What are /r/bugs' favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Yeah that's true. powerlanguage suggested the rosette icon from famfamfam for set contest mode and no icon for unset. If you want to fix this, I can look at it (just :eyeglasses: me on the pull request) :) Or we'll add it to the backlog. Thanks!

Open your developer pane (press f12) and in the console make sure "Security" is activated.

You will get a message like:

"Une demande multi-origines (Cross-Origin Request) a été bloquée : la politique « Same Origin » ne permet pas de consulter la ressource distante située sur https://ssl.reddit.com/api/login/InLoveWithKueppers. Ceci peut être corrigé en déplaçant la ressource sur le même domaine ou en activant CORS." ... just in English.

It's a problem with cross domains. HTTPS rewrites all reddit URLs to "pay.reddit.com" and the login form seems to be in the "ssl.reddit.com" domain. Cross-Origin Requests aren't permissible by firefox and bam - error message.

Picture coming (but it's in French).

How long has this been happening for you?

Can you try flushing your DNS cache and see if that fixes it? Our domain for static content got redirected directly to our file storage provider's servers for a brief period a week ago, but it had issues with HTTPS. You might just need to flush the old server out of your DNS cache.

After that, try flushing Chrome's internal DNS cache.

It's a known bug where a single reddit gets much more weighting than others. It should fix itself after a little while (< 30 min). Let me check if it's in the new Github bug tracker.

EDIT: Now submitted as Issue #72.

> Hmm set suggested sort doesn't show an icon in the mod log so it might be ok to include without an icon. /u/powerlanguage - thoughts?

Looks like that and setpermissions don't have any icons. Shouldn't be that hard to fix. I'll do it.

EDIT: setpermissions is easy enough (just edit the pencil onto the shield icon), but I'm not sure what to do for suggested sort. Currently considering arrow switch, but I don't know for sure. Thoughts?

It has nothing to do with cookies. Generally speaking it's considered a feature, as when we hint to browsers that they should reload the page people lose their scroll position and all sorts of other things.

There are some workarounds, depending on your browser, but be aware they'll have a negative performance impact on your browsing.

The best method is probably to start opening up threads in new tabs, rather than using the back button to get back to the listing. If you don't like middle-clicking or ctrl-clicking, there's a preference on reddit to do this automatically for you ("open links in a new window").

Yeah you're right. I have been frustrated by reddit search so many times over the years (reddit user since 2006 - not on this account), but I haven't given much thought as to how it might be fixed. After thinking about it for a few days and getting scolded by /r/Kaibakura I realize it's a much bigger problem than simply "make it work better."

Excuse my ignorance, but could reddit build on Apache Solr and end up with better search without spending years of development on the project? DuckDuckGo uses Solr and it somehow finds the correct page when I search &quot;what will never stop being funny reddit&quot;. I have no idea if this is something they've customized Solr to do or if it is somehow built it.

Thanks for the report. We're working on updating the CSS validator to support a more modern ruleset. There's currently code in the review pipe that should take care of this.

