Title: Weird bug viewing some threads
Post by: XinXan on November 14, 2015, 09:47:18 AM
So this never happened to me before, I clicked on ''reputation'' thread here on meta (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1247841.0) and this is what appeared.

I basically coulnd't see anything on the thread, it works fine refreshing the page once or twice, this has happened 2 times already today, anyone else?

Yeah I have this kind of bug like couple of times per day lately , but it's nothing biggy ... I just refresh the page and I'm ready to go so there is nothing to worry about .

I'm confused. Reputation is within meta, but doesn't show up as a subforum of meta?

Yeah it happens occasionally to me to. I'd say that it is not a problem. This could be caused by a lot of things. I occasionally have problems with some other websites too, but opening them up in other browsers makes them work. We should wait for theymos, he should know why this is happening.

What are you talking about? No it is not. Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Trading Discussion > Reputation; OP posted a link of a thread named Reputation that is in meta.

He was reading this thread.

It's odd, I've never had this happen to me myself. I'd assume something is causing whatever is querying to grab the posts for the thread to hiccup every once in an odd while and that would be why you occasionally see no posts. Odd there's no error to show what's happening, but that isn't that uncommon.

See if you can inspect element next time that happens to you so you can see if an error was generated on your side or if it was entirely server-side.

I will if it happens again but someone else said it happened to him too so I doubt its only on my side, it also happened when viewing someone's profile.

The reputation board is under trading discussions. Not under Meta

If it helps, it happens to me too (occasionally). I have learned to simply refresh the page.

I'm not too sure, but IIRC, theymos mentioned that the ad might have taken too many resources. It may have been for something else, though, so don't quote me on it.

My bad for mentioning the ''reputation'' thread here in meta, seems like some people got confused, I was talking about a thread here in meta called reputation.

I thought it was weird because it has never happened to me before and I wanted to check if it happened to more people, I know about refreshing the page but thanks.

I'm not sure what would cause that. Next time it happens, check the page source and see whether the data is actually missing, or if it's just being hidden by CSS somehow.

Careless use of Adblock Plus's Element Hiding Helper could do that. (Either by you or by EasyList.)

Was having this bug for quite some time, but well , as a simple refresh would make it go away, didn't bother to report it.
As theymos has said it might have been caused by adblock, as I use it on the forum ads. Just got it right now, although when I view the Source, it has nothing missing. Got it on a tab if someone wants to have a look via join.me or something similar.

The data is loaded, just not shown properly.

Hey shorena, did this happen to you before or did it start now? I haven't experienced anymore since I posted that, pretty weird, Im not sure what caused it but it's gone now.

I have this from time to time yes. I suspect it has something to do with one of the many firefox add-ons, most likely ad block as theymos suggested. I just had it again and remembered this thread.
