SuttaCentral 2021: bug reports here! šŸ›

Thank you @llt :pray:
This is because sa88 has no relevant translation.
I will change it to show the root text if there is no relevant translation :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi,
Iā€™m on an iPhone 6 iOS 12.5.
The new 2021 site has stopped working for several days on my phone. Now itā€™s only a blank page on the screen suttacentral.net
Can Anyone help me out?

The latest iOS is 14.5. Perhaps SuttaCentral no longer supports your old version of Safari? Unfortunately thereā€™s not much you can do if so: the app store forbids third party rendering engines (and I assume your 6 is refusing iOS updates?)

The Sutta Central homepage seems to have been down for about a week? The site comes up as a blank page on my Firefox, Brave, and Chrome browsers. Not sure if anyone else is having this problem.

Itā€™s working for me. However, more than once Iā€™ve had to clear my cache when something was updated. Try clearing cache and cookies for the site.

A post was merged into an existing topic: Please keep reporting errors and typos!

I think this bug :bug: (and following posts) is rather something that belongs here. @HongDa, could you please have a look?

minor matterā€¦

This was on 2021 MacBook Air with the latest ed of BigSur and Chrome

Also, I couldnā€™t get to ā€˜Punishmentsā€™ by clicking next. Had to go back to the menu (it does exist!).

The first one is probably browser/OS dependent, but the second seems not. It tries to go to a page with the URL https://suttacentral.net/an2-kammakaranavagga/en/sujatoā€”which does not exist. There does exist a page with the URL https://suttacentral.net/an2-kammakaranavagga, which is a navigation card page.

The page you want to go to is probably https://suttacentral.net/an2.1-10/en/sujato.

Maybe the algorithm gets confused with the Vagga Suttas?

I still made HongDa aware in the technical bug thread.

Hallo, just found a bug

Chrome Version 91.0.4472.114 (Official Build) (x86_64)
Mac OS Big Sur 11.4
Laptop

Search from the homepage says Iā€™m not connected to the Internet (I def am tho). Had to search via Google instead.

Otherwise, website looking good!

I donā€™t know whether to call this a bug or Iā€™m possibly doing something wrong, but Iā€™m noticing that when I reply directly to another person, like so:

rather than replying to the thread itself:

I donā€™t see the indicator that Iā€™m replying to that particular person, which I do see on other peopleā€™s replies:

The reply does show up in my count of ā€œMost Replied Toā€ so Discourse can tell Iā€™m replying to a particular person, itā€™s just not indicated visually. Iā€™m talking about replies where I donā€™t quote or @ the other person, so I worry itā€™s confusing to other people if thatā€™s not visually apparent.

Android 11, latest version of Brave. Thanks!

Thatā€™s how it is if you reply to the very last post in that thread. Letā€™s say, so far A, B, and C have posted in a thread, and C has the last post. And now you want to reply to C.

In such a case, obviously, Discourse does not see a need to give a visual indicator and thinks it is clear enough that your reply (letā€™s call it D) is immediately under C.

Try to reply to A or B instead, and you should see the visual indicator.

Thank you so much for clarifying it, I tried to figure it out on my own and that totally hadnā€™t occurred to me! :pray:

Iā€™m getting some data loading errors:

Some of them in the bottom part only:

Some just donā€™t load at all:

I checked the HTML and ran it through a validator but I cannot find anything obvious that causes these errors.

UPDATE: Somewhat later it did work again but I get such data load errors quite often on html texts and am not sure what causes it.

I am getting the same quite often. It seems the site sometimes takes a lot of time to adjust when switching pages. Also note the discrepancies that occur between what the URL line says and what the breadcrumbs say. It seems the breadcrumbs take a much longer time to orientate themselves to find their way to a new page. (I mean, I can relate. I also have no sense of orientation ā€¦)

I know that @HongDa did already try a lot to fix it, but so far he hasnā€™t been lucky.

Perhaps this rather belongs to this thread for technical bugs. @moderators, could you move it?

Hi @HongDa

I would like to bring to your attention an issue I have been encountering when navigating across suttas when with the Portuguese language on.

The issue is encountered when I try to navigate from a sutta to the next and it seems to occur when I jump from a sutta translated by one translator to a sutta translated by another.

For example, letā€™s say I have landed at the page for AN 3.33: Sāriputtasutta, translated by me and others (suttacentral.net).

When I scroll to the bottom and click on ā€œNidanasuttaā€ at the bottom, the next sutta, I get the following error.

Note that at the address bar we now have https://suttacentral.net/an3.34/pt/null

Note that:
. For AN3.33, there is only a translation by me.
. For AN3,34 there is only a translation by Beisert.

:anjal:
