Report a Site Bug

Browser: safari

Time: 10:18 AM

What happened: I liked a literary work (this one, if that helps) and it popped up this white screen that says "view likes (not working yet)

Spoiler

uhhh I would have cropped it but I'm on computer so uh yeah

OS: macbook air

edit: I think this is happening with all the literary works I'm coming across, because I liked This work and I got the same screen. It doesn't happen with forum threads, only literary works

i received a general error message when trying to post my napo thread for this year at 12:41 using firefox. i copy-pasted some fonts from a font generator and that could have been the problem? i'm not sure though.

EDIT: never mind it ended up posting!

Spoiler

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

Illegal mix of collations (utf8mb3_bin,IMPLICIT) and (utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation 'like' [1267]

An SQL error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact the Board Administrator immediately at webmaster@youngwriterssociety.com with a copy of this error message. Do not hesitate, but please be nice!

@momonster ->> That's definitely a bug on YWS' end, but it's a difficult one to fix. Can you resubmit your post without the fonts? Or, what some people do is they take a screenshot of their work and then upload that.

@Nate it ended up posting but if the fonts are going to be an issue going forward i can remove them for sure :)

I got a very minor, but weird bug going on.

[pretext: I'm using DuckDuckGo on a laptop with Windows 10. I've already restarted everything, even my wifi router (unintentionally lol), and the problem is still here. The bug does not appear when I use mobile.]

The star button that you use to "like" posts is missing on almost the whole website. It works on threads and forums, like roleplays, and on reviews. However, on my wall, others' walls, and the People tab, it glitches out and disappears. The little gray button with the asterisk button -the one you click to show who likes your post- is still there but misplaced.

It's not a big deal, just kinda weird. There's a screenshot in my post here:

Thank you! ^^

hello, i’ve been dealing with an email related issue of which I am getting activity updates every week even when I press “unsubscribe.” I have tried dozens upon dozens of times to unsubscribe (and it’s even told me that I’ve successfully unsubscribed every time) and then the next week I get another email. this has been happening for months, ever since i first tried to do it.
edit july 29th: still happening.i would be incredibly thankful if this could be fixed or if there can be a button in the settings on the site of which we can unsubscribe from all the emails if we want to.
still happening. September 23rd

My star bug has been back for a while -and again, it's not a big deal, it's just an odd anomaly that I've been dealing with!

Chrome browser (tried laptop and my phone), I'm apparently no longer able to either post comments on people's walls or reply to comments on my own wall? It was working earlier today but now I get this error every time I try to reply to anyone:

What Happened: WriterFeedPad went down with a 502 Proxy Error and has not gotten back up after 16 hours. This is affecting everyone.

Spoiler

WriterFeedPad experienced a major crash on Thursday. It's recoverable, but it will be down for potentially another day or even longer. The database has grown very large, and the issue is that the table holding the data for the pads has become corrupted. The repair process is simple, but because of the size of that table, it'll take a while.

WFP Update: Still repairing the database. It's a very big database on a very limited server.

WFP Update: It's back up, and on a slightly more powerful server now.

So, uh, this is more of a self-inflicted bug, but I need to be transparent about it. I also don't know how much control anyone has over it besides myself.

I entered the Chat section using this account. As you can see, my username is awfully similar to that of retired JM Hattable. Some might say we're only a stroke of a keyboard different. Apparently the chat doesn't register that and I exploited a potential security risk.

@Hat%20Table thanks for letting me know! That's a funny bug, and completely an error on my part alone.

uhhhhhh yws looks kinda broken. the confetti feels festive though!
I'm on firefox on mobile, and it's every page I visit
