messages won't open

hi,

my message inbox won't load. it says 'content server error, please try again'.

I tried deleting the app and re-installing, but all of my messages with people are blank and I can only see the messages I have sent, not received. Even my messages from a couple months ago won't load.

Collection links – how can I display them on the sub/r?

Pretty much what the headline says. I want to display the links to the collections on the sub/r, preferable as their titles. Like this:
StarFlork Academy

Recovering data or getting into account?

Is there anyway to get into account that had a throw away email without knowing the password? My boyfriend posted photos of me without my consent and it’s been killing me to not know the context behind it. He deleted the app and signed out immediately after he was caught. He would be willing to be apart of it since he’s the one who actually had the account but I was wondering if it was even a possibility at all

Can’t upload images in the chat on the app or the webpage.

Suddenly I can’t upload images in my chat. Usually I’ll fall back on the web version but not working there either. Anyone else experiencing this?

Images don't show up in my post

Here are the steps:

- Click "create post"

- write title and text

- in the images tab, I add 12 png images. These images don't show up when I create the post.

- I tried lowering the quality (80%), size (1024*703) and changed the file format to jpg, in case the images were too heavy. Still doesn't work.

Any idea what the problem is?

Ghost replies?

I keep seeing posts that have one more comment than what I actually see. Not even a "this post has been deleted (by the user or mods)" message. It's like the posts just... vanished.

Comments locked

Is there a place to see an explanation for why comments were locked ony post? Or does it just "happen" and never know why?

Is there a way to block from being added to these new sub "chats"?

I was just added to seven different chats related to subs that I subscribe to, so it's not the topic that is bad, it's the chat system itself. I never want to see a chat notification that isn't a conversation between me and another user (or users) in that little chat-bubble, conversations that I have approved. So, is there a way for me that block all forced chat-subscriptions?

I was away for sometime and when I returned my account is filled with PORN

So i was away for sometime on Reddit because I did not find it intriguing to me so i decided to come back here and I saw a notice that my account was on lock and if I reset my password I could continue to use reddit. But the thing is my whole FYP is filled with Porn which i did not join or subscribe too. Could this be a possible hack or the account got into somebody else's hands?

Post stating "Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit's spam filters"

Hey there, I tried to post something in MMA subreddit, but they removed it for relevance. I then posted in the UFC (both are similar subreddits with different posting rules. However, when posting it over there, It was auto removed for "Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit's spam filters".

I reached out to the mods of the UFC subreddit and they said the post was fine, but it was auto-removed so they couldnt see it. I tried to re-post with a different title and wording in the body, but its still being removed.

How can I see the post I requested?

I just submitted a long post to uklegaladvice. I can now see that legaladviceuk has way more members, and want to copy the text to post it there. Where can I see the post that I've requested to submit? I can't see it in my drafts or anywhere like that.

How can notifications be managed ?

How can one manage their notifications ?

Making just a few posts a week, especially questions, can rack up several dozen notifications. Ive got hundreds, and want to keep some as a way of keeping track of things. Not being able to delete (just the notification, not the post and all replies) is ... well, inbelievably bizzarre.

Thinking how it would be to not have any folders in my email app, and not being able to delete them.

"Filter By flair and tags" no longer showing results

When I go to ANY subreddit and start filtering by flair and tags, I have posts at the beginning, but then after 28 posts, loading appears at the bottom, but nothing else appears! What should I do?

Is the "auto quote" function gone for good?

With the old "new" reddit, I can highlight something and hit reply, and whatever I highlight will be automatically quoted in the reply box. The new design no longer has that. Is there still a way to do this quickly?

Bug report: I can access Reddit using my Android phone, but not using my Windows laptop.

When I access Reddit with a Windows laptop on the Web (https://www.reddit.com/), I get a "server error" message and cannot view my profile. The same thing happens if I use the Reddit Windows App.

If I go to https://new.reddit.com I get rid of the "server error" message, but the "Home" button dioes not work. It is as if I had no identity or profile.

Everything works fine if I access Reddit using the Android app on my phone. I can also see my profile on my Windows laptop if I go to https://www.reddit.com/user/lpress/.

Problems with reddit app not pulling new comments.

I've had this issue since last summer when I switched to the reddit app so I don't know if it's a bug or the intended use case. The app just doesn't pull new comments. I can look at a new thread and leave a comment when it's only got 2 or 3 comments and then refesh and it'll still only have 2 or 3 comments. I can come back hours later and look up the thread and even refresh it and it'll still only have 2 or 3 comments and then if I close the app and reopen it and then navigate to the thread it'll have hundreds of comments.

I just tried it with a thread from earlier. Saw it when it had 5 comments and then left one myself. Opened the app and navigated there and still only see 5 comments but when I open it on the reddit website I can see that there are 30 now.

Are they just having the app not refresh to avoid api requests or is there something wrong with my reddit app?

Help! There's p*rn on my profile!

So I was browsing some NSFW subs last night, as one does, when I noticed this evening that one of the profiles I visited had some how cloned all of their posts on my profile, appearing as my posts...

There was no option to delete them, so I had to just set them as hidden.

WTF happened? How was this even possible?
