Line 103, Line 42, both character 3. Javascript errors on whatever software this (and a few others) internet terminal runs.

Small problem but I thought i'd point it out..

Yes I've noticed that, but I can't seem to figure out exactly what's causing it :/

I get the line 103 error when I check snarkpit on the road.

I was gonna report it, but kept forgetting.

Something to do with truckstop net providers I had assumed. :/

[edit] your timing is off again. The old/new post thingy is borked. It says its old news, the second I click it.. course, it could be considered old news, but time wise, I had just seen it.

Coolness, I thought perhaps it was a symptom of another bug somewhere..

/me likes.

BUT, even though it says "old" the icon "go to newest post" still does not know..

I keep getting logged out, in spite of me checking the box to keep me logged in.

Allow me to reiterate. I am getting really really annoyed at being logged out. Sadly, it only happens when I hit the submit button (or seems to) and I lose my post. Yes, I know I should copy/paste it so it would not be lost, but dang it.. I am losing it for a weird reason, not one I am used to dealing with.

Am I the only one here who keeps getting logged out?

I haven't done anything to the site which would make you randomly log in/out. You shouldn't be losing the post when you submit (I'll check and make sure all the possible errors it throws up repeat your posts), though otherwise you can try to use the 'restore lost post' button...

Restore lost post has never worked for me. I just assumed it was one of your ideas that was "work in progress" and you would make it functional soon.

This log out thing. It started only yesterday. I prefer to remain logged in continuously, so I check the little box. It has worked flawlessly up to yesterday.

I have lost 1/4 of my posts because it logs me out when I press "submit".

I am upset, but I am not placing blame or nothin.. This may be on my end entirely.. Although, I do not know why, or how.

Doesn't it tell you your post underneath when it logs you out though? Does it just take you to another page when you submit, or does it give you an error message? (and if so, what does it say)

When it happens again, I will take a screenshot. For now I will say that.. it scrunches everything right and left. the entire center portion of the page is black/blank. take everything you are now looking at and fit it into a 1 inch area both right and left and you will get an idea.

Does that help? If not I will wait for it to occur again.

I was logged out again, but damned if I forgot to save a screen. I stayed logged out to give the page another chance to show my dilemma.

[edit] stinking thumbnails are borked now Lep. I fixed this thing twice and it keeps borking back to a normal [img ] tag. smiley

http://www.snarkpit.net/pits/orpheus/pics/logout1.jpg was the original target.

Suggestion:

Our maps section goes mostly un-noticed anymore. Perhaps we can have a weekly spotlight or something similar. I think we need to do something to bolster our maps more. Perhaps during the week we all can vote or score particular maps, then next week it is spotlighted, while during that week we are voting/scoring on the next.

Perhaps this would encourage more submitances, but also discourage people only using our site for pimpage and leaving till their next release.

Anywho's, i would entertain any ideas on this subject.

Monthly might be more appropriate. I'm just worried about dry spells when we may have to spotlight something less than deserving because of the lack of alternatives.

I am not talking about putting the best on a pedestal here.. I am wanting to spotlight the less famous.. If we were to hold the vote this very minute, I would vote for this map..

I think you are confusing my intentions with something hard to do.. All I wanna do is draw some more attention to our maps section.. We have maps posted with little or no feedback.. I know people looked at them cause I saw them do so but... (no finger pointing) I feel they should be either ashamed of themselves, or at the very least, concerned that they have been at this to long and are not interested enough to be contributing members anymore. :/

I am not saying everyone should comment on everything, thats silly, but ask yourselves.. "when was the last time you did comment?"

A spotlight might show the rest of the world that the "BIG BAD SNARKPIT" isn't so anti-n00b.

anywho's, I think you are confused as to my intentions.

I agree with you that we should try to find some way to increase the interest in the map section. I try to offer some thorough comments, but its only on a random maps every now and then. It's just hard to have sustained interest in every map that passes through this site. When a project catches my eye I try to do my best to offer my opinions.

As for your idea, if it would increase interest/participation in the map section then I think it should be pursued.

I'm sorry if I misunderstood the intentions of your first post. I thought you just wanted to encourage more submissions, but now I see you want to encourage more participation from the members who aren't reading up/commenting on new maps that come through here.
