Official upgrade issue thread!

limr · Oct 5, 2014

I'm on a netbook. This netbook sometimes goes a little wonky and I thought at first it was that, so I restarted, but still nothing. And just in that thread. I checked again and the progression bar pops up for about half a second and then disappears.

I still can't post on this thread: Advertising in B&W (circa 1950) | Photography Forum and yet I can post everywhere else.

In the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal. It is weird, though.

It's the thread -- I get the same thing.

THIS THREAD, which is the latest one I've posted, is not showing up in my "threads started by sm4him" list.

Any ideas why? As far as I can recall, all the other threads I've started since The Change are showing up, just not this last one.

omg. where did you even find a threads started by user list? I was searching for it last night and came here to post about it.

The Pentax section is not working. Can go to an individual thread, but not the section.

Go to your profile page; click on the Information tab, then look for "content from 'username', followed by 'threads started by 'username'.

Okay, this has been happening for at least a week now. The little ad on the right-hand side, under my username and avatar, is sometimes just an image and sometimes a video.

When it's a video, it will just suddenly and randomly start playing. It's irritating as all get out, because there isn't even an option to stop it. The only way to make it stop is to refresh the page.

It has nothing to do with accidentally scrolling over it or anything, because it has happened several times when I'm either on a different site altogether or not even at my computer, and all of a sudden I hear sounds coming from the computer and find the video playing.

It's especially annoying if I'm at work, or if I'm trying to listen to another video that I actually WANT to hear at the time, so I have the sound up.

AdBlock Plus if you're using Firefox. I see no advertisements at all. It's also handy for blocking other garbage as well.

Yep. AdBlock Plus, coupled with Ghostery, coupled with NoScript.

No ads, no trackers.

Yeah, good plan. Still, those things, at the very least, ought to NOT autoplay.

Oh, I have, believe me! But here on TPF, sometimes, if the planets align just right, I can almost convince myself that there is someone in charge who is actually listening.
Almost.

Not in the past week. That's when the last post by an admin was.

I see the error here, I'll get that one fixed.

As far as posting in the B&W thread, I can post in it just fine. I think it may be a browser issue if you are unable to post in it.
