I am missing 8 PFS tables for GM credit and 7 SFS tables for credit. It seemed that at first it may have been just the ones that I had GMed multiple times (like 5 slots from Origins) but on going through the list of ones showing, I do show at least two of the tables I GMed multiple times are showing for credit.


The threads on the main page for each Forum (Pathfinder, Starfinder, Organized Play, etc.) are all jammed tightly together with no spacing in between, making them much harder to read than before.

Each thread also shows two different entries for number of posts, one to the right of the title, and another on the 2nd line to the right of the Last Post info.

Viewing in Windows 10 with Firefox 61.0.1 and Chrome 68.0.3440.84. Same problem in both browsers.

In the mobile version in Chrome 68.0.3440.70 for Android 8.0.0, the spacing is better for the thread titles etc. (though tiny), but the post count info isn't lined up with the threads at all, and is all crammed together in the upper right.

Another example of a red text page.

In paizo-0418.min.css, the ".red" class is applying the color red to most of the text. The thread also has "Red" in the title.

Oh, I see what's going on. Near the top, the name of the thread is in the <main> class. So in the thread I linked, for example, the main class attribute is:

The page name is used as the class wrote:


<main class="ctf online campaigns - the red arm of absalom - ongoing campaign-ctf subtier">

It contains the word "red" so the CSS applies the styling for the "red" class, which turns the text red.

I already heard another thread had the word "green" in it and that's why all of the text is green.

I don't know what's generating that class for the <main> element but it shouldn't be there.

Nice find chadius. Though I know it's likely a bug and will be fixed, I just wanted to add that I'm completely fine with and encourage our campaign having red text! So fitting. :)

Hey folks! We will be rolling some fixes this afternoon that will normalize the GM credits and resolve thread creation issues. Fixes to some of the reported styling errors will come soon after.

One of my game threads turned red for some reason, perhaps because the name of the game has 'Red' in it?

The game thread in question. It's just this one game thread.

Also, can't create new threads in website feedback, it gives me an error.

This and the other "thread titles are turning different colors" reports are all variations of a strange CSS injection bug that Balacertar reported above. We seem to be able to add whatever CSS classes we want into the <main> element of a thread.

Hi Chris!

I incidentally found a way to inject CSS classes into threads <main> tags.

When one of my campaigns suddenly turned red I started to inspect and found the Campaign title is injected into the class attribute of the <main> tag.

That title is under control of the campaign GM, and I was able to do fun things like turning green my Shackled City campaign or break the format of another campaign injecting the 'form-prompt' class.

Although at a fast inspection I did not find any potentially dangerous class, there are some able to break the usability of the forum.

Those mine where intended, but there might be someone that might find his campaign broken without no clue of what might have happened.

At first I thought the injection was a change of last update, but reading your post I guess it existed for a long time and the new thing is the red class that affected my GM Red Sun's Reign of Winter campaign. I guess that is enough to understand what is happening and the potential dangers, but contact me if you need more on my side.

I guess I should clarify that that "red/green" color change thing is not part of this round of fixes. We do however have it on our list to fix soon, but have determined that the place where it's happening isn't something we want to touch on Playtest Eve™ :)


Just wanted to report that text is cut off in mobile now.

I am getting an issue in Explorer where the Footer of the webpages is remaining in the middle of a page as you scroll down, obsuring the text.

And I have reproduced that issue in Google Chrome now.

At least the indication that personalization of a download has completed is a nice new feature. Now if we could only sort our download lists....

Web Product Manager

Alrighty! We have pushed those fixes I mentioned and there's a few bits of info to be aware of:

* GM Credits: The missing repeatable GM credits should now be back. You might have to hit the "Refresh Points" button on your GM/Event Coordinator tab to recalculate the value.

* My Downloads: This page should be more stable. Sorting functionality is something we've improved, but will require a page refresh to reflect the sorting changes you've selected. This is a pretty involved piece of code and we do have "make this page update upon clicking new sort option" without a page refresh on the top of the list of regressions to address.

* Thread Creation: You should no longer be running into the Golem error page when creating a thread.

Regarding styling issues, we'll be patching these in small doses over the next day. Luckily this is much less involved for us to resolve and should address: footer overlapping, text cutting off in mobile, the PM indicator, forum alignment issues, and some other smaller things that didn't come across in the rewrite.

Thanks for the time, Chris. My lost credits are already back. :)

Concerning downloads, however, I don't seem to be able to fold/display categories. So I can access PF scenarios, as they were unfolded, and can't hide the list; but for Starfinder Scenarios I only have an ugly Paizo Inc.: Starfinder Society (23) with nowhere to click to display its content.

