Hello, Bunni. I don't know if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I also have a problem: I updated the ''Verdun'' page with new images a week before the website upgrade. These were processed and shown correctly. But now the older images are back on the page.--[[User:HighPhigh|HighPhigh]] ([[User talk:HighPhigh|talk]]) 09:51, 10 September 2022 (UTC) | Hello, Bunni.

Upgrade Issues
If you notice any upgrade issues, or hit any errors on the site, you can let us know here or email manager at imfdb.org
Known Issues
Issue: MediaWiki no longer allows accented characters in page titles. 1,606 pages that had accented characters in their page titles have been moved to new pages with the Broken\ prefix. Plan: We are working on a script to automatically move these pages to new pages with valid titles.
Issue: Some images are missing. Plan: We are working on a script to automatically pull these images from the backups.
Issue: Full SSL encryption is now enabled. If you were logged in via http your cookie may no longer be valid. Fix: If you see errors related to 'session hijacking' clear all imfdb.org cookies and log in again.
Panzerbüchse 39
The Panzerbüchse 39.
There is a problem with this weapon. The link is not working. The German letter (ü) does not work in the link. --Emto_PL (talk) 08:47, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks, this is the same issue as the page titles. There is a script to 'fix' the image titles but I'm not 100% sure of its consequences so I'll try it on the development server first and report back. --bunni (talk) 16:19, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
"Keep me logged in" doesn't work
Every time I visit IMFDB after previous closing of the browser, and even after I closed the tab with the browser still active, I have to log in again, despite I check the "Keep me logged in" box every time. This happens regardless of whether I performed any actions, or just visited the site. I changed the previously used eight-digit password to a ten-digit one, as recommended, but nothing has changed. I use Firefox, hadn't a chance to test in on Chrome or Edge. Sorry to disturb you with this issue, it's not a fatal problem, but it would be good to solve somehow in the future, it if possible. Thanks. --Greg-Z (talk) 15:38, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
- Can you try specifically going to the https://www.imfdb.org version of the site? You have to type it in manually in the search bar, you'll know you have it because the you'll see a lock in url bar. For me that keeps me logged in on Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. If you have restrictive cookie settings or a cookie blocker that might also be logging you out. We'll move to a 100% https site for everyone next week. --bunni (talk) 16:25, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
- Following your instructions, I typed the address and was redirected to http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Main_Page with crossed out lock in the url bar. Then I logged in, checking the box, then closed the tab, opened again the HTTPS address - and was not logged. Sorry, maybe I did something wrong?
- If you click the Random page link does it take you to a https version with a lock in the url bar or a http version with a broken lock? For me I don't get a redirect if I manually type https in the url bar and Random page sends me to https with a lock in the url bar. If Random page doesn't send you to https then you may have a 'preferHTTP' cookie that keeps redirecting you to http, you could try clearing cookies in your browser for imfdb. In Firefox if I click the lock there's a dropdown for 'Clear cookies and site data...' --bunni (talk) 17:06, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
- As far as I know, I don't use any restrictive cookie settings or a cookie blocker. At least I had no problems with keeping logged in the old version. I'll try to inspect my browser for any possible cookie problems, and also I will try to install Chrome and test it. If the problem will still exist, and nobody else suffer it... OK, it's not fatal, I will just log in each time. :) Thanks! --Greg-Z (talk) 16:51, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
- When clicking Random page, I get into HTTPS page with lock. I installed Chrome, and everything works perfect, so the problem was only in Firefox only. After cleaning Firefox cookies, I'm logged in correctly, so looks like the problem was on my side and now it is solved. Thanks for advices, and again I apologize for disturbing you. --Greg-Z (talk) 17:24, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Thank ya
Ey, Bunni. Thanks for upgrading the website for us, I finally now have access to this account (after checking my spam folder on my email). I've seen the reports of it that was going on the Talk:Main Page and the development on it, glad to see it finally worked out there. Also, I'd give thanks to User:Ultimate94ninja too since I asked them about the problem I was having earlier. --XSlayer300 (talk) 01:32, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
Another Issue
Hello, Bunni. I don't know if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I also have a problem: I updated the Verdun page with new images a week before the website upgrade. These were processed and shown correctly. But now the older images are back on the page.--HighPhigh (talk) 09:51, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

The replaced images (after waiting the usual little while) had successfully updated themselves, but after the site upgrade a couple days later they reverted to their older versions, and are still stuck that way.
