I hit a 504 error on the way to TPU this morning, I got it twice in a row and then running as per normal now

Confirmed. One of our servers had very high CPU load for no reason, I've rebooted it a few minutes ago. Things should be smooth now

For the last couple of days I'm getting a warning if I visit https://techpowerup.com/ (without WWW). It says the certificate is expired.

Hi,
Yeah but no cheesy adverts so ublock is still bored so I have to give you kudos for not falling for mail order bride/..... crapola ads like most forums go for the quick dirty money.

Just an idea here...if you like and are happy with TPU, and since ads are not in your face, turn ublock off on TPU, and give them the advertising dollars

I do this. TPU is one of the 4 sites I whitelist. I regularly visit the front page and "click-through" so the site can get those ad hits.

Confirmed, nice find. I forgot to swap out the cert for the host without www. This should be fixed now, might take a while for the DNS change to propagate

Does uBlock even block anything on TPU?

Not that I can see right now, but there have been the expanded ad runs that did get a portion blocked, so thus the whitelist. This was some time ago though, more than a couple years.

Yup, that seems normal. It's a change that happened some time ago because a lot of users were missing posts that were directed at them.

Mussels · Dec 8, 2020

its possible he made multiple posts and they got auto merged, as well

ThrashZone · Dec 8, 2020

Hi,
Kind of cool that if you're the last post and post again it's auto merged into the first post :cool:

Haven't had time yet, but leaning towards making it a Patreon feature, just because money-trail = accountability, not to make a few more bucks. It'll take some development effort to make those changes, and it's not high on the list

I block that with NoScript.

Hi,
Also google tag manager so 2 blocks.

Ublock is just easier to use than no script.

Hi,
No popup adds but I suppose on the tpu main page could click on their hardware adds but ublock doesn't block them they aren't popups

I keep seeing one thread as unread even after going through each page, also it says 0 replies when there is three pages.

I've seen this too. Doesn't really bother me though. It's got to be something minor.

Just a heads up, got a couple "502" errors a few moments ago. And the site is dragging it's feet...

yeah, i'm archiving our ad server logs for the summer 2020 months .. export and delete ~20,000 rows per second, which creates some load on the db servers

That's a lot of log. LOL!

Looks like XenForo does not like URI - Uniform ressource identifiers (not be confused with URL)

Launch the Windows Settings app - UWP applications

Learn how to launch the Windows Settings app from your app using the ms-settings URI scheme.

docs.microsoft.com

For example

HTML:

ms-settings:display-advancedgraphics

ends up as

Code:

https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/ms-settings%3Adisplay-advancedgraphics

Any chance to add URI support?
Invision has the same issue, but at least a "HTML source button", where you can manually correct the link.

W1zzard · Dec 23, 2020

ms-settings:display-advancedgraphics

test

Seems to be working as intended? We definitely don't want people to generate clickable URLs that lead to anything not http or ftp

Try with the "insert link button"

W1zzard · Dec 23, 2020

It URL-encodes what's pasted (click the cogwheel icon on the far right of the editor toolbar to see the bbcode)

Do ms-settings URLs even work in all browsers?

Should work with all browsers, but only under Windows.

I made a test link and fixed it manually in an Invision powered forum

URI test

URIs are handy to answer questions like "Where is setting xxx?" For some reason no forum supports it. In Invision you can fix them at least in HTML source mode Some URIs manually fixed Select text line with triple click, then copy and paste ms-settings:display-advanced ms-settings:display-advance...
