Hi,
THANK YOU willie for making this app. This app is my daily driver for updates but I'm having some problems recently. It seems that it doesn't refresh at all.
Here's the traceback text file and a screenshot. I hope it helps.

I dont wanna be a schizo but there's been SSL certificate issue in chrome not on firefox. I dont know its my server issue or something else.
When I'm going to some certain website cloudflare security doesnt let me through in chrome BUT in firefox it lets it through.

that sounds like the issue. chrome is using your system certificates, just like f95checker, and firefox is not.

this stupid chromium is making me mad. Firefox's working just fine. It's same issue in Linux too. Damm it.

i doubt chromium is the issue. f95checker doesnt use chromium. what it does use is your system certificates. either your certificates are out of date, which means system out of date, or your clock/date are wrong.

I have to look around. Thank you for listening this.

That sounds like a weird issue. I mean, who doesn't run Windows update?

Oh no. I think I am going to get a million responses. I shoulda kept quiet.

only other reasonable option is a man in the middle attack. someone intercepting your communication, could be public wifi, could be your internet provider, could be a weird kind of vpn/proxy, could be a neighbour. why firefox works would be because i assume they enabled DoH or DoT (DNS over TLS/HTTPS), which allows your browser to safely get the destination ip addresses without chance of someone returning bad DNS results. ideally, DoH and DoT would be done at system level, but windows is years behind on that front, and on linux its possible but not default nor easy.
or maybe it could just be wrong dns, again explained by the above with doh/dot but not due to man in the middle, just someone blocking access to the ip address.

- update
- fix clock and date
- try changing dns
- try with a (different) vpn

heh, windows. its so stupid that it manages to hurt itself.

I've used your app when you made it public and NEVER I've seen firewall doing like this. It doesnt even notify me.

if youre into conspiracy theories, maybe microsoft is doing this on purpose to gaslight windows 10 users to install 11. jokes aside, i havent seen it do that ever either, but dont find it odd either, ive learned that with windows you should always expect the worse because more often than not its close to it

umm I tried that on windows 11 and it works with firewall off. Take that as you will.
Update: It works fine on Win 10. Contacted the service provider. It's working fine without the firewall off. Thank you for listening in this stupid journey.

I created an email tag that explains Windows fairly accurately:

Windows has a:

• 64-bit GUI for a set of
• 32-bit extensions on a
• 16-bit shell for an
• 8-bit OS using a
• 4-bit kernel made by a
• 2-bit company that can't stand
• 1-bit of competition.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but thought i should report, this mod is not being updated to latest version in checker even after multiple retries, rest are working fine.

Edit: Worked now

I've also noticed that f95checker updates a game entry but still shows the old version without info popup.

https://f95zone.to/threads/cursed-affection-ep-8-daniels-k.220191/
Both title and post version entry were updated correctly there. Refreshing the checker won't grab it somehow.
Deleting the game from the list and adding it by URL again doesn't update the "Ep. 6" entry correctly either.
The game version jumped from 6 to 8 if that matters somehow. The "Last Updated" date was still correctly updated in the checker, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed any update at all.
The game update isn't shown under the "latest games & updates" section, maybe that's the reason?

About the yellow "updated" marker: I usually delete all the games with their updates after playing them and only mark them as "finished". I don't use the "installed" feature, as you typically have to download the newly updated full versions anyway.
It would be convenient if the "finished" marker also removes the yellow "updated" icon instead of additionally using the middle click.

I have a question, Is it possible to have 2 "stortings" of the game list, I'm using the installed tab as my main sorting to get the games with updates to the top, but would like to have a secondary sorting that sorts the updated games alphabetical.
