Some posts on loforo appears incorrect. There are styles makes them appear incorrect and loforo does not strip such styles. This makes the ui potentially unusable and/or very annoying to the users who might see those posts. For example there posts that anchor to the top of the page and also take all screen space where it might be impossible to interact with other posts nearby when they are present. Using latest version of Mozilla Firefox on Linux.

Workaround for Firefox users: Add a css to override some styles to userContent.css (located in chrome folder of your Firefox profile), e.g. add something similar to one shown below, also make sure firefox preference Read More »

If a certain bugged post would show on on timeline no further posts would load and it would also break infinite scroll as shown in screenshot below where next page navigation is also broken.

All addons are disabled, using latest Mozilla Firefox version on Linux

To upload random file from current working directory on Linux use a command similar to shown below, also do not forget to quote html as not doing so might cause bugs and this is just an example:

mkdir -p uploaded
FILE=$(find *.* -type f | shuf -n 1); curl -F 'key=<your api key>' -F "media=@$FILE" -F 'content="<p>some html here</p>"' https://loforo.com/api/post/create; mv -v $FILE uploaded

You can copy files you want to upload to a temporary directory by using a command below as example and run above command from there:

for arg in {1..10}; do FILE="$(find -type f|shuf -n 1|cut -d\/ -f2-)"; cp -v --backup=numbered "$FILE" /path/to/tmp/dir/; done Read More »

The image upload example shown below (w/o space added before MyTestPicture so it would not be auto-linked),

curl -d 'key=<your key>' -F 'media=@ MyTestPicture.jpg' -d 'content=<p>A picture is attached to this post</p>' https://loforo.com/api/post/create

also included in api description page does not work, curl fails with messages shown below and no request is sent.

Warning: You can only select one HTTP request method! You asked for both POST 
Warning: (-d, --data) and multipart formpost (-F, --form).

Use this instead (change -d to -F where needed, remove space before MyTestPicture, don't forget to quote html): Read More »

A blog page of a group I'm in is set to private. This group is visible in group list and has not disappeared from there. The group is for content that is popular on the internet everywhere but the owner set it to private. This is annoying and should never be done for such groups. At least the page should disappear from the group list and the members should to be removed from it in such cases.

It does not fit the width of the mobile browser viewport (Mozilla Firefox Beta 118). To view everything the browser must be zoomed out.

A new trend on loforo. Blogs posting spam that looks like adverts and nothing else, with the blog url some times referring to that. I don't like such blogs, so I'll be blocking anything like that as soon as I spot them. Such accounts are recently registered and don't have many posts, and the captcha should be improved, now bots can easily solve that.

Loforo did a thing...

Trying to view Loforo on mobile frequently results in broken images, usually loading of them slowed to crawl. While using a 4G connection other sites loads fine, but the primary image host (thumbsnap) is painfully slow. Can't even view images properly some times as they fail to load.
