That's not true. Per the Usage Info page

>Boards have unlimited pages and threads allow 1200 posts. All threads will "bump-lock" shortly before 1200 posts. This means further posts will no longer bump a thread. They will become hard-locked shortly after this, meaning you can no longer post in them.

Could Admin post a notice regarding the 504 server error that is resulting in multiple posts? It is leading to infighting and wasted comments discussing it in various threads.

There is no need to transcribe videos manually!

1 Download the subtitles using http://www.downsub.com

2 Change the file extension to txt and open it in a text editor app

3 Strip the html code using http://www.zubrag.com/tools/html-tags-stripper.php

4 Strip the srt code using http://www.gopetsamerica.com/webmaster/srt-to-text-online-converter.aspx

5 Edit the text for word accuracy and to add punctuation and numerals (numbers are stripped in step 4). The auto generated subtitles are surprisingly accurate, depending on the person's enunciation. You may not even need to listen to the video.

I hope the other transcript anons find this helpful!

PLEASE USE ARCHIVE SITES

http://www.archive.is

Not only because screenshots can be faked but because the timestamps on them often do not include the date and do not use UTC (screenshots taken in different timezones have different timestamps).

Be aware that the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine will delist webpages upon request of the site owner.

Lately my browser has been preventing me from connecting to lolcow because "the connection is unprotected". Is that a technical issue? Was I banned?
Whenever I try to post from Tor, my ip is either banned already or banned immidiately after posting.
Did I just fuck up that royally or something?

No. 11677

>>11674
Ok so. I am a dumbass, I did some digging.

Apparently lolcow is being blocked by my internet provider, which means it is currently blocked in Russia by our fucking "child protection" censorship laws, ha.
The blocked IPs from what I was able to glean seem to be 104.24.97.138 and 104.24.96.138 with a clear link to exactly one picture in /ot/src/1461589485236.jpeg which shows graphic self-harm which by our laws would be "suicide propaganda"

The exact error I am getting though is not the usual "blocked by your provider because of the laws blah blah", but the Firefox error MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT with cert assigned by the website that traces back to my internet provider.

It is just peculiar to the max, but well, we got some tumblt IPs blocked in the same bunch so that the website is entirely unusable now.

I doubt you can do anything about it, but well, just letting you know. These restrictions usually vary in time of them being rolled out from one internet provider to another, but you might notice a loss in your russian users. There's probably not that many of us and it all still works through vpn or tor (though every time I attempt to use tor, I get banned and vpns are incredibly slow), but still, a heads-up I guess.

Yeah, I really don't know if you could have done anything about this, since the system is still very clearly broken even after being implemented for years.
Good to know they at least contacted you, but knowing they did it in russian makes me irked even more. Surely they must realise that russian is not a language people just… know. Finding people who can adequately translate from it is fairly hard too.
I wonder if tumblr got hit by the same thing and couldn't act in time.
This is honestly very shitty since most russian imageboards stay up and they post much worse shit daily.

But eh. At this point I am just sperging about what a backwards country this is.
Thanks for answering anyways!

I can leave a way to contact me in case you will need a russian translation in the future, but I don't really know if you can do anything once you're blocked.

I'm having trouble with spoilered images. The spoiler image itself doesn't show up, I just see a gray box. When I tap it, it loads briefly then shows a smaller, dimmed version of whatever the image is. like it's being hovered over on desktop or something, it's got a gray shadow over the whole thing making it impossible to see details. I've been having to open all spoilered images in their own tabs to view them in full size/colors actually visible (which is horrible to deal with on threads like Shayna's)

Let's say I'm looking to check in on a particular thread in /g/, for example. Maybe I had previously posted something I was waiting for a reply to. But since I find /g/ entertaining enough to scroll through, I usually start on lolcow.farm/g/ and find the thread by scrolling through /g/ instead of just using a specific thread bookmark. I know the thread shouldn't have gotten too buried since it was recently active, but it's not on the first or second pages. Weird. I continue to the third and fourth, no dice. Then I run back through all four pages until i get to the first again, just to double check. Nada.

I use VPN and yesterday got perma banned for unknown reason, don't think i've done anything worth a ban. The date is old it says January 2020. First time having this problem, changed IP and tested it making like 2 posts and got banned again, this time date says 2018. This will probably be seen as ban evading etc. but this simply surprised me. VPNs IPs can be used by different people, maybe someone else posted here, maybe i don't understand what's wrong but it literally was a normal comment, sage and all. I'm on different ip now. Sorry for all the idiocy, idk what to do, jump from ip to ip or contact admin?

