Two methods of how to assist me in keeping this sticky up-to-date:

  • Reporting: Please use the main Forum to report glitches and bugs in regards to GAIA Online, or to the appropriate sticky if staff have one up or the such. Please do not use this thread, as I have pretty much found myself not with the time nor patience to browse through reports people post in my sticky due to so many of them essentially being repeats and problems already listed.
    • How to report: To report a glitch, the most I can say is when reporting in the forum, please use this sticky as your guiding light in how to report:

How to report a Bug/Glitch

  • Before reporting: PLEASE always make sure to review my Sticky (Not the entire thing, perhaps just the latest updates and the category in which you think the glitch would be listed under) and also the Q&A Problems Sticky, as if its listed already, there is no reason to report it again

    If you are a bit too lazy to read through, try the new Glitch List Searcher feature to search for certain keywords.

  • After reporting: PLEASE do be patient, this is an extremely slow forum, as its stated in the rules, perhaps while you wait for myself or perhaps someone else to come along with a useful answer, please maybe take time to read over the BR&TS Rules and Guidelines Sticky so you know what to expect and what to/not to do
  • Informing: If there IS a glitch that IS on the list, which has been resolved, or you've thought you may have found a workaround or developed one yourself, you may contact me via PM to inform me about the fact that it is no longer a problem or post in this topic to inform me.

    If you see a glitch that people have been reporting which however is NOT on the list, please do not contact me by PM or post it in this topic
    I may be slow sometimes with updates to this sticky, but will get it listed as soon as I can.

    Anything listed under the "Major" lists are usually critical problems that are most likely being worked on immediately by the developers staff.

    These problems can often totally effect your online experience on the site either by making a feature completely unusable or multiple features unusable.

    Anything listed under the "Minor" lists are issues that are still annoying and bothersome, but do not make the feature unavailable at all, as much as it just causes a certain portion of it to work incorrectly

    Entries with a * after the title is there to note it was copied from the Official List in Q&A

    New Problems and Issues

    User Image
    1. Post editing
      Seems when editing a post, rather than after submitting the edit, and it redirecting to the post you just edited, it redirects to the last page or last post of the topic. Possibly only an issue with large threads?

    2. Signature Lab
      Ketira reports that people who use the signature lab to create a signature, apparently can no longer manage their signature from the account management area manually.
      NOTE: Possibly can be worked around by going to this page directly.

    3. Flash Games
      As there always has been, there are issues with people connecting with the flash games still to this day, this isn't necessarily always server side, which has brought up discussion of different flash versions providing people the ability to connect where as others can't.

      Recently Adobe released a new flash around the start of December (Flash Player 9.0.115.0). This particular version was a security fix to potential exploits in previous versions of flash before the release, however this release also seems to have by a majority of reports, broken all ability to connect to the flash games some how.

      The main resolution to this is to revert back to an legacy release of Flash Player for your browser before the 9.0.115 release, the main one before that was 9.0.45 which one can do by following these steps.

      1) Download and run one of the following uninstallers depending upon your OS platform:

      • Flash Uninstaller :: Windows
      • Flash Uninstaller :: Mac OSX
      • Flash Uninstaller :: Mac OS 8/OS 9

        NOTE: You will need to have all flash utilizing software closed, this includes your web browser open now.


      2) Download one of the flash installers (for simple grabbing, I hosted them on my own server), and run the installer for your browser, again you will need to have your browser closed during the install, these are the recommended versions per-OS to use for the flash games to actually work.

      • Flash Player 9 (9.0.45) [Internet Explorer] :: Download
      • Flash Player 9 (9.0.45) [Non-IE browsers] :: Download
      • Flash Player 9 (9.0.48) [Linux/Unix Platforms] :: Download
      • Flash Player 9 (9.0.45) [Mac OSX] :: Download


        For reversal purposes, listed are the latest Flash versions available incase you wish to re-install and try with the latest Flash player direct from an .exe installer.

