Hey, the issue was our servers being overloaded - it should be back to normal now.

set this bug to closed

Today things were normal until going to read an article in discovery block. When clicking the upper left world anvil icon to return to mainpage am given the trying to look at a private entry popup again.

Can it be due to some functions opening a second window tab while others do not?

Noted, we will be taking a look at this since it sounds like a separate issue than the rest. If you have any more information on the steps to reproduce this, please let me know, it will help a lot!

Today opened world anvil

clicked on an article in discovery, second window opened, read article, left a like

clicked on worldanvil icon in second window was given trying to view private entry

closed second window

clicked on community on first page given private entry

clicked on my profile given 404

closed world anvil reopened given private entry

closed world anvil waited a few minutes to respond here.

second test

Closing second window article after reading and leaving a like

discovery box reloads and gives 403 in first window

closed this box, went to homepage, clicked view profile, left hand side bar vanished.

I feel that these issues are in some way attached to the left side bar. The left side bar is missing when the errors occur. I have had persistent issues with the left side bar. Notitably using the editor; if the left side bar is opened the right edge of the editor is missing and you are unable to see what you are typing. The new editor was reduced to the size of an index card and you could not input a single character.

Perhaps this will help.

Errors happen more often when using windows 11 instead of windows 10

Thanks for the info, we will be looking into these and will keep you updated as soon as we have a fix!

The PC uses windows 11, big monitor, the login/welcome page from left to right shows Welcome, Discovery and Featured box.

The laptop uses windows 10, smaller monitor, the Featured box is moved underneath the Welcome box.

Maybe this difference is part of the cause?

Hi Absinthe, are you able to take pictures of everyrthing that's happening so we can verify which things you are referring to as we all use different vernacular to describe things, which makes it hard to narrow down. For example: what do you mean you close the discovery box? The widget that contains the widgets? Thank you for helping us to understand this better!

Hey, just to confirm a suspicion I have, do you have cache and cookies enabled on your browser? And if so, do you clear them/delete them often? WorldAnvil needs them for storing / caching information and some of these screenshots make me wonder if that's what's missing when you load parts of the interface.

Yes enabled. These problems started the first week of flash fiction. They do not happen as often on the laptop which is windows 10. This PC is windows 11.

Conducted an experiment this morning.

Opened world anvil first with no other tabs.

No problems until a second window automatically opens when clicking on a discovery article to read.

Can leave a like or comment on that page. Using any other command starts the error messages in that tab.

Usually the error messages also appear on the primary world anvil tab when closing the article tab. They carry over.

Today without having my other daily tabs open, the error messages did not migrate to the primary tab.

Generally I have five other tabs open before opening world anvil.

Sitting idle world anvil at this moment uses 423MB of memory.
