Weekly Recap - August 29, 2024

[u/TheOpusCroakus]

Hello! It's another Thursday, so it's time for another weekly recap! Let's recap the week!

ISSUES/EVENTS

• There is an issue where deleted content is reappearing. This is actively being looked into.

• Reddit was down for a little bit yesterday. Redditstatusbot posted about this here and updated when the incident was resolved.

TOP POSTS

• new.reddit.com not working

About a month ago, we made a post here about new.reddit.com no longer being supported and access to that platform eventually going away. Many users have experienced this recently and made posts about this issue.

We stickied the announcement post in this sub and encourage you to leave constructive feedback in that post so that it can be passed along to the correct team. You can also comment here as well.

• Saved posts are missing on all platforms

Some users are reporting that their saved posts are not accessible. The team is aware of this and is working on a solution. We're using this post over in r/bugs to track the issue. If you're still experiencing this and could comment over there, that would be great!

• Videos won't play when logged into the desktop

Earlier this week, some users were reporting that videos were not playing on the desktop site when logged in. This was fixed up pretty quickly and we commented on this post in r/bugs when it was resolved. Thanks to everyone who left comments and information which helped the team get that worked out.

r/bugs is a great place to post things like that! It's an admin sub and we are in there! Thank you!

I have reported that even though I have preferences set to sort topics by NEW rather than HOT this new version ignores it and opens HOT as default. See my other comment here. I have reported it I think three times in six or eight months and have no feedback at all. Luckily I have been able to use new.reddit.com since the beginning of the year when I was first forced to use the new UI. It would be nice if at least some of the bugs I have seen reported in the last 2 days have some kind of acknowledgement.

Are you reporting these in r/bugs? That's a great place to surface these sorts of issues! I was just able to reproduce the sorting issue, so I have shared that with the team just now and will follow up on it! Thank you!

[u/skibik1964 → u/TheOpusCroakus]

Yes, I have. Actually the sort thing 3 or 4 times at the beginning of the year but 2 or 3 were removed by automoderator or another moderator, can't remember the reason but remember having to redo it a few times and I think one finally stuck but I left the sub then after finding the work around new.reddit and used it. I reported it again yesterday along with separate post for other two issues I reported here in both comments. There has been no replies to those that they are read by anyone other than other users. You're actually the first Admin to respond and I appreciate at least someone has passed it on. I thank you for that

I get a lot of bugs are reported since I rejoined r/bugs yesterday so hard to fix them all but at least fix the common ones before it was forced on us.

It is sad that such a well like version is just removed and forced to use a new version that is full of bugs yet you can still use an old version that looks like it was developed by a kid back in the 90's.