      • Flash Player 9 (9.0.115) [Internet Explorer] :: Download
      • Flash Player 9 (9.0.115) [Non-IE browsers] :: Download
      • Flash Player 9 (9.0.115) [Linux/Unix Platforms] :: Download
      • Flash Player 9 (9.0.115) [Mac OSX] :: Download


      Please note that by all means, by using these versions, you are potentially putting your computer at risk by using an exploitable (though rare to be exploited as long as you browse safely) flash version. So just make sure to browse safely. (note the 'exploits' aren't something that people would be able to exploit THROUGH towns to you, so you don't have to be concerned with that). More information on the 'Exploits' in Flash for the technical curious, can find them at This Page

    4. Jigsaw Items
      [Re-listed] It seems some of the items being granted from the 'Jigsaw' game are causing to show up in the inventory as thumbnail placeholders with no item graphic. Also if they are attempted to be sold in stores it causes an empty store slot to be filled with an item that cannot be bought and apparently cannot be canceled.
      UPDATE: Possibly resolved? Anyone still having issues with this?


    User Image
    Resolved Problems and Issues

    User Image
    1. Housing Arena Disabled
      Housing arena has been down for a long while with no explanation why last I saw, will update if I hear more.

    2. Wishlists/New Items
      There is a glitch which has been occurring with newer items (over I believe with all items released over the past two months roughly at least) where they cannot be added/viewed through the Wishlist system.

    3. User Shops refusing to Update *
      When some users try editing the description of their shop, the message "Invalid Entry, please click back and choose a reasonable name and description." appears.
      Workaround: To fix this try changing the name of your shop at the same time you edit the description. Simply changing that description as well as changing the name allowed seems to allow the description to go through. After that feel free to go back and change your shop name back to whatever it originally was.

    4. Missing Word in Error Message
      Quote:
      General Error
      The item requested is longer in the marketplace. Click here to go back to Marketplace
      The word "no" is needed after the "is" and before the "longer."

    5. Gift Giving Disabled
      No word why this is disabled at this time, but it is.

    6. Marketplace Error - Buy failed
      Some users have reported recently that when attempting to buy something in the marketplace, their gold was taken, but the bid or buy failed and did not go through. This seems to result in their gold disappearing while the item remains up for sale and the seller does not receive the gold. Use the marketplace at your own risk at the moment. If this happens to you, you will likely not get your gold back.

    7. Updated Information on Marketplace Errors
      Kava
      "Your Store is Full"
      Some users are getting an error message: "There were one or more errors while processing your request Sorry, your store is already full" though their store has less than four items in it. If you experience this, you please contact a Purple Dedicated Moderator and they should be able to help you with it.

      Transaction Locks #1/Expired Items
      Update Mar 7: Locks should now not last longer than about two days. If you get a lock on an item that fails to clear up within two days, please report it in the Transaction Reports Thread
      The transaction locks affecting a majority of Gaians occurs when an action taken in the marketplace 'fails'. This causes the item to be locked, and does not allow any further modification to the item listing by buyers or by the seller. The item also 'expires' but remains in the marketplace. The seller cannot confirm/accept bid or do anything else with the locked item. This is a known issue and is being looked into.
      Extra Info
      More Expired Items
      There are also items that were placed up for 'auction' and do not automatically send to the highest bidder when the time expires, and require the seller to go in an manually 'accept' the bid. You can tell the difference between this and a transaction locked item by viewing the item history and seeing whether or not the last action on the item says, "Fail!" If it doesn't say fail, the seller might be able to manually accept the bid!


      Transaction Locks #2/Unable to sell
      The second transaction lock prevents sellers from placing any item into their vend stores. This is also being looked into, but we have less information on it. If you have a vend account and get a transaction lock error everytime you try place something for sale, please report in this thread:
      Transaction Reports Thread


    8. Pagination Limitation
      There seems to be a glitch which will not allow you to go beyond page 25/26 within the forums and the GGN, while forums will show nothing more than 25 pages, the GGN will show more than 25 pages, but will only let you go as high as the 26th page.

    9. New Posts Icon Not Working
      This has actually been going on for a long time now. For many users, the icons on threads do not show when there have been new posts since their last login. The icon only seems to change to indicate new posts made after these users have logged in.

      This also causes the 'new announcement' notice not to show up for the announcements forum if a new post has been made since they last logged in.
      UPDATE: Is now confirmed as still a problem with some members, so its staying in an unresolved status

    10. Flood Notices
      [Re-listed] People are still apparently having issues with this, getting a 'Flood Wait' message even though its been longer than the 45 seconds - 1 minute posting wait time.

