call for dev volunteers!

There was a code push yesterday, and several things went Exciting. There's a list of known issues on the [site community profile] dw_maintenance post, but [staff profile] mark isn't up and about at the moment, so I'm throwing this up here.

Here's my quick-and-dirty list of Things That Are Wrong, along with some speculation; more investigation is very welcome, as is writing fixes!

Real-time discussion is happening in Discord but I will be attempting to keep this post updated.

I suspect enough more people do want the user tag in q*r that it's worth putting it back in

Icon editing
icon editing is still broken in Chrome... when the tab is opened as new... but works on reloading the tab: https://dw-maintenance.dreamwidth.org/78131.html?thread=2999859#cmt2999859

Misc display issues
* overlap of subjects and icons: https://dw-maintenance.dreamwidth.org/78131.html?thread=3009587#cmt3009587
* nav bar issues (IE11, which is still officially supported by Microsoft): https://dw-maintenance.dreamwidth.org/78131.html?thread=3006771#cmt3006771
* Padding's gone wrong (styles?): https://www.dreamwidth.org/support/see_request?id=40226

Comment form issues
* https://www.dreamwidth.org/support/see_request?id=40206 (fine on desktop site, really not on mobile)
* https://dw-maintenance.dreamwidth.org/78131.html?thread=3012147#cmt3012147 (button spacing in a particular style)
* subject text still tiny? did its "text" attribute get updated when body text was fixed? https://www.dreamwidth.org/go?redir_type=threadroot&journal=dw_maintenance&
talkid=3005747


CAPTCHA
* ?formauth problem with captcha for posts > 5000 comments? https://dw-maintenance.dreamwidth.org/78131.html?thread=2959667#cmt2959667, https://dw-maintenance.dreamwidth.org/78131.html?thread=2981683#cmt2981683

Users being treated as logged out, and therefore unable to e.g. change their icon choice.


Polls
* polls aren't displaying properly in multiple browsers: https://dw-maintenance.dreamwidth.org/78131.html?thread=2997299#cmt2997299

Imports various
* importer is misbehaving: https://dw-maintenance.dreamwidth.org/78131.html?thread=2961203#cmt2961203
* feeds aren't updating (actually from Support): https://www.dreamwidth.org/support/see_request?id=40211 (no, none of them, afaict)
Worker issue - imports probably also now fixed but waiting on confirmation.

Image display
Proxy issues? Definitely the AO3 userhead (e.g. [archiveofourown.org profile] kaberett): https://dw-maintenance.dreamwidth.org/78131.html?thread=2971955#cmt2971955 Fixed! Proxy issues were the culprit.

Old Create Entries page
* there is a glitch that involves default privacy levels apparently not being respected (multiple reports, old Create Entries page, affecting people who have set the RTE as default): https://dw-maintenance.dreamwidth.org/78131.html?thread=2954547#cmt2954547, http://www.dreamwidth.org/support/see_request?id=40214 -- momiji is doing a tonne of debugging; it looks like things are *posting* correctly, it's just the landing page is lying.
* the RTE is dead (RIP) (well, even more dead) (DEBUGGING: https://dw-maintenance.dreamwidth.org/78131.html?thread=2964787#cmt2964787)
* autocomplete for (community?) tags not happening... for... some... but... not... all... communities...? okay this might be down to comm permissions


Speculation: related to JavaScript updates various? Is customsecurity being applied properly, but the success landing page is reporting (incorrectly) that they're being posted as public?
