Spinning links

[PrincessShmoo]

When someone posts a link in their post I just get a general "Loading" with spinning dots showing. Why?

We aren't sure, but we have asked...

The link still works even if it's spinning. When posting a link, you can click on the chain icon on your toolbar and create a clean link.

I know it still works, but it used to actually show a bit of the link in the post before clicking on it. It's not just the links I post, but the links anyone else posts. I don't have any control on those.

This is a problem since January 2021. I even did the debugging to determine the issue. Wheoever is in charge of fixing these things either is too busy or can't figure it out.

It's probably an issue with a setup where a load balance is being used with multiple app servers where the balancer runs under SSL and the app servers run under HTTP (which is a common setup). The board software thinks the software is running under HTTP, causing a security error. Maybe adding the x-forward-proto header with a value of https between the load balancer and the app servers will fix this. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/X-Forwarded-Proto

A bit ironic...the DVC show from 2/7/22 ends with a plea to DVC to "fix the damn website already"...

Well, they could be referring to an actual DISNEY website. DISboards is not an official Disney site.

Oh, they were but I just found it ironic that they found it outrageous that Disney's DVC site has had issues for too long while thier own Disboards has had the spinning issue for too long too without any progress on fixing it.

Followup: It appears unfurling links has been disabled, so links now work by default
