Mahalo 2.0 Launch Bug Thread

Welcome to Mahalo 2.0, glad you all made it in one piece, we understand that there are going to be lots of bugs during the initial moments of the transfer and we need your help.

If you see anything missing or anything inaccurate please post them in this thread, most of them should be ironed shortly but this thread should help us keep them all in one spot.

Issues already logged

----------------------------

  • Tags don't work - you may get an error when you use them, so for now avoid tagging answers/questions
  • We went back into the future by a couple hours, meaning some of your profiles will not list points/answers etc.. that were done earlier today
Interesting Question?  Yes (8)   No (0)

1. No longer able to view votes on profile page.

2. No longer able to view who you voted for.

3. Missing points.

4. Missing tips.
 
It was unfair to choose no best answer
You should have a maybe button. There were a lot of good answers in this thread. Maybe giving best answer to the person who listed the most bugs? (I know it wans't me)

Good new feature though.

When I logged on this morning, it did not give me the option to log on via facebook. Now that I am commenting on this question I have the option to 'Join or Login to Submit Your Comment' below. Which is a cool feature of the new 2.0, at least it would be if it hadn't apparently logged me out - because otherwise would I be getting this option? The login below gives me the option to 'Connect with Facebook'. However, the login with Facebook failed and didn't allow me to submit my comment.

I was at 3700 points +/-. I was at $41.25 Mahalo Dollars this morning and had requested a payout via paypal leaving my balance at $1.25, today I brought that up to 4.75 +/-. I am currently at 3176 points and $31.75 Mahalo Dollars and I cannot find a record of any payout. About the only # to remain the same is my tips paid out for answers at $10.00 before the switch and its $10.00 now.

I finished voting my limit today at 3250 points +/-, up from 3176 this morning that total also included 1 best answer(12 points), now my total is back down to 3195 points. My tips have gone up to 32.75 up 1 dollar from last night due to that 1 best answer however my total tips from preswitch time of 55.00-10.00 outgoing tips has not changed. Still cannot find a record of the pending paypal payment, of cousre because My tips are fewer than 40.00 although I requested a payment Tuesday june 2nd of 40 from my 41.25 balance that morning.

* Missing a buttload of points. I had a few hundred or so to go before reaching brown belt, and now I have more than 1,100 points to go before I hit that. Seems like more than just "earlier today's" points vanished, but I could be wrong.

* Some of my most-recent answers are missing, like "Where Can I Buy a Travel Iron?" and Where Can I Buy Cheap Cassette Tapes?"

* Can't see who gave answers "Helpful" or "Unhelpful" ratings - all I see is the number of people who voted whichever way, in parenthesis beside the boxes as usual.

* Just noticed that avatars don't always show up. Before I clicked on "edit" just now, for example, Budawiggi's was missing (his avatar's, like, right above this answer, at least right now).

If not being able to see who voted what (helpful/unhelpful) is a new feature, that's cool. If so, there's still the line right below the "Helpful Answer?" line with the boxes. Line below that starts off the list of users, and how they voted - it's just blank right now, despite there being votes listed. So...something's not quite right yet - just not sure of what, I guess.

P.S. Not trying to nitpick or complain. I totally understand that, when you roll out something new, things are weird at first. I'm sure that the folks on the MA team will get things worked out pretty quickly. :)

* Missing tons of points. Almost half are gone. As a result, I'm back down to a yellow belt with a green tip.

* Missing some tips… $5 worth.

* Changes to section titles, at least in the guide notes column, aren't reflected right away. When I click edit again, the text field has the correct name, but the heading doesn't change... this happened on the Adium page, for the "Top Brands" heading -- it should be "Supported services". The "Top Brands" heading appeared about 5-10 minutes later, even though I refreshed multiple times. A caching issue, perhaps?

* Speaking of caching, I have to login a number of times in order for Mahalo to accept the fact that I have logged in. Some pages it looks like I'm logged in, and others not…

* When changing the page title, there's a checkbox that simply says "Content?" -- what is that supposed to mean?
 
