Re: V2.2+ Official Bug/Polish Thread
#201For some reason, ever since the last recompile for the new code, the shoutbox has been acting strange. It's been displaying five or six shouts that were done earlier. It's not a double post, because it has the original time, and if you reload the page, it's not there right away, but it pops up in a few seconds. -
Re: V2.2+ Official Bug/Polish Thread
#202A little polish&bug collection, gathered while having to edit a large number of submissions due to category or freetext issues.
For anonymous users, the Profile page is empty - not only the user info is missing, the page is _completely_ empty.
Hidden submissions, if having multiple authors (co-owners), should be visible to them, not only to the original poster.
Having to clean up plenty of special characters, I got finally fed up with them - for how long will they plague us yet? If there is no way to kill them in the database, then we need a search engine able to locate them buggers. A sample few: –€™ - if there's more let us know.
(Aside: our dear Dragon Lord seems to quite a source of them, watch out for his comments. :) )
The link to the flashchat does not work in the forums except from the main forum site and a few others - broken link.

Oh, and this one: enlarge the textbox where the comments are written by one line. ;) -

Re: V2.2+ Official Bug/Polish Thread
#204Might I request that the word spelled with a "c" and then an "ock" be removed from the autocensor for the forum? In the two moderated RPs going on right now, that word has been used multiple times, always in a non offensive context (or as a part of another word), but they still get blocked. While most of the other words in the filter should be there, that one is used in so many different contexts and words that it getting blocked seems almost counterproductive. A cockpit isn't really an offensive term, neither is talking about the cock's crow, or cocking a crossbow back to fire. -

#206Database Error
Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator
Got this message when I tried to view my private messages. It correctly reports 1 message in there, but I cannot see it. All I got was this error. -

#207Mysterious 1:
Okay, try reconstructing this:
Click on Items on the navigation bar below the site header. Does it now read Items 1?
Click on lifeforms, NPCs, Plots and Systems. Do they follow the same format (lifeforms 1, NPCs 1, etc)?
They do for me (in all browsers I tried). -
Re: V2.2+ Official Bug/Polish Thread
#208A couple of rare/low prio ones:
When submitting a sub the first time, if there is something wrong (missing categories, the summary, etc), the post will be broken apart by slashes - newlines turn into \r\n and so on.
On the submitting page, half of the sword's picture on the bottom is displaced. (html table issue for sure)
The parsing of HTML links is a little weird, can be seen especially if there are more... see http://www.strolen.com/content.php?node=2221#11719 -

#209Random sub in the right hand main site column is broken. -
Re: V2.2+ Official Bug/Polish Thread
#210The chat has been plagued by lag gremils: sometimes you type something, and it makes the "post" sound, but it doesn't actually post it. Also, I've been having a problem loading pages. The browser thinks it's loaded, but there's nothing there. Reloading fixes it, but it's annoying. -

Re: V2.2+ Official Bug/Polish Thread
#212I reworked all my settings and installed the opcode cache APC which is the cache system that is going to be released in the next version of PHP. I think that should all take care of the blank page problems and multiple errors that have been popping up all too occasionally.
Again, all this is MY fault, and no fault of the server. I am learning the server pretty good though. :) -
Re: V2.2+ Official Bug/Polish Thread
#213When trying to click on any of the Toppermost sub-catagories in the main catagories (Types for Items, Location for Dungeons, ect.) the website tells me that There be no submissions for that there type.
This is one of the links now:

And this is what it needs to be:

Re: V2.2+ Official Bug/Polish Thread
#214Thanks Pariah! I updated some of the code to get rid or some PHP warnings (not errors) and the bug you found was that I didn't initialize a variable before I did the check on it so of course it wouldn't have a value. Fixed now though.
Thanks!! -

I know! I know! Well, don't know why, but know how: same thing happened to me when I have suggested a submission. -
Re: V2.2+ Official Bug/Polish Thread
#220ok, I finally discovered a bug!
when I attach a link(picture from the internet, not sub link) into a sub or scroll, something weird happens. At first, it works just fine...but then :what: if I ever go back to edit or touch up the sub (leaving the link untouched!) when I click out again, the link has doubled...replicating itself, like some foul, heathen death god from another galaxy.
When I click back in to fix it....the screen gets all wide and the picture links keeps replicating...endlessly.
I am stumped. -

#222Things are getting extremely weird on the Citadel. :)

Re: V2.2+ Official Bug/Polish Thread
#223Minor/Polish:
Inconsistent behaviour(?) - in the History of Hewdamia Codex, in the Third Era linked sub, there is one reply comment visible (1467#7020).
The norm, as I remember it, is that the replies-to-comments are not shown in Codices at all.
Man, am I a nitpicker. :) -

#224
Having to clean up plenty of special characters, I got finally fed up with them - for how long will they plague us yet? If there is no way to kill them in the database, then we need a search engine able to locate them buggers. A sample few: –€™ - if there's more let us know.
(Aside: our dear Dragon Lord seems to quite a source of them, watch out for his comments. :) )
I've been searching a little around, and found only one of them special characters via the Advanced Search: š
Now, how do these characters look in the database: Ã‫Ⓚ™? If we can find that out, we could squash them once and for all... or at least have a means to find them, and keep squashing them until they vanish. :) -
Re: V2.2+ Official Bug/Polish Thread
#225
Oh, and this one: enlarge the textbox where the comments are written by one line. ;)
Look at this toy....

#226Smacked down all but one bug. (probably-time will tell)
I modified the search so that it is working within reason (probably-time will tell)
I updated the Freetext to the next level of usefulness
Hit the Polish a little bit. -

Blockquote hidden will blockquote the entire submission when split in a codex.
Comment replies do not show up in codices. (not sure if this was intentional...it shouldn't be) -
Re: V2.2+ Official Bug/Polish Thread
#229On the submitting page, half of the sword's picture on the bottom is displaced. (html table issue for sure)
Different angle, same location: editing a sub or making a new one, the sword seems to be whole. But when you open some 'explanatory part', that defines the type of submission, etc., the sword parts in half. Closing it makes it whole again.
Now, if you try to click around with the hints on the right side for a change, the sword will not part, but may become displaced (as noted before), or the page may become unnaturally long, even after closing them. But with further clicking around this can be amended.
This is not really a bug, more of a design weakness, that most people won't ever notice. So Low Prio. (Not sure if it is browser dependant, talking Firefox here.) -

#230If you add a scroll, then edit it later and remove ALL content, you lose the ability to later edit it or even remove it!

Re: V2.2+ Official Bug/Polish Thread
#231Oh, and it would be nice if the default recent posts was longer then 5...
I submitted 5 at once and they have all already rolled down out of view :(

#232Is it possible to set this to give each new post a week in the "new posts" column? SOme weeks we have five or six, then we'll suddenly have 15... -
Re: V2.2+ Official Bug/Polish Thread
#233Is there a way to look up a given author's subs and sort it by most recent comment? I can look up subs by author and sort it by most comments, but that's not what I want. -
Re: V2.2+ Official Bug/Polish Thread
#234Also, when you switched the theme, it messed up the way the "Who's Online" was set.
Thanks Ria.

#235Today at 09:31:09 Ancient Gamer - Any reason why all submission comments are in all caps? -
Re: V2.2+ Official Bug/Polish Thread
#236Can't test it, but I might have fixed it but then made caps somewhere else as well. :) -
