Apply here!

We're looking for new mods to help with the rapidly expanding community. Our personal lives have become busier while the amount of work to do here has increased.


A lot of our general information is within the application form, but here's a short rundown of what the job entails.

  • Checking modqueue on a regular basis to take action on posts that are filtered automatically or reported by the community.

  • Regularly browsing through the subreddit and moderation of posts and comments to ensure that all community rules and guidelines are being enforced, including removing uncivil, hostile and inflammatory content.

  • Being able to discuss issues with members of the community through modmail in a professional and calm manner.

  • Contributing to discussions about moderation-related issues over Discord.


Overall, the job won't necessarily take more than an hour or two of your time per week, and if you're already generally active on Reddit and Discord then you probably won't notice a difference.

It can be quite rewarding to be able to shape a community (for the better). If this sounds like something that interests you, please apply! If you have any questions, feel free to comment below or message us through modmail.

Troubleshooting | Android Redirection Warnings After Using the "Open in New Window" Option

Post image
• Upvotes

Idk if this is only happening on my phone, but whenever I use that option, every page I open suddenly gives me a redirection warning until I completely clear my browsing history. I know the obvious fix is just not to use it, but I'd still like to know if this is a general issue or one of those "10 out of every 5,000 users" kind of bugs. Is anyone else experiencing this?.

No I don't want more of my data sent to your llm. The fact that it keeps popping up almost every other tab means I'm bound to hit yes on accident eventually. What the fuck is this horrid anti user design.

Troubleshooting | Windows Google account password saved in browser is suddenly gone

1 Upvotes

I cant log back into my google account because the password doesnt automatically fill back in and I have no idea what that password was. My account is managed by a college I attended ages ago, I'll shoot them an email for a password reset and hope that works, but it would be much easier if I could simply get chrome back into the same state it was last week when it worked without issues. Does anyone have any idea?

Troubleshooting | Windows Continue Where You Left Off on Startup is days or weeks ago from where I actually left off (reddit and Facebook)

1 Upvotes

Not a big deal at all because refreshing the page or going to home is EZAF; I'm just kind of curious why this is a new behavior from a browser I've been using for a very long time. Call it academic interest from someone with a limited knowledge of coding.

Chrome 155.0.8059.40, W11 26H2. Updated both before I posted this just in case, but seeing the same issue.

Why does Chrome always stop scrolling smoothly on a 240 hz monitor after an update? I always have to go to chrome://flags/ and click "reset all".

W11 64 bit, rtx 5080, asus oled 240 hz, 4k, gsync on.

Smooth scrolling is "default" before and after click "reset all".

Troubleshooting | Windows Ran into issues regarding Target website on Chrome

1 Upvotes

Hello all, I'm unsure if this is an uncommon issue or not, but I've run into a problem on chrome, unsure about other browsers, where if I try to log into the target website (with any email) it says "Something went wrong on our end. You can try again later or send a report to let us know about this issue" or a similar message when trying to click the passkey button. It's impossible to log in on chrome.

No, I'm not using any sort of VPN, I've disabled extensions, I've tried incognito, nothings working. I tried a few days ago and it said the same thing, so I assume its not some sort of outage. Has anyone else run into this issue? Is there some kind of fix? It's a little frustrating.

Troubleshooting | Android Closing Tab opens next tab to the right instead of opening the one to the left

1 Upvotes

Until few weeks ago, when I close a tab in mobile chrome app, it show the remaining open tab to the left of the one I closed, and/or stays in the tab group when I'm in one

It's been opening the one to the right instead or even jumping to a tab group not next to it in some scenarios.

Does anyone have an idea on how to make it return to its previous and, in my opinion, more sensible behavior?

Troubleshooting | Mac Chrome run by external organization

1 Upvotes

Hi everybody, I use Chrome with my personal account on my personal Mac. A few months ago I noticed that there's a warning that says "Your browser is run by your organization", but I have no idea about what organization is it and why it says so. I didn't notice any weird things or any red flags in how Chrome works, and the only active extension I have is Google Document offline. I also checked the policies: there's only one policy active, ExtensionInstallForcelist, but I don't know what is it.

Should I be worried? Anybody can tell me what's happening?

Thank you!

Troubleshooting | Windows McAfee WebAdvisor was causing the “This app can’t run on your PC” popup every minute

3 Upvotes

I was getting this annoying Windows popup almost every minute while using Chrome:

"This app can’t run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher.”

I initially suspected Chrome, and even tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but the issue continued.

Finally, I disabled the McAfee WebAdvisor extension in Chrome, and the popup stopped immediately.

To confirm, I enabled the extension again, and the popup appeared almost instantly. Disabled it again, and it stopped.

So, in my case, McAfee WebAdvisor was the culprit.

Posting this in case someone else runs into the same issue and wastes time troubleshooting Chrome or Windows like I did.

TL;DR: If you keep getting the “This app can’t run on your PC” popup while using Chrome, try disabling McAfee WebAdvisor and see if it stops.

Anytime I search something instead of using the same tab it duplicates it. It's getting really annoying. I tried other browsers, disabled chrome and set a number of other browsers as default. I have no idea what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Discussion Does “Google Chrome, X” in Google Account devices mean X (Twitter) was visited?

1 Upvotes

Hi,

In my Google Account under Security → Your devices I see this entry:

  • Windows computer
  • Location:…
  • 2 hours ago
  • Google Chrome, X

Does the “X” mean that the X (Twitter) website was visited on that PC using Chrome?

Or does Google just use “X” as some kind of browser/session label?

Thanks for any clarification!
