More fixes deployed today:

• Some users encountered issues with using items: specifically, books, food and potions. We've fixed the code for these three item types and they should now be working without issue.

• Various pages were not showing item names correctly, such as the vault, quests, and SBQ. This has been fixed and item names should now be showing where they're supposed to across the site.

• The Filled Wardrobe achievement was not activating correctly. You can now activate/update this achievement by visiting the Organize Items page.

• Fixed an issue with starting a new game of Bluff

• Fixed an issue with collecting points when finishing a game of Dark Matter Dice

• Fixed an issue with the Subetapedia Colors and Species Reference not working correctly.

• If you have a Gold Account and are still seeing advertisements on the website, please clear your browser cache and they may go away. We are aware this isn't working for everyone though, and I am prioritizing fixing this asap.

• Finally, we've continued to roll out code improvements aiming to reduce site lag. These are often not straight up broken features, just inefficient bits of code here and there that add up. We've been diagnosing them using our server tools and rewriting code and queries starting with the biggest ones.

More fixes are in the works! In particular, we have been working on getting quests to reset correctly. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding as we continue to tackle things.

I advise making a topic in the Suggestions forums :) We can discuss it further there. It's not an unreasonable preference to have, but I'd like to see more discussion of the suggestion before we make any changes, because I know there are also users who prefer having the images there and would be sad to see them go.

There was no deliberate change to the drop-down menus, and in fact the code for that page has not been touched for months. The JavaScript just stopped working for a very unexpected reason. Sometimes coding be like that :x

A few more updates for you <3

QUESTS CRON - It seems like everything reset correctly last night, which means we may have finally fixed it! We will continue monitoring over the next few nights to see if it is consistent. If you notice something fails to reset, please let us know here: [topic not found]

LEGACY SHOPS - You should be able to access them again. If you are still having problems, please post on Can&;t access legacy shop items

ADVERTISEMENT ISSUES - We have fixed the problems with disruptive and page-breaking advertisements. If issues are not fully resolved for you, please clear your browser cache and cookies completely.

More fixes are in the works, and I'll keep you posted! Please note I may be less here the next few days due to the holiday.

Please post on Can&;t access legacy shop items

I can't answer questions about specific bug reports. I can only reassure you nothing is being ignored. You can see the latest staff replies here to help you stay in the loop. I'm not able to mention every fix and update in these site-update posts, most will just be posted on the relevant bug report when I have news to share.

Just as a quick update on things, since it's been a while since my last update, and I know you guys like to hear from us.

1. We previously had some issues with Subeta correctly redirecting HTTP to HTTPS. It would only redirect some of the time, not always. Now, it should always redirect correctly which means all traffic through Subeta will be guaranteed secure and encrypted. (Note that this was already the case as long as the links you've used to access the website begin with https. It was just that, sometimes, the site could still be accessed through HTTP and was not redirecting correctly.)

There's still a known issue with user code; that is, if users use imgur or other image URLs that are HTTP in things like forum signatures and pet profiles, those image links may not be secure and your browser may warn you about those. There is a limit to how much we can do with offsite links, since we can't control the security of other websites, but I am looking into ways to automatically fix these links around the site to the extent that we can.

2. The issue with quests not resetting is still being actively worked on! We promise we're doing our best, it's just a slow(ish) process, since we have to wait until midnight to know if our fix attempt worked. has been working on it and making changes to it every day. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience since this means a staff member has to manually reset quests every day and there might not always be a staff member online at midnight exactly to do this.

3. Finally, I just want to let you know I'm still working on the remaining bug reports in the forums, and I really appreciate your patience as I tackle it all. The ones left over are the ones that aren't as easy to fix, and I'll post updates on each bug report topic as relevant. For right now, I just want to briefly update that I'm still actively working on things and they have not been forgotten or abandoned. <3

Happy 2020!

Hi! I'm back with another update.

First and foremost: The long-awaited autopricer update is here!

For the most part, the autopricer still looks exactly the way you are used to. But we have made MAJOR changes to how it works behind-the-scenes, to make sure it always finishes autopricing successfully.

