Bugs

  • Fixed a bug in which the wrong email was being sent to customers who had requested replacement parts.
  • Fixed a bug causing the "add all to cart" functionality to be broken for some products.
  • Fixed a bug where, if a user unsubscribed from their own question, re-subscribing wasn't possible.
  • Fixed a bug where logged-in users appeared logged-out on 404 pages, and clicking "login" caused the page to hang.
  • Fixed a visual bug that affected the "You're Finished!" button at the bottom of guides, causing it to look awkward in some languages.
  • Fixed a bug where links to guides in Spam Review did not link properly to guides in languages other than the default language.
  • Fixed a bug where untranslated prerequisites of a translated guide did not load properly.
  • Fixed a bug in which URLs were not being displayed in the Suppliers table on Wiki pages.
  • Fixed a bug where certain device images were not appearing on related questions in the Answers index.
  • Fixed a bug where certain words in a chain of breadcrumbs would appear in different languages.
  • Fixed a bug that caused introductions to display improperly in guides duplicated with the duplicator tool.
  • Fixed a bug where guides whose tags had been edited could no longer be found when searches were run using their new tags.
  • Fixed a bug where stories that linked to deleted guides could not be viewed.
  • Fixed a bug where keyboard shortcuts on Moderation were overriding normal browser shortcuts.
  • Fixed a bug where questions were not being properly upvoted when subscribed to by logged-out users (who then logged in).
  • Fixed an error that was occurring when users on iFixit Meta were trying to @mention iFixit users who were not users on Meta.
  • Fixed a bug causing display problems in Stories attached to guides that were subsequently deleted.
  • Fixed a bug where guide steps in need of re-translation were not being properly marked as such.
  • Fixed a bug where denied pending changes to a guide step were causing problems when subsequently editing that step.
  • Tweaked the document link that appears on wikis so that it renders better.
  • Before, when loading a guide in a language that was not the user's view language, the user's view language would be set to the same language as the guide. Now, the guide loads without affecting the view language.
