Have you noticed a bug where something on the site isn't working right? Post a link and describe the issue in the comments

not a bug, but i wish notification would pop up instead of having to reload the page.

facts

DM ME!

All these gifs had Play Count setting selection of "1", in the gif-maker and were displayed like that in the approval queue, but after featuring the pages play like the Play Count setting is "0"

The "play count" is kind of an antiquated feature of the .gif file format itself, and probably not something we would have deliberately added for GIFs playing on Imgflip. It doesn't really make sense to ever prevent someone from being able to see a GIF play again. I suppose it could make sense to still respect the "play count" but then add a "play" button for the user after it finishes. Would this be ideal? Or do you not actually care much about play count and are mainly just reporting the bug?

The reason this bug happens is that we use video format to play GIFs on Imgflip most of the time, and videos don't have a "play count" setting so we would have to write code to manually stop and start the video.

IMO I think respecting the play count is the way to go. For image pages, I think giving the viewer the option of additional plays with a button would be ideal.

For click to show, respecting the play count would make this gif behave as intended, and stare at you at the end: 4odnl3.gif (click to show)

As a click to show, they display properly in the preview with 1 loop, but continuously loop in the displayed comment. 🤔

Oh hey it's my bug

Sometimes when commenting a meme, it becomes a black image instead

That happens to me sometimes to. I think it's something to do with the template not fully loading in the Meme Generator.

I find it very interesting that you appear to have done it here on the first try, with no drawing or image added inside. Are you a wizard or do you have a way to force it to happen?

No
It just happens

It happens after generating a meme and pressing the comment button too quickly and not letting the preview imsge to be loaded or just bad internet connection that image preview is not loading and then pressing post comment button.

If you just quickly exit the meme generator (not leaving it time to fully load) then that’ll happen.

Sometimes the screen goes black on mobile devices so i have to reload the site by exiting and going back in

According to me
That's a inspect element
Edit that text and make the inspect element bigger window and the imgflip will turn in to small

It's actually negative notification. It's a glitch again.

Why am i getting negative notifications?

Because it happened to some users last time.

it keeps showing up. Whenever I type a new message, it is supposed to display 1s or 2s, or something like that. But this time it's displaying -203m, and I wondered why. Also I had another glitch where imgflip became broken. it became like I was on a 200's browser.

was your computer's clock out of sync for some reason? just cross several time zones and didn't let it sync with apple/microsoft servers?

no

You mean like this?

no

You said Imgflip became broken like you were using it in a 200's browser.

No, what i mean is that my memechat was showing something like -104 minutes

Haven't seen anything like that since 2019

1) I think upvotes a user receives on images and comments for the first two submissions to a stream ~per day~ give points, but not on the extra submissions that may follow.

2) I think upvotes on content older than 30 days don't give points.

If those are true, you should get points for all upvotes you receive on ~newer content~ in the fun stream and in other streams that are limited to two posts per day.

I thought it may just be lag for users with more points, it doesn’t update all right away, but I might be wrong
I think I did an experiment on it like a year or so ago

If I'm right, I think it's by design.

And if you manually approve if it either takes a long time to go through or doesn’t at al

If there are any you know of that are stuck in limbo for a day or more, please post a link or links as a reply here.

I've seen time delay between manual approval and the image appearing in a stream and the user's profile, usually less 15 minutes, sometimes a little longer.

I don’t have any rn because I only use manual approve

Yes, I have this issue with my technicallythetruth- stream. I made sure that SFW was auto approved, and both of the images I've submitted have taken a while to go live, saying it was pending approval, but when I check the approval queue in My Streams, there's nothing for that stream.

add spacing at the top of a transparent image then click bottom and see what happens

Good one. I've seen't that and had forgotten about it, thanks.

wut... how did you do that? I tried top and bottom using a transparent image and it worked normally as intended. Certain browser or device?

That comment was two stacked opaque images, just agreeing that I've seen the bug.

After I commented, I made this one. 6j5xzh.jpg (click to show)

Will send feedback from that page.

oh, is this just about the "auto color" that it's choosing? it uses the pixels from the original image it seems, not the transparency color that was selected. can always choose black or white instead though.

Never tried that. Sure enough, works as is.

A little off topic, now might be a good time to plug these ideas from the community again:

Hello.

It's less of a bug and more of an annoyance.
When you're writing a memechat, if you accidentally hit reload or leave the page, it deletes your draft. I think that it should save the draft for in the future, so that people who were writing long paragraphs don't have to start all over again.
I feel the same way about writing comments.