I'm having the same issue with the downloads page. I just purchased Starfinder Armory and all I'm seeing on the Digital Content page is the category headers as plain, formatted text (formatting's still there, but no fold-out arrows and clicking them does nothing).

The Exchange

The black Paizo banner which normally sits at the bottom of the page seems to be moving around. On one of my PbP threads it is actually obscuring the text of the thread for the bottom poster (the banner moves down when someone new posts, but not enough to actually stop obscuring the bottom post). This seems to be random - it isn't the case for most other messageboard pages, although it's like that (for me) on the first page of this thread (but not the second). However, reloading the page, going away and coming back, etc, doesn't seem to shift it once it has settled in place.


Apparently third-party dependencies are now gone again. Which is nice!

Thanks, Chris!

My GM table totals are back to where they should be, although for my events the events don't seem to fix themselves until all the GMs recalculate.


Are there any updates on the mobile website? It is quite difficult to read forums and campaign pages.


Update on the "Digital Content" page problems that I've been having. I signed in through Microsoft Edge (Explorer) and was able to see actual links to the files and download my copy of Armory. However, the fold-downs still aren't available. The links are still entirely unavailable on Chrome.


If the problem is specifically with the Digital Content page, you might be able to work around it by going directly to the product page and clicking on the Downloads tab there (under the description, to the right of Product Review and Product Discussion).

Unfortunately, no dice there. I suspect the issue is with the fold-down functionality, as when I set to download the Playtest material and it added a new category, that shows up with the links, but still no fold-down/fold-up button.

I had collapsed the Rulebooks categories when the page was last working okay, and now it won't un-collapse so I can see the links, so anyone who's collapsed a category and is running on Chrome may have issues accessing their download links.


The avatar-selection page seems to be wonky. It looks like it's showing thumbnails of the product each avatar comes from (along with some of the information you used to get if you moused over an image) instead of just the grid of images.

Thanks for bringing this bug to our attention, and sorry for the inconvenience. It looks like this is currently a problem for anyone who had previously collapsed download groups, since which download groups are collapsed is stored as a persistent preference. We have documented the issue and are working on a fix. In the meantime, one possible workaround is to go to the downloads page in a new browser or in incognito mode, which should reset your preferences so that all of the download groups are expanded.

I've found two issues:

Windows 10, Chrome, Version 67.0.3396.99

1. Avatar selection is a mess. The boxes that used to pop out when hovering over an avatar are now on the page by default and I see no way to go to a second page.

2. On my downloads, when I filter, some things that are in the group disappear while other things appear in the group that aren't part of the group. For example, if I filter to the adventure card guild scenarios for Season 0, Wayfinder #11 appears in the group and adventure 0-1 disappears.


I had another PM waiting in my Private Message inbox that I did not get a notification for.

The 'new' number of waiting messages is correct when I use the dropdown menu.

However, there is no indicator that I should check my messages, unless I manually open the My Account menu.

The lack of notifications when one receives a private message is a looming issue for me too.

Is there any indication of a fix for this? (I appreciate you probably won't have a specific date, but I wonder if there's any information you can provide as to whether it's a priority and/or easy to fix or not?)

The top menus (in the Starfinder forums) are far too narrow. Every thread is now breaking onto two lines and has such a narrow line height that I can't read anything!

What happened to the awesome "fit your screen" format we had before!?

EDIT: It look like the display attribute of the bordered-box class is responsible. When I turn it off, it shows a more normal width.

It's .bordered-box {display: inline-block;} in the http://paizo.com/include/paizo-0418.min.css file (line 1)


When I look at reviews (clustered in groups of 5) and try to see the next group of 5, I'm thrown into the Product Discussion page instead. Tried this w/ "The Anubis Murders" from Planet Stories, which I just reviewed (unfavorably).

Anyway. I'm on an iMac w/ Safari and High Sierra; latest versions.

Hey folks, some of the CSS issues are something I'm hoping to get tackled in part today. Some of the other items will need to wait until some folks on our team (including our front-end dev, who is the real wizard at this) return from the show. Again, thank you for your patience!

Pushed through an update to fix missing list elements, private message notifications, and a couple smaller items. The issues seen in subforums and in certain browsers in the footer will be addressed as soon as we're able, but I suspect I need to tag in some help (as I don't want to break it further).

Liberty's Edge

I noticed an issue on the product pages.

I can get to the reviews tab just fine, but if I try to navigate to page 2 on, there is a short delay and then the entire page reloads and I'm back on the product discussion tab.