    11. Word Bubbles in Towns
      Users with non Alpha-numerical characters in their names, seem to have problems with the talk bubble showing up above them in towns.

    12. Post Styles
      It seems the 'Posting Styles' options for posts are now missing, both in posting new topics, replies, and editing topics, replies.

    13. Rare Events
      Currently down, said to be getting fixed as soon as possible.

    14. Item Arranger
      Item arranger is currently disabled.

    Major Issues

    User Image
    1. Foreign Characters in Passwords
      Some of the 'Password' validated features (Bank, market) seem to have issues with some passwords that have non-alphanumerical characters in it (as in, anything that is not 0-9, a-z, A-Z).





    User Image
    Minor Issues

    User Image
    1. Random Log-outs
      [Re-listed] Been affecting some people lately again, re-listed for the time being even though it seems to be rare for most to experience random log-outs lately.

    2. Script Debugging Errors
      People using Internet Explorer browsers at times are getting "Script Debugging Error" messages, that show up in certain areas of the site, such as moving the mouse over building on the map, the subscriptions page, and the "Close tags" button in the reply boxes, and possibly other areas.

      You can workaround the annoyance of this message that pops up by doing this:
      Script Debugging
      Tools >> Internet Options (click)

      Go to the Advanced tab, and check the "Disable Script Debugging" checkbox.
      Javascript Error
      Tools >> Internet Options (click)

      Go to the Advanced tab, and un-check the "Display a Notification about every script error" check box.

    Minor Issues

    User Image
    1. Post Preview Timestamps
      Minor error with 'Post Previews' box when posting a reply to things. The time stamps within there are not showing based on the users account set timezone, so it tends to make things confusing sometimes when trying to make a reply and noticing an odd time stamp.

    2. Signature Emotes Broke
      Emotes seem to not work in the signatures again o.o
      UPDATE: It seems to mostly be in Forum/Pm related areas, profiles seem to correctly create the emote from it.

    1. Cannot get to Inventory page/bank/market
      Error found in your database, please contact a moderator online or send us a feedback at gaia@anihq.com immediately





    User Image
    Minor Issues

    User Image
    1. Unable to toggle Profile Type
      Its been noted awhile back that the 'Old School' profile option is only available for accounts that were registered before the new profiles came out.

    2. Unable to choose GMT
      In the profile where you choose your timezone, it seems users are unable to choose GMT itself as a timezone they are in.

    3. GAIA Housing - Missing Button
      The button in the profiles and tool panel underneath siggy areas in posts is currently missing the View members house button. You can still view other member's housing by placing the uID of the member you wish to see at the end of this string:
      http://www.gaiaonline.com/games/housing/?mode=viewer&u=
      To get a members uID number, just click the profile button and grab their number from after the u= part of the URL.

    4. Mistyped Link from Anniversary Ball Souvenir
      Zrana
      I was going through my inventory.

      Remember those letters from Gambino after the Anniversary ball stuff?
      I went and looked at my post I received, then I went to click on 'okay' to go back to my inventory.

      This is the link I got:
      http://clyde.gaiaonline.cominventory_pginventory_pg/

      Just thought people should know that gaia has an improper link.

      Basically, if users click on their anniversary Gambino picture to view, then press "Ok," they will be redirected to an error link.

    5. Mysterious Birthday switching!
      In your profile, when you type in what your birthday is, some users are experiencing a problem in which the birthday is incremented or decremented by one day upon saving. It seems to only occur when inputting either 31 December 1988 or 31 December 1984.

    1. Bad Exchange Return URL
      It seems when you try and exit the Exchange pages to go back to the Shopping system, it points to the old store URL and therefore just ends up telling you the stores are disabled.

    2. User Not Authenticated
      If you get this error while in the stores, simply just log out of GAIA and re-log back in, as this should solve the problem.

    3. Engraving
      Gift wrapping recently with the release of the Avatar 3.0 System has come back up, however Engraving is still down (Rumoured to perhaps never be coming back).

