SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2)
One more thing, the log in page says “ This website users cookies.”

My confirmation mail has been send to two e-mails (mine and an email I don’t know)
Should that be like it? I doubt it

Edit: The second e-mail seems to be from Green_Apple, I can see the e-mail he received if I view the source code of the mail.

Hello everyone,
(I write with google translation, because I’m french, short)

if you have the problem,

I’m at level 2 + Basic, I am with google chrome is displayed if you at the end of loading

<div class="msg msg-error"> <i class="icon-error"></i> User agent not accepted, only secure_user_agent allowed </div>

with firefox

<div class="msg msg-error"> <i class="icon-error"></i> User agent not accepted, only secure_user_agent allowed </div>

Someone could give me a solution

@FuturNuno, have a look over at the Basic+ Level 2 forum. This thread seems to be the most current one.

This thread is for feedback about the new version of the website. :)

The userbar didn’t work well when using it as the signature in any forum. It took forever to load the image. Not sure if I should download and re-upload the image or just use the shortcode below.

@freewind1012 it appears that the leading www. is important for those images so I have added that back in on the settings page. Hopefully that will fix the problem. So using this should work:

https://www.hackthis.co.uk/forum/ (as in the category view) says this thread has 3 pages, but the thread only has 2. I probably ruined it now by posting this post though.

There are some reports about bugs in these levels:
- Basic+ Level 3: Can not use tool (you know that) to send post data. The another way still works well.
- JavaScript Level 5: The script is more difficult to find and to read than it used to be.
- As @ColdIV mentioned above, the link provided in Real Level 1 is the REAL link. Hence, 404 error.

This is not a bug, but a point to talk about.
The times for the msgs and the updates, forum posts and what ever are set in the database with server time, but when displayed it uses computer time, me being in another time area, its much confusing for me!
everything seems to be 12 hours behind :( “12 hours ago”

“Post submitted” message when clicking on a link with “&submitted” or “?submitted” at the end.
Maybe check if there indeed is something being posted to the website and not just if the GET-Parameter is there?

Example:

@ColdIV I have uploaded the image in the FAQ fixing that error. Also redirecting a user to a new page on a successful submission solves a number of annoying problems very simply. However I can see the confusion when that link is then shared to another user. I don’t see a real problem with this but I will have a think about it.

@ADIGA that isn’t meant to be happening. The site should use javascript to change the times to match your systems timezone. I didn’t do much testing but the bits I did indicated that it worked perfectly. I will have a look into it and see if I can sort it out.

@freewind1012 The link in Real 1 has been fixed. The obscurity of the code in JS5 is appropriate considering it is the last of the currest Javascript levels. As for Basic+ 3 it should be working as before.

How about a general rule to cease famous websites' hacking requests (one of those spammers that require Facebook/Instagram accounts etc)? That’d pretty much rule out most of the trash posts wandering around the forum. Say there was a warning system of some sort. Once a member gets a certain number of warnings issued, he could be restricted from posting, for instance. There are a lot of variations associated with this possible new rule.

I’m not sure it’s a bug but I read somewhere that posts with -3 karma or less should be hidden. Here is an exemple with the comment of tanish but not hidden.

I think that there is a bug with the karma.on one post i clicked the up button and it increased the karma by one,the next time I clicked it it increased the karma agin,the next time i clicked it it decreased the kaarma by one.has this happened to anyone else.

@stefanking56: I confirm your doubt. I have just tested with your post. Karma randomly increased from 1 to 9 or decreased from 0 to -5.

Wait a minute… Do I have the ability to give negative karma? :s

Luke [flabbyrabbit]

There is a problem with the Javascript that displays the change in karma. However this in no way effects the real data. On refreshing the page you will see that the karma returns to what it should be, this is simply a display bug. I will try and find a fix, thank you for reporting.

