We are presently experiencing technical difficulties

[Zoop 8,384]

As many of you have probably noticed, we're presently dealing with a rather annoying issue of some manner that is causing the bbcode within random posts to not function properly - resulting in things such as links, youtube videos, and images not working properly.

 

Our resident techpony scatcoal Scootacool has been working on the issue, but has yet to find a cause and/or any way to put an end to it. He's opened a support ticket with IPS, who will be looking into the issue.

 

From what we've observed so far, you can temporarily repair your own posts by editing and subsequently resubmitting them, though this is admittedly not a permanent fix.

 

Further details will be available when we know what the hell is going on here when they are available. We appreciate your patience!

@,

 

You messed it up again? Scoots, you need to get your act together man. I blame this on you 100% because no matter what you or the administration says, it will always be your fault entirely.

 

COME AT ME, BRO!

[Retro*Derpy 3,714]

I knew something was going on, glad at least they are trying to fix it, this problem was annoying especially in the "We can only talk with pictures!" Topic.

(I like the Tags btw)

Please remain calm, Scootacool is innocent until proven guilty. Though we presently lack sufficient evidence to put him behind bars for good, we expect that evidence to materialize in the very near future - be patient, his days are numbered.

 

In all seriousness though, we presently have no idea as to what is causing the issue - it is quite random in nature thus far, and doesn't seem to be anything that he did.

Oh I just sent a report ticket about this like an hour ago. I thought it was only me at first. Good to see you've noticed it.

It must be some hungry parasprites eating all the codes.

Alrighty. I thought it was only me when I saw a bunch of posts as if it was in editing mode. Good to know you guys are working on it.

[Otter 1,942]

Good grief, why does everyone hate Scootacool so much? Is he really that bad of a tech guy? Did I miss something that happened a while back?

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

BURN THE CHICKEN

 

 

Well I doubt I'll be posting any links or videos today, mostly cause I'll probably head to bed soon, hopefully it'll be fixed soon though.....

No. He is our only tech admin.

So we love to make fun of him, as if every problem is his fault.

 

It is all in good fun, and I (hope) he realizes that we joke because we love him.

It's just good-natured teasing.

 

I actually appreciate the humor. It interrupts the grim monotony of investigating technical issues. (I get a really good laugh every time! (Laughing is good for you!) )

[RazzyJam 1,519]

Further details will be available ... when they are available.

 

.

Really? I thought they would be available when they were unavailable!

 

But yes this was a nuisance, and Im glad it is being handled! I thought it might had been just my computer that was screwing up :/

Dear god.

 

Scootacool.

 

Go and Scootafix now.

 

I mean,seriously.

 

This is like,so annoying.

looks like it's gone now....whatever it was

wasn't too big of a deal though....you could just highlight, copy, and paste the url in a new tab

[Creamy Arty 6,252]

This is all your fault.

 

Why does it keep breaking my links and embeds? I swear one of these days I'll kick these forums out the window!

 

[Solar Wind 596]

*Pulls out hammer* Im almost 100% sure this will solve our problem. Either we whack the internet and see if it gets fixed or we whack the chicken and make him fix it... Either way the problem has been solved!!

 

(I solved this just like that! I should be a tech admin with my skillz )

[NavelColt 22,883]

Ah, glad to see I wasn't simply going crazy, seeing broken links that worked perfectly fine a day earlier. That's always good.

 

And once again, the signature I gave to Scoots proves to follow through once again.

[Somebody 570]

This might have something to do with a bug I discovered a few weeks ago, but didn't report because it mysteriously disappeared. For a while, I couldn't edit long posts with the quick editor. If I did, the forum software would disable emoticons in the edited post, just showing the smiley code instead of the image. Posts that had been glitched looked the same for me and for others seeing it, and a ctrl-refresh had no effect. The only way to edit those posts without breaking them was to go into the full editor, uncheck the "enable emoticons" box, recheck it, then save the edited post.

 

Strangely enough, the problem only lasted a few days, going away before I had a chance to make a detailed bug report. These issues could be related.

[kirbyboi 588]

I've been noticing this too. My beautiful gifs are being destroyed! However, I'm you guys will fix it.

 

Hasn't been happening much lately, so that's also a good thing. I'm sure this will be fixed in no time!

[Starshine 16,335]

Something is happening

 

All posts, I mean every single posts, that contain images that was uploaded to mlpforums (got the unique http://s.mlpforums) will broke down into the bbcode, doesn't matter whether the image was quoted from other posts or not

 

Let's try this

 

 

 

Edit: Huh, not working as expected... nevermind

Oh, I was wondering why my late night picture posts had been borking. I wonder what kind of fix you guys will figure out.

 

So, who've you got wor-

[Radiance64 7,059]

Ah, I've noticed this. Only in other people's posts though, because all my posts are obviously not at all ever always perfect. Anyway, hope you guys can fix the issue.

[Zoop 8,384]

I believe that Feld0 was able to fix this last night early this morning - turns out that one of our forum hooks was updated and started to develop a few bad habits. We'll be keeping our eyes on things, though.

Still got them, seems like something is happening between this site and imgur.com

 

Case 1:

I posted an image with imgur, Dreamwalker quoted me, his post broken down messily

 

 

 

The loco Dashie is hosted at imgur

 

 

 

 

Case 2:

I posted a rather large image from imgur. Yesterday it was good, but just a moment ago I checked, it's already broken