Thanks for reporting this. We will investigate!

~~~In the future, could you please post similar issues to our bug tracker on GitHub?~~~

Edit: my bad; spladug was right -- this was a fine place to post this -- sorry for the confusion. cheerio!

Google Reader has never played well with reddit (dunno if it was reddits side or googles) and considering it's soon to be no more I doubt that's something that will be fixed.

Might be time to find a new reader. :/

I can confirm that https://www.reddit.com/saved/.rss does not contain any entries, either.

Strangely enough, clicking on that link redirects to https://ssl.reddit.com/login.rss?dest=/saved/.rss (I didn't even know there was an "ssl.reddit.com").

So this comment is a month old but no further updates. Is that the way the Reddit bugtracker functions?

https://www.reddit.com/gold?goldtype=creddits

That's not actually a translation error; Reddit gold uses "creddits" to refer to 1-month chunks of reddit gold that you can give out to other people. It's a play on the word "credit", of course, but also on the name "reddit".

If anything, I think the error would be writing it as "12 crédits" instead of "12 creddits" in the dropdown menu.

Anyway, translation errors should be reported on reddit's crowdin page.

The subreddit for that is /r/i18n. There you will get a link to reddit's cowdin site where you can translate your marry way. Somehow though, there are like people (redditors) that have the final say on translations (And there's an admin that implements those changes, which might also take time. So the correct translation might already have been submitted.), or something...I actually don't get the system. I did some translations myself, I'm not sure they were ever let through.

you should check your computer for malware (try running AdwCleaner in addition to a scan). these websites aren't anything that reddit uses if I recall correctly.

> Should I not use uBlock anymore?

Do you have the &quot;no popups&quot; switch set for Reddit? If yes, this might be the cause of your issue. If not, use the logger to find out what filter is causing the new tab to be closed -- select the All entry in the selector in the logger.

I didn't have an earlier version installed. I installed from the link above:
https://greasyfork.org/scripts/1501-reddit-reveal

I made sure RedditReveal was enabled before I installed. I've restarted Firefox, cleared my cache etc.

Edit: I should add (sorry) that I have the Reddit preference selected for "load core JS libraries from reddit servers." I don't know if that makes a difference.

I have no idea whether this is an intentional change or anything like that, but what you've outlined is a textbook example of using a feature completely contrary to how it's intended.

Upvoting should be used to indicate that you've already viewed something, and thought it was good/useful/etc. If I take your post to mean that you upvote things that you've read but want to check up on again later, that's better, but still, whether or not a thread might be interesting after some time has passed should be irrelevant to whether you upvote it. Votes are a fundamental part of reddit and how we order links, so if you're voting based on some other criteria, you're actively undermining the function of the site and working against our ability to show you things you want to see (even if unintentionally).

What you've described is a desire to use a bookmarking system. There's one built in to reddit, there are implementations in all modern browsers, but I personally really love https://pinboard.in : it's searchable and taggable, it keeps archived copies for me of the sites I save, it has good integration across platforms, and it even has a dedicated "unread" field that makes it easy to separate "I want to keep this forever" from "this was something I wanted to check out later". But it doesn't matter which of those you choose; they're all vastly better suited to your needs than the upvote system.

> sometimes use reddit through a VPN (Private Internet Access)

That's probably why. My understanding is that reddit automatically flags IPs for malicious activity and makes everyone on that IP reset their password.

I didn't know about that feature. Thanks. Wow, there were a few accesses from some random locations:

173.245.203.138 Firefox 57.0 Windows 10 United States 14 hours ago IPVanish

67.214.238.107 Firefox 57.0 Windows 10 United States 14 hours ago Off Campus Telecommunications

107.152.247.15 Chrome 63.0.3239.84 Windows 10 United States 15 hours ago B2 Net Solutions

209.107.210.197 Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 Windows 7 United States 17 hours ago IPVanish

173.239.236.101 Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 Windows XP United States 1 day ago Choopa, LLC

Why would anyone hack my account for the sake of one pointless comment.

I use the same username and password on a lot of sites that have no money involved, so it could have been someone who runs/has access to those sites. Changed password.

Also have the same issue since 2 or 3 days ago. I can't reach reddit from home or work, but I can on mobile. Changing dns didn't help, but using Zenmate works. And this is the link it redirects:

I also remember it happened in a second, I mean I was surfing reddit and the next link I clicked redirected me to the link above.

Same here, having a VPN on my phone seems to prevent me from doing a lot of basic things. It's gotten to the point that anytime I can't do anything I instantly turn my vpn off. Works 90% of the time. I've had similar issues with NordVPN and Adult Blocker.

then type the package name and hopefully someone has solution

Reddit is resetting many accounts because many users used weak or reused passwords from other breaches. Someone was trying to login to many accounts using these breached passwords and your password was one of them.

Stop using weak or reusing passwords. Get yourself a password manager and give every account a unique password. Write down your master password to your password manager and keep it safe as there is no reset option. You can also check out https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to see what KNOWN breaches you're in.

Google sends mobile devices to mobile versions of websites when at all possible (and punishes websites for not having mobile versions). If you don't like this behavior, you should complain to Google or switch to a different search engine.

However, the desktop site is not at all optimized for mobile devices, whereas the mobile site was designed from the start with that in mind.

