Hmm, I had 'exploding-heads' blocked. I unblocked that domain and now I am able to see the old thread I posted while logged in. Very weird.

I still get the error when creating new threads, but they do show up now.

@bybpow
No, definitely not normal. I have been experiencing this for about a week too - but because of the nature of the issue, I'm not sure anyone can see the threads opened to alert people of them.

What is the metric for "greatest sci-fi directors of all time"? It sounds like they're just comparing the most successful old scifi movies. I have a soft spot for some older sci-fi movies, but most old sci-fi film is incredibly corny and not worth wasting time on.

The best sci-fi doesn't come in a single hour and half long film - it comes from season long story archs with several integrating sub plots.
I know there are a lot of gen-X and older out there that like to argue for the self-contained world of episodic Trek, but that format needs to die. It's boring.

Could anyone assist in how to report this problem as an issue on codeberg?

Here is the error I receive.
The post is visible in my profile.
Not visible in the magazine.
Unless I log out, then it IS visible...

I just don't know how to word this to report an issue. It's so strange.

How about we just scrap the ISP instead and start over with a company that can list what they are charging for? This isn't hard. Either it's a legitimate fee or it's not. I have a feeling they just don't want to disclose that they have been ripping people off for a few extra bucks every bill for the last decade.

I thought that was what we were talking about to begin with? It's him, he tried to do the rigging.

I was going to open an issue on codeberg; but 1) my account there isn't letting me log in and 2) I have no idea how to word the issue... Threads are posting, but they are not. I can see them, but also not; and only behave correctly while I'm logged out. It's confusing, and I don't know how anyone else would be able to recreate it...

I'm having the same issue posting new threads. It will error, and no new thread shows up in the magazine - however the thread is visible from my profile.

Now, if I navigate to the thread from my profile while logged in, there is nothing in the thread. If I log out, the thread is visible in the magazine and there is comments in the thread... So weird.

Can you try viewing he magazine while logged out to see if its visible then?

Prolific week. I read 4:

I finished Abaddon's Gate by James Corey yesterday. I still maintain the TV show is better than the books, but this is the first place I've seen divergence from the main story. I don't recall seeing Samara or Pa in the TV show, but they played a pretty big part in this book. I think Camina Drummer was introduced in the TV show in place of Pa, and there was a lot of overlap of Bull's story that they gave to Camina in the show. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Camina is one of my favorite characters, but a lot of her badassery was tacked on and is attributed to other characters in the book. Ashford though, they made him likable in the TV show, and I will never forgive book version. :|

I finished Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells earlier this week. Quick read, It's book 3 in the Murderbot series. All of them have been fun so far. I'm really enjoying seeing "Consultant Wren" start to connect with others.

[audiobook] I also listened to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams; read by Stephen Fry. I've read this book a couple of times over the years, and was interested in hearing Stephen Fry narrate it. I was not disappointed. :)

I started, and finished, We Are Legion (We are Bob) by Dennis E. Taylor last night. First off, "WOW!" This one was a lot of fun. I would recommend this one to anyone who enjoys sci-fi with a sense of humor. Lots of nerdy fandom references and jokes for those of us who grew up on sci-fi TV/Movies and live in a constant state of regurgitating pop culture references.

I typically resort to reading when I run out of good shows to watch.
