Bug Reports for Sunday 7/21 Update
Hi All,
Feel free to post any bugs that you see as a result of the update we released (today) Sunday 7/21.
In Explorer this morning, wouldn’t let me add a tasting note; hit the button and it threw me back to the dashboard. It’s working OK in Chrome.
Are you still experiencing this? Can you make sure you’re logged in correctly by clearing your browser cookies? Otherwise, this should be fixed now.
Working fine now without any additional cookie operations. (Cookie operation…hmm…I believe I could stand to operate on some white chocolate chip macadamias…)
Glad to hear it’s working.
Cookie operations also made me think of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgDLryzDzYg
Same thing happened to me (but I was accessing via Safari on iPhone, though that usually works fine). Click “add tasting note”, get green “loading” pop-up, then sent back to dashboard without tasting note screen pop-up. Seems to be working in Firefox v.22 (via laptop) though!
I can no longer comment on anything when viewing steepster on safari (v. 6.0.5) on my mac. Visiting steepster.com takes me to my dashboard but in the top right corner it indicates that I’m not logged in. When attempting to comment I am prompted to log in or register but clicking on the links takes me back to my dashboard. Strange!
For anyone with the same problem, I can comment and go about my business normally in firefox so that is a temporary solution.
EDIT: It seems to be a cookie problem. Deleting your cookies (well just the specific steepster data) will fix it, posting form Safari now trouble free. To do this on Safari go Safari → Preferences → Privacy and click ‘details’ under Cookies and other website data. From there you should be able to search for steepster and delete the appropriate stuff. Hope that helps :)
had the same problem on chrome, I had to clear the cookies for the site to force it to log me out, and then log back in.
Thanks for mentioning this, guys! I’m having the same problem in Safari; I’m logged in, but it thinks I’m not. I logged in via Firefox instead, and will try clearing cookies in Safari.
Since I ended up just clearing everything in Chrome here are supposedly instructions for clearing a certain site, I don’t get it but I’m still half asleep if this helps anyone else https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
Thanks! I cleared my cookies, and am now logged in, even though my shopping list is huge now. I better start saving up! (same bug that Kittena mentioned.)
Ah, thanks for this thread! I was having the same issue with Chrome on my Acer, but clearing the cookies solved it! :)
Uh oh, actually maybe not. I still can’t like anything. It says I’m not logged in…even though I am. Clearing cookies doesn’t seem to have solved this part.
Thanks for the cookie fix. I was having that exact problem with using Steepster on Safari; that solved my problem.
Yes, I had the same problem. Although I just brought up Chrome’s Incognito Mode to re-log in. Here’s a screenshot of the error:

You are both logged in and not. View-only. Unable to post and comment.
I cleared my cookies this morning and it was working but now it’s doing it again. I would really love to not have to constantly clear all my cookies on my phone every hour :(
Every time I come back to my computer I am having to clear my cookies and it’s driving me crazy, because all of the other websites that I have open automatically close!
Another short cut, instead of clearing your cookies, is to click http://steepster.com/logout or type that into your address bar. That should log you out and allow you to login again, which should solve that issue.
@BrewTEAlly Sweet: Looks like mobile login is working now. Are you still having login problems?
Another thing – when I click to log in via gmail, I get an error page. Twitter and Facebook redirected just fine, but not gmail (although for whatever reason I could also log in with my email and a password… one that definitely isn’t my gmail password.) So maybe at some point, I had it set up both ways?
Also just noticed that my number of “teas on shopping list” is actually the number of tasting notes I have, both 1880.
Two more things. When I navigate to a tea that’s listed in my cupboard, the tea page says it isn’t there. Also, tea pages no longer say “last drank on x date” underneath “Add Tasting Note”, when it’s a tea you’ve previously tried.
Yes, the date of last drinking is still gone (although I had noticed mine was never accurate before the update), as is the date that the tea was last updated; now it just says who last updated it, but not when they did.
Before the update, the date it was showing was actually the date you first drank the tea, not the last time. It messed up the last time Steepster had a major update and wasn’t ever fixed.
The cupboard thing should be fixed now.
The “last drank” notice was actually removed because it was causing issues, so that shouldn’t be showing anymore. We’re planning updates for the tea page, which is also part of the reason why we dropped that.
I can’t sort my cupboard at all now. Will that functionality be restored? Also not sure if it’s mentioned elsewhere, but I can only view how many teas are in my cupboard from the dashboard. When I go to my cupboard, it just says “IN CHAROMA’S CUPBOARD” with no number displayed.
The sort was causing some problems so we took it out, but we’re planning to bring it back when possible.
The numbers not being shown on the cupboard and shopping list are on our list. Thanks!
SSL for the site isn’t working (i think it used to, but not sure), chrome gives a huge red warning for https://steepster.com saying it’s using an incorrect certificate, Server’s certificate does not match the URL, or some such.
I wrote a tasting note and it didn’t show up on the dashboard; when I checked the “explore” function to see all tasting notes there was actually a post that said I had drank it but not written a note. When I clicked on the “write one?” link, my text was still there, and upon clicking “save changes” the tasting note appeared on the page. But then reloading, its not showing that I wrote a tasting note (and thus it still won’t appear on the dashboard). There are a few other users with notes showing up on the tasting note page without any text on them, but it’s somewhat sporadic.
Aaaand now its appearing on my dashboard, but still shows as “no notes yet” on the New Tasting Notes page.
Also there are two posts by gmathis from 2 hours ago that appear under New Tasting Notes, but one appears on my dashboard and one doesn’t.
Dinosara, are you still having problems with this? Seems to be working properly now.
Yes it does seem to be functional; I haven’t encountered problems posting tasting notes, although I did recently try to edit a rating several times on a previously posted note and it would never save the ratings change.
Interesting – I think tasting notes are now sorting differently on the tea pages, though I can’t figure out exactly what they’re sorting by. Overall likes on all tasting notes you’ve written about a tea?
You’re not wrong, it’s sorting differently. Unfortunately, this wasn’t intended :( We’re looking into fixing it now! Thanks for pointing it out.
I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing? Once upon a time, they sorted by each person’s “best” tasting note (most combined likes/comments), then there was an update, and they then sorted by each person’s “first” tasting note on a certain tea. Now it’s some sort of combo, which is preferable to option two, but option one was still the best IMO.
I was kinda bummed to have my tasting notes demoted (from the previous update). Obviously when I first started I had very few likes or comments and some of my tasting notes got bumped way down when it started sorting but first comment. I get a weird pride out of having a highly ranked note. I need a life!
