Meta [Bug reports/Site updates]

[rena]

tentatively (unless other admins have extra input) tweaked the shoutbox rules a bit since tbh I didn't realise there was both a limit on how long you could edit a post for plus an infinite multi-post limit, lol:

• allow deletion (same time limit as editing)
• allow multiple posts in a row up to a limit (forgot exactly what I set but it can be tweaked)
• add a 120 second post timer (we'll see if that's low enough)

I do still recommend taking discussions into threads when they start developing, but we'll see how this goes

I've had talkhaus randomly download files a couple of times recently when loading pages (or clicking the links to those pages, I guess). They have short nonsense names and are zero bytes large, so I'm not sure what that's about, I've just deleted them. On the Discord, Koba also mentioned something similar happening (but a download prompt instead, I believe, probably because of a difference in OS and/or browser). It might be something to be concerned about?

hmm dunno about that I'll keep an eye out though

It doesn't seem to be happening any more, so I guess it fixed itself or something.

Seems it started happening again for some people, see shoutbox:

I didn't experience it this time though. I even tested it by reloading the main page by clicking the logo link a bunch of times and got nothing. That test was right now though, not yesterday, so it might be time-sensitive.

oh i dunno, if somebody can find a way to reproduce it or go on F12 (nework tab, but it might have to be open when it happens) and find out what url it came from it might help but I can't do much without a bit more information

It just happened again, and I thought to try googling around to see if this is happening to others on other websites.



Can't find it again but one result mentioned UBlock Origin, which I have installed, and



But another result mentioned checking the download history, and



So on top of monitoring the network tab, it's probably worth checking,
- What browsers are other members affected by this using?
- What adblocker, if any, is everyone affected using?
- Could there be some aspect of the website's certification or something that either the browser or the plugin don't know how to handle?

I do use Firefox and have uBlock Origin enabled.

It's only happened to me here and on backloggery. I am using Firefox and uBlock origin

"This can be caused by downloading a file over an insecure HTTP link from a secure HTTPS page (i.e.there is mixed content on the page).

You can try to modify this pref on the about:config page to see if that has effect.

about:config => dom.security.https_only_mode_send_http_background_request = false "
