1. Check an announcement!
If user experiences a problem during some new project push, it is probably
temporary and will be resolved after push is completed.

2. Can you reproduce the problem?

To make sure the problem is real:
Clean up the cache and cookies
Log out and log back in
Is it still reproducible?
If it is reproducible, please provide the following information:

OS: Mac? Win? WinXP?
Browser: IE6? IE7? FF? Safari? Opera?

Brief description of the problem
Steps to reproduce:

Examples and templates are below.

3. Before you report the bug, please check other people's reports!!!!

4. Please report 1 bug in 1 post

REPORTING A BUG

Provide detailed and useful information when reporting!
The purpose of reporting a bug is so that later on a Developer will have enough information to reproduce the problem and resolve it. Reports made that do not provide useful information and are vague with no detail will be deleted.

Be descriptive in your title
Don't just put "Bug" in your title. For example, if something like Cinemas isn't poping up, put "Gaia Cinemas isn't popping up Bug."

Quick Format for posting bug reports:

Here's an example of how to write a bug:


Computer Specs:
Windows Vista Home Edition
Internet Explorer 7.0.6000.16609
Flash 9.0.115.0

Location:
Slots (Upper right hand corner of game)

Bug:
Playing winnings button does not work when you have over 10 winnings awarded

Reproduction:
1) Go to www.gaiaonline.com/
2) Log in as a user: user name and password
3) Go to the web page www.gaiaonline.com/games
4) Click on Slots
5) Pick any available room
6) Click on the Join button
7) Click on the Play Token button
cool Click on the Spin button
9) Repeat steps 7-8 until you have at least 10 winnings awarded

*Current winnings will display the number 10, right below Tickets and Tokens on the left center side

10) Click on the Play Winnings button

Result:
The button will not work. The current winnings do not decrement (decrease). The spin button does not work since no winnings or tokens are used.

Notes:
Any useful information goes here, such as how often this occurred.

If you notice for the above bug, it is very detailed and concise. If you were to go through the reproduction steps, you should be able to reproduce the bug, or if it is uncommon, occasionally reproduce the bug. smile


How NOT to write a bug:
Example1:

Computer Specs:
Windows

Location:
Slots


Location:
I don't remember

Bug:
The slots machine didn't work.

Reproduction:
Play slots by putting in tokens.

Result:
The slots machine didn't work.

Notice how everything is vague? If you were to try to go through the steps again, you would not have a clue where to start. Try to be as detailed as you can by giving any information such as: computer information and what you were doing before, if you used any power ups, etc. This way we can narrow down the possibilities.

Result:
The Love Machine achievement is not granted, regardless of whether or not the user logs out and back in and/or refreshes the page. Also regardless of whether or not the user sends another valentine.

[Obscurus]

Myself a some other users have been granted some Heralds of Chaos achievements that we did not earn. This seems to be related to the event that is going on right now.

The day the event started I logged on and went to the event page and the Heralds of Chaos achievements related to wins all popped for me even though I don't have the required wins. I've seen other users say that the same thing happened to them in regards to visiting the event page.

I'm running Firefox on Windows XP. I have not attempted to reproduce this bug.

I have to wait 11 minutes between each PM sent. I know this isn't right. I've talked to others and they don't seem to have this problem. I'm a mule account but I also have this problem on my main account (Tangled Puppet). I've even recently cleared my cache. I've had this problem since I came back to Gaia about a year ago. It wasn't a big deal until recently when I needed to send out multiple PMs for my shop.

Hi, Please contact customer service.

Thanks

Browser: I use Chrome (This effects any)
Operation system: Windows 7 (Any truly are affected)


Step 1- Log onto www.gaiaonline.com

Step 2- Switch into certain "I AM" items

Step 3- Open Towns

Step 4- Choose An Area

Step 5- MOVE

Supposed to be Result: Normal moving, normal activity as if it still had the green blob


Actual result: MASS FREEZING, Certain "I AM"s will freeze themselves and others (ranging from 1 to All) and do not unfreeze it exiting Towns 1.

Side Note: This is upsetting a lot of people. I don't care if you have to temp put the green blob back, But it would be nice to see this fixed asap before Towns 2 has to come out.

Computer specs:
-Windows 7
-Firefox 18.0

Location:
-Forums and guilds (might be fixed in guilds now though?)

Bug:
-Some images not showing and displaying "user image" instead.

Reproduction:
-Go here: http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/breedable-changing-pets/sc-hiring-820-vday-event-and-grams-2/t.79377659_16

Result:
-In the first post there are three images that do not show in Firefox, but yet with me sitting here at my computer, dual screen, I can have that exact same page open in IE and all the images load just fine. I've cleared cookies and cache from FF and am not the only user experiencing problems. It's always the same images that we can't see.

Notes:
-Some people say the images work fine in Chrome, but I don't have that browser, so I can't check myself. I just know that they do work in IE, but not in FF.

All browsers, green goo dots whenever trying to equip OMG (hat). I counted 6 dots or so, grouped in 2 differentbplaces.

It's annoying how such an expensive item has such glitched display.

I tried all poses, naked, and clothed, everything. Hope the artists fix it soon.

Unreproducible error. At least I tried several times now and it didn't happen again.

The dancing gift trunk floats up, I click on it and it disappears.

Happened twice about 15 minutes ago. Tried to get it to appear again and it didn't.

Thought you'd like to know.

Another item that can't be sold... :/

My issue is not with one of your flash files or my browser, so I don't believe system is required.
When you're about to post something and hit "Preview", the preview shows that many symbols are available and will work when posted, when they actually just turn into squares when posted.
Up is how it looks in Preview Mode, down is how the finished post looks.

Computer Specs:
Windows Vista Home Edition
Google Chrome Version 24.0.1312.57 m

Location:
Gaia header achievements page

Bug:
Millionaire achievement does not grant properly/ Possible Score Exploit

Reproduction:
1) Go to www.gaiaonline.com/
2) Log in as a user: user name and password
3) Have one million gaia gold
4) Get the "Millionaire" achievement granted popup
5) Click [from the popup] to go to the event Achievements landing page
6) Find the "Millionaire" achievement granted [and stays granted]

Result:
The Millionaire achievement says it's granted [via popup] but it is not granted. After reaching 1 million gold, I got the popup telling me I achieved/was granted my Millionaire achievement. I followed the popup to my achievements page and found it has not granted. It still shows under the Available Achievements and with zero progress.

I tested something by temp moving my gold to a friend. To see what happens if the gold drops below one million and is built back. Once that temp trade got cancelled and my gold returned to over a million again, I received the false popup notice of a Millionaire achievement grant. I should also point out that it does add 200 points to one's score each time the it shows the false grant.

That cannot be good as anyone unknowing or wishing to purchase anything [who is affected by this Achievement glitch] using their gold could be seen as exploiting a glitch. This hardly seems unfair. Am I now expected to halt purchases and selling due to this? :/

By the way, I'm not alone.


Edit: I logged into Gaia today [February 19, 2013] and received the popup once again saying I have earned the Millionaire achievement. I followed the popup and it has now granted it and place it under the Newest Achievement and Completed Achievements section. I am no longer experiencing the above glitch but the others at the thread linked above maybe.
