TPU Site issues 2016/17

[W1zzard]

Yes or more specifically I tried posting those pictures here and my FS thread got shut down because the MOD demanded the pictures be uploaded on this site and the uploader keeps doing nothing.

Works for me in Firefox

Mods do not require you to upload on this Site all they require is pictures embeded in thread you can use 3rd party sites as hosts for your pictures
As long as pictures are embedded in thread ( so view able with out leaving Thread/site )..that's good enough

Found the problem, the https frontend was missing a setting to adjust maximum upload size, so big uploads failed. This has been resolved now.

Had a 503 error for a few minutes there trying to connect.. not really much more to offer than that unfortunately

Any reason the TPU android app when clicking on forums takes you to the website version in chrome?

I'll second that.

On top of that there's a bug in it where pressing the Android home button and then the TPU app icon just leads to the app showing a blank page with the TPU logo at the top.

Clicking the logo and then forum shows the forum. However, it's opened another tab in Chrome so I can end up with 20 TPU tabs open very quickly.

I am having issues with pictures displaying in some posts. here is the read out when I attempt to view the picture.

An exception occurred: copy(/home/techpowerup/www/forums/internal_data/image_cache/47/47419-3c858abff68aefb58e57ea114091e12f.data): failed to open stream: Input/output error in /home/techpowerup/www/forums/library/XenForo/Helper/File.php on line 253

Unable to post anything on my pc. Cleared browsing data and cookies did not work. Also i have no drop-down menus on my name, inbox and no drop-down menu on alerts. Using chrome. Im posting this from my phone now.

 

[P4-630]

Now using IE on my PC, which is working.
Just updated chrome still the same problem.

I'm logged in and seeing this at the bottom of a thread, I'm unable to reply, there is no input field:

Weird, it just was suddenly the drop down menus did not work anymore and unable to reply, this on chrome.
Cleared cookies and cache updated chrome, restarted and still the same problems.. Weird.
Using IE now, which I actually don't like using...And I don't want to use FF either.
I hope it will work again soon on chrome.

Also I have noticed in chrome when I click on a member name under "Members Online Now" it links directly to the member's profile page instead of showing a small pop-up of the member.

Edit:

Ok it's fixed now, adblocker plus was the problem, it must have been updated an hour ago or so.
When I disable it the site works as it should.

When I use chrome, I can't see this area, where I am supposed to type. I had to open firefox to respond in here.

 

[W1zzard]

Try turning off adblock

I had the same issue, adblock plus had an update which was causing this.
If you turn of adblock plus the site is working as it should.

Yep, that did it. Made it not run in this domain, problem solved, ty.

Try turning off adblock

Gracias, problem solved.

Same thing happens with uBlock Origin.

The strange thing is, this did not occur for me until I updated my AMD GPU driver today.

Please fix this, it's not AdBlock Plus specifically, this is on your end I think TPU. I'm not having it happen on any other forums. I also think it's worse in Chrome, because in Explorer I could at least log out and back in. In Chrome I couldn't even do the CAPCHA verification. So it appears it's affecting HTML 5 too.

Please note I have not made ANY changes to my browser. The only thing that seemed to trigger it was installing AMD 16.7.1, then 16.7.2 today.

Anyways, I don't make a habit of surfing forums with my ad blocker off, so I'll only be briefly checking in until this is fixed.

 

[DeathtoGnomes]

Cant reply to threads, giving thanks opens a new page to ask to confirm giving thanks.


So is this the cheapway to get users to turn off adblock?

 

[R-T-B]

Meh, you shouldn't be adblocking this site anyways. The ads are mostly unobtrusive, related to the content, and make W1z money.

AdBlock has a whitelist, right? I'd use that.

 

[dorsetknob]

I Run adblocker plus give TPU full request permissions no problems
as Above ^^^^^^

W1zzard needs revenue to provide this Site for us members ( and for his personal demons )
Bills have to be met and Services paid for ( decent hookers cost money ..)

Ps you want to be ADD CRAPPED ON go to the competition Sites

Seriously? This is literally the ONLY gaming site I'm surfing that is doing this. My ad blocker does not cause such problems on any of the other ones, so contrary to your 3rd paragraph, I'm not encountering ANY intrusive ads. I think if they can survive just fine without such measures, so can TPU.

Plus I seem to recall this site has had more than one issue in the past that was ad related as far as tech problems, so how is it that we are supposed to automatically trust them?

I can't think of a hardware review site that doesn't go ad-nuts, to be frank.

That may be a more legitimate concern. Good point.

 

[Frag_Maniac]

I can't think of a hardware review site that doesn't go ad-nuts, to be frank.

Except this is not primarily a "hardware review site". Most here use it as a gaming forum, and that's the context I referred to it as, and compared.

The General Hardware board gets heavily used too, but the vast majority of it is help requests and general chat, not reviews, and most of it is game hardware related.

I mean come on, we all know what "PowerUp" means. You can call it strictly a tech site all you want, but we all know it draws in mostly gamers when it comes to membership.

 

[W1zzard]

Same thing happens with uBlock Origin.

uBlock Origin uses the same blocklists as abp afaik.

They just screwed up with one blocking rule which blocks a lot of things other than banners

"They", meaning the authors of UBlock and AdBlock Plus? Then why did this only start happening now after an AMD driver update? And why is it not happening on any other forums?

Furthermore, even though I'm using the latest version of uBlock, it was last updated June 25, 2016, and as I said, this only started today when I updated my GPU driver. Between June 25 and now I'd been surfing here daily with no such problems.

They're animated which is annoying so I'm forced to block them. Static ads I'd have no problem with and would actually prefer to see them than no ads at all.
