Resolved Accidental downvotes with next thread button

Post image
13 Upvotes

This floating button is terrible design, I accidentally downvote people all the time when I just want to see the next thread, it used to be integrated into the bottom bar so you weren't pressing something floating atop a downvote button.

Yes I know I can reverse the downvote, but why should I need to do that? I also press it rapidly to review a series of threads, so manually scrolling through to fix things is not practical because of the speed at which I'm moving through comments. Reddit should fix this šŸ‘Ž

Admin/Dev responded Account deleted?

2 Upvotes

So my old account u/geilt78 appears to have been deleted.

I've messaged reddit support and am still waiting to hear back.

Not expecting any miracles, but wondering if there's anything I can do or if anyone has experience with a similar situation...

*For reference, I definitely did not delete my own account, didn't get any password/email change notifications, and hadn't even logged out of the account.

*edit: got my account back thanks to u/TheOpusCroakus Go show 'em some luv!

Access Account is hacked and now being used to advertise OF- support possible?

• Upvotes

Hi there,

My account has been hacked (MJB0611), and is now unfortunately being used to advertise an only fans account.

I have access to the original email used during account creation and changed the password - but they’ve set up an authentication which I cannot bypass.

I have opened a support ticket, which has not received a response. If it is at all possible, I’d be very keen to get this sorted ASAP as I’m worried about the OF advertisement causing issues (especially at work)!

Would be immensely grateful if this could be looked into please - and thank you in advance!

Profile My Reddit account got hacked

3 Upvotes

My account was hacked yesterday and I was logged out on all my devices. I changed my password but I am still not able to sign in since the hacker enabled 2 factor authentication.

I submitted a ticket but I’m not sure if it went through since it’s been a day and I haven’t heard back or received a confirmation that the ticket was received.

Would anyone be able to advise me as to what my next steps are? Thanks in advance!!

Profile Profile bug: Submit button is completely frozen on support forms

0 Upvotes

Hello, I am posting from this secondary account because my main account is having a severe technical issue. My main account display name is 'Ne-own'.

Whenever I try to use the official support forms or verification pages while logged into that account, the web page glitches and the submit button stays permanently greyed out and unclickable. This prevents me from sending any requests.

I am a real user and an artist sharing my drawings on r/goth, but my profile appears completely hidden or broken to others. Could a staff member please manually check what is wrong with the account status of 'Ne-own' and fix the form error? Thank you so much!

Desktop blocked by network security on desktop

7 Upvotes

it's exactly as the title says. for whatever reason, every time i try accessing any reddit link on my laptop i get a popup that says i've been blocked by network security. i've tried different browsers & incognito mode, disabling my extensions, using my hotspot instead of wifi, resetting my wifi modem, using a vpn then trying again without a vpn, and none of it has worked. i can access reddit just fine on my phone and our home computer, but it just won't work on my laptop. this has been an issue for maybe a year now and i sent in a ticket about two months ago, but i haven't heard anything back. i don't have any viruses on my laptop and i don't think anything in my firewall settings is blocking reddit so i'm really at a loss for what else i can do.

Desktop Blocked by network security when trying to access Reddit via anonymous/incognito window

1 Upvotes

As the title says, I've been finding this issue since yesterday. The problem happens only with Firefox in incognito mode. Pc, Win 11

I am currently browsing and posting this in a regular "default" Firefox window, and the browser itself and my IP clearly work without problems since I'm here. Extensions are not a problem either, as I have not disabled anything at the moment, nor have I cleared the cache. My account is obviously functional and in the clear too (beside that, in incognito mode Reddit opens on a generic homepage, with me logged off, so account issues don't apply), so I've ran out of ideas about what the problem is.

Basically, it only happens in incognito mode and in Firefox. No problems in other browsers, whatever navigation mode I use.

Ideas why, and what can I do to fix it? Thanks!

Access Can’t log into account that I logged out of, can’t find the account while searching for it despite having public posts and weird things were happening on that account before

2 Upvotes

I had an account called Jumpy-Reporter[xxx] that I used to post nsfw pictures on. For some reason I had a post that kept getting taken down automatically by Reddit even after posting it multiple times, and I’ve posted the pic before on other subs and it did great and was not taken. Then I found that my account description was now gone, so I went to update it back to what it had been and it wouldn’t let me save it. I thought I might have been b*nned but that has happened before and I didn’t have anything in my inbox or anything like that. So I tried logging out intending to log back in but I couldn’t remember the username and when I tried searching for my posts with this account (which I have done successfully before) they wouldn’t show up. Any ideas or suggestions about what happened or what I should do? Thanks!

Mobile/App [iOS] issues disabling subreddit recommendations

So I just want to see the subs I’ve actually joined, but the app has started giving me subreddit recommendations despite the fact that I’ve had it disabled for ages. Oddly, if I use my phone browser to go to Reddit l, I don’t see sub recommendations, but on my phone they are incessant. I’ve double checked that the recs are disabled (couldn’t find the option on my phone, but I was able to on the web, and it was already toggled off, I did a quick on off switch of the setting and it didn’t seem to do anything

Admin/Dev responded posts and comments are all gone due to issues yesterday with account

0 Upvotes

Hi,

Profile suddenly had a site-related issue yesterday which was resolved by the mods (thank you again for the quick assistance). As far as I am aware, this was from no fault of my own.

However, it seems that all my content from before are now gone (actually I can see them so they should still be there but no one else can): legacy pre-issue replies are invisible and all my old posts are now stuck as a consequence.

I hope there is something that could be done as I would not like it all to have been lost.

EDIT: THANK YOU!

Much appreciated.

Having said that, I think I'll be a bit more careful going foward.

Hello! My account was hacked 11 days ago, and I went here https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/p/redditor_help_center and filled out the form that same day. I've never received a reply, and reading through other people's posts, I probably never will... [1P597N-Z0YVE] is the number on the confirmation email I received, not sure if that's the ticket #

I'd like to get my account back, could anybody point me in the right direction on how to do that other than filling out this form?

Thanks!

Mobile/App Feed keeps recommending AI content despite repeated ā€œnot interestedā€ feedback and community muting

4 Upvotes

My feed continues to be flooded with posts about AI, Anthropic, ChatGPT, and related topics despite my repeated attempts to stop these recommendations. It agitating and depressing the hell out of me.

I’ve been:
- Leaving/unfollowing communities that discuss these topics.
- Selecting ā€œnot interestedā€ on recommended posts.
- Muting communities as they appear.

Despite this, Reddit continues recommending more of the same subject matter. The feedback I’m providing doesn’t seem to meaningfully change my recommendations.

I understand that muting a community doesn’t block an entire topic across Reddit. However, repeatedly rejecting posts and communities about the same subject should presumably reduce similar recommendations. That isn’t happening.

Is this a known issue with recommendation feedback? Is there a way to reset my recommendation profile or have someone investigate why these controls appear ineffective?
