They will become hard-locked shortly after this, meaning you can no longer post in them.Is the bug causing duplicate posts being addressed?

There is no need to transcribe videos manually!
1 Download the subtitles using
http://www.downsub.com2 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.php4 Strip the srt code using
http://www.gopetsamerica.com/webmaster/srt-to-text-online-converter.aspx5 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!

No. 11677
>>11674Ok 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.
No. 11703
>>11679Yeah, 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.

The spoilered images are acting up in the mobile version, and it has been going for around 5 days for me.
First of all, the spoiler image of pt's ass doesn't show at all, it's just a small square. When clicked, images show like pic related.
Depending on the image you really can't see shit. Especially bad for threads full of NSFW images.

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/732881I did some further investigation as a result:
>>>/ot/732896>>>/ot/732919>>>/ot/732940I'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:

No. 20237
>>20050Its 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

>>33796I suppose
technically but what else can you really do? In my case I'm not browsing without a VPN and sometimes it clashes so I just reset it and in yours I guess it is just unlucky you clashed with a scrote in your area. Sometimes the ban messages I see are funny though.

Could the "extend thread" option be changed to "reply" or similar which will open the thread up in a new tab? I always accidentally click it, especially on mobile, which makes my browser shit itself

When you hide a thread with a webm OP file, the webm does not get hidden, you have to hide it separately before you hide the thread. Would be nice if it got hidden like pics do since we have so many raids.

I want to post a screenshot on a specific thread and this appears, does it happen to somebody else? It doesn't happen with downloaded images and pictures from my phone.

>>55844There was, but not anymore, good riddance. There was a lot of drama involved with it that led to its shutdown. Offsite discords are honestly one of the biggest cancers killing today's imageboards and the lolcord was among the worst.

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.

>>56224>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.
