Thanks for the info, i was wondering what the hell happenend to my profile. I was just getting ready to redo. I thought some one hacked me or something, cause i been getting logged out very frequently. But that's probably due to MAL's bugs.

Thanks for the info, I was wondering what happened... Too bad I saw this right after I re-entered all of the [IMG] 's. but nothing can be done about that now. Thanks for letting us know.

Even if that's true, I wonder...
Why in the blue hell they keep messing with something that is working FINE atm? |I mean, seriously??? Just use a fucking add block and a bit of common sense, and BAM, fixed.
While they could spend time working on all the other CRITICAL issues with the site and actually fixing something, we get this bulshit of bb_code again.
Out of all the suggestions posted on the sub-forum DAILY, all we get is this melodrama over and over again.

Even a college student would do a better job than you people and whoever the monkeys in charge of Crave(TM).
Oh look! We just went down again.

I was looking at the code and wanted to know why it was failing (it looked like it should have worked).

I figured it out. The offending code is in the success method of the ajax call in check_url_post
The variable "imgObj" that is used in the load function gets changed to the last img in the list by the time the image actually loads.

The way to fix it is to re-get the imgObj in error and load. This made it work:


Now that I have posted this, MAL has no excuse to not get this fixed.


Time for a rant...
url_check.php
WTF is this? If you are going to check image URLs server side, DO IT SERVER SIDE. Not in a separate request that takes time and bandwidth to send all image URLs back to the server. This is just stupid. I can understand loading images in the background with javascript to avoid http login prompts in firefox, but this url_check thing is pure idiocy.

I would honestly be surprised if it took them that long, considering the update itself was coded relatively quickly.
Yet last year MAL kept telling that us, but it still took a dam year. Srry mods if i don't take those words for granted anymore. This is going to be 2 months at least. And even then I'm prabbly still far off.

Because everyone uses Adblock and is aware of not putting their info in places that are suspicious... To be honest, you'd be surprised.

Why does this not surprise me?

Since I've joined in 2012, there has been no real new feature. More and more things have been breaking ever since, and the repairs take longer and longer.

I don't want to say this, and I definitely don't want it to be true, but I'll be looking at alternatives (or at least backups) for MAL, such as Anime-Planet, Hummingbird or AniList.

Will the statistics be updated properly after it's fixed?
I'm not sure if you understood, but the img issues and the stats are independent. Once the stats are back up they will start processing again, yes. However, you may need to make a change to your list to trigger your profile stats to update.

xbobx said:

Users being able to post images which trigger fake login pop-ups is not fine. I know that there are many other things that need to be fixed. Trust me, I know. But preventing user accounts from being stolen is very important as well. Blame the individual who is posting these images, along with gore, and forced us into this entire BBcode situation in the first place (albeit, not publicly since there's no need to antagonise him).

xbobx said:

Perhaps this is still unclear, despite my previous posts in other threads: the moderating staff were just as surprised to log on and find this bug as the rest of the community.

First we got banned from MAL than it took 1 week to get unbanned and since Friday we can't let the users login through the API because the new security updates.

We used these past weeks more than 4 workarounds to let users use MAL.

Thanks MAL... why is there a white list if we keep getting banned and blocked?

This is the first I've heard of this issue. Could you come around IRC and let me know what's going on?

Unfortunately, you're best off asking the people who unbanned you that question, since they're the ones banning you.

Posting delay? There's no 'Posting delay' unless you mean the 20 second thing. And that's really no big problem as it helps prevent spam.

If you're referring to when your post doesn't show up after X Time, then that's LAG.

Depending on how many users are currently updating their lists, the stats update can take a few minutes or a few hours. Please wait patiently, your stats will update soon.

With all due respect, in your position as a site administrator and mod, you ppl should not "find out" about this along with the community members. Don't you check what Crave-tan idiots sends to you? Nobody asks them what have they done or what is included in this "update"??
It's almost tradition here at MAL for us users to endure months (or years) of debugging because nobody checks the damn patch before uploading it.
You always says to us that mods and The MAL Staff can't tend to our requests because "it's up to Crave" but when Crave finally comes into play, they just mess stuff up.
I guess it's time to check that contract, is it not?
