| # | Problem | Reported By | Screenshot (if available) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Trying to undo (by either pressing CTRL+Z or right-clicking then clicking Undo) has no effect on the post/comment editor after inserting an emoji using the built-in emoji picker. | @savvyplayer on October 19, 2021 (almost 3 years) | |
| 2 | Trying to edit a post or comment that has already been deleted (which is possible using another Hive frontend) incorrectly shows a successful edit instead of telling that the buzz was already deleted. | @savvyplayer on October 24, 2021 (almost 3 years) | |
| 3 | Trying to login with posting key using an invalid username does not go through without showing any error message. | @savvyplayer on July 31, 2024 | |
| 4 | Trying to login using a valid Hive username but with an incorrect posting key does not go through without showing any error message. | @savvyplayer on July 31, 2024 | |
| 5 | If already logged in, trying to add a new Hive account with a valid username but incorrect posting key redirects to the homepage and shows that the user is logged out instead of showing an incorrect posting key message. This does not log out any existing account that is currently logged in. A page refresh returns the last Hive account logged in. | @savvyplayer on October 4, 2022 | (just the DBuzz homepage) |
| 6 | If the "Show Video Embeds" setting is disabled, it also hides images and link previews. That is regardless of whether the "Show Images" and "Show Link Previews" are enabled or not. | @savvyplayer on July 26, 2023 | (just a typical feed on DBuzz without images, link previews, and video embeds) |
| 7 | The mobile version of the DBuzz frontend does not show the "Settings & Support" -> "Settings" menu on the "More" panel. This makes the settings panel (where image/video embeds, link previews, NSFW post visibility, and Hive API nodes can be toggled) inaccessible on mobile devices. | @savvyplayer on July 31, 2024 | |
| 8 | The "DEX" link under the "More" -> "Professional Tools" menu leads to a DNS address that cannot be found. | @savvyplayer on July 31, 2024 | (page showing "site cannot be reached") |
| 9 | The "Leaderboard" link under the "More" -> "Professional Tools" menu leads to a page under construction. | @savvyplayer on July 31, 2024 | (page showing a site that is noticeably under construction) |
| 10 | Logging out of DBuzz always shows the Vote for DBuzz - Proposal #2 notice even if the said Hive Proposal has already expired. That's even if the DBuzz account that was logged out already voted for the said Hive Proposal. |  @chrisrice on July 15, 2024 | |
| 11 | Checking for updates show ALREADY UPDATE-TO-DATE. The text should be ALREADY UP-TO-DATE. | @savvyplayer | |
| 12 | Profile pictures with transparent background are displayed improperly. The same image, duplicated with one larger than the other, overlaps itself. Examples are https://d.buzz/@luvshares and https://d.buzz/@hivebits. |  @crrdlx on March 10, 2024 | |
| 13 | Change the Add to Pocket option to Add to Bookmarks. Every instance of the word Pocket on the form that pops up also needs to be replaced with Bookmark. | @savvyplayer on July 31, 2024 | (an option saying Add to Pocket) |
| 14 | Clicking on the Menu on a buzz that is already added to all Bookmark categories of the user still shows Add to Pocket. Before showing the Add to Pocket (which needs to be replaced with Add to Bookmark according to issue #13 on this post) option, the DBuzz server should first check if the user has at least one Bookmark category that does not contain the buzz (which is either a post or a comment); the Bookmark category name should directly show that it already contains the buzz without the user clicking or hovering on it first. | @savvyplayer on June 15, 2022 | |
| 15 | Bookmarking a deleted post or comment still succeeds. The selected Bookmark category will still contain the post or comment that has already been deleted. | @savvyplayer on July 25, 2022 | (a message that adding the deleted post or comment to a Bookmark still succeeded) |