The switch to the Google CDN for jQuery happened on May 10th, which doesn't fit the timeline you're reporting. In fact, there haven't been many changes to the javascript at all in at least two weeks. Have you changed anything on your end? Perhaps installing RES or something similar?

Thanks for the report. This is likely due to a change made today. I've opened a ticket on GitHub.

The reason for the POSTs should be clear after reading the changelog entry; changing your sort makes modifications to your server-side state so it should be a POST, though it occurs to me that we should probably be using GET menus in the places where we don't store preferences.

Sorry for being a bit slow to respond, but I had this problem and made a post about it roughly a month ago. Spladug looked into it and it is now recognized as an actual bug.

Ouch, that's a no-good bug. Looks like we're using non-absolute URLs for self-posts in the widget. I've opened a ticket for it on GitHub. I don't think there's anything you can do on your end until it's fixed in our code (though we are open source ;).

We have an open ticket for it on github. Unfortunately, chromakode's been unable to reproduce it so far and we haven't gotten enough information about what's happening to diagnose it otherwise. If you have any details that could help, please let us know :)

Last try? I fixed this on April 2nd after it was pointed out on the reddit-dev mailing list. You can see the current version of the Cython code on github.

I am no longer able to reproduce the error for a https reddit connection, but the same (intermittent) issue is now occurring if I try to access Hacker News with an https connection, where I am served a cert for ssl2000.cloudflare.com and it is rejected by the browser.

Navigating to https://news.ycombinator.com/cdn-cgi/trace shows

On Reddit (where no error is occurring)

fl=35f36

That didn't work. Got it fixed. There is a <strong>Chrome cleanup tool</strong> that seems to have worked (for now). Site specific problem, so the list of suspects is short.

Thanks for that. I was cognisant of most of it, having tried to register an account using Iceweasel on TAILS with javascript disabled. I was reporting the bug to let them know that at least one machine was rendering what ought to be https://pay.reddit.com links as https://www.reddit.com links.

Hi! Jump over here and you can join the Dutch team and fix those directly.

I definitely appreciate the offer and look forward to a few new, better translations :)

The admins cleaned up a bunch of the top-level wiki pages and restricted edit permissions on them anyway. You might want to send a modmail to /r/reddit.com directly to inform them about the broken link, but in any case the translation project is located on Crowdin.

> Also, the pt translation seems to be some older translation (it's incomplete and has poor quality) and shouldn't exist at all, or, should be replaced by the pt-PT translation.

You might want to bring that up on the crowdin page: https://crowdin.com/project/reddit

In case anyone wants to fix it, I wrote some custom CSS to solve the issue. What is happening is that the icons from the Messages and User Settings options (listed near the bottom of the sidebar, if you scroll all the way down) are getting moved up due to the "top: 50%;" style being applied to them. It seems to be meaning to vertically center them in their own row, but is doing something else. By unsetting that style and changing a few things for some very minor placement issues, I have it fixed. In order to apply the custom CSS, you need to use an extension like Stylus (available on most browsers).

Create a style for www.reddit.com with the following code:

#focus-Settings div, #focus-Inbox div {

height: 20px;

width: 20px;

left: 12px;

margin-top: 0px;

max-height: 20px;

max-width: 20px;

position: absolute;

top: unset;

}

&#x200B;

#focus-Settings span, #focus-Inbox span {

flex-grow: 1;

font-size: 14px;

line-height: 18px;

margin-left: 28px;

max-width: 208px;

overflow: hidden;

text-align: left;

text-overflow: ellipsis;

white-space: nowrap;

}

I haven't tried it, but it looks like HTTPS Everywhere allows you to change/create your own rulesets. Maybe manually changing reddit's ruleset would work as a temporary fix?

As said by Signe, browsers do not send referrals when using HTTPS, so no site which I visit from here would know I come from Reddit. As you know reddit is a link sharing site, this is a big issue to me if every link in here posted knows I come from reddit, I'd rather them not know it.

Another thing, even though you claim I wasnt getting full-site encryption, yes I was. I am using the browser add-on https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere which has a ruleset for reddit that redirects everything to HTTPS, so actually I was fully protected, until this problem popped up.

Thanks for reporting. When you get a 404 page, what URL is it sending you to?

Also, if you open up the web console (Ctrl-Shift-K, or Firefox=>Web Developer=>Web Console), do you see any errors displayed? It might look like this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Web_Console/Opening_the_Web_Console

Hmm, it indeed seems to be broken in IE 8. /u/largenocream did some work in that area somewhat recently, but that was back in mid-December - so it shouldn't have just started affecting you now. Unless the javascript got cached for a month or something...

We'll probably try to fix it, but really, you shouldn't be using IE 8. With the combination of IE 8 and Windows XP, you're going to be finding yourself facing tons of security issues and broken software - and it's only going to get worse as time goes on.

Even if you don't upgrade Windows (which you really, really should), you should at least switch to using an updated browser, namely Chrome or Firefox. It will make your web life significantly better.

For reference, about 0.2% of our website users are still using IE 8.

That's why I use relay, despite de ad bar at the bottom it's a lot better at displaying and downloading content. Not to mention you can use the advanced posting features such as urls

I recently found out is just slow in my country/ISP no matter what, I used FoxyProxy which I set to use only use VPN when I open image/videos, and it went smoothly.

It's sad that I have to use VPN to get it load smoothly in the first place.

Found it! It's location based on whether it shows up or not.

I used TunnelBear to check a few countries. Ireland worked, Denmark didn't, but Canada and USA did. I guess my country is one that's in some secret "do not show" list :p
