Bulbawiki site issues thread

And that makes it okay?

No. Just not as severe as the site being down for everyone.

Nuthin' appears to be wrong with the site for me, currently.

Good to hear.

I've also just started having problems with 'pedia again after having no issues for a few weeks... it works ok when I'm not logged in but when I do log in it's just a sea of 503s...

For some reason, when I try to open Bulbapedia or the archives, all I get is this:

This particular issue should be resolved as of roughly 15 hours ago, please let me know if you're still experiencing anything like this.

No issues now.

Made an account on Bulbapedia yesterday. I never received an e-mail confirmation code. When I try to hit "Mail a confirmation code" I'm hit with this error: HTTP ERROR 500. The error page says that Bulbapedia was unable to handle the request. I tried again today and had the same result.

Our tech is currently working to resolve these issues. Things should be fixed sometime this week.

Just FYI the Twitter widget on the 'pedia homepage is broken.

The widget appears to be working correctly now, but please let us know if you notice any more issues. The error appeared somewhat inconsistently.

Just letting people know the problem preventing email confirmation for new users is still persisting. Any clue when this will be fixed? Thanks.

Will something be done about the image fetching issues? Sometimes, even repeated reloading doesn't work.

 

[Archaic]

Both issues are being actively worked on.

Still having issues with images not loading and refreshing doesn't always work. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if this issue isn't resolved before 2022 is done.

Getting a lot of 504 Gateway Time-Outs lately. Bulbapedia's been super slow since the issues a few months ago but until today it wasn't so slow as to give a 504.

I can't get the search bar on Bulbapedia to work on mobile. Whenever I tap the magnifying glass icon, nothing happens. This happened yesterday too. I haven't checked to see if this is also happening on desktop.

Seriously considering activating my ad-blocker for Bulbawiki... considering its super annoying i can't read half the text because of three massive ads covering half the screen.

Like... i understand you need the ads, but to have them cover the screen and as such make the reading on the site and the site with that pointless as a whole, detracts from the user experience.

But if people need to activate ad-blockers to even be able to read, it makes the ads pointless as well... since then nobody will see them.

In Archives, sometimes when I view an image, the site seems to think I'm logged out. Yet, if I try to view the source or leave the file, I'm logged in again.

I didn't know where to put this, but browsing Bulbapedia on mobile is a pain because of all the ads. I understand ads keep Bulbapedia up and running, but isn't this a bit excessive?

Create an account and log in.

I brought Sobble's ad report to the attention of our ad partners, as they appeared to be seeing more ads on their screen than intended.

Hiya! I've been making a spread sheet that contains hidden abilities for all the mons, and I noticed that the Braviary page says the Hisuain version is Tilted Lens but the Hidden Ability list page says Defiant for it. I believe both of them should be Defiant? Just wanted to point it out!
