Site Update — Weasyl

Temporary favorites glitch

Posted by charmander July 27, 2021 at 22:37:32 UTC

Hi everyone!

New favorites on Weasyl were broken July 27th between 05:22 and 21:53 UTC – about 17 hours leading up to this announcement. They’re working again now, and the missing favorites will be restored soon, but feel free to refavorite anything from that period in the meantime if you’d like to have them counted right away.

Apologies to those affected for the confusion/inconvenience.

  It’s probably not, so I’m also sorry for the unnecessary update! Unfortunately, finding out exactly who was affected is about as much work as restoring the favorites to begin with, so this was the only way to get the message out in a timely manner.

Thanks for keeping us updated about this matter and for restoring it! I was actually a bit scared thinking if I was the only one or not. This cleared things up. <3

And now I spotted an another glitch if you wanna call it that. Whereas before the submit areas used to have this neat box behind, now it has disappeared for some reason. Can someone look into this matter?

  You mean the tag lists? That was removed intentionally, because even though it looked nice, it broke some important features of text input boxes.

    It's not about tags, it's the browse files button or however you wanna call it. The bluish rectangle behind them is gone now, making them look pretty amateurish as a result. Did something break on your end or something? Otherwise the site appears to be as same as always. Though for Edge/Chrome users, you probably should tweak the coding behind the input fields as to block those browsers from implemening unwanted focus rings just in case.

      Oh, that was also removed intentionally for similar reasons.

        Ok? Well, if you're gonna renovate the submission pages, why not go the whole way? I'm sure there's gonna be a big site upgrade coming soon anyways...

Heartstorm4ever on September 24, 2022 at 19:45:05 UTC

I don't know if you're aware, but there's a problem with "finalizing" the placement of an avatar.
I already emailed support about it. I hope that I did the right thing.

Avery-Sune on October 2, 2022 at 06:48:17 UTC

Uh, yea, there's a new glitch in town! I'm trying to submit a new character but the image won't show!

RyukyuShin1997 on October 20, 2022 at 17:26:55 UTC

Think you guys could also fix the 502 errors when submitting images for characters or even finalizing avatars?

  TailBit on October 22, 2022 at 12:06:26 UTC
  
  Yes, the 502 error needs a fix, there is a whole month worth of characters that is without images atm
