Page Not Found when clicking on /k link, to refresh

smallbug — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 19:38:48 +0800

Usually to refresh the kopitiam forum, I would just click on the link (https://forum.lowyat.net/kopitiam). Now it just leads to a "Page not found" message.
I have to go to the bottom drop down menu to select "Kopitiam" to refresh.

Intentional?

Thanks.

No need for http:// for add image,

Skylinestar — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 09:31:39 +0800

after clicking IMG to add image, the popup has a prefilled http:// .
I think it is totally not required. quite cumbersome to delete that http:// especially on a phone.

@User Tagging,

Matchy — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 13:22:20 +0800

Suggest adding the link to the user profile in the user tagging. (similar to other social platform) So that it is easier to see the user status. (Last active, sus'ed, last post, etc)

Prunning of the warn meter not working?,

As per: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=faq&article=6

CODE

All warnings will expire 6 months after it was issued. Warning prunes are done automatically by a script which runs on the first day of each month only. As such, if your warning was due to end on the 3rd of February for example, it will only be removed on the 1st of March. As of 21st March 2006, all warn prunes will reduce your meter by 10%, but the logs will remain.

Despite this, a warning issued on 11 Aug 2025, is still on my warn meter, nearly 10 months later

Are the warnings still expiring after 6 months, and is the warning prune script still working?

Can't login when 'Remember me' is unchecked,

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.

"read latest post" goes to the 1st page,

smallgiant — Sun, 10 May 2026 20:19:39 +0800

when logged in, clicking on the link in the yellow box redirects to the first post. https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/[post id]/latest redirects to different pages depending on whether the user is logged in or not, example

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5564118/latest

when logged in, it redirects to
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5564118/+0&#entry112975514

when not logged in, it redirects to
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5564118/+40#entry112976553

** post numbers are different.

Tested on Opera, Chrome, Firefox; Windows 11.

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.

If I login and access those threads last pages all work fine but logout sure cannot access. Anyone know why?

Can you guys improve the Ignore/Block function?,

kding2 — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 16:48:53 +0800

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

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?
