Since a couple of days I'm no longer able to view more than 5 comments nor to add one myself. This happens on two different up to date android tablets, one with an older firefox (the last one allowing about:config), the other with nightly.

Any idea what changed on the site last week?

    Do you get any error messages in the console? There have been changes made to the site's Javascript, that was the reason SeaMoneky stopped working.

  • Thanks @RobertLongson for reading my post before commenting. I'm afraid it's a 68. Can't check the nightly currently. In the mean time I found meta.stackexchange.com/questions/372734/…, where it says "fixed" ?

  • @Luuklag, I'll be sure to give that a try this afternoon, looks an interesting exercise.

  • Does clicking on the vote count to see the breakdown between up- and downvotes work for you btw?

  • It doesn't, the timeline does, and clicking on my inbox often gives me my profile (even when the URL says tab=inbox). Someone at SE must be enjoying h(er/im)self.

  • @GerardH.Pille see meta.stackexchange.com/q/372590/361484 for the reasoning behind all this (probably)

  • @Luuklag, that's the same as in my comment above ... 'where it says "fixed"'.

  • Pff, remotedebugging, had to install a desktop version 68, which upgraded faster than I could disable it. The fifth time I installed it as root, which prevented that carroussel. The console shows: "TypeError: l.replaceAll is not a function", stub.en.js:1.861.

  • At position 686 I see "l=function(e,t,n,o){...}" while replaceAll expects it to be a string prototype.

    LOL. Closed because "this question already exists", pointing to a question added 15 hours after mine, 6 hours after I found the cause. I'm good, but not clairvoyant.

replaceAll needs a newer javascript engine. On Android eg., it needs at least Firefox version 79. See developer.mozilla.org. It mentions that core.js has a polyfill for that function.
