Bugs on VoyageForum (page 3 of 7)

Hello

Little quirk! On my smartphone, when I click on a username to view their profile, I end up on my own profile. On my iPad, this feature works normally.

I just tried it, and for me it works fine on both iPhone and iPad.

However, in the discussion "Your recommendations for 20 days in Thailand," I can’t access the pages via the links a member posted. Links that should let me check out other threads on VF.

Hi there

Little glitch! On my smartphone, when I click on a username to view their profile, I end up on my own profile. On my iPad, this feature works normally.

However, in the discussion "Your recommendations for 20 days in Thailand," I can’t access the pages via the links another member posted. Those links should let me check out other VF discussions.

I found a workaround for what you mentioned while waiting for the fixes—you have to go into the forum emails you moved to the trash, click on them again, and once you're back in the forum, search for the discussion you want. That works. But what seems most urgent to fix is that we can’t edit a sent message—the page always says the message was deleted when it actually wasn’t.

Hi @VoyageForum. Maybe a bug in the thread you created (Hidden gems: should we preserve or share them?) too. You asked us a question we couldn't answer because you closed the thread

Hi there,

Today I couldn't open any thread on my smartphone. Every click took me to the same discussion (maybe the last one I viewed?), whether it was via an email or directly on the site.

This evening, I'm on my iPad, and when I try to open a discussion, a window pops up: "Do you want to download Les voyageurs...blabla on Voyage Forum?"

However, I was able to open this bug discussion without any issues. One minute it works, the next it doesn't. One minute it's the smartphone, the next it's the iPad. And often, it keeps loading forever. It's really frustrating...

While waiting for the admins to find solutions, I’ll share my method—I’ve never had any issues, whether on iPhone or iPad:

I bookmarked the 3 pages that interest me on VF in Safari: “followed discussions, new discussions, and ongoing discussions.” When I want to visit the site, I click on one or the other, and then I browse around.

That said, I configured my profile a long time ago to receive NO emails from VF because I was tired of getting one every time there was news. Anyway, I visit often (too often?). And if I don’t come, it’s because I don’t have time, so an email wouldn’t change much.

Hi, Well, there’s an even simpler way: grab an old VF email about a discussion from your trash, and browse the topics you want to read. As for the emails sent whenever there’s news, just don’t click “follow” on any discussion in the forum (it’s that easy) 😄

Hi everyone,

A new bug has appeared on the site: some posts are being sent straight to the trash, sometimes right after they're published, and sometimes months later.

This is a bug! We aren’t deleting your posts for fun. We’re still trying to figure out the cause of the other issues you’ve reported—it’s taking a while because, as we’ve mentioned, these bugs pop up completely at random.

Thanks for your patience, and we know it’s really annoying for your daily browsing on VF.

Best regards,

Hello,

We’re still looking into the cause of the other malfunctions reported. It’s taking a while because, as we’ve mentioned, these bugs appear completely at random.

Things briefly went back to normal, but now the issues are back for good: no emails from VF to notify me of a new PM or a reply to a public post. I don’t have any followed discussions and browse VF based on the green dots indicating new discussions or messages. Maybe that’s why I’ve never encountered any of the many problems mentioned above.

Some posts go straight to the trash, sometimes right after being published, sometimes months later. It’s a bug !

Or maybe not. Have you considered some kind of guardian intervention, a protective force watching over VF... and sending straight to the trash messages that should’ve ended up there on their own? 🙂

Hi, I’ve had a new bug on my computer for the past two days—I no longer receive the emails that notify me of new messages in any of my followed threads 😅

On the homepage, the 🟢 marks in front of each section title—which indicate one or more new discussion(s)—stay green instead of turning neutral O when there are no new topics... or becoming neutral when all messages are marked as read.

You’re also colorblind, huh? 😄

Good evening,

They’re green even without logging in, so I think they’ve lost their indicative value. In my opinion, it’s related to the new look and the change from blue.

Hi,

Yes, it's being fixed.

hi there, still the same bug for me. For example, I go to the new discussions section, and I always end up back on the topic I previously viewed. So far, the only solution I've found—and it doesn’t even work all the time—is to log out of VF, turn off my computer, and come back later. Best regards!!!

Hi there,

What you're describing doesn't seem to have much to do with VF; the issue is likely with your browser's cache management. You might want to try switching browsers or using private browsing mode.

Hi, I'll try that, but I think it's more about my old usernames here that I can't delete. I haven't reported this issue about the bugs, but I think someone else had the same problem where they get stuck on a previously read topic and can't access others.

but I think it’s more likely my old usernames here that I can’t delete.

Delete them from what, from where? On your end, like saved profiles in a browser? On VF?

Here on VF, I’ve got at least 5 old ones from the time I was banned every two days 😂

We can delete old accounts.

It's related to the link in the email. That's where the bug originates. We're still working on it, but it's tricky because we need to be able to reproduce the bug, and the developers aren’t seeing it on their end.
