Came here to complain about “show full post” being broken. Glad it’s not just me.

Ugh. Something else is broken. The “switch header to topic title on scroll” setting is no longer being respected. I have it unchecked but it still switches on scroll which I definitely don’t want.

didn’t you know, it’s the number of views, likes, links, and users.

So the thing where clicking on “Comments” on an article from the main page was sending people to the general BBS and not to the thread on the specific article.
I was under the impression it was fixed, but it’s been happening infrequently to me?
I can’t be more specific since I alternate between the main page & the BBS directly, so I can’t provide, for example, a certain author, but not another one, etc.
Is this still a known issue?

Yes. Happened to me yesterday.
I have bookmarked the link to get to a comment and that one didn’t work either. (I tried making a hyperlink of that script but failed.)
But that was just on one post.
Also, I don’t go to the front page much. I start in the BBS and leave that window open so I just close the article when done reading.

I see the “Show Full Post” problem has been widely reported.
Just to add a data point, broken on Windows (FF128 and latest Edge) and Linux (FF128).

It’s been bothering me too, and this morning when I used the hyperlink I had to re-start the site to get back to the bbs.

It’s probably something to do with the puke emoji, which is something that also seems to be deficient around here?
Just a guess.

yikes, I am trying to get this triaged, any chance you have some steps to reproduce this.
- what browser are you using?
- what exact step do you take to make it happen (where do you visit first, second, etc…)

We’re all seeing it, with vastly different hardware and software configurations.

Yeah but how do I make the buttons vanish…?
- https://bbs.boingboing.net/ (latest new … etc still there.)
- visit topic
- go back (latest new … etc still there)
- reload
- (still there)
Aside, we figured out the “show full post…” thing and I raised with @orenwolf , it is to do with bot protection that was added to boingboing.net last week (outside of our control)
