META: MGoBlog 3.1 Bug Sticky
This a thread for any bugs you find on the site after our server migration and Drupal 9 transplant. It will stay atop the message board for a few days while we live beta the site.
Known issues:
- Open Live Writer integration is broken (this is on the server and they're working on it)
- The "Reply" button is missing on the message board.
- The sandwich dropdown menu isn't working in mobile.
- New posts not showing on message board.
Comments made in this thread that aren't relevant (e.g. general complaining, anything regarding ads) might get deleted so it doesn't get cumbersome. Human Element doesn't run the ads on the site so please keep this thread clean from that.

This is about ads so it might get deleted... My complaint is not about the content of the ads or anything, but rather that now when I am viewing the forum on my iphone, the ad that had been at the bottom is now right in the middle of screen (using safari). I don't know if this is something you control, but it makes using the forum very unpleasant.
October 24th, 2022 at 10:55 AM ^
Just responding to myself to say that problem is not occuring anymore.
October 24th, 2022 at 12:00 AM ^
Not sure how long it's been going on, but I noticed that my point total seems to be frozen.
October 25th, 2022 at 11:51 PM ^
Thanks for the upvotes but …
October 26th, 2022 at 4:48 PM ^
Yep same

UFRs remain near unreadable on mobile with either Chrome or Safari. Page crashes constantly and can’t load video embeds.
November 13th, 2022 at 12:26 AM ^
The topics on the board are all "stuck." It's not pushing the newest to the top.
Also, can we PLEASE get some kind of notification counter at the top when someone responds directly to your post?

For some reason my password never seems to save on your side. I'll change it, it gets accepted. I log out and log back in, and I get Unrecognized username or password. I've been having to use "reset password" just to be able to log into the site.

The bug where the sidebar goes underneath the main content after you comment is back.
I'm on the most updated version of Chrome.
No, I didn't take a screenshot, because it's acting the same way it has since this first occurred years ago.
***EDIT***
And it just did it again when I posted this.

“Mobile app” is redirecting me to the App Store to download some betting app. Like when the site loads and then the ad loads, I’m taken to the App Store. iOS
I’m having a hard time loading up the site (once I get it to load it’s fine) if I don’t entirely log out of the site and delete my browsing history. If I don’t, the site won’t load for me. This has happened on Safari and Chrome. Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.
Yes, I am having the same issue but only on Safari with my iPhone. It won't load. Never had any issue in the past whatsoever. Everything is fine using Chrome on my PC.
EDIT: I just was able to load the site on my phone with Safari!
I have this on my iPad iOS 16.5.1c using Safari, but not Chrome (what I am using now). I do not have this problem on iPhone, Safari, iOS 16.5.1c. Have logged out, cleared cache/history, nada. would love some help with this.
[Note: miraculously cured as of 7/21. Hail!]
I can not load mgoblog in chrome on my iphone 13. It stopped working about a week ago. It half (1/3) loads according to the loading bar and then freezes on a white screen.
Left a comment and the Diaries and Board columns came unstuck from the right side of the screen and moved to the bottom left.
So, the same issue that has been around since the big rebuild.
Ads on the top bar of the mobile site (which I generally prefer for positioning) however the pop up is obscuring the menu bar and preventing me from navigating to the board.
September 16th, 2023 at 9:20 PM ^
Can’t load the site on mobile browser at all. This has been going on for 2-3 weeks and now on the app this is what I’m seeing. Up and downvotes are huge, the drop down menu won’t work. It takes ages to load as well. It is sometimes 5 minutes before it will load past a completely white screen.
September 19th, 2023 at 8:45 AM ^
I had the same problem and fixed it by clearing my cache.
September 21st, 2023 at 11:50 AM ^
New development on mobile (safari): Full page interstitial ads that you have to click out of just to access the board.
October 13th, 2023 at 11:48 AM ^
I haven't been able to load Mgoblog on my iPad for the last 4-5 days. Restarted it too, which I almost never do. Somebody on this thread suggested to clear my cache, but I have no idea how to do that on an iPad.
Oddly, the site is running fine on my iPhone running the same version of iOS -- 16.6.1
About a year ago when we were having the same problems, mods recommended running the mgoblog app. That helped a little bit at the time. I searched for the app on the store and didn't see it and don't remember how I did it before.
Help?
October 14th, 2023 at 9:20 AM ^
And now, just this morning, for the first time in a week my iPad is seemingly out of Mgoblog Purgatory and the site is running like a top.
November 7th, 2023 at 8:22 AM ^
If your issues returns, the instructions can be found under "Usefull Stuff: Progressive Webapp" in the menu on the top, or here: https://mgoblog.com/install

