Quoted from ForceFlow:The text that should display minutes/hours/days looks to be empty. Font color issue, maybe?
[edit]: I just switched to dark mode briefly, and it seems ok to me.
could be that, ill check mobile now

Quoted from Pinball_Hawk:Update: probably font colour but the font stuff is controlled by pinside. idk why it looks scuffed.
Try a hard refresh. All the fonts in your screenshot look wonky.

i have it set for twemogi mozilla, now to be flipped colours for text and background.
Quoted from Crash:I love Linux. This is good data for testing Pinside on alternative OSes.
before the outage, it worked fine, fyi
Quoted from Crash:I don't have any problem on Linux Mint Cinnamon, but I use Brave instead of Firefox.
seems like removing the hack default font is the fix. i run void linux.

Wait, so you're altering things in your browser? Pinside now had a built-in dark mode, so you don't have to flip colors around. That's what could be the problem.

i was, but stil it was fixed by making everything serif

Interesting findings. I always figured Linux would be fine falling back to Open Sans font.
Maybe Pinside should use font embedding for our main font? Currently our font stack is font-family:"Verdana","Open Sans",sans-serif;. Although I don't think I can embed Verdana without paying a licensing fee.
Another idea could be to install the MS Core Fonts TTF package in your linux distro. It adds some basic fonts, including Verdana. This way you'll see Pinside as was intended.
But that's all font talk. Your issue is with the colors and I wonder if you are doing some kind of override causing this?

it was not the colours, it was the fonts all along. it seems like the font hack (default on my distro for web browsers) doesn't like to embed itself. note for the ones who like the font. making it serif fixed every problem

robin - here's a post I made a year ago that may help exemplify a couple little things:
First, the Pinside Activity graphs that used to be next to the heart icon just beyond our user name isn't active. The pic in that post has the graph circled in red.
Second, hovering over the picture reveals a button in the lower left that provides a "Direct Link to Full Size Image". Clicking that gives a NGINX 404 error in a new tab - the click directs to https://images.pinside.com/2/84/08/28408292b8fd18d7f728943360276588fd6f6e0c.png.
Hope this is helpful for your continued diagnostic/recovery quest.

Quoted from Jediturtle:I also noticed the "all posts made by you" section under the Posts tab hasn't updated since before the crash. Just in case that one was flying under the radar. Thanks for all your hard work Robin!
The "All posts made by you" problem should be fixed now. the page also loads really fast now, compared to the 3 sec loading time it took before (database query rewritten). Please take a look and let me see if returned results are as expected.

Yeah, this is related to achievements and I hope to bring it back soon.

Cool, thanks. I will fix that today.
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but after loading pics in a market place ad, I'm not able to rotate them.
I'm still not able to load pictures on my Droid device.
I tap it, it lets me select resolution size but nothing after that.
You may be aware, but animated GIFs seem to be taking extra long to load on the new server and often times won't load at all.

Thanks, I'm aware and it's on my to-do list!

The upload button is there, but it's tiny on some devices. Fix coming!
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:You may be aware, but animated GIFs seem to be taking extra long to load on the new server and often times won't load at all.
Doing some research into this. Our new image server apparently increases file size on some gifs. I'm implementing some smart code today to always serve the smallest file (either processed or raw). Please also note that the first load of an animated gif (or any image resize for that matter) will require some (more) processing time. After that initial processing, the image is cached in our CDN and subsequent loads will be mucho faster for everyone else.
Quick update:
Image rotate should be functioning now. It isn't well tested, but should work. Please report any bugs! 
The blue "Add Image(s)" button should now always be visible, also on Android phones
Gif images will now be automatically converted to WebP, if your browser accepts that format (Chrome, Firefox and the latest Safari on Big Sur). WebP gives a huge size reduction over gif! If your browser does not support WebP, I'm now leaving the gif image alone and serving it as uploaded (which could mean large file sizes!)
Example:
This animated image of my buddy Pim is 2,5 MB as a .gif file. But only 508 kB when served as WebP.
Pimball.GIFI'm GLAD Pinside was down for a while.
Why, you may ask? Well, this is a kind of nerdy database reason, but apparently Robin took this opportunity to add an index for user vs last post viewed in each thread. When I click on Topics Which You Viewed, it loads instantaneously now, whereas before it took several seconds. Saves me minutes every day!
Last few times I’ve uploaded photos to a post via safari on iPhone I haven’t been able to drag photos to change the ordering. Everything else re uploading seems to work fine.
I've noticed a minor thing related to logging in since the server switchover:
Logging in from the home/main page now takes me to My Pinside instead of going back to that home page. As I remember this only used to occur after a successful login was preceded by a failed one.
This is occurring in both Firefox and Opera/Chrome.
Once again, Robin, great job getting us back up and running!

even on the old server, i found it redirected to the user page. might be a thing on your end.
Quoted from robin:They are, just not high priority right now. Sorry!
No rush just curious.
