purplefellow — Tue, 12 May 2026 10:55:38 +0800

When logging in without the 'Remember me?' checked, the site just redirects back to forum.lowyat.net as Guest. But it works normally if the option is checked. Using PC Chrome browser.

I am not too sure what happen but now all those long threads with over 1000 pages got problem accessing it if I didnt login. I can never access the threads last page if I not login.

Can you guys improve the Ignore/Block function?,

Can you guys improve the current Ignore/Block function? Why am I still getting notice from the blocked/ignored person when they quoted my post? Worst of all, when I clicked the notice, it directed me to that post and showed what the post wrote instead of hiding it. It would be better if ignored/blocked posters cannot see or quote my post, but I guess it would be too extreme for this forum (I know many forums' ignored/blocked function actually worked like that though), so I am content with the notice silent.

Lowyat forum lag,

Taikor.Taikun — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 19:13:39 +0800

Not sure if it's just me, this forum very lag, like hang for few seconds before it loads or render the page.

Even typing also can hang.

Some ads causing this or new code caused the issue, or just my phone problem?

Requesting help to remove Politik from starred,

bottomfrag — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 12:16:57 +0800

-- Please keep your post concise to ensure a speedy review from us. We suggest 250 words or less. --

Is it possible to help remove the old Politik subforum from my starred list? Since the subforum is restricted/hidden/deleted, trying to un-star it just triggers an error.

Desktop login, Unable to login

Human Nature — Thu, 19 Feb 2026 14:40:49 +0800

I have not been able to login via desktop for several days already. Is there a bug? Cloudflare error.

Is it just me or upload photo always timeout?,

samftrmd — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 15:00:16 +0800

No matter data or wifi, file size large or small, always cloud flare timeout.

Do I really need to check HTTPS?,

Skylinestar — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 14:15:06 +0800

I haven't seen such option for any forums yet. Isn't HTTPS the standard?
Why do we need such an option - Use HTTPS ?
Isn't everything already in HTTPS? Is there any difference if I don't check the box?

Cloudflare error with VPN Browser extension, Cannot Login

zenquix — Wed, 07 Jan 2026 13:49:17 +0800

When I enable my WindScribe VPN browser extension, the Lowyat login page throws a Cloudflare error. I do notice that I have to disable it for the page to work, - just disconnecting does not help.

Is there some setting I need to add for the page to work?

IP breach, A certain forum user was able to see my

Viper236 — Tue, 06 Jan 2026 22:05:03 +0800

Dear Forum Moderators,

I am writing to report regarding another user potentially accessing and disclosing my personal data.

A forum user has publicly stated that they are able to view my IP address.

I am not sure how LYN handles user backend data when comes to user personal data but I am deeply concerned about this as an invasion of privacy and a potential violation of Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA), which classifies IP addresses as personal data and requires data users to protect such data from unauthorized disclosure under its Security and Disclosure Principles."

Blackbox Saviour,

potatobanana — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 15:26:24 +0800

Hi,

We frequently encounter forum members posting with blackbox embed / post / video.
To resolve this, may I suggest to include more conditions and formatting to embed youtube video please?

Current correct way to embed youtube video::

CODE

[YOUTUBE]dQw4w9WgXcQ[/YOUTUBE]

To resolve forum members from posting blackbox, we can include another format as below, which is the full URL link::

CODE

[YOUTUBE]https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ[/YOUTUBE]

CODE

[YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ[/YOUTUBE]

Aside from youtube video, this should be applicable to other links / post / embed as well such as FB / IG / Tiktok etc...

Quote notification is not working,

Human Nature — Sun, 23 Nov 2025 09:29:33 +0800

The quote notification is not working. A few forumers quoted my post but there is notification. Realized it this morning.

Just a suggestion, For newbies

Nofusa — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 15:19:13 +0800

Dear mods

I have met many people who would like to be members of the forum, but can't obtain an invite for many reasons.

I would suggest to mods to open a section for new registrants who don't have an invite. In this section, newbies can introduce themselves, and campaign to registered members for an invite. The rest of the sections would not be available to post for the newbies.

Just a suggestion to Lowyat Team