What about Karma for articles? Just thought about it and it might be a nice idea to show whether an article is good or even very good. (I don’t think that “bad” articles would be submitted so it might be enough to have an up-Karma button, or disallow Karma < 0 for articles)

Got a few issues with the inbox full view. The list with all messages to the left can’t be scrolled, so i can only see the latest ~10 conversations, the rest are “hidden” as the sidebar is sticky. However, the page is still as high as if all the messages, and not only those accessible in the sidebar, were on the page (as in the “#undefined-sticky-wrapper” is 7526px high).

When I select a conversation I get scrolled to the very bottom of the page ~7500px down, and have to scroll up. Most likely caused by the #undefined-sticky-wrapper thingy.

Luke [flabbyrabbit]

@verath I have limited the Inbox conversation list to 10 and added a pagination. I have also fixed the auto scrolling to actually go to the right place.

@stefanking56 @freewind1012 I think I have fixed the JS that controls the karma … hopefully this will stop the bug you have been experiencing.

Luke [flabbyrabbit]

@Keeper I am still actively working on the moderator portion of the forum. This is going to include a warning system like the one you have suggested. So when a moderator edits or deletes a post they will be able to optional warn the user, after the second warning the user will automatically be banned for a short period … increasing if they continue to post bad content. Moderators will be encouraged to remove any content requesting hacks on generic websites.

@flabbyrabbit nope it still isn’t fixed :/ Test it for yourself.Click the up arrow a few times and you will notice it.

[deleted user]
10 years ago | edited 10 years ago

2

When I press the up arrow button it changes from 0 to 1 and then if I click the down arrow it changes to a -1 and then if I press the up arrow again it changes to 1 and then if I press the up arrow again it changes back to 0.

Does everyone else also have the same effect when they click the up / down arrow buttons for Karma.

Luke [flabbyrabbit]
10 years ago

@tlotr that is the expected behavior.

@stefanking56 are you talking about clicking on an arrow multiple times quickly?

*********** [ADIGA]
10 years ago

well, it goes like this, when giving a minus karma for the first time its ok, if you give a minus karma again then it rolls back as it was before the first negative karma.
and when giving a positive karma it goes up once, do it again and its rolled back as it was.

[deleted user]

Flabby,

There is definitely something wrong with the arrows. For example I clicked on the up arrow multiple times on your post above and instead of +ve karma it is showing -ve Karma. And now its showing me -18 Karma. I am not changing it back. Request you to please check if you are also able to see the -18 Karma for that post and also request others to check and reply if they also see -18.

[deleted user]

Well it seems to be a bug in the display. Cause now when I see the post again after moving to the homepage and moving back to this thread it now shows the Karma as 0. So I think when I do multiple click on the up or down arrow button I am the only one who is able to see that +ve or -ve Karma and it doesn' t really affects the Karma ratings.

Hi Flabby,

What about the JS Level 5. As soon as I enter the password it redirects me to the levels page (https://www.hackthis.co.uk/levels/). I hope the password is the same as before for JS Level 5 but still does this level suppose to do that if you enter a wrong / correct password.

@tlotr thanks for the reminder. I have updated the level to work properly although you may have to break the cache ctrl+shift+r to get the new file :)

Hi Flabby,

I just cleared my cache and deleted all the cache files for both Firefox and chrome but for some reason its still doing the same thing. It is still redirecting me to the levels page after entering the password. I’ll try rebooting the system once. Also I’ll check it in Internet Explorer as well.

@flabbyrabbit: Please check this user’s profile: @pie . It seems he has earned the Veteran silver medal (Login after being registered for a year). But what happened to his Veteran bronze medal (Login after being registered for a month)? As far as I remember, the system used to reward 2 medals at the same time.

Keeper

One thing I’ve noticed is that couple of times when I am about to post in a thread or publish one, on my first attempt I get “Error making request”. Re-submitting does it however but still would consider it a bug.

Peter [verath]

@Keeper I think it has to do with the CSRF protection token. If you visit the HT forum in a second tab it looks like the token will be recreated, making the value of the first tab invalid, and therefore failing to accept the post.

Keeper

That makes sense. Flabby would probably confirm?

