switching networks bugs chat

submitted by oyveyo to UpgoatDev 2 weeksApr 13, 2025 05:51:46 ago (+2/-0)     (UpgoatDev)

Brave on Android

I tried clearing cache
I'm fairly sure this a server-side glitch.

I was using my mobile network and ran out of data, so I switched over to wifi and now my posts to chat don't make it through.

If I use an alt, it works. If I switch back to this account, it doesn't.

paging @system

Edit: weds, April 23rd. No change.

@system

update:

I downloaded an obscure browser and I can chat again.

This seems like a Brave or Chrome specific glitch since neither of those work with chat.

@system

Update 2:

After 4 solid hours of reliable chat operation in this new browser, i attempted to speak at 6:44am servertime and it's not working again.

W. T. F.

update 3:
Tried another new different browser. Doesn't work.

On the other device with the alt, that has been working flawlessly for at least 24 hours, up until a few minutes ago. I posted to chat using alt (which has had no problem in the last day of continuous use) and it worked as expected, logged out of alt on that device, logged into this account on that device, didn't work, logged back into alt on that device, and now the alt doesn't work.

It seems like something specific to THIS account causes chat malfunction.

update 4:
10 minutes later the alt starts working again.

update 5:
An hour later the alt stops working

Have you considered using MasterFooVPN?

its from relying on IP instead of session

[ - ] system 0 points 2 weeksApr 13, 2025 12:48:55 ago (+1/-1)*

Just tested it and after changing ips it works after a refresh. Are you still not able to get in?

[ - ] oyveyo [op] 1 point 2 weeksApr 13, 2025 15:33:33 ago (+1/-0)*

I am still unable. Any suggestions?

I tried from a different device as well.

I can "get in" and see the chat, but nothing I say gets posted

[ - ] system 0 points 2 weeksApr 13, 2025 15:37:33 ago (+1/-1)

I just reset the chat server, try again.

Still no joy

I just noticed the chat doesn't update itself either. When I first enter, it loads the current state but does not update the state continuously like it should. On another device with an alt, I can see the chat moving as people talk. If I switch accounts, it bugs out

Also I tried a fresh install of Chrome (instead of Brave)

That is strange. Sounds like something on your end. What happens when you go to the main chat? What do you see? What about the mini chat on the main page?

[ - ] oyveyo [op] 1 point 2 weeksApr 13, 2025 16:36:36 ago (+1/-0)

This is all on the main chat.

On mobile, the minichat is never visible on the main page, even if I switch to desktop mode and hold in landscape orientation.

[ - ] system 0 points 2 weeksApr 13, 2025 16:54:01 ago (+1/-1)

What about when you go to https://www.upgoat.net/frontchat or https://www.voat.xyz/frontchat (which ever you use)

[ - ] oyveyo [op] 2 points 2 weeksApr 14, 2025 03:20:30 ago (+2/-0)*

I don't know why it's working again, but it is.

I just kept pounding on the SEND button and it started working.

edit: it only worked for a minute and then stopped working after I navigated away from the page and came back.

I'm out of ideas. Sounds like a problem with something on your end. No one else has reported anything and I haven't made any changes to chat.

[ - ] oyveyo [op] 1 point 2 weeksApr 14, 2025 16:32:49 ago (+1/-0)

Chat no longer works on any of my devices, even with an alt.

I was banging the send button repeatedly and one single blank message appeared in the chat.

I cleared cache, site data, cookies, etc. Rebooted.

The other device that was working with the alt account now does not work with chat.

I can't help but think I'm getting hornswaggled by somebody. If that's the case, I'm doubling-down and ramming the wall.

It's funky-looking, lol.

It initially loads, shows current state.

I send text and nothing happens.

I manually refresh and nothing changed.

I used an alt on a different device and it worked on that account on that device.

The problem device did not update. I manually refreshed the page and saw where the alt talked, but no further updates unless i manually refresh. Still can't talk.
