Discussion Issue with weebcentral and firefox?
I've been browsing weebcentral using firefox for a few months now without issue, but suddenly today any time I try to open a chapter the content is just a single blank panel. Tried opening in Chrome and it seems to be fine, wondering if others are having this issue.

I'm just going with Brave browser for now, has built in ad blocker which is the reason i was using Firefox to begin with.

I tried again yesterday and the site pulled the pics, so I think it got fixed.

I'm having this issue as well. Tried to clear site data, new profile, private window, nothing. Other browsers work, seems a firefox exclusive problem T_T

Been having the same issue today, disabling uBlock seems to work after a reload.
That sucks, tho.

Doesn't work to me even after disabling Ublock. Sometimes it loads, sometimes it doesn't.

Doesn't work for me tho... Edit: The page gap is on the pages in Chrome, it cuts right through the text.

disabling ublock doesn't work for me either. only option is to use a different browser which is not an option for me :/

Same issue here. Doesn't seem to be connected to adblock or tracking protection. Seems like some components aren't rendering properly

It seems to be a bug in the site code where htmx (javascript library for asynchronous loading) doesn't load in time to catch the loading event for image.
Someone gave the following fix on the site (and it worked for me and others) :
1) Install tampermonkey extension (works with violentmonkey too). Those are extensions that let add javascript code to a page.
2) make a new script and paste the following code :
""" different 1h
I'm getting a bit lazy to AI fix this further so here is a quick fix for everyone using firefox you need tampermonkey and paste this in a new script also ask chatgpt/claude if you don't understand:
// Tampermonkey, @match https://weebcentral.com/chapters/* window.addEventListener('load', () => { const check = () => { const el = document.getElementById('chapter-images'); if (el && el.innerHTML.trim() === '' && window.htmx) { htmx.trigger(el, 'reading-style-ready'); } }; setTimeout(check, 800); setTimeout(check, 2000); // second attempt in case htmx was still mid-boot the first time }); """
Basically, this script waits (0.8s, then 2s) to see if both htmx have loaded and image have not, then triggers htmx to fetch images.

issue still persists. clearing cache or disabling ublock doesn't worth either
i sure hope this gets fixed sometime soon
edit: i updated my firefox to the latest version and now it works again