@flabbyrabbit: There’s nothing wrong with my profile (up until now). But there’s something wrong with the way to reward Veteran bronze medal. Check @pie ’s profile. He earned Veteran silver medal but why did he not earn Veteran bronze medal?

Btw, as @fkpuzat mentioned, there are some missing parameters (popular & no-replies) in the URL of Most Popular threads and Threads with no replies. This made us can’t load page 2 of these threads.

The blue bar is there to indicate your progress to the next medal. As there is no medal past 30 the bar stays at 100% when you have logged in more than 30 days in a row.

@Keeper, it appears that the iframe that should be delivering adverts is instead just including HackThis!! Are you running any adblock type add-ons? I am not experiencing this myself.

Thanks @fkpuzat, that is fixed now (might not appear for a few minutes as the CSS might be cached)

Sorry but there are still there https://www.hackthis.co.uk/user/oxide

And the message “No threads found, consider starting your own” appears on the page 5 and 6 of the Main level 1 section. Is there a link with the Watched threads section?

He already told you that the style sheets are cached on your browser thus changes won’t take effect until you flush it.

not sure about this or not, but while the pages load i noticed some contents are served through cloudflare.
is the website protected from DDOS by them?

Thank you @keeper … @fkpuzat I have fixed the pagination on the forum sections to match the new total thread count. I still haven’t fixed the “Watched Threads” link.

@ADIGA they have a nice CDN so a couple of scripts are loaded from there. For example they have the socket.js code which was really slowing things down when it was being loaded from my Node.js server.

Edit: looks like I will need to tweak the auto-detect link parser

@flabbyrabbit: This is not a bug but I have received a lot of emails from HackThis!! since 2 days ago with title “Forum reply”. It seems the system has pushed email for every notification. Please disable this feature. I had to mark email from HackThis!! as spams, you know. :-s

The email notifications are in their infancy. The next update will allow you to choose which notifications you recieve emails for and then in the long run you will be able to opt to recieve a daily summary instead of receiving individual emails. Sorry if you have considered the current emails spam but they are limited to threads that you are interested in (watching).

@freewind1012 the settings page is now available - https://www.hackthis.co.uk/settings/notifications.php

If anyone receives emails for notifications they have disabled please let me know and I will look into it.

Note: PM notifications are not yet working so these emails are not being sent even if they are enabled in your settings.

Should sticky/closed posts be included in the forum view Threads with no replies?

Luke [flabbyrabbit]

I think that sticky and closed threads should not be included in the no replies section. That reminds me the watched threads section still needs fixing.

Good spot on the forum links. The links are generated automatically, a redirect would probably be the easiest solution.

I am not around for the rest of the week but if someone wanted to have a crack and fixing something. Then making a pull request on GitHub would be awesome!

@flabbyrabbit: Please check @prabhujegan’s profile. He has earned Score gold medal (5000+ points) but why does the progress bar and his points not say so?

A number of accounts appear to have not recalculated their scores properly. I will reset your score when I get a chance. I will also write a script to try and determine which accounts do not have the correct score and see how widespread the problem is.

I don’t know if this a bug or it’s been posted before but all the time in IRC the ChatBot is restarting all the time and NexBot will restart if you write !profile somenamehere :)

@prabhujegan your score has been reset so should now be correct. I am still trying to find a way to check all users but it is a bit of a headache … if anyone else feels they have the wrong the score please let me know and I will update them.

@roun512 chatbot has been disabled until I have time to fix him

@freewind1012 good spot, I will try and figure out what is wrong

The Watched Threads bug should now be fixed.

Small nugget of knowledge: you can combine filters by editing the URI e.g. https://www.hackthis.co.uk/forum/?watching&popular

The forum link in Real Level Xmas leads to nowhere because of a bit wrong in URL. There’s a Coding Level 3 discussion thread but… where’s the level? :o

I don’t know if it is a bug but as soon as I post in Crypt Level 6 Online the sentence “12 responses to "Crypt Level 6 Online” changes to “13 responses to "Crypt Level 7 Online”. Strange. Screenshot for reference https://www.filepicker.io/api/file/FZoQCb3RXOHGXaPDi6cF.

