For some reason my replies to the "useful free apps" thread aren't working - I fill in the box, hit submit, and it reloads the page without having added my post I'm using Firefox.

I'm using Opera and having a similar problem. I made a post but wanted to edit it, so I went to edit and anything I typed wouldn't appear in my message after I edited. [addsig]

I have the same problem with that particular thread. Everything else seems to be working fine. I thought the problem is just with my computer at work, but apparently it's a Pit-wide problem.

I was so frustrated with posting it that after three failed attempts, I gave up posting.

P.S. By the way, I am using IE 5.5 at work (I can't convince the IT people to upgrade this ancient browser).

The problem happened again with another thread. And now when I hit "back" on the browser, even the topic and description disappeared. Something is wrong with the server, I just know it.

You have no need to apologise for any bugs Lep, the site runs a lot smoother that most, and any issues that do arise are always sorted.

I was just thinking it might be nice to have a forum for the server. Would be useful for suggestions for additions to the map rotation, setting changes, organising matches/test nights, chatting about server performance issues, talk about how awesome last night's Snarkpit vs. TWHL battle was, and so on. If a forum seems like overkill, it could be cool to have a sticky or two in general banter - Server suggestions, and server chat (or something of the sort).

You've no need to apolgise for any bugs Lep; s**t happens, and you normally sort it out quicker than anybody could hope for.

And about the TWHL thing, it hasn't happened, I was merely making examples of the sorta thing a forum could be used for

I agree with reno, there should be a separate forum for the new server, just so the general board wont be cluttered with "OMG THAT F-ING ROCKED LAST NIGHT ON THE SERVER!!!!!!!!!!!" or "GWIL PUT MY MAP ON YOUR SERVER!!!"

Yeah lep maybe you should have separate sticky threads...because with your new system that "forces" you to edit posts makes it hard for someone to make a post in maps, and in the general banter separately:). [addsig]

When you reply to yourself, it only turns it into an edit if you're posting within an hour of the original post- so if you are updating something, say, a day later, it will make a new post, as normal.

A small suggestion:

Since you implemented the "update notifier" thing, it'd be nice if the "last post" time was updated too if your post was the last one in the thread ... and moved up the index as if it were a new post.

I don't know if it does this with your "auto edit" feature, but it doesn't if you purposefully edit the last post in a thread. [addsig]

That is a nice point Crono....or, unless it was too difficult, have the user choose which way he wants it displayed on his/her end (like the hotmail inbox).

Also...I think it might be a good idea to have at the bottom of every page a small link that takes you to the top of the page. Thats not a too 'out there' idea is it?

Yeah, I've been thinking about allowing people to define how times are displayed here. (Who knows, in this digitial era day the concept of "6pm" might disappear and be replaced with "3 minutes ago" and "2 days until"!). But the post-edit-thing only happens if you post within an hour of the original post; if you come back to a thread days later it'll work as before.

As for going up the page, you can press the Home button on your keyboard, but I'll put it in the bottom menu

I reckon there should be a search box in the "people" section that lets you quickly search for a user, as currently you need to go through the member list and find the right letter (or find through some other means, like look for a post of theres or something). Having a search box just like the one in the "maps" section would be ideal if you ask me.

(done- Lep.)

snarkpit has been loading at almost 56k speeds tonight.. server/host related, or my ISP?

/methinks its not ISP cause its only the pit, although that is not proof positive. :/

For some reason evertime I try and post a reply in one of the Snarkpit Server thread chapters, the post just disappears and I end up in the map suggestions chapter. It's really wierd and annoying the hell out of me. No idea what the problem is.

EDIT: Don't know why but the darned thing is working again .
