Is anyone else on HOSTED DISCOURSE seeing this? …I emailed the team an hour ago, but haven’t heard anything yet. for example, all the links from my categories page, Categories - Podtalk Community simply lead to this error [Screenshot 2023-11-01 at 15.06.28] error from safari inspector… [Screenshot 2023-11-01 at 14.07.06] repro in Chrome, not logged in as any user…

After a little discussion in PM, we think we’ve tracked it to the Topic List Previews (TLP) (cc. @merefield :crossed_fingers:)

Ooof. Sorry for the disruption here. Let me see if I can find something out. :+1: If anyone else is experiencing it please shout out. :pray:

I have a forum on a hosted instance and I am not seeing this error. I notice it isn’t happening in safe mode on your forum, so it is likely a plugin or component. :thinking: Have you made any changes lately?

I haven’t made changes to components recently. I did just create a new category… which led to me discovering the problem. So maybe there’s an odd sideeffect to cat creation . . . I do have two custom components installed (that I wrote)… disabling those didn’t fix the problem. But works-in-safe-mode is a start at troubleshooting.

I bet it’s this [image]November 2023 - refactoring Discovery routes: how will it affect my theme/plugin? We’ll be expanding testing of this change across our hosting this week, with the aim of merging into main/tests-passed early next week (6th November).

OP’s error (that’s me) was for both logged-in as an admin user, and for anons.

Discourse team members have rightly pointed out (in pm) that that component is third-party… I’m going to look into switching to the Topic List Thumbnails and Topic List Excerpts components. …and I’ve moved this over to #support as it’s not a bug [in Discourse].

Just closing the loop here - @merefield has now made the necessary updates to the Pavilion theme component, so it should work well both before and after the incoming core change :heart_eyes: https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-tc-topic-list-previews/pull/31
