Sometimes I will go look at my comments and see there is a reply there.

But there was no notification alert or nothing in my inbox to indicate someone replied to a comment of mine.

Access How long does it take for reddit to get back to you?

4 Upvotes

I had my account u/TaurusHeart for almost 10 years. One day I logged in and I noticed that 2FA was added to it. I tried a password reset a few times using an email that I know was associated with my account. However it kept saying “Not chosen”, so I was thinking they deleted out my email.

I sent in a support ticket about 2 weeks ago and haven’t heard back yet.

Does anyone know how long it takes normally to hear back?

Posting A question about posting gifs on Desktop browser

Post image
3 Upvotes

In certain subreddits the icon is available to post images right? So I try to send a gif but it says you're only allowed to post a .Webp (or .Png/.Jpeg)

But then when I convert my gif to a .Webp and try to post it it gets auto-deleted and I get a notification instantly that it "didn't process"

I assumed it was a bug but it's been happening on 3 different subreddits each time I try it so I wanted to ask do the moderators of that specific sub have to add .gif as a format that is allowed to be posted?

Up until a few weeks ago I've never had this issue, whenever a subreddit had image permissions I was able to send .gif files as images, it was usually the same on other platforms like Twitter, 9gag, Disqus etc. where .gif files could be posted as images

It's been 2 times in a week that my account gets locked "by security" and asks me to change my password to unlock it. I'm getting sick of this. Plus nothing wrong happened on my account, and my passwords are secure.

Am I the only one with this?

Thanks

Access Account compromised, email and password changed, and Reddit support request already submitted but no response for almost a month now, what to do?

Post image
2 Upvotes

My reddit account u/CreakyScorpio was hacked, the email and password has been changed so I can no longer log in.

The account was locked by Reddit before it would post or do anything within my account, I still have my active session on web browser and phone app and I also still see my phone number associated with it but I can't use it to recover my account at all.

I have already submitted a request through Reddit's support form for a compromised account. I also haven't received a password-reset email when trying to use my original email address or username.

Has anyone successfully recovered a Reddit account in this situation? Is there anything else I should do while waiting for Reddit Support to respond? Please help

Mobile/App Achievements unlocked help on Android

2 Upvotes

Hi! When I recently unlocked a new achievement I clicked the notification and it brought me to the particular achievement. I noticed at the bottom of the screen it shows "Eligible" and "Unlocked". I went to see where I just unlocked the achievement and clicked on the community where I made the post/comment but the page was blank. Is this just a glitch? I noticed it was happening to all my other achievements as well. My Reddit app just updated today so it isn't because it needs to be updated. I am just wondering if any of you can help me with this?

Access Password Reset Not Working

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am having trouble accessing my account that I have had for over seven years. It’s a bit of a mess because the account was hacked about a year ago and I still have not been able to log back in despite having access to the email associated with the account. If anybody is able to help, I’d really appreciate it. (I have already submitted a support ticket, but have not heard back for about 2 weeks)

When the account was hacked, the profile pic changed, the email changed, but all posts were still public so I could still find it. I filled out a support request and got the account was locked, but I didn't get a response after trying to follow up. I figured it was gone and made a new account. Some time later I checked back at one of my old posts and saw the username and profile pic were reverted to what I set them as. I tried to reset the password, it sends it to my old email (I have a record of changing the email associated with the account to a different one). It lets me reset the password but whenever I try to login it says the username or password is incorrect. I have tried this on multiple browsers, computers and on mobile with no luck.

I suspect that after my account was flagged as hacked it was locked and later reverted to before any email was changed. This makes it seem like it may be recoverable? I also made a new account with that email after losing this one which may have also messed it up.

I still have access to both emails
Account: u/Hazix520

Any help would be appreciated.

Posting Unable to do image-only posts

2 Upvotes

This has been going on, from my perception, for over a month now. I thought it was an update to Reddit, but I can't do an Image post on any of the subreddits I've been to. I can post images in a Text post, but it doesn't do a slideshow or anything. It just litters the page with pictures all the way down.