Firefox 61.0.1 on Windows 10.


For some reason, the thread I made in the website feedback forum (as well as ones that I posted in previously, namely when you switched to this "responsive site" stuff) do not show up on my focus list, even when looking at only the website feedback section.

Thank goodness I went through the trouble of searching around the unfocused list, otherwise I would not have realized folks responded to me.

I'm guessing the "text goes off the edge of screen" is one of those issues being handled later, however, I told my browser to grab the desktop version, which is thankfully a much better size than mobile (my 20/10 vision making a difference perhaps?), but the side margins are tiny. It's like 4-7 pixels from edge of screen to the line border of posts, which on a 4" 1024 pixel screen feels really tight, like you're afraid of whitespace kind of tight.

Also kind of awkward when the "type in text for a post" box is half as wide as the actual posts.

Thanks, Chris. Greatly appreciated (both the speedy work and the conservative approach - not a good weekend to break something, I'm guessing!)


Just noticed that in within my Alias profiles the occ coded text is just appearing as normal black rather than the blue.

Posting seems fine - all the ooc comments/coded text is appearing as it should - just seems to be within alias profiles.

This just me or is anyone else getting that?

Hey Chris, I'm having the same issue as some of the others with the list collapsing feature of My Downloads lacking the arrows to "un-collapse" them. I tried the Incognito window suggestion from Robert Brandenburg, but that didn't help, nor did clearing my cache of cookies and then trying again.

I'm having the same issue with avatar selection: popout boxes showing on all the avatars by default, and no way to see the next page. Windows 10, Chrome, 68.0.3440.84.

Yes.


FYI, the quote blocks within alias profiles also look wonky. The font stays the same and does not have a darker background. It's still indented, though.

My sessions are being calculated correctly, but my stars and nova are gone. Gone from my Profile, my Account, my posts in Organized Play threads, and--most importantly--gone from my Organized Play card. They were there before the update when I downloaded my updated card. I just noticed that they were gone today.

OP# 230524
Chrome Version 68.0.3440.84 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Over GenCon, I earned my first nova, and I earned playtest credit. These were new things that happened to my account between 7/30/18 and today.


Kinda surprised making a sub-forum for Return of the Runelords wasn't part of the update.

more on topic: site has quite a few slow downs here and there, part of it might be loading order/priority.

Can confirm this problem on Windows 7 running Chrome Version 67.0.3396.99 (Official Build) (64-bit) and Mac OS also running Chrome (sorry, not at that PC and can't confirm version/build numbers, but OS and Chrome are both up to date as of last night).

This was happening this way before the 7/31 update, however.

Didn't see this reported anywhere, but:

When composing a new private message, the text/combo box fields for From, To, and Subject, are all centered horizontally, instead of left aligned.

Then again, the alignment property on many things with the new web site code is way out of whack. Seems like someone just blanket centered everything both horizontally and vertically.

Has made for many a jumbled mess!

(Firefox in windows 7 and windows 10, if it matters)


On firefox on android 7 on samsung galaxy j3.

Still have the squished screen with things falling off the right side (looks like something there changed thougn as the "+" to favorite a post is now partly visible), but now "get desktop version" keeps reseting so I have to select and reload literally every page. I'm not certain if that is the website or not, but honestly, if I could just checkmark a box in my account settings and not worry about it ever again, would be wonderful.

Just to let you know.

In the downloads page, when I go "by company" for the list, it has the list of the various groupings, but since I had unexpanded them in the past, they are all (but Season 10) not showing the individual downloads, and there is no way to expand the list to see them.

The list by name (assumingly) has all the downloads, but finding the particular one is somewhat difficult, as there is no rhyme or reason for the order that it is in. (I had to use the Find function on Mozilla to get to the Journal Cards, and had to click on "having Trouble" after seeing the Golem "no permission" page the first time.)

Also, I can't see the individual character sessions link on the page on my Characters page for PFS anymore.

Silver Crusade

I don't know if this is related to this update or not.

I recently stopped playing in a game that is still active; play is ongoing. I've had the GM make my character profile inactive, but the game is still showing up on my Campaigns tab as if I were still active in it.

I've confirmed that the GM made my character inactive; his name no longer appears under the game title on my Campaigns tab, and my character is shown under the Inactive list on the Characters tab for this game.

Any thoughts on why this isn't dropping out of my active Campaigns?

Running Chrome on both Windows 7 and Mac OS X. Browser and both OSes are updated to most current versions. I use the PCT plugin, but disabled it to see if it was interfering; this behavior is consistent whether the plugin is enabled or not.
