This thread, folks, is why I made Gas an Admin. He's working on things that I couldn't even begin to fix.

Aaaaand now it stopped working altogether.

Edit: ok, seems that it still (halfway) works on chrome, but none work on firefox.

Updated my notification to the author.

Was at a lunch with a bunch of IT friends from my area. A few are being heavily affected by today's event. Only a minor annoyance for my work, thankfully.
An annoyingly not-insignificant portion of my day today has been spent explaining to people what a DDOS attack is and why it means they can't get to twitter.

Just found out our company moved away from Dyn for our DNS not long before I started. Yuge bullet dodged there.
 
The "Upload Files" button (between "Post Reply" and "More Options..." is showing up blank for me. Any particular reason?
 
FF 49.0.2 on WinX.[DOUBLEPOST=1477280216,1477280129][/DOUBLEPOST]EDIT: Strange, it's showing up on Chrome 54.0.2840.71...

EDIT #2: And it showed up briefly before reverting to a white box... :confused:

Unlike the other two buttons, the upload a file button is a flash widget. That might be a place to start looking...

Ok, now my firefox at work started doing it, too. The button still WORKS but it is a blank white box. I suspect, as Pat does, that it is due to new versions of the browsers continuing the steady march away from Flash.
 
There is an option under your Halforum Preferences "Use the Flash-based uploader to upload attachments". I imagine unchecking it will resolve this problem. (I've had it unchecked for months and never saw an issue.)

I see all of them.
Some of them I had to cheat on. Some of them are displaying something other than what they're supposed to.

I'm still working on it as we speak.[DOUBLEPOST=1493077421,1493077298][/DOUBLEPOST]Did I finally fix it?

[DOUBLEPOST=1493077529][/DOUBLEPOST]YES. FINALLY.

MOTHER FUCKING VICTORY.

HEY NOTE TO FUTURE GAS BANDIT

WHEN S9E updates you have to MANUALLY change out the PHP file in /library/s9e, NOT the one in /upload/library/s9e, that one doesn't do shit. THEN run the update routine.

Hey, when I wanna read a novel, I'll read a novel. And at least that'll be a properly localized too, so I won't have to be dealing with the same 7 phrases over and over again. There's just something about the way all the subtitles are done that make every show seem like the exact same show. Somebody always won't forgive somebody else, like that's supposed to be a dire pronouncement. Something can't be helped. Even if you say that! Somebody does something that is "as expected from whatever-kun." But is that really ok? You're a hundred years too early. It's a bother.

And through it all there will always be a liberal sprinking of gratuitous engrish that is neither pronounced correctly or even used with the correct meaning in mind.

I know that stuff seems super cool beans to the weebtaku set, but after a while it grates on us normies.

Occasionally I *will* watch a subbed anime, though even in that case I prefer for them to at least have one complete season out, so I can watch it at my own pace.
