Tavern on the Meta

I remember Math.SE Chat looking like this: From web.archive.org: Now, it looks like this: To be exact, the logo changed from this: to this: From the sources, it seems like apple-touch-icon.png replaced logo.png. I don't think this is intentional. Is it?

@soupless ohh, that's a design bug, and you were lucky enough to have it officially under review, most bugs don't get even that.

As for a fix..... well, don't hold your breath.

Can take few years.

soupless

Wait, I'm lucky?

I didn't know that having it under review like that is lucky.

@soupless very. 850 design bugs that never got it even to review.

Some way more "serious" than just a big logo, but meh..... that's just how Meta works.

Mods/Staff pick bugs randomly (?) to put under review, and rate of actual bug fix is about 1-2 bugs every week, in average.

Developers are just very busy with more important things, which is expected in a big company with limited resources.

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 I mean non critical bugs, like design bugs. Bug that actually affect usability of the site is usually fixed in few hours or days.

Does it also happen to you, @ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 ?

@soupless yes, the big logo is served to everyone, it's not browser specific.

Like you said, the bug is using a different picture as the logo, apple-touch-icon.png instead of logo.png. If I manually change (locally) back, the page looks just fine:

Developers are making a lot of small changes, and sometimes forget/fail to check all possible outcomes.

Hmm same every time which means..... same random seed...

Anyway, what am I missing here? Looks like decent answer, not copied or trolling, why three downvotes? @Journeyman any insights?

(not that I care much, but if I'm missing something, would like to know so I'll revert my vote)

Journeyman Geek

It seems wierdly generic

There's a certain lack of SE user perspective there.

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@JourneymanGeek because they're new, and just giving their personal advice, which appears legit and fine.

Maybe not great, but... good start?

Many just copy from other answers, or even from external sites, but I've looked around and this one appears to be original writing.

soupless

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 I tried using Stylus to change the appearance, and before I posted it, I hesitated a little because I thought it is just on my side.

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@soupless sure, some bugs are indeed specific to certain browsers, or result of local userscript, etc. All good.

I used it for the chat in Math.SE. It does not look good here though because I used the most exciting method: brute force.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 maybe but as a FAQ - it might confuse others

I wouldn't say it's a great start

soupless

8:47 AM

@JourneymanGeek What can you say about what I did?

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

9:06 AM

@soupless brute force usually works, but leave some marks, yeah.

:D

bad_coder

I'm under the impression the community team thread is visually broken. Can someone fix it?

Journeyman Geek

@soupless well and that's the point of meta 😅

soupless

@JourneymanGeek What I mean is the image that I sent. Any comments?

I don't know anymore if it is a bug or support. Maybe both tags should be used?

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

9:25 AM

@soupless what exactly is bug or support?

@bad_coder fix what? What is broken about it? I don't see anything wrong.

Maybe your ISP/country block imgur.com in which case you'll indeed see only broken images.

Nothing SE can do about it...

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Done, less smokey now.

Must manually supply additional line now.

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 The post I made. I used the bug tag, then the question was retagged as support. It is now tagged as a bug.

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 it used to have all the flairs rendering as images, now only half render for me the other half are just URLs... Or am I remembering this wrong?

@bad_coder this is an issue reported before I think

@Luuklag if it is I can't remember from memory having seen it (and I've read most threads posted this year).

Q: Combined profiles flair image is not found

I display my combined flair on my profile page. But I noticed that it's broken. When I go to profile setting -> flair I see that all my flairs work other than the combined flair. Here is my combined flair: Meta flair setting page. Stack Overflow flair setting page. My current profile: Whe...

@Luuklag KylePollard said "Likely not a CDN issue, we did some initial investigation today and narrowed it down to an exception on a minority of our servers.". Yeah this is only going to affect some users locally (funny thing, the post rendered right for me just a few days ago).

@Luuklag thanks for finding the bug report. This explains it.

@KylePollard the issue still seems to be around. Any guesses on when this might get fixed? — Luuklag 8 mins ago

@Rob good! :)

@soupless @Sonic was wrong to remove the bug tag, no idea why he did it. I put the tag back, this is classic bug.

And having status review proves it, support question can't have such tag.

@bad_coder something with location, yeah. Not imgur issue, the flairs are served from SE domain itself, so I believe it's CloudFlare issue.

@Luuklag Still in the shop. Needs a fuel pump, which isn't the cheapest item but certainly isn't the most expensive fix it could've needed.

The tech ordered it yesterday and said it should be here today. He didn't make any promises about when he would be able to install it though.

Luuklag

Good luck with that then

Thank you :)

Introducing Content Health, a new way to keep the knowledge base up-to-date

We’re thrilled to announce a new and foundational feature, Content Health, that helps to intelligently identify and surface potentially outdated or inaccurate knowledge—content that needs to change.

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 @soupless The question was phrased as "is this a bug?", and wasn't reporting it as a bug. The support tag is for questions which you aren't sure are bugs; possible-bug is a synonym of that.
