Nik seems to think it's something at twitters end but will investigate further. Won't be until next week because of life commitments. 

Hi all,

Frustratingly it seems like Twitter has placed an IP block across basically all of Digital Ocean. I've shouted into the developer forum void, let's see what happens. 

Tried everything, reserved outbound IP, new datacenter, etc. etc.... nothing.

It is back working now.

Can we have a Women's World Cup headline under https://yellowfever.co.nz/categories/white-noise-presents-new-zealand-football like we do for the 2015 U20 World Cup. Cheers

Is it possible to get a "mute user" function? The culture war/politics arguments are just about driving me off this site, and it seems like it would be much easier for everyone to stick around if X person could just choose to not see my Woke Mind Virus posts, and vice versa

You could stop engaging with them.

Doloras, NP gives good advice. Don't bite back, just ignore it, or that thread, and move on. I do that now myself, skip the crap I don't want to get involved in. Probably find, 99% of users do that to my own inputs or rants. The world keeps on moving Doloras, Just rise above it. You'll find that someone brings the thread back on track anyway.

What are the chances of having the Women's league table alongside the Men's one on the main page?  Please?

Or, at minimum, a toggle to be able to switch between the two.

I.e., anything other than the absence of a Women's league table.

The table comes via the Ultimate A-League API & they don't provide any ALW content (he just doesn't have the time to do both). Not sure there is any website that offers that same information which can be easily added.

Thanks for the response, so we can't just use this?

 'Easily added' might be the problem. That aleagues.com.au doesn't seem to be one table. It appears to be two tables next to each other: (Pos, Club) in one table; (P W D L GF GA GD PTS LAST 5) in the other. Ugh.
Shrink the browser-width so that "Last 5" heading breaks to 2 lines and see the rows mis-align.

Scraping the data off of rendered web pages is possible, yes, but it will break anytime the other site changes the way they display the table. API's don't have this issue, because they're set up specifically for other people to access data without constantly breaking them. 

It's not worth any of us spending time developing a solution without an API to access the table data. If it's a bad look that we have the men's table and not the women's, the solution in my opinion would be to remove the men's table. 

The existence of the table on the home page is just a side effect of the old FeverBot, back when there was more regular discussion on the forums about the league table. FeverBot needed a way to display the table, which we could just pop on the homepage too. There's plenty of other places on the internet to view up-to-date and live table data so I don't think it's an issue removing it. 

I got banned for 24 hours....

"breaking rule #6 name-calling"

Called someone a librarian........if anyone was offended by that i fear for you. But i'll put my hand up. 

I get called rightly or wrongly a "prick" " f**ckin arsehole" "clown" for stating a difference in opinion at times yet to absolute no consequence at all to those involved. 

How long do you have to be on here to get immunity? I've done over a year....obviously not enough.

Maybe the ones doing the name calling run the site or maybe the site has relations in the library space. 

Anyways....Showtimes days are done. If anyone could let me know how to delete an account much appreciated or could the organisers extend my ban if an acc deletion is not possible.

All the best to my supporters....and the haters. Long live freedom of speech, difference in opinion and debate.

Ok..?

Anyways I'm having a problem with the mobile version of the app. For some reason it's glitching out when I use it. Pictures attached below.

I'm trying to access my profile to change the picture etc, but I don't appear to be able to.

go to your profile at the top right of the page, click the down arrow select 'profile'
the 'edit' should be able to change picture from there.

The Edit button isn't showing. Using Chrome.

Hmmm digs deeper, will Chrome when I get home.

Nope. MIA. I'll find it at home, might be a work thing.

PS: Update, yep was a work thing, probably the cache not updating.

Getting hit with possibly some attack or something where it says a different name in the address bar when I click on threads about the media and all the ‘this’ buttons were missing. That was what alerted me. Other threads seem okay..?

What's the name in the address bar? Kind of interesting that they'd waste their time trying to spoof this website.

Not nearly qualified enough to answer this but my best guess would be that is was probably just the name of the server that hosts the website showing, rather than domain name.

Did it look something like amazonaws.com?

No it was longer 4 or 5 words- something like online-su… can’t remember much beyond that… 

Whoops, cut the first part off. Could it be siggy-uploads you saw? Profile pictures are on here with urls like this

Hmm. There was an online in there somewhere and I didn’t click on it to check if it had all the bits and pieces at the end. Maybe a siggy. It wasn’t all threads, maybe 2 or 3. The threads I did have the issue with had the ‘this’ button removed. 

I went out of the threads and came back to them and it still had the odd address bar. Anyway, as far as I can tell it’s not happening now, so?

Siggy. Still causing mischief after all these years!

Seems likely the URL was either to cloudflare or digitalocean if it was still responding with content.

Hi, I wasn't really sure where to ask this which is why I'm asking here, but I was wondering if there were any plans to make a tifo for the derby with Auckland? And if there is how can I chip in?