I uncovered an unusual quirk in regards to how lolcow.farm handles image uploads from devices that embed ICC profiles into PNG files. Obviously this isn't a critical issue that needs addressing immediately, but it's something that I noticed and had to look into.

One anon uploaded a screenshot taken on her Macbook. As a result, another anon noticed that the thumbnail and fullsize image have visibly different colours, with the thumbnail image being "warmer":
>>>/ot/732881

I did some further investigation as a result:
>>>/ot/732896
>>>/ot/732919
>>>/ot/732940

I'm only making assumptions here, but TL;DR, I suspect that the way lolcow.farms generates thumbnails for images with embedded ICC profiles results in a thumbnail with an improperly stripped colour profile, resulting in thumbnails that have warped colour profiles that do not reflect what is seen in the original image.

I even managed to prove that stripping the colour profile results in an image with incorrect colours. I ran the following command with ImageMagick locally, where my input image is the original image with the weird colour discrepancies:

>$ convert +profile '!exif,*' 1612736313341.png out.png


Picrel shows my results. This shit boggles my mind. I hate computers, honestly.

Its because its forces a large file into a thumbnail preview, the same way a computer or phone will process showing a gallery of thumbnails over one image filly expanded.

Its just because the pixels reduce to show the thumbnail preview as best as posdible, but with a smaller resolution because of the compressed size before you expand the image.

Its not that deep, anon. It's just how pixels work

why does deleting a post make the site lose its shit? if I post something and then delete it the entire site freezes, then starts jumping around up and down the page, registering random clicks that I did not input (which is annoying as hell when it posts an unsaged, empty reply when I was nowhere near the reply button), and generally slows down to dead until I give up and close the tab for an hour.

I don't understand, it didn't used to happen but now it's all the time and is incredibly frustrating. I'm not trying to complain or demand a fix, I'm just wondering why it happens in the first place. No idea how it happens or how/if it even could be fixed.

I've tried multiple browsers, cleared all browser history/cookies/caches, restarted phone, with and without WiFi, with and without VPN, I've tried everything I can think of short of factory resetting my phone (lolcow is not worth that bother) and now it happens just trying to write a post without even deleting anything. just using the website normally. it took me 20 minutes to type one one-sentence reply before I gave up, because it froze solid for 3 minutes

again not even really sure what I'm looking for, the site just tweaks out randomly like 10% of the time, this is the only thread I can think of documenting it in in case other anons experience it too by chance

I always have a VPN turned on when I'm connected to the internet and while I try to turn it off to post since its IPs are usually already permabanned, I think I got hit with a permaban for it at one point or another. However even when having the VPN turned off, despite banned.php saying that I'm not currently banned, I still get redirected to farmcow.lol. It doesn't seem to be an IP issue as I can browse normally from my phone. I've cleared cookies for lolcow.farm but it still just keeps redirecting me to farmcow. Any pointers on what else I can try?

not a farmhand but I always put a reason, there's only space for a few words but I think it helps add context, for example alert farmhands to a spammer which might not be obvious from the post alone, and saves them needing to check the threads for context (e.g. retarded spammer scrote, unsaged whiteknighting etc are good enough explanations)

Is it possible to appeal this through admin email instead of the default?

A feature I think should be implemented is the option to disable the "hover to show/enlarge images" feature. Especially when you have hidden the image. I think the hover feature is great, but whenever this site gets hit with cp, I have to be extremely careful when reporting to not accidentally hover over it.

The only thing I hate more than asking dumb questions is doing dumb things, so:

I want to make a post with 3 images, with text in between. I read the short tech how-to info page and searched the site as well, but I'm just not finding the answers I'm looking for:

Can I do this (so the photos are at different places in the comment)?

These images are from websites (not my own photos/screenshots). Can I get them here without having to dl to my phone then inserting them as files? I'd rather keep my devices out of it.

I saw that it was permissible to paste in an imgur address. I tried that but pasting the link into the regular comment box just appears as a link rather than embedded images or previews.

Can I do this? Is there a tool for it I'm somehow blind to? Or is there coding I could type in?

Thx.

