Describe the bug
Over the past week, Chatbot Arena has encountered several critical UI/UX and functional regressions that heavily impact usability. These bugs persist across Windows 11 Pro on multiple browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) including Incognito mode, confirming it is a server-side/CDN issue and not a local client cache problem.
Steps to reproduce & Details
-
Font Rendering Asset Failure (UI Regression):
- Symptom: The custom fonts fail to render, falling back to a raw, un-aliased system sans-serif font (as shown in the attached screenshot).
- Technical note: Checking the browser's inspect tool shows that the font-family CSS rules are defined correctly, but the actual font assets are not loading or displaying. This points to a broken CDN link, expired SSL/CORS policies for assets, or missing font files on the host server.
-
Broken Chat History Search:
- Symptom: The search bar in the sidebar now strictly filters chats by their generated title.
- Previous behavior: It used to perform a full-text keyword search across the entire conversation body, displaying a list of all chats containing that specific word.
-
Infinite Generation & Timeout Errors:
- Symptom: Models generate text indefinitely, eventually crashing with a response error.
- Example Trace ID:
f387b61df2b7d396ce546f9e50929ed8
-
Broken Discord Invite:
- Symptom: The Discord community links on the website are currently invalid or expired, blocking new users from joining.
Expected behavior
- Web fonts should load correctly from the CDN/server assets.
- Chat search should scan conversation contents, not just titles.
- Stable text generation without constant Trace ID timeouts.
- Updated, working Discord invite link.
Additional context
Tested on Windows 11 Pro across all major browsers. The issue is persistent and global.
