🐜 On-Going Forum Bug (Bertie)

Fowllyd · 18 February 2019 18:32

Don’t want to jinx anything, but I think it’s gone. I’ve been viewing a few threads while posts have been made in others (which, as I mentioned above, appeared to be the trigger); but at no point has the screen been truncated. Hurrah for Balti Stench!

Binary chop now needed @saintbletch

I miss the lovely little bug.

(Sob!)

tigger · 18 February 2019 19:26

Poor homeless little bug

saintbletch · 18 February 2019 19:54

Yeah, that was the approach I took to get here.

I’m going to leave it a little longer to be sure - to be sure.

Little Buggy was a very fine bug, and I can understand your sorrow. But a time must come for all bugs*, and so it was for poor Buggy.

*This clearly doesn’t apply to bugs that inhabit Microsoft operating systems and software. They can often live forever.

saintbletch · 18 February 2019 20:38

Point of order.

‘Buggy’ MIGHT have been found but he isn’t dead yet, I’ve simply removed the food he likes so now he’s lying dormant…oh whatever, grow the fuck up the pair of you!

Lets-B-Drinking · 18 February 2019 20:38

But what if the bug had just given birth? Couldn’t we find it in our hearts to let them back?

saintbletch · 19 February 2019 07:09

OK, I think the bug disappeared with my last culling so I’ll now add half of the removed plugins back in.

Putting back

Etiquette
Discourse Legal Tools
ImgFlip (memes)

The latter being added back so @Map-Of-Tasmania can share the hilarious meme from last night.

If I was a betting man, I’d say that one of these will bring the bug back. We’ll see.

Fucker won’t work on safari… (posh rich fucker Powerbook init)

saintbletch · 19 February 2019 08:44

What won’t work, map?

Map-Of-Tasmania · 19 February 2019 08:47

When I try to insert my huge meme into your forum space, it clams up, as if frightened of the sensation(s) it would cause…

saintbletch · 19 February 2019 08:48

Interesting.

I’ll take a look.

saintbletch · 19 February 2019 09:08

That is indeed broken. A different issue though. Thx.

tigger · 19 February 2019 09:15

Does this mean we have more than one bug? Are they breeding?

Map-Of-Tasmania · 19 February 2019 09:17

Please do, I have my huge meme to insert

It’s the mother of all bugs

saintbletch · 19 February 2019 10:08

Well, I’ve reported the Meme Generator (ImgFlip) bug - it’s reproducible in the “author’s sandbox” (two words that won’t mean much to non-Geeks) which means they can see what is going on. Our original bug is still at large.

As a special treat to you @Map-Of-Tasmania, I’ve got a great new ReplyGif plugin to try while we wait for the Meme Generator bug to be fixed.*

I thought that would make you happy…

What’s that, you couldn’t give a shit?

* the only issue is that software quality assurance rule #82.1J states that whilst controlling all variables in the environment to track down a bug, don’t introduce another one. So I’m loath to add it until I’ve tracked down the source of the original bug.