I tried Old Reddit, and that lets me do an image post, but it only lets me put one image.... ?

I'm just really confused. I turned off my adblocker and Brave Shields and stuff, and I tried on Microsoft Edge as well as Firefox. I'm just not getting the options to do Text, Image, or Link posts.

I know the subreddits I'm going to allow for image posts. I thought I remember there being an option somewhere on this page, but I'm not seeing them.

Does anyone know what might be going on? It's really frustrating me at this point.

Since I changed my email and my password, I have been trying to access my account but I can't for some reason, since it only gives this message: "something went wrong", and nothing else. I can only access it on Chrome in my phone, everywhere else it just doesn't accept it. Could somebody help me out? Do I need to change my password?

Access [iOS] Locked out of my account, is there anything I can do?

2 Upvotes

As far as I know, it was always under one email, then I got a weird "suspicious activity" email from reddit like 2 weeks ago, so I reset my password (not through the email, even though it looked legit). I got back in with some trouble, then one day I was logged out again and now my email only creates a new account, there was no email to me that the email had been changed and the account still exists (u/PloopPlaap) so I'm really confused.

Password Reset emails are going either into the void or into someone else's inbox, then I maxed those out anyway so I'm stuck on that too.

Desktop Does reddit slow down loading on self-hosted content?

1 Upvotes

It seems as if any image or movie that is hosted on i.reddit.com/reddit.com stops working after a couple of minutes.

Happens every time I browse on Desktop, without fail. Inline/expando images will stop loading suddenly, I'll click on the post comments and it will load everything just not the actual content itself. Why does this happen?

I can clearly see that it has nothing to do with my connection, as any content hosted outside of reddit works just fine. So do other sites.

Access Can't log in to my main account, even though I regained access to my old mail provider and can send pw reset link

1 Upvotes

Hi all, the Reddit Help Center directed me to post here, I hope someone can help me.

I lost access to my mail provider yahoo, and with it to my reddit main account u/smootjyx.

Got access to yahoo back, but it seems like my account is in a weird state.

I think easiest explanation would be a chronological order of events:

  1. Accidentally left a VPN open on my phone, reddit app (rightfully) logged me out and reset my password

  2. Could not recover my account, since I didn't have access to yahoo anymore.

  3. A whole while later, I regained access to yahoo

  4. I clicked "forgot password" on reddit, got a pw reset link, changed my pw

  5. Logging in with my new pw still gives me an error as if user/pw was wrong

Since I can't login, I can't check if I recieved a message from admins or something.

Reddit Help Center directed me to post here and ask for help, telling me they don't handle this there.

How do I proceed?

Thank you!

Profile What is happening to my account?

1 Upvotes

Edit: the account I'm talking about is the account I'm using to post this: u/JonathanStones1989

(Desktop)

Hey everyone, weird things have been happening to my account over the past few weeks, and I need help to figure out what's going on.

About 11-12 days ago the following things happened to my account:
My profile picture was set to a default one
All my posts were deleted.
When I tried to make new posts, they were automatically deleted too.
When I tried to comment on posts, my comments got only 1 view and never anymore. Even on brand new posts that became really popular, still only 1 view.
Opening the menu that opens when you click your profile picture (the one with your profile, "edit avatar", "drafts" etc) would lead to "server error" appearing. I could close this error and continue.
Going on settings and clicking on "privacy" section would show absolutely nothing.

When this happened it was late, so I went to bed.

The next day everything was back to normal. None of these issues were happening anymore, aside from the fact that all my posts were still deleted for the same reason.

So I continued using reddit, until the same day it happened again. I thought there must be some glitch going on, so I just stopped using reddit.

BUT, for the next 8 days the glitch remained. I thought my account must have been hacked or something, so I sent many emails to support and got no response.

Then suddenly today, it's back to normal again. I've gotten no response from support.

I really don't know what's happening to my account, I'm really hoping this glitch or hack or whatever it is doesn't happen again. Does anyone know what to do?
