System Bugs

posted by janrinok on Wednesday December 07 2022, @10:05AM   Printer-friendly

We are aware of several bugs in the system at the moment, including the lack of a journal index on the front page, and the failure to update modpoints daily. Thank you to all of those bringing them to our attention. Please continue to do so as you may be the first person to see something going wrong.

Unfortunately, NCommander is currently unavailable to fix these immediately but he is aware of them. He is occupied with real world issues and currently has a very limited internet connection. He will fix them as soon as is possible and we ask that you be patient. It is less than ideal but unfortunately we have no other option.

    Is the RSS feed down for anyone else? My feed via ighome.com stopped working right about the time all the recent site stuff started.

        OK, there are two different RSS feeds - it seems that one at least is still working.

          Looking at it for the first time in ages, apparently SN has a widget on ighome that isn't working. The RSS feed does function as expected though.

    https://soylentnews.org/index.rss seems to be working, I was mistaken. The 'other' feed is the one that is linked to IRC, and that one is still down.

      There is also an Atom Feed: https://soylentnews.org/index.atom [soylentnews.org]
      This is the more modern protocol then RSS1/RSS2.

      For Firefox users then Addon RSSPreview [mozilla.org] brings back the feed icon into the URL bar. It even has settings to e.g. open the feed in a new tab and with "Use color icon in address bar" show the shiny orange icon to easily spot if a site has a feed or not.
