I thought SnarkPit was a gonner. Dead for two days.

Not really, it doesn't seem like they've upgraded the server at all (though I did find out that I'm hosted on the same IP as about 900 other websites... hmm).

HOWEVER it does seem that something serious happened to the server over the weekend, and right now nothing can be written to the server- meaning I can't fix bugs, chapters won't work properly, and things such as map screenshots, files can't be uploaded and obviously pits won't work :/

Sorry about that, Lep. I have two suggestions. Dunno if they have already been pitched or not:
1. Have being able to 'see all' smilies an option for when you reply to a messege...not ONLY when you are editing a messege you already wrote.
2. Have a 'delete post' button for double posts.
The second one I can understand why you wouldn't want that, as people may use it to just delete their posts, but...

Suggestion:

Front page news is important events. Not to minimize the importance of mappers news, the front page needs to be about "site" news primarily.

I suggest that site news be sorta like a sticky thread, where it remains on top for a predetermined time. With this method in place, if several mappers have news all at once (which our total member numbers may have happen more often) the real news would not slide down the page into oblivion so rapidly.

Also, if the news on the front page had links to the mappers news, instead of two pages with the same news, this would make less to read on the front page. IE Orpheus releases new map today... Reno updates work in progress.. Wildcard gets pilots license today.. the links would lead to the profile of the individual, without the need to clutter the front pages with less world shattering tid-bits.

That's an idea, though perhaps it would be more useful to put some 'quick news' thing like that next to 'proper' news! (like PHL used to do with its hosted sites)

Looks like the pits are back. I've just managed to update mine and upload some files.

Hey, Lep, why did you dump the weekly map round-up thing? It was a great idea and it would be nice to have something like that when snarkpit will finally be fully stable again since there have been quite a few good maps released since then. If you don't know what i'm talking about, look at the top of the news page, at your own post actually .

I'm not really sure if you are aware of this, Lep, but Opera users can't post (myself included, unfortunately I'm using IE to type this). Each time I go to post, I get this error: http://img275.echo.cx/img275/5821/sperror2io.jpg

I've tried turning JavaScript off in my preferences, and it didn't work. I tried using quick reply AND normal reply, and neither worked. My friend couldn't make a topic, but I haven't tried.

Please sort it out, it's frustrating having to come in IE just to post. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Thanks in advance.

It's meant to detect Opera and force you to use standard textarea posting, but if it doesn't then you can click on that 'having trouble posting' link and save your preferences..?

Recently, as in the last 20 minutes, I've been getting an error. I'll be clicking around, and maybe 1 in 5 times, I get a white page with this text;
? quoting The Error Message;
There was a problem connecting to the database; please press refresh or come back later.


Then I press back on my browser (firefox) and click the link again and I get in fine. It's not really a big deal since I can get in easily by doing the aforementioned, but I just thoguht I'd bring it to your attention.

Well, a couple things. I've tried turning Java off in my preferences, and still have nothing - it just stops the menus and stuff from working. Also, the 'Having trouble posting' link doesn't even show up on Opera.

I'm certain it's not just me because me friend who also uses Opera cannot post either.

Testing whether disabling JavaScript in Opera helps at all.

[edit] It worked! I'd still like this to be fixed though, since I don't want to have JavaScript disabled in every site, just to post on this site.

It doesn't do it for me, with the newest version of Opera. Is it trying to do the fancy WYSIWYG editor with formatting buttons, or just a plain old textarea with no formatting buttons? Can you please post a full screenshot, rather than just that of the error message?

Hmm.. just testing it out.

[edit] Wow, it seems to be working now. Cool. image

[edit again] It was just a plain old textarea with no formatting buttons, no formatting buttons or anything.