It was fair to choose no best answer
It was just a discussion, and not really a question! :)

* I also just discovered that sometimes the "Tell us more about…" form in the guide notes column doesn't always save correctly. I've submitted it twice on the Super Mario Galaxy 2 page and it just acts as a refresh -- all data is lost and no error is displayed.

* When making a comment, my avatar appears as the default, and with a white belt. A refresh fixes this.

* Comments aren't indented - they're indented on the right, which makes it harder to track conversations (at least for me).

Does it explain how many pages a person can manage with a certain belt level? The only place I found that explained was in the error message saying I've reached my limit.

Report
 
 
 
June 03, 2009 03:17 AM
The "content" section is to tell the page that its a How To or a Walkthrough page with content in the body f the page, rather than the guide note. If you click it it will move the guide note section over t the right of the page, the way it is for "content-heavy" pages.

June 03, 2009 03:18 AM
Ah, I see. Makes sense. Thanks!

Here are a few more issues I ran into:
* It's forgetting that I claimed a page. I claimed the Super Mario Galaxy 2 page. I refreshed. All was good. I refreshed again, and it switched from showing me as the maintainer to the "do you want to maintain this" button. I clicked it, and it said it was already being managed… by me. Looking at the top of the page, I was still logged in. Refreshing, still logged in. Funky.

* When uploading an avatar that is too large, the only clue to the user that is too large is the URL (?error=size). There's no message displayed saying that the upload didn't work because of the size.

* When commenting on an answer that already has comments, the avatar (still the noob avatar) displays to the right of the above comment. This fixes after a refresh. This is occurring in Safari 4.

* My Answers count on my profile is down from ~90 to 51.

* My Best Answers percent is down to 5% from 20%.

* This isn't really a bug, just huge load… but I'm running into more and more 500 errors. :/

Well.. I think that's it. :) I really like the new Mahalo so far - everything feels much more tied together (answers and search). :D

I've also lost points. As I recall, this morning I was 899 points away from my black belt (but who's counting?). I think I was up to $208 in "current status" tips, but the difference between that and $205.75 - what I'm showing now - is negligible. My only activity today - besides cheering for Robbrown's black belt test and for 2.0 - was voting on undecideds between 25 and 30 times.

Judging by how much much point/dollar amount has dropped, it looks like I'm back to last Thursday or Friday's levels.

My profile page shows no friends...which makes me a little sad, cause I miss their smiling avatars. Speaking of avatars, when I submitted a reply earlier, for a short while my avatar was a newbie with a white belt.
I'm sure the bugs will get worked out.

Relaying this from a friend: she joined Mahalo, her login name appeared in the upper right where it should (although she has yet to receive a confirmation email), and she searched for "real estate." She was asked "What is Real Estate?" and chose "Thing," she wrote the intro (Guide Note), saved, and the page appeared. Then she tried to claim it and was denied, a user named "cherp" had the page even though it was obviously created by my friend. "Cherp" is a brand new white belt.

Thinking "Real Estate" must be a pretty tough topic to claim, she went through the same process for "Marin County Real Estate" and the page was created, but this time went to another brand new white belt named "jaxter1123" -- and then suddenly she was logged in as "jaxter1123." Her login changed again randomly as she continued to play around, this time to a manuel1234 or something like that...

One of my complaints about Mahalo 1.0 was that is was slow. I have noticed that Mahalo 2.0 seems even slower. Just overall usability is frustrating. Ex. clicking on links and nothing happening except the hour glass cursor. And it's not my internet connection. Other sites work fine, it's just Mahalo that is slow.

My wife and I were having the same issues last night. We signed up for the first time and were just looking around when our names changed. My username actually changed to my wife's username, though we were on differenet computers. My wife's username changed to an unknown name before. We both logged off and tried to reenter, but we were not recognized as having signed up yet. We read through the answers that others were having the same issue, so we called it a night.

Today, we both have emails informing us of some of the understandable problems. We both successfully signed up and are both able to use our accounts now with the correct usernames.

So, perhaps you will need to sign up again and give it another try.

One issue that we are still having is we are being asked to activate our account at the top of the answers page. Unfortunately, we don't have new emails since our new sign up.

I imagine we all need to be patient with these small problems, as they seem to be resolved fairly quickly.

