SuttaCentral: bug reports

Bhante, I believe Bhikkhu Sunyo meant the most widely used desktop operating system in the world, installed on 76×76=58% of desktop computers and which will be supported by Microsoft until October 2025. I don’t think he meant the 2016 Windows Phone OS of the same name (Did you Bhante @Sunyo ?)

I hate to say it too, bhante, but I did try Chrome and a fresh install of Brave (Chromium), and it didn’t work any better. (I’m not sure if it also slowed down the site as well. I didn’t test that.)

I’m not sure how Firefox and Windows 10 would be niche. Considering that Chrome also didn’t work, I think it’s not the browser that’s the problem. And Windows 10, as Khemarato said, isn’t exactly rare. (You’re right @Khemarato.bhikkhu, it’s the desktop version.)

I tried downloading it on a different network, tried clearing cache, tried different browsers with fresh installs. Nothing works. I tried it on Chrome for Android as well, and that didn’t work either.

Cool, but looks more trouble than it’s worth. :smiling_face: Considering the legacy edition does do very well what I personally need, and that I’m geeky but not that geeky. :disguised_face:

I wouldn’t mind if this redbean thing was the only way to get it to work. The bottom line is, though, that the offline function clearly doesn’t work for a great percentage of people. But it is presented, as Ven Buddho said, as a major feature of the site.

I mentioned this a while back and I think you solved it elsewhere:

The font you use has an imperceptible pixel or two below base-line on some characters that causes underlines to be broken. This is on FireFox, which I know you don’t always care about supporting. But I thought I would mention it.

It looks like the individual edition pages don’t have proper page titles?

In the “site” essays, Sutta references are generally links, but there is no indication for the reader to know this:

I was reading MN109 and opened a new tab to read DN15
I typed https://suttacentral.net/en/dn15 into the address bar and it loaded up the content for MN109 :thinking: Obviously I typed the address wrong, but I would have rather an error than a randomish sutta.

What happens if you ctrl shift R?

It doesn’t seem like a random sutta but the last sutta you had viewed?

EDIT: Sorry, nevermind. I now see they typo in your url. BTW, I was able to recreate your experience.

I refreshed cmd+r :green_apple: and it still didn’t throw me an error… which is all I’m after :slight_smile:

Latest edit: all working again! Not deleting post in the off chance it’s helpful in future.


sk40 isn’t loading for me on either firefox 108.0.2 or chrome 100.0.4896.75 on Mac OSX 10.14. Other pages are loading just fine. This is the console message in firefox:

Edit: most other pages are loading fine. sk39, sk42, sk44, sk45, sk46 are also not loading.

I followed an old link to the download page:

https://suttacentral.net/downloads?view=normal

And it took me to a blank page:

Perhaps it could forward to the editions page now?

(BTW, I tried a hard refresh and still got this blank page)

I don’t know if this is a feature or a bug. I clicked on this link in another post:

The link itself designates the language: &script=Devanagari.

After visiting that link, now all the suttas I go to are in Devanagri. To me, this is a big error. Especially since when I go to change it back to Roman I am faced with an overwhelming number of cryptic choices:

How in the world am I supposed to know which one of these I had been using for the last 3 years?

And why would I expect that clicking on someone else’s link would change my default settings? Being able to link to a page with specific settings is awesome. However it doesn’t make sense that it would change my defaults.

It’s Latin that you have to select, not Roman.

Wow. That’s even more confusing.

Perhaps this is a better place to continue from here:

as it does not only concern one specific language.

@HongDa, thanks so much for adding all the localization terms! But something seems to have gone wrong. The footer currently looks like this, both in Chrome and in Firefox:


A little later
It seems to have gone back to normal now—or actually, it seems to switch between the two.

The link to this publication doesn’t work anymore:

You can find this by going here for example and then check the ‘Info’ (i)