Games won counter is incorrect again (as of 10/26/2023 11:35am ET). It is displaying 996 instead of 997. I believe it was correctly displaying 997 a few days ago?
October 30th, 2023 at 8:22 AM ^
I noticed it is 997 when not logged in, but 996 when logged in.
November 8th, 2023 at 9:46 PM ^
I think this is a known issue but I am still unable to find my posts in threads longer than 12 replies. Being a bit sarcastic here, but man this message board format is still rough. When I click my name and view activity or whatever 90% of the time when I click my comment, it just takes me to the first page of the thread that has 400 comments and it’s impossible to find. Maybe 1 out of 10 times clicking that takes me to my actual post where I can see replies. Am I doing something wrong? I make witty and important replies and I demand to see if anyone replies to me!!!!
November 10th, 2023 at 1:53 PM ^
Same problem on my end. And yes, it is super frustrating!
November 10th, 2023 at 1:54 PM ^
Points appear to be broken again.
Not complaining too much, seeing as the Signgate situation has led to an approximate 3000 pt increase for me in the past several weeks.
November 11th, 2023 at 9:07 PM ^
Points out for me as well.
November 14th, 2023 at 3:22 PM ^
Points appear to be working again!
November 20th, 2023 at 8:09 PM ^
Ahoy! I can't upvote folks.

Seth discusses it in depth here:
https://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/meta-drupal-10
For most, the solution involves clearing the cache on your browser and/or the MGoBlog app.
November 21st, 2023 at 12:26 AM ^
Hmm. Thanks a bunch; just did this, but maybe I need to restart the computer before it takes effect.
November 21st, 2023 at 2:17 PM ^
FYI, This worked on my Android but not on my iPhone. It still doesn't function outside of the homescreen
November 21st, 2023 at 6:48 AM ^
On iPhone in Safari post-Drupal 10 update. The bar at the top (with the menu for clicking over to mgoboard, the search, and login) is not clickable except for the “mgoblog” logo.
November 21st, 2023 at 6:50 AM ^
Using mobile site (Android Google Chrome), I can no longer use the drop down buttons (menu with site links and profile button for creating content) since the latest update. Tried "desktop version" on same browser and no difference.
Update: can still create content when navigating directly to the "add node" web address, but buttons still not working at top of site (also the search button).
November 21st, 2023 at 11:05 AM ^
Not sure if I'm creating a memory, but didn't the bar with "Home" "Football" "Basketball" used to follow you as you scrolled down the screen? Without that, you get stuck at the bottom without anything to click on to take you back to all of those links.
Basically, what I'm saying is that a "HOME" button (disguised behind the logo perhaps?) would make site navigation more seamless.

Unable to upvote, down vote or view my profile on Android app and on brave browser
November 21st, 2023 at 3:09 PM ^
Since the recent (yesterday?) update, the menu or toolbar at the top (about, contact, mgoboard, etc) doesn't drop down to where you are in a topic.
That was pretty handy for navigation on the board -- easy to go back to the topic list -- and I hope it comes back.....
[EDIT TO ADD: This is for laptop navigation, and I'm using Chrome]

As far as I can tell, the only way to access diaries on mobile is to scroll to the bottom of a board post and click on them there. Is there a way to add diaries as a menu item so that they are easily accessible?
February 1st, 2024 at 9:26 PM ^
I can no longer post a saved picture in a comment. I get an “about:blank” address with the new window.
February 2nd, 2024 at 8:40 AM ^
My points have been frozen since 1/27, along with the activity stuff.
February 13th, 2024 at 11:51 AM ^
Looks like the embed button is gone. Maybe it's just me.
February 13th, 2024 at 12:00 PM ^
Yep.
It gone.
The RSS feed at mgoblog.com/fbfeed is invalid - the XML contains " " which is not a valid/defined XML entity.
I've been having problems all day with the MGoBlog website too, ever since this morning shortly after facebook and Instagram had their outages.
Hi. Got an error message earlier in the day that the site was down then a quick message about an internal database issue. Site is obviously back up but I now get an indication that my active threads page cannot be found. My posts are still there, problem seems to be localized to displaying the active threads page.
The new box for typing comments/post is very frustrating on mobile (Android phone, Google Chrome). Not sure if due to phone's autocorrect, but typing out words has the cursor jumping, words autofilling or repeating when simply typing one letter, and just general strange behavior. Very irritating and was never like this before the April 10 update. Took 5min to get this correctly typed when previously would take 30sec.

My ability to post dank memes using the "Insert images using Imce File Manager" feature is no bueno.
Can no longer insert images. They upload in the file manager but they don’t insert anymore. The file name doesn’t show up in the source code after inserting
April 13th, 2024 at 11:34 AM ^
Same experience on multiple computers and browsers.
