Answer 13

this was shown when i opened my own profile

Answer 14

I don't see a bug here. I just see part of the group page. Also, it was brought to my attention we should probably start using MS Paint. Not Word.

Answer 15

Can you try recreating the screenshot in MS Paint?

Answer 16

A page like this one attached? I run into this page for a split second before it loads the actual page, although I'm not sure if this is what you're referring to.

Answer 17

howd you get that o.O it only loads like 2 seconds for me...barely enough time to press printscreen

Answer 18

I was prepared. I had the right-click menu for "Open link in new tab" ready, and the ctrl+tab and print screen fingers ready. :P

Answer 19

and @AravindG "aw snap" happens only in chrme i think it's their problem :)) lol @AccessDenied =))))

Answer 20

It took two tries to catch it, but yeah. lol

Yeah, that's what I believe as well. It's always annoying to be in a question typing a reply and then the page just turns into "Aw Snap!" and my answer is erased. ;[

Answer 21

sometimes it aw snaps after you press post..luckily SOMETIMES it still gets sent :D

Answer 22

@farmdawgnation the pic that @AccessDenied posted is the bug i am talking of ,ok @lgbasallote

Answer 23

but why only in openstudy .com google chrome has got aw snap ..all other sites its ok @lgbasallote

Answer 24

chrome bug... and that thing you're seeing is what them people call "marker" i think you're familiar with them...kinda like when chris and shadowfiend's pics pop out instead of the avatar pics of users..you've seen those right?

Answer 25

ya a sometimes i see wierd wierd messages like shadow field saying" i am massause or stng

Answer 26

those are markers for messages lol
marker for notifs is "sandra reported darthsid. something about sailboats"
marker for asker and chat pics is shadowfiiend's face
marker for answerer pic and users pic n the front page is chris
marker for profile is chris's fake profile
i have yet to discover the marker for question...any spoilers @farmdawgnation ? :)

Answer 27

why are there markers?

Answer 28

@lgbasallote

Answer 29

well when you make a website or something you have to give it a touch of "reality" you know what i mean? they have to put "something" so the website will work. those "something" became markers

Answer 30

oh bt cant they remove it?
i hav not seen any markers in other sites

Answer 31

i think if they remove it it wont function well :P and you only think other sites dont have markers but they do...like i said..it's the touch of life

Answer 32

bt in other sites the users dont see these markers,i have been noticing these makers only recently

Answer 33

those markers have been here from the start impossible you just saw them recently...other sites just load very fast that the markers dont appear anymore...ours is still kind of uhmm

Answer 34

oh thats the prob cnt they make it faster after 2 years of establishment?

Answer 35

lol they're trying :p

Answer 36

the markers arent really bothersome so i dont think it should be prioritized

Answer 37

So, the correct word for the "markers" are templates. And no, they haven't been here since the start. They were introduced in October.

Essentially the way it works is we use a library called Knockout to populate the interface. It saves us a TON of time in making the interface work. So, what happens is your computer downloads the raw template and then is sent a series of instructions from the OpenStudy server on how to change that to match the current state of the database.

Sometimes a delay in that communication or errors occurring on the page will cause the raw template to seep through.

Now, @AravindG - in relation to the bug you're talking about on page load - that's a styling issue. It's not a bug, it's just a delay in your computer's ability to process how we've styled our site. We're going to implement some code to hide that until it is done rendering.

In regard to the Aww Snap pages, that is most definitely a bug in Chrome, and they are aware of it.

Answer 38

oh darn i gotta stop giving these false info *facepalm*