I'm loving the new look and features. Great job so far Mahalo Team!

- Missing points; been knocked down from yellow belt to white

- I can't tell the difference between answers and replies to answers.
- Avatar and some profile information was deleted. (I reuploaded my avatar and re-edited my profile, so it's no big deal...)
- When on the front page or searching, sometimes the number of answers to a question is incorrect.

Other than that, I don't see anything else wrong.

I've noticed that I have to hit refresh a few times in Firefox to get answers from my profile to load correctly. For a while, it was showing a "we can't find that page" but a refresh would bring it up 30 seconds later.

Belt and tips are actually correct. Yay.

Most of the morning I've been getting 500 Internal Server errors when navigating to any page other than home.

This afternoon, it took about 6 tries to authenticate as me to login and post.

1. This post is dated July 4, 2009
2. When building a page, a flickr photo was randomly showing up in Fast Facts
3. Unable to add a link under News section (specifically on Galway page)
4. When building a page, the help boxes are not displaying correctly and are covering up some content unless you scroll down.

1. I created the date on this post in order for it to be pinned at the top of MA
2. yes, each page automatically has an image displayed at the top of the Guide Note, to change that image, go to the image section and find the one you want to represent you page > hover over it and click the double arrow, this will make it the first image in the list (first image is what displays in the guide note) > then pin it and it will stay there.

3. Yes, adding a link to a news section is certainly a bug, thanks for finding it, you should be able to add links to the Link section no problem.

4. hmmm, do you have a screenshot, I know the page building box does float overtop of content, you can hide this by going into "user view" you can also "turn tutorials off" that should clean up most of the help sections

More of the same problems:

--My profile has a split identity, one with (nearly) full points and tips and updated avatar, and one about 200 points and $2 short with the original avatar. Sometimes one profile comes up, sometimes the other. Activities and points earned under the "short" profile are showing up there (usually--see below) but are not showing up under the full profile.

--Random logouts and inconsistent logins.

--Disappearing and reappearing open questions (sometimes--possibly associated with the short profile?).

--"Short" profile itself is variable; recent activity seems to be showing up only some of the time.

UPDATE 2:20 PM PDT 6/3/09: Split profile still a problem. It looks like I get the "short" version if I log in from the Mahalo homepage but the "full" profile if I log in from Mahalo Answers.

I estimate about 300 points, because I used to be a green belt but now am a yellow belt.

On the contact page, where we send email feedback, there is very poor evidence of the fact that your email was submitted.
When I click "Send Message" the feedback that it was sent was a slight change at the top of the page. But as I wrote an email, my eyes move down the page, and the brain doesn't focus on the top.
I would suggest that the entire page changes, so it is more evident that the message went through.

Found another problem. It seams that some questions have disappeared. This question was online last night. It is now gone.

I'm missing $6.25 (at least, unless I earned any more money overnight) and around 300 points-- I was around 430-something away from Black Belt. I thought I was going to hit Black Belt sometime this week.

And I'm seeing easyeboy's problem, too, of inability to stay logged in.

I know you guys are working on it; just take this as an update that as of 8:30 a.m. EST, it's still not there yet.

I also can't find a way to see if my payout request I made this weekend is in the system or not. I'm thinking not, since I don't think the "tips earned" is even close to what I've actually earned--it's more like 1/'2 to 2/3.
Email me privately on this one.

The system just took away about 50 points I'd earned today, then restored them.

And the main reason for the comment: I've noticed that after I'd viewed 2 pages today, it said I'd viewed 400. Now it's at 460! When I look at my activity, it's not right until you go back until at least Saturday or possibly Friday; the short screen makes it hard to tell.

Thank you for all the hard work with the upgrade. I can see a few bugs, but that goes with the territory. I know you'll find all the missing pieces and have things running smooth in no time. All I want is to have my Best Answers back up to 45%. Thanks again!

On http://www.mahalo.com/dosa-a-south-indian-delicacy I clicked "Edit" on the guide note that was default generated (with a small image). I wanted to see how to include a image. i saw nothing specific and when i clicked "canceled" the image disappeared!
