Posting Links Results with Web Error

Product Support

AI-generated summary

bob_the_tomato reported an issue on forum.creative.gimkit.com where inserting hyperlinks (and later polls) triggered a web error, persisting for a month despite browser reloads and safe mode attempts. The issue was isolated to that specific forum and device, not reproducible on meta.discourse.org or try.discourse.org. Community members Canapin, pfaffman, and sam suggested troubleshooting steps like testing other browsers, updating software, and checking for unsupported plugins or logs — though bob_the_tomato clarified they aren’t an admin and weren’t familiar with those terms. Attempts to contact forum admins were unsuccessful. Ultimately, bob_the_tomato resolved the issue by noting the forum was outdated; after a recent update, the error stopped occurring. The problem was forum-specific and resolved via backend maintenance, not user-side fixes.

Heya!

On forum.creative.gimkit.com, when I try posting a link, using the “insert hyperlink” feature, this screen shows up shortly after:

A reload doesn’t work, it’s been happening for a month now. It’s so annoying and I can’t fix it. Pls help, thanks!
Also, I’m on the chrome web browser.

If it’s not happening here on meta or try.discourse.org, you may want to see if it happens on other browsers/devices and contact the admins of gimkit. If it happens only on gimkit, it’s probably on their end :slight_smile:

You can try safe mode and see if it persists.

Also, if you ever notice a browser crash, I recommend:

  1. Try a second browser (e.g., Firefox) to confirm if it is browser-specific.
  2. Most importantly, update the browser to the latest version.
  3. Run the browser in browser safe mode with all extensions disabled.

I’ve tried that. Didn’t work.

Now it happens with polls.

Does it also happen at try.discourse.org?

Are you the admin there? Are there unsupported plugins? Do you see anything in /logs?

@Moin and @Canapin it seems to be forum specific. try.discourse.org/ is working fine.

No

sorry, i’m not the most advanced and don’t know what you are talking about :sweat_smile:

@sam, it happens on just that forum.

Did you do this?

I figured out that it only works on this device and this forum. Also, trying to contact admins has gotten me nowhere D:

It turns out this is just a matter of the forum being old, the forum recently got updated and this stopped.

Thanks for trying to help.
