Trying to launch a new version of the site today

Wait, I think I fixed it universally. Let me know.

It was basically caused by a stupid bug (and potential security risk) in chrome by autofilling your saved username and passwords into the first input boxes it found on the site, even if you are logged in (obvious from what you guys were seeing). I basically had to add to dummy input boxes and hide them so chrome fills them and ignores the search bar. 

Seems like it could be bad news if you had a browser extension installed or ran malicious code that could add hidden inputs at the top of a page and potentially collect that information. I don't like saving username and password in browser in general, but seeing this in action really hammers that home for me.

Mine seems to be good. Appreciate it.

Yep, working here now as well.

I now see a ton of searches in the search table that are just usernames, meaning a ton of you were getting that weird search issue. Why did only 3 people complain about it? That would've driven me nuts and I would've been bitching every day until it was fixed.

From the launch however many days ago...I didnt start to see the issue until like a week ago or whenever I complained. It hasnt been a thing this whole time, at least not for me.

Looks like ptown and Spock were getting it the worst.

I am mobile most days on this site. Monday and Wednesday nights are really only time I am laptop. And I dont think it was ever an issue for me on the phone

Never had an issue with this. 

I will add one thing, though, and that’s with my old iPad....... all the posts appear scrambled, like mixed and scrolling is very difficult. 

So I just use my phone or desk top.....no big deal.

Vertical or horizontal with your ipad? If vertical, that doesn't surprise me.

Did the posting of pictures from the phone ever get sorted? I just tried in the 2020 MLB thread and it wasn’t working.

I have no issues posting from my phone.

It’s sideways because I didn’t crop it, but it posted without issue. This is from Safari. 

Am I missing a step? I hit upload...a green progress bar goes across...then nothing. I tried posting from there, posting with a description, everything.

Lol, worked just fine here.

Mine are often sideways but it’s ok

They will always be sideways from a phone unless you crop them down closer to square.