The main difference you will notice is that it will send you a sidebar event when you finish, and you don't have to stay on the progress bar page while you wait.

☕ Bookmarks were fixed and now work correctly again!

☕ Several issues with sMail were fixed, and it should now be working correctly.

☕ You can now create wardrobe drawers without issues again. The drawer will show up immediately in your drawers list and you should be able to start sorting with it immediately as well.

☕ The Friends Online sidebar widget was fixed.

☕ Forum group pings previously failed if there was an apostrophe in the forum topic title. This has been fixed.

☕ The issue with forums showing double ads was fixed.

☕ The mass turn-in pages for sP vouchers and SBQ invitations were erroneously taking your vouchers/invites even if they were locked in your inventory. These pages have been fixed to no longer take locked items.

☕ Some of you may have experienced issues creating and editing forum group. These issues are now resolved!

☕ This one is not a bugfix, but a quality-of-life improvement: You can now recategorize items in your vault in bulk by checking the checkbox on each item, and selecting the new vault category from the dropdown at the bottom of the page.

Hey guys! Bug has a list of things that he is working on. I know that alerts is one of them. Thank you for your patience!

I will ask about the limit on the forum groups.

Sometimes it gets stuck. Try again. I have reset it for you!

Is the limit of 5 groups intentional? Apparently it was old rule, but we've created more than that for Survival purposes, and now the limit is seemingly back without any word or announcement that it ever was a thing or that it was reinstated.

The limit was never officially removed, but I think the code that checked for it was glitched for a long time. I didn't mean to fix it, but it got fixed as a side effect of the code I fixed. I've increased the limit to 15 because you are right that 5 is too low. (I did this yesterday actually and I guess I forgot to reply lol, I thought I did but I must have misremembered)

What would be optimal?

Just made a post in the other topic, but uh, thanks for the discussion. I increased it to 20 :)

I reopened the thread for that error as we thought it was resolved. Can you post there with the users that you are trying to sMail.

sMail glitch?

If your autopricer is still not working, could you please file a ticket with the details: which shop it is, what day you tried to autoprice, and describe how it is not working. Tell whoever gets your ticket to please forward it to and I'll work with you there to find out what's going on. :)

Quick debrief in the interests of transparency, since there were some issues just now, I just want to let everyone know what happened. I was resolving some issues with billboards and advertisements today. (Getting all the major debugging done BEFORE Survival starts!)

The site experienced a few problems while I was tweaking things:

1. At 6:52 Subeta time, Gold Accounts started erroneously seeing advertisements around the website. This was resolved at about 7:00, so about 10 minutes.
2. At 7:19, webpages showed up blank across the site. This was fixed at about 7:22.

Right now, advertisements should be showing correctly again, not shown to GAs, and no more pages should be broken around the site.

Thanks for all your patience today and the past couple of days! As you might have noticed, I have been doing a lot of work to make sure things will run smoothly during Survival, tweaking code to make sure all the major features are working, sometimes breaking stuff a bit in the process (sorry!! it's not on purpose I swear) Now I'm finally done messing with code, and everything should be in order! I hope everyone has a great time this Survival, fingers crossed it's smooth sailing from here on out. <3

Just so no one panics - We're aware of the site error/downtime at 10:54PM - 11:03PM, this was due to some tweaks to resolve a wardrobe issue that I was reminded of tonight, and it is fully resolved now. That was actually the last known wardrobe issue we had left, so... that part is good news at least :)

How did you sign up for a virus?

If you signed up for a new virus from 2020, it should start within about 2 hours after you sign up for it, unless you chose the "Random" option which would be immediate.

For all the older viruses, after you sign up, you would need to go to the Survival Forums and get bites from someone else who has the virus. The word "Bite" will change to "Infected" under your avatar in the Survival forums if you are infected. You can also ask other users to let you know how your strain is progressing. :)

If you still have problems getting a strain, please make a bug report in this forum, include which virus strain you signed up for, and I will take a look!
