♦ When I click on the IM tab for a specific user (the ones left of the chatbar), instead of opening above its bar, as what usually happens, it opens shifted to the right. If I have two conversations going and I open the leftmost one, for example, I can still see it, but then it's partly above the one to its right. If I open said one on the right, it appears above the chatbar, or even partly off the screen. The previous IM did this a lot, but it's the first time this new one does it.

- Include your browser. Firefox
- Time problem occurred yesterday and today
- A detailed description of what happened. I received a gift, and went to the gifts tab to view it. It didn't seem to open the gift. My number of points didn't change, and I didn't get however many extra points were in the gift.
- What section were you on? The gifts tab/PM tab
- What were you doing? Trying to open a gift
- What were you trying to do? Trying to open a gift
- Your operating system Windows 10

I don't know what's going on, but it's the second time this has happened.

Hey @AnnGrace! Are you saying you received a point donation, or a gift, as they are different thing.
When you receive a gift, you do not receive a point donation with it.

I never knew the difference. >.< What is the point of a gift then? I've gotten points before from...it said gifts. What does it do when you receive a gift then?

A gift is just a nice picture from someone. It doesn't do anything. A point donation is given from the same tab as gifts, so I assume the automated PM words it as a gift.

Ok, I guess it was a goofy mistake on my part. XD But oh well. Thanks fo clearing that up!

Hey, Nate— the Team Tortoise months aren't updating. They still say February and March.

W10
Chrome - updated fully
WriterFeedPad

Attempting to access WFP through the site or by manual URL entry leads to this bad boy:


It's been going on a few days.

My details are still the same as up there. I started writing a storybook post on the tablet last week, but then I continued on the PC afterwards. I had started writing it in Post a Reply, so it autosaved. After I shut my computer off and went back to the tablet, the original tab was still open, and since the tabs must reload each time you reopen Chrome on the tablet, it should reload the latest autosaved version, which was on the PC. Instead, it reloaded the original little bit I had written.

Panicked, I switched my PC back on, but the same happened there. That means the post I spent so much time and effort writing was erased just like that. Is it because the tab I reloaded used the text it had saved first and then overwrote the newer version? U don't know if anything can be done about it, but I decided to say something here just in case.

I am having WFP problems too, but this is completely different and has been happening ever since I got my name change. It basically deleted my WFP account. When I click it on the top bar, it sends me to Etherpad.org. When I try to sign in with Strange or Stranger, it denies me access.

Windows 10, Opera v38.0.2220.41

WFP seems to be be down for me (and the cast of my SB, Shattered Moons, as we were working in a pad together.). We have been having problems on and of all day but now it seems completely down.

Hi @Nate. I was publish a novel chapter and everything worked fine except after the last step when you click to publish the work and your points get taken away, the work didn't publish, but my points got taken away. I tried it again and the same thing happened, so now I have -400 points and the chapter didn't publish. I tried one more time and this time it published and took away another 200 points. Is there anyway I can get back the lost 400 points?

I'm using Firefox 47.0.1 on Windows 10

Half an hour before Review Day I've went to upload the work I had written in Word, but I couldn't... even though I tried with Word and Open Office file formats. I couldn't (every time I loaded it led to the same screen with no text as if I had refreshed the page) so I ended up copy pasting the whole text and formatting it in loco. I don't know if it was before or after, but I had checked my points and they were below 1000.

After I published it, I joined one of the Review Teams and looked up a PM from Big Brother received minutes after Review Day started. It mentioned Review Stops, but I didn't search them immediately. I proceeded to my first review and about 40 minutes after I earned 125 points and I guess I saw "5 reviews" somewhere.

So afterwards I went to all the 5 Review Stops, after which I checked again and my points were above 2500! I swear I'm no I'd like to know how that happened, but I can't seem to find my points history. I'd look it up if it was mentioned before in the Information Desk Archive but it shows no posts when I try to access that section, even though it accounts for 719 topics.

Hope that helps!

People are just receiving exponential points. no one seems all that upset about it, unsurprisingly, but I'm not doing /anything/ and I'm just gaining more points. It seems to be happening to everyone, too.
Edit: It seems to have stopped now. Someone who had 0 points says they went up by 350. (It is currently 12:40 MST) Someone who says they had 1 point went up by like 2000.

Hah. I can't access anyone's profile by clicking their name on the active members list-- not even my own. I get the attached message instead.

Tried on Android phome in Chrome and Safari on iPad.

Edit: now (on phone), before I wrote this I couldn't reach anyone's profile; now other people's open, but my own is still giving me that message.