    Minor Issues

    User Image
    1. Missing Trading Pass
      Some users have noted since the release of the new bank, where they used to actually own a Trading Pass, the bank doesn't seem to realize that and it makes them purchase a new one.
      At this time only information I can give is wait a bit and see if it resolves itself, or purchase another one for 500 gold.
      UPDATE: Lazuli Kitten has found out this may not entirely be accurate. Apparently now if you try to initate a trade with someone whom does not have a trading pass, it will tell you that YOU don't have one, where as it really should provide an error stating the other user does not have one.

    2. Purchasing Vending Pass
      With the new banking system released, seems there is already a glitch with purchasing a vending pass, as the box to enter your pass and purchase it does not always show up.
      To work around this and purchase the pass, assuming you do already OWN a Trading pass, use the following link (if you hafe 1000 gold, it should show a box saying you already own a trading pass, but also giving you a box to enter your pass and purchase the vending pass):

    1. Issues with Invites
      When it comes to invites, after an invite has been sent and the person has declined an invite or what not, you will have to wait a week or two before being able to send a new one.

    2. Deleting Threads
      Captains/Vice-Captains and Crew when they delete threads, the threads have a habit of sticking in the forum for a few minutes as due to lag they don't immediately 'Delete'

    3. Join Requests View
      The page that shows Join Requests is not paginated, so it only shows about 10-15 entries per page I believe it is. There can be more than that, but they don't show up until you accept/decline the other requests, and they'll show up one at a time as you go through them.

    4. Guild Stats
      Certain stats such as # of Users, Posts and such never decline (Say after you would do a full guild clean up of deleting all threads and kicking all members if you just sold the guild or something).

    5. GGN 2.0 Released
      With the GGN 2.0 Release thanks to Dark, there is still many features to come and probably numerous bugs to be found and ironed out as in any project, here are some links to help assist you with how to report these problems and find more information to inform you with the new GGN system:

      • January 9th, 2008
        Finally made a decent update to the list, thanks to ketira for giving me a list of some stuff that needs updated.

      • November 3rd, 2006
        Made major changes to the guide of how things are now listed, structure, graphics, etc.

      • April 5th, 2006
        I haven't made a news update here in like forever xd
        Still here and still updating the sticky when I can : P

      • October 30th, 2005
        Finally got the list updated, went through the list, got and listed all the resolved issues, updated a few entries and added a couple new ones.

        Coming soon: I'll be adding a mini FAQ to the sticky, mostly for the issues that people report as glitches/bugs, which really aren't, so i'll try to have that within a few days

        Important Sidenote: Tonight is the DST rollback, set your clocks back one hour if your within Daylight Savings Time affected zones, as the list now is back on EST (Eastern Standard) rather than EDT (Eastern Daylight) updates xp

      • October 28th, 2005
        I've been extremely out of date with the list in the past like two weeks? now nearly.
        I've many many things which have been keeping my time occupied, from GAIA fully for the most part let alone bug reports here.
        I'll try to get everything up to date fully and get back into the game when my work hopefully this weekend will be finished, prob Friday night into Saturday sometime, until then if you want a more recent list of glitches lately, I'm sure Aldo has been keeping his up to date, so I recommend checking in out:
        http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8599773

      • October 14th, 2005
        Few Resolved/Updated entries in the 'Recent Entries' category, also listed a few new entries over in the GAIA Towns list rather than in the recent entries section, so check those out as well.

      • October 2nd, 2005
        I finally went through the Casino and Housing reporting threads, took things that were recently posted and things I knew were problems and finally got them listed up, copied the GAIA Towns glitch list from the one major list in the GAIA Towns forum (details found under the GAIA Towns glitches category) yesterday as well.
        For now i'm going to leave the GGN listing empty, with it so fresh out of the workstation so to say xp , going to let that go since darknrgy seems to be constantly making updates to that thing and patching here and there.

      • September 29th, 2005
        Well, Glitches & Bugs v2.0 (with a side of information xd ) is now up and sorta launched.

        Got bored with the old lay out, and with new features coming out and all that stuff, I wanted to make more room to expand and cover more things without having to try to clutter categories and so on and so on. Hopefully ya'll like the new style, I found it hopefully better to use (more simple and such). Yes at this time, GAIA Casino/Housing and Towns are all empty on the second page, my apologies for that, over the next day I will try to update those with glitches after I go burrowing through those threads 3nodding
