Recent In-Game Bans

Recently, jammers have been banned for removing a large amount of buddies and other similar actions. It seems that Wildworks has added a spam filter to protect against the recent bot raids, but the issue is that it is applied to a lot of regularly used in-game features. Be careful and do not attempt (if you can) to do anything repeatedly or too quickly. Many users have reached out to Wildworks, so this issue will (hopefully) be fixed soon. Stay safe!

This is a continuation of AJ Classic & AJPW Data Breach, which discussed the recent security breaches on AJ Classic and AJ Play Wild.

You can view the original thread to see the full details, but the main thing to take away is that you need to change the password to all your player accounts and your parent dashboard if you haven't already. If you reused your AJ password anywhere else, you must also change those passwords as well. You can visit https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and enter in your parent email to tell if your data has been compromised.

If you've been facing any troubles or technical difficulties with your AJ accounts, you can submit a request to Animal Jam's support team here: https://help.animaljam.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

This is an organized thread to report bugs experienced on the wiki after the UCP migration. Feel free to respond to this thread detailing any troubles you've experienced that were introduced with the UCP migration. Hopefully Fandom will be able to fix these issues over the next couple of months.

Site-wide issues:

• Broken galleries

• Collapsed, sortable tables with two table header rows not showing the bottom header row

• ImportJS scripts not working

• Extremely long loading times

• Empty notification/warning while editing in source mode

• Unregistered users now allowed to post for some reason even though they are not supposed to

• Links to pages in the Thread namespace no longer redirect to the UCP counterpart (a little concerning for the Voting Archives...)

• Hidden categories show

Individual issues:

• My message wall won't work

• Double posts on the Discussions (per AwesomeA1733)

• Can't save pages without previewing first (per Seventeenths)

Things Fandom changed/removed on purpose (for the worse):

• Wikitext

• Forums

• Polls

• Soundcloud player

• Wiki Activity

To keep things optimistic, here are some features Fandom added with the UCP migration:

• Reporting system

• Mobile-friendly Discussions