Well I’m not actually sure, it’s just what I heard. I briefly remember a post saying the level was missing code.

Luke [flabbyrabbit]

The alert shows so it appears that the code is there … or it wouldn’t appear


@heavenlyMe that is just your browser being too clever but I will see what I can do

@freewind1012 that has been mentioned before, there is no easy fix for this but when I have some time I will sort it out

I just noticed that the tags from the message menu don’t function (meaning that upon clicking they do not appear) when you scroll down below the first message. Check out our conversation, for instance. Not sure what this is due to since I don’t have enough samples and code to troubleshoot.

When I pm a user, the hour displayed is one hour less than the real hour. I think that is because I’m at GMT+1


2

@fkpuzat: Yeah. The system time is using UTC so anyone who doesn’t live in UK (GMT+0) has to get used to it. :p

[deleted user]

So is it a bug? Because when I look the feed section or in the forum the hour on my computer is in agreement with posts, but not in pm.

Cyan Wind [freewind1012]

Yeah, you can call it a bug if you want. I suppose @flabbyrabbit forgot to add some code to convert database time to user’s computer time in Inbox section. He already did it in most of sections. :p

I am starting to move open issues over to GitHub’s issue tracker … this will make it a lot easier to sort through and fix bugs. If you can post issues directly to GitHub (https://github.com/HackThis/hackthis.co.uk/issues) that would be great, if not I will move them over manually…

I am accessing HT!! from my mobile (Android) and I am using google chrome as the web browser. I am unable to open the Page More.Whenever I try to open that page nothing happens. I am not sure if it is a bug or not or I should use someother browser which I will try.

https://github.com/HackThis/hackthis.co.uk/issues/45
When me want to see an user’s post, if there are most than one page in the thread and if the user’s post isn’t on the first page, the link head to the first page.
Here is an example:
Go to flabby’s profile, click on his last comment in “New version bug reports” which is on the page 16. The link heads to the first page: https://www.hackthis.co.uk/forum/general-information/suggestions/3153-new-version-bug-reports#post-23981
And same thing if we edit a post and click on “view thread”.

Hope I helped ;)

For some reason the homepage is showing up this way. Is it been changed or am I only the one who is getting it this way.

I have checked in all three browsers that I have (Firefox, Chrome & Internet Explorer) and in all three it showed up the same way.

@tlotr: I believe @flabbyrabbit has changed a bit of source code to partially display website. You can view more details on GitHub.

Correct as always @freewind1012 the idea is to encourage more users on to the site by allowing them to have a bit of a look around before registering. It has resulted in very small login/registration links so there is still some more work to be done. As the site exploded soon after the update it has not yet been possible to see what affect this has had on the average length of stay/new users.

A little thing happened to me 5 minutes ago. I logged in, saw the green earth with a “1”, I cliked on it and couldn’t see my new notification. Then I cliked on “View More” and I saw a friend request that I accepted.
This is the second time it happens to me. Has this happened to anyone else?

Yesterday I tried to acces HackThis!! on my mobile phone (android). I wrote hackthis.co.uk in the url and hit enter. At first it seems ok but without clicking anywhere it redirects me to a phishing page play.gougle-store.com if I remember.
I tried again and it happened to me about four or five times (with other phishing pages and sometime downloading something on my phone) and after that everything was ok and I could acces HackThis!!

Has this happened to anyone else?

Has this only happened within the last two days? We were trying a new ad provider but have since switched back to Google Ads … hopefully this was the cause or there might be a more serious problem.

The new version of the site has been online for over 3 months so it is about time to close this thread.

If you have any new bug reports please create a new thread for each bug. Also if you want to be extra helpful please create an issue on the HackThis!! GitHub page - https://github.com/HackThis/hackthis.co.uk/issues adding your bug directly to the repo means that it won’t be overlooked and lost in the forum.

I use the site daily and everything seems fine. The only problem I have is occasionally I won’t be notified of any messages or notifications. But that only happens every so often. No biggy… :P
