It’s usually more like 2.5.
I got this error when I tried to set a bookmark reminder:
So yeah, the date is indeed in the future - 1st assumption was that I’d actually goofed. Then it was some kind of effort to back out of the bookmark dialog, but I did. When I tried to set the bookmark again, one of the choices was the last date/time I’d used - the same one I had just tried to unsuccessfully set. When I did it that way, it worked.

Yes, sure, that date is in the future. But YOU are now in the past relative to that future date. And, you know, you cannot set a bookmark reminder in the past.

Why do we keep posts showing nothing but “post deleted by author”? Is there a reason we need to know that someone took down a post, especially as there is rarely a hint left as to what was the problem?

They do vanish after about 12 hours though.

For someone following the thread, it differentiates the writer’s intent versus moderation

This. While moderated posts usually have replies removed, user-deleted posts do not, so these markers help show where content was removed for a brief period while the conversation may still be actively taking place.

Thanks for the clarification.

I’m having issues uploading or using the various widgets (both the gif thingie and the emoji thingie). I am also unable to upload gifs from my own computer… I’m using Firefox 81.0.1…
And this seems to be a problem here only. I’ve been able to upload things to other places this morning. And this problem started randomly. when I logged in, I was able to post gifs, etc. I also can’t copy and paste images here.

You’ve done all of the usual “turn it off and back on again” stuff?

The only thing I have not done is log out of the BBS and log back in. Let me try that.
Also, just discovered I can’t quote people (though I can still copy and paste other comments manually).

Firefox here too. A day or two back it was mucking about. It was trying to upgrade. I quit it and restored it. All fine. Hope that helps. But I’m not a computer expert, by any ruddy stretch.

I logged out and back in, and still no joy… 
I can do emojis manually, too.
I quit it and restored it.
I’ll try that next…?

Still nope.

A quick search of meta.discourse.org didn’t turn up any obvious new Firefox issues (or issues with the image features in general). Sorry

That sucks. Have you tried rebooting computer itself?

I would post the proper gif, but… you know…
I guess I’ll give that whirl next, I tried a refresh of the browser and nada…

I’m thinking it might be browser issues, because I can’t reproduce the errors, and I access the BBS from a tablet using its native browser (Samsung-- Chromium mod.) Or maybe because I don’t log off between sessions?

Neither do I usually? I think you’re probably correct about the browser being the issue.
Is anyone else using the firefox instance I’m on having similar issues?
Thanks, @orenwolf…

Is your mouse or keyboard wireless?
