Me either which is why I started this one. So many more too....

I think that's how Quick Reply works. It's "add a new post to this thread", not "quote and reply to the latest message", I think?

Something changed because I can get here again and I can get to the end of the Who Loves Costco thread.

ETA: quick reply posts, but just spins for the poster.

I don't have the arguments error anymore!!
thank you

had several “5 arguments required, 4 given” occurrences an hour or so ago (AS, DL, TravelBuzz, CommunityBuzz) … turned phone off and back on, now appears to be ok

this has NOT been a great couple of weeks for FT usability … just sayin’ …

I'll give you an argument! :D

Sorry, had to... I'll see myself out now :o

-J.

LOL!! I was thinking along the lines of “5 arguments required, 4 Fs given” :D

I'm now able to see the last page of the thread and post.

Also seeing this same spinning issue with the Quick Reply function.

The thread that was giving me trouble today is now accessible.

Edited to add: Quick Reply is still not working.

I forgot to make the peripherally relevant World Cup reference a couple days ago

ARG(2) was very well defined — MEX(0) ⚽️⚽️

I still can't see any links to tweets or you tube, it has been a while that is started. I only see the tweets if someone quotes them or I reply. And as like the rest I have to go to the main page to go to the forum then go to the thread that I want to read.

I have tried on 3 browsers and I face the same issue.

I can now open the threads that were giving the 3127 error. Also quick reply is good for me, but that never stopped working. My likes are still a bit undefined:) But thanks to the team for making progress.

Definitely sorted for me now - able to access all the threads that had issues again, including (slightly ironically) this one! I had fun with a PHP8 upgrade myself so can imagine the fun the team had. Also quite interesting to see the surge in posts to this thread as different parts of the world woke up and encountered issues 😂

Quickreply still not working :(

Hmm seems OK for me oliver2002 ? - OK I take that back :D Reply on mobile worked which I thought was quick reply but isn't! Same issue as before ;)

Testing Quick Reply on desktop version, Windows 11, Chrome Version 108.0.5359.72 (Official Build) (64-bit).

Quick reply works, but hangs

FF 107.0 (64-Bit) on Win 10

This might sound like a silly question, but what is the purpose of quick reply? (I've never tried it because the normal reply button has always served me well enough.)

All seems back to normal for me again. Thanks to those involved for sorting it out. :tu:

I think just marginally faster as it doesn't need a full page reload but just (AFAIK) makes a quick AJAX call instead.

post reporting (triangle ! button for notifying mods for inappropriate posts or merge/title change housekeeping requests etc) still resulting in an error in submission:

Error: Undefined constant "css" in ..../global.php(1002) : eval()'d code on line 94

They nevertheless show up in the "Your post reports" link: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/postreports.php

so I think the actual reports are being generated? But maybe a moderator can confirm (I will RBP this post as a test after I post it.)

Your RBP was received.

I thought it was just me, but decided to check out this forum to see if others were encountering it. Started for me last night & continued this morning. I post quick reply & it just spins for me (the poster), but if I open up FT in another tab & go to the thread, it shows the reply has posted. It's quite annoying to do that each time. Occurred as recently as 5 minutes ago (10:50am EDT). Please fix. Using laptop w/ Windows & Chrome.

def not just you; has been a recurring nuisance for a couple days now (Chrome on Del laptop, Safari on iPhone)

Are you accessing the site from an IP located in California or Europe? If so, go to the bottom of the page, click "Manage Preferences" and accept all

I use it almost any time there's a tech issue thread that hasn't gotten any response yet or if everyone is reporting the same issue

What does "accept all" entail? I do use a China IP btw, and have the same issue.

It means that you accept all cookies - in Europe/UK and California we get popups when we access a site for the first time and can choose to accept or decline nonessential cookies. On flyertalk there are quite a few cookies, and none of them are especially tasty. But as you're in China, all your web activity is tracked in many different ways already, VPN or not, so a few cookies from Flyertalk should be the least of your worries.

Note that you can avoid the need to even require users to accept third-party cookies, at least for YouTube, by using www(dot)youtube-nocookie(dot)com instead of the regular version without -nocookie, in the URL. I am not sure if the IB software will automatically rewrite these to the cookied version though. Although since the forum software automatically detects YouTube links and rewrites them into embeds, it would be incrementally trivial to use the nocookie version instead.

This is an officially supported domain by YouTube, which you can verify by clicking on any YouTube video, clicking Share, choosing Embed, then scroll down to the checkboxes and check "Enhanced Privacy Mode" -- you will see the link in the embed code change from youtube to youtube-nocookie.

(My in-development-and-may-never-be-published :p userscript for FT does this conversion automatically.)

I've been in the US (not physically in California; just California IP address) since this latest spate of issues happened. My limited understanding of the California law is that it's designed to alert people about potentially bad things. I have no reason to distrust IB, but I would appreciate assurances that "accept all" doesn't entail sale of personal data, overzealous analytics, etc.

I also don't get the point of "quick reply". so I just tried using it and if anything it wasn't quick. I got the "must wait before posting twice--this is a duplicate" thing. I never get that when I just hit reply. :confused:
Oh well,,,,so many bigger issue on here.

With a Cali IP you will be able to use Manage Preferences to review the rather long list of vendors who may receive anonymised or personally identifable data via cookies that you consent to.

The header to the OneTrust cookie tool says:

Europe but at times with a VPN.

yeah I think that's just with these current issues - normally it is in fairness very quick as no page reload :)

Is this "do not sell my personal information" menu new?

I am having the spinning quick reply problem on Chrome and Edge. I cannot insert a link on Chrome, but it works on Edge. And I still can't use ANY VPN IP from either Express VPN or Private Internet Access.

When I try to submit a quick reply, it just hangs and spins. However it *does* actually submit the post, I just have to refresh the page to see it.

I think it got introduced a few months ago - IB switched their Cookie preferences tool to OneTrust and there was a bit of fallout with various features not quite working after that change, and it took a fews days of back-and-forth on the forum here to determine that it was linked to the new cookie prefs tool. I think the Do not sell thing is specifically a Cali law that they are complying with.

I don't usually use the desktop version but I have set my preferences to not permit any unnecessary cookies.

Wiki editing failing with this error on Win10 Firefox:
In this thread:

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/brit...thread-15.html

Same thing happening on Mac OS Monterey w/ Firefox. I, inadvertently, submitted double posts last night because I didn't realize it was broken.
