Troubleshooting / FAQ

What's Octransfur?

A yearly art event in the transformation community taking place in October.
See here for details.

I just made a bid but I don't see it here yet, what gives?

To prevent re-downloading the journal every time, the results are kept in cache for the next 90 minutes. If you want to ignore this feature, uncheck "Use cache", but keep the proxy's rate limit in mind.

Some FurAffinity avatars aren't loading

This happens because of CloudFlare's security headers.
To resolve it, go to the FA journal's URL and slowly scroll to the bottom, fetching all avatars in the comment section. Then come back here and reload the page!

There are problems with downloading journals

Either FA is down, or you've hit the rate limit for the CORS proxy I'm using. Try again in an hour!

I got a message saying "Wrong journal format"

After downloading the journal, the script reads all the comment threads, expecting the first comment in each thread to contain Bid here for, with all the subsequent comments containing either the price or SB.

Please check out any of the preset URLs for an example, and try to find a journal with the same format as CrizBN's.

Alternatively, FA might've changed their webpage templates since this page was last updated, breaking the parser. Please let me know if that's the case!

The "Use cache" checkbox is greyed out and can't be changed

That means you're currently offline, so the page will try to load any available cache, even if it's outdated.
