.14 (KB28909289)
Windows 7 Professional.

Attempted to log in using e-mail address and password using the top right "login" hyperlink... nothing happens. Password vanishes and the dialog (login prompt) remains there.

- Gabe

EDIT UPDATE: For the IE9 bug - upon clicking elsewhere, it looks like a login was successful even though the dialog did not go anywhere. I appear to be logged in.

Another IE9 #bug that may or may not be related to the prior one I posted.




The dialog window for editing a forum post of mine does not
vanish or update the window. However upon X'ing or cancling the dialog window out, if I refresh (reload) IE9 for that page I can see the update took. Sounds similar to the prior bug to me.

Sorry dude, found 3 more bugs.

Bug 1: #bug


The post dialog editor behavior is inconsistent using carriage returns and backspaces. I've been able to replicate the behavior on Windows 7 Pro. using:

IE9 - 9.0.8112.16421
Update versions: 9.0.14 (KB28909289)

Chrome Version 25.0.1364.172 m

Carriage returns often double-space... multiple backspaces (sometimes no amount of backspaces) will go back to the line above. However this works just fine in Firefox 19.0.2.



Bug 2: #bug

The arrow keys for navigating the cursor for IE9 and Chrome (versions above) work properly. However in Firefox 19.0.2 when entering text in the dialog box, the cursor keys do not function... it's like the OLD days where you had to find a way to move the cursor creatively (cringe). Should be easy to replicate using the description.


Bug 3: #bug

Upon deleting the Bug Hashtag at the very top of this forum post, it apparently center-spaced the text (no clue how, maybe there is a "center" keyboard shortcut I hit? Using Chrome Version 25.0.1364.172 m. Tried to replicate this behavior but unable to do so.

- Gabe

Okay, I was in the midst of posting a last bug... and I hit another bug.

Bug A: #bug
Notification text overlaps for 2 or more notifications at the top... it's like the HTML positioning is off... using Firefox 19.0.2 on Win7 pro... (couldn't retest using other browsers due to no new notifications).

Bug B: #bug
Upon submitting the above text apparently maybe something new (some type of ASCII text) was introduced? It was something I was unaware of so I don't know if you have the ability to view failed attempts at posting, but the attempt didn't take and instead I got a message in red font using Chrome Version 25.0.1364.172 m that said:


An error has occurred.

Tags may only include numbers and letters.

There has been a validation error.


- Gabe

Press F12. Let me know if you are in IE9 Compatibility mode.

Photos were sending notifications out to anyone who had posted photos to the album regardless of the preference setting. This should be fixed now. #bug_fixed