>I want to make a post with 3 images, with text in between.
AFAIK, current lcf posts aren't capable of this. If you want to post multiple images at once, you can merge them into 1 and post it in a single post, but that would mean uploading from your device. I’ve seen other anons post images with their text edited in but have not seen what you want done on here. Another option is to make 3 separate posts whilst replying to yourself to continue off from your previous post.

>Can I get them here without having to dl to my phone then inserting them as files? I'd rather keep my devices out of it.

Why you can’t you upload from your device? If you’re worried about metadata, you could always wipe EXIF metadata before posting. I’ve seen other anons screenshot things because they didn’t want to save the image before too. If you really don’t want to save/screenshot those, then the only option you’re left with is to upload links.

>I saw that it was permissible to paste in an imgur address.

>appears as a link rather than embedded images or previews.
I don't believe the link you paste into the “Imgur URL” section is downloaded and used as the image attachment, only hyperlinked/embedded to your post. I don’t believe it’s possible for posts to include “previews” to another site.

Pretty sure this is from the fact that some photo editors now by default leave the original image in the file metadata to allow recovery, which lolcow seems to be unable to handle. To avoid this save your edited image file as a copy and just upload the copy, since the respective metadata is removed.

The issue with not being able to click TikToks that have failed to embed has been fixed. You may need to hard refresh to get these changes (Ctrl + Shift + R in most browsers).

If TikToks are not embedding for you, it is most likely because you are using Firefox, Brave or another browser that has strict privacy protections in it (or are using an extension that adds them). Embedding TikToks will not work on any website for you because TikTok embeds attempt to execute scripts across domains, which is blocked by your browsers Cross-Origin Request protections. Unfortunately that behaviour is outside of our control, as the scripts come from TikTok itself. Some browsers may allow you to disable this on a per-origin basis, in which case you can fix the issue by whitelisting TikTok.

In response to the farmhands dumb, snarky comment "Lurk more and learn how to use the catalog" to an anon wanting to double check if a thread exists before remaking it. The catalogs have 100s of threads in them so they do not load fully and won't always come up when you ctrl+f and it often freezes the page, which is what prompts someone to double-check if a thread exists before making it.

the password is so you can delete only your own posts and not other anons'. usually your browser autofills it and you don't notice it, but on ipad it causes the keyboard to pop up. I've noticed it too

Not sure if this is the right thread for this. If I try to visit /2x/ by typing it into my browser, I get this screen. I've been getting there by clicking a link in a specific thread. Am I retarded? Am I doing something wrong?

After every site update, I can preview images in their full size by hovering my pointer over them (like how 4chan X lets you do it), but it only lasts for a day or two every time. Is there anything I can do bring that back? I like that feature.

Are you using litemode or something? It could be something you're doing to stop it from working. That feature always works for me. What theme do you use?

it would be so based if you finally update the coding or whatever so that spoilered threadpics and threadvids show up as the spoiler img in the catalog. it just looks so janky right now. picrel as an example

Jesus I forgot to check if anyone replied, sorry. I use darkcow if you mean the style, and no, I'm not on litemode. I recently installed a new OS and it's working, but it's also my first time on the site on this install. I expect it to disappear by the next time I boot it up.

I've been having an issue where webm/MP4 uploads and tiktok embeds just won't play anymore on mobile. I don't think it's an issue with my browser or device because I can play these just fine on other sites besides lolcow.

This happened to me the other day while I was posting on /snow/. Convert the image your trying to post to a different image format. So if you're trying to post a png, save the image as a jpg.

Can something be done where when you go back to try to hide a tikok/youtube video, it doesn't force you to go to the website [tiktok/youtube] as a result? I am never able to hide the media and have it actually hide. The hitbox or something is all fucked up.

Is it possible for mods to implement a filtering system where they can instantly temp ban someone if they attempt to post with an emoji, instead of having anons report someone for posting one? Sorry if this is a retarded question, just curious.

>>85923
Is it possible? Yes. Is it possible for current admin, excuse me cerbmin, tech skills? Lol no.

No. 85939

>>85931
Dang. I still hope mods can refine the reporting system at some point. I’d like them to more readily prioritize issues like cp, raids, and anons posting their nudes, while dwindling down the amount of low-priority reporting of newfag behavior. Maybe that could happen by having better post filtering to deter newfags and encourage lurking, instead of relying on anons looking out for anything off. A good start could be instant temp bans and errors for emojis, emoticons, tripfagging, and certain kinds of post formatting/styles.
