not really an issue but the spaces between the attached file metadata fields are different compared to before: there used to be a comma and a space and now there is just a comma as delimiter. not a big deal or anything but noticed so thought i'd report!

I'm not sure what happened here but this showed up at the bottom of a page suddenly and I laughed my ass off. It linked to the pro-ana thread and at the corner of my screen was another icon I couldn't see but clicked on which took me to the shayna thread. I hope this is a new feature for "ads" for other threads but I think it messed up in execution

We haven't been able to replicate this issue. Can you please either email one of the images you were trying to upload to admin@lolcow.farm or upload the image to imgur or somewhere similar and post the URL here? It will be much easier to resolve with an image to use for testing.

The post flood timer was reverted to exactly how it was before Hellweek, so it should be behaving how it has been for years. We'll look into it and make sure it is functioning correctly though. As an aside, if you're trying to post the exact same text as one of your recent posts (same IP) the timer is much longer (5 minutes).

The image posts fine for me, but it may be that Imgur stripped something out that was causing the issue. If you save the image from Imgur and try and post it here does it work for you? Were all the .png files that were causing the problem screenshots, or was it any .png image?

It's always screenshots. When I take a screenshot on my laptop, it makes the image into a .png and usually that's what I'll upload to lc. I used to be able to post them no problem from before the update, which is what makes it weird to me.

I made another change, can you try again now? The reason why is because when we updated all the packages etc. running on the server, the package that processes images was also updated and it added new checks that it didn't previously have (causing the error).

I got picrel while trying to post a mp4. The mp4 is 1:55 minutes long and is 9.96 MB. I tried posting with and without my commentary to no avail. I know there was a video issue but I was able to post a 25 sec mp4 a couple days ago. I'm wondering if it is due to time length.

Can you scroll to the top of a thread where you are having this issue and check whether this link (picrel) in the top right says "show" or "hide"? If it says "Show", press it and the hidden posts should come back. Let us know if that doesn't work!

I get a long time even when I've changed the post to fix or add something, but regardless can you change the message to reflect how long you actually have to wait? It's a little annoying trying to figure if I have to wait 30 seconds or 5 minutes

Hi farmhands/admin, I randomly received a pop up when I tried to post that said I was banned, and when I clicked ok it took me to this page I’ve never seen before (picrel) saying it was a glitch. But the problem is, my glitch ban seems to be permanent and so the whole site is flipped to farmcow. I know the instructions say to email but I wanted to post so if this happens to anyone else, they can see my post and know it’s happening to other people.
To be honest I don’t feel like setting up a burner e-mail for this to get my ban lifted (am ban evading now kek but I don’t like to do it) so I guess this is goodbye for now and I hope it just reverts eventually or something, idk.

They always look like this, don't they?

What if you've cleared them and the mirroring is still happening?

I have this very message for ban filed on march 2021….I cleaned the cookies and I have no idea why the ban. It's an old one too which seems odd. Even weirder since I can post just fine and I don't seem to be actually banned?

Dynamic IP? You probably caught an old ban meant for someone else who was using that IP at the time.
