There are 2 articles listed on the latest articles section of the front page that have the little video icon and also listed as video articles, however, neither of these appear to have any video content and are standard articles.

I came here to ask about the four waiting in the moderation queue. The latest one is quite decent, it seems unlikely that the author made a mistake with the category. Looks like some bug spray might come in handy...

After bookmarking an article, the bookmark (star) icon switches from showing '+' to showing a 'v' sign.
But after refreshing the page, this indication disappears and the original "Add bookmark" behavior returns (making it impossible to know that the page is already bookmarked).

Re: Article bookmark indication disappears

This is called expediency. To indicate whether you had bookmarked a given item would require an extra database call for each page view so we punted and left it non-indicating on page refresh.

Some troubles

Here a bunch of things which I have been experiencing for about a week:
- Clicking on the "New Message" Button in a forum does not always work. When it does not work, I must reload the page.
- The site returns "Unexpected behavior CP returned something"-ish kind of messages when posting. Sometimes my post does really appear on the forum, sometimes not.
- The CSS loads completely only every other time, meaning I have to reload the page to get it properly displayed.

Is it only me ?

Is that because you're clicking on the coloured area or the link itself? It's not actually a button, just a styled link. I'll fix.

Rage wrote:

I'm not seeing anything in our error logs that has this wording. Is there a ticket number provided?

IT could be you were viewing the site during an update. Still happening? If so, it sounds like a network issue your end.

No, definitely the link. And it still happens.

Chris Maunder wrote:

It's not the exact wording. Just occurred to me that it could be a CPHog error message...

Chris Maunder wrote:

Yep, several times again today. But you are right, our network is probably to be blamed.

It doesn't. You've been redirected to the error page. Try clearing your cache and then go back to the page. As if by magic, it shall reappear.
