Just made some database changes. There shouldn't be any visible changes, but please let me know if anything seems to be horribly broken.

There's something a bit weird about posting YouTube videos here. I run an IP.Board myself and it's always no problem to paste a URL straight from the Chrome address bar, but here it's always posted literally as a hyperlink when I do this. I suspect it's because Chrome seems to automatically turn URLs into hyperlinks when you paste them into compatible WYSIWYG editors like this one.

 

I don't know why my forum's YouTube embed doesn't do this too, but here's my YouTube embed code (which I have customised so it catches more of the various URLs formats YouTube likes to throw at you):

 

YouTube

https?://(www.)?youtube.com/watch\?(\S+?)?v=([\d\w-_]+?)(&\S+?)?
<object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://youtube.com/watch?v=$3?version=3"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://youtube.com/watch?v=$3?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" height="390" wmode="transparent" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

Is anybody else having problems with the style sheet intermittently not loading or something? Sometimes when I'm viewing a thread, I get the text of the posts, but no avatars, site navigation stuff, or reply box. It doesn't happen every time, but it's pretty frequent.

Earlier this morning I lost the ability to navigate to this site from all browsers on my work PC. It's weird because it doesn't bring up the Websense thing indicating that the site has been blocked, it just can't be found.

Can still get here from my phone browser though. Weird.

Looks like everything's working now after not being able to navigate here for most of the day. False alarm I guess?

Do you use the Chrome dev channel by any chance? I've been having that problem on a bunch of sites lately with the current build.

If it helps, shift-refresh usually fixes things for a bit.

I don't know if this is related to the above but I've noticed that I seem to experience the following in Chrome (not any kind of fancy developer version, just the latest regular version) somewhat regularly:

 

No data received

Unable to load the web page because the server sent no data.
Here are some suggestions:
Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.

Is it just me or has the "View New Content" button not been working for a little while?  When I click it it just shows that there's nothing new, on both Firefox and Chrome (and on my phone).

Weird, whenever I click it no matter which computer or browser I'm using I just get "Sorry, no new content found."

 

That happened to me once on Chrome. Updating to the latest stable version fixed it, I think.

Did embedded Youtube videos break for anyone here? I can see what the title of the video is and I can choose to copy and paste the link in the upper right corner, but the preview frame always shows up as black. When I actually press play, it just turns completely black and I can no longer select controls, see the title, or grab the link.

It's not part of the forums, but wasn't sure where else to post this: on the Dota Today page ( http://www.idlethumbs.net/dotatoday ) the bottom left area has "YOUR SEO CONTENT HERE!" (next to the "More Episodes in the Archive" link). On other Dota Today related pages in that area is the following:

 

Dota Today

A Lords Management Podcast

 

Which I'd guess would make sense on the base Dota Today page as well.

Hey guys,

 

I enabled SSL and SPDY on the forums today. Let me know if anything's not working. It's also available on the rest of the site, but it's on by default (yet). Feel free to poke around if you'd like.

 

One known issue on the main site is that our CDN for episode audio doesn't support SSL, so there'll be a warning about insecure content on any page with an audio player (though the players should still work okay). Nothing I can do about that one, unfortunately.

 

Also: The forum homepage won't redirect you to https if you request it via http, but all the links should point to https correctly. The redirect will come soon, once I decide how I want to make that happen in nginx :)

Chrome is giving me an insecure content warning on threads with embedded Youtube videos, also.
