Bugs on VoyageForum (page 1 of 8)

Hi,

Many of us have noticed that bugs have been making it difficult to navigate the forum lately.

I’ll let Kate and Ticapi explain the issue:

I went to your profile to check out the Thailand travel journal, and when I clicked on it, it brought me back here again. All week, I’ve been dealing with bugs like this—it’s really discouraging from continuing on VF.🙁

I had the same thing happen, and multiple times. For me, it was Montagnard’s latest journal that kept coming up no matter which discussion I clicked on.

Hopefully, a solution will be found soon.🙂

Hi,

Same here. If I open a first link (including from a notification email), I always get sent back to the content of that link, no matter which VF link I click on afterward (including other notification emails). It seems like things only go back to normal after I close all my browser windows and reopen VF, or even when I turn off and then restart my PC (I only use VF on a PC). This bug has been happening often for about a week now, but not every single time.

I sent an email to VF on August 16th to explain my issue. The next day, I received the following response:

We’re experiencing some bugs at the moment. We’ve forwarded the issue to the technical team.

For me, the problem persists, though it’s slightly better if I use Safari instead of Google Chrome. I tried on my iPhone and iPad, but it doesn’t make any difference.

I won’t add anything to what you just mentioned about me except: When quoting someone whose message contains tags, you have to remove them or your message can’t be posted. This issue didn’t exist before. Hope that’s clear 🤪

]I had the same thing, and multiple times. For me, it was the last Montagnard travel journal that kept coming back whenever I clicked on any discussion

No, but this is normal, it’s called harassment

Yes, Bruno, it's harassment. And you're persisting! I just accessed your message above via the notification I received from VF ("new message in the discussion..."). And now, every time I click on other forum posts, it's always you bringing it up again 😎

okay... I just closed my browser, reopened it, and went back to the VF site. Still the same issue. I shut down my PC and started again: no matter which post I click on VF, Bruno's message above keeps showing up.

Hi,

All your reports are forwarded to the technical team. The issue we're facing is that these bugs aren't systematic, which makes identifying them tricky.

We're doing our best to fix them. Thanks for your understanding.

Yes, Bruno, harassment. And you’re insisting!

After everything I just read, the problem is Bruno!

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I get the feeling it’s often related to accessing VF through a link.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. I get the feeling it’s often related to accessing VF from a link.

It’s been a long time since I disabled the “send an email” feature—it was cluttering my inbox with all the chatty messages you guys send. I access VF through the “followed discussions” section to see all the latest updates. Maybe that’s why VF works perfectly for me and I can keep pestering my fellow forum members 😉

It’s the opposite for me. When I click the link in the emails, I always land on the right page. It’s within the forum itself—when I try to switch to a different discussion or travel journal—that I keep getting sent back to the same place. Same thing if I go to my followed discussions; I always end up back at the one I was just viewing.

But as of this morning, it’s working perfectly. We’ll see how long that lasts…

But since this morning, it’s been working perfectly. Let’s see how long it lasts…

Only on the iPad and not on the iPhone. 😕

When I click on the link in the emails, I always end up on the right page.

What I meant was that when you arrive on VF that way, it messes up afterward.

Yesterday, the only time I had an issue was when I clicked on a link in an email. Couldn’t navigate to another discussion after that. (Desktop computer + Android smartphone)

Oh, I'm so glad to read this!!!

I thought the problem was on my end—I couldn’t make heads or tails of it! No matter which topic I clicked, it kept taking me back to the start of the same travel journal I’d already read...

Glad to hear it’s a general issue! 🙂 Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

Hi there,

A suggestion from the developer to try and pinpoint the issue. Could you try browsing VF in a Chrome private/incognito window and let us know if you're still experiencing the problem?

Thanks a lot.

PS: I’ll pass along the observation that it bugs out after opening via an email.

Hi,

If I run into the problem again, I'll reconnect using Chrome in private browsing and let you know the result.

This will be on Android—I don’t have Chrome on my computer, just Firefox.

Hi there. This happens to me every day too—just try not to get "obsessed" with the forum because less than 30 minutes later, the issue fixes itself on its own 🤪

Hi there,

If you can take a video capture of your screen when the bug happens, that would be super helpful for the developers. And here’s the info we need:

- What device were you using when the issue occurred? (Computer, phone, tablet) - Which browser did the problem happen on? (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, etc.) - Describe the issue you encountered as precisely and thoroughly as possible. - Include screenshots and add the URL(s) of the page(s) where you ran into the problem. Thanks in advance! This will help us try to reproduce the bug.
