Hey guys, I seem to be back for a bit and have a hankering to fix some stuff, so let me know what things you want changing/adding that isn't too drastic

BTW if Gwil told you I was only here to harvest more e-mails, he is lying. He was the one who tied me up and threw me off a bridge in Northern Russia a year ago...

I guess the only thing I'd love fixed would be the Firefox bug <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

And welcome back!

You made a big mistake in returning, you should have known it was over back in those icy wastes, cold like your remorseless heart!

I shall have my men deal with you once and for all, Mr Bond.

Well I have been living out of your bin for the last couple of weeks, while I took a holiday from hiding from Gwil.

When one of us poor Firefox users turn javascript on from the profile our typing in this lovely orange box turns completely black and when we finally press the lovely orange button on the lovely black background our post gets filled with all sorts of lovely bits of html code. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Hmm, I'm posting this now with Firefox 1.0.6 and it seems fine, can you post some screenshots or something?

This is just a test

Edit: I can't seem to be able to reproduce the bug for some reason... I'll try to find a post with some of that html carbage in the end.

The only bug I notice that is really annoying is when editing a post a quote gets all messed up, because the bbcode isn't stored in the database, but the html it gets translated to. (That's how it looks in any case)

The only other thing is when using the spell checker, it eats characters like '+', which it should just skip over. It changes other characters in the ascii set, like ?, to unicode (%uFFFD, kind of stuff)

Those are really the only things I've noticed.

And welcome back, for short or long term.

I've noticed when editing posts with [ quote] tags, they get mauled and I have to redo them. Using Opera 9.0, dunno if it affects other browsers.

The java textbox has been broken Fx 1.5.x.x (and is broken in 2.0 as well)

The text is black and hence unreadable and also contains a couple of lines of HTML.

Here is a screenshot, I have highlighted the text so you can see what I mean:

Lots of BBcode gets messed up when editing a post (images with thumbnails when re-editing and quotes for example). Maybe it's only the newer versions of Firefox? Version 1.0.6 sounds a bit old.

Also there is this bug of uploaded JPEGs getting re-compressed even if they're good in kilobyte size.

And welcome back, too, Leperous. It kinda feels like the return of the messiah - from what I heard at least <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Might I suggest to people to use a browser that actually works? IE7 perhaps- its pretty much firefox with an IE logo slapped on it.

Its true IE7 has many features that firefox has...granted....but the whole reason I dont use IE is it's access to the inner workings of Windows (which leads to more viruses/spam).

But something I've noticed this forum doens't have is a "preview" of you post (so you may check your bb code all works out). If not that then maybe a built in feature that checks your begining and ending tags match up.

Probably the most important change you can make to this site (that noones mentioned yet) would be to give someone else leprosy, so when your leperous hands fall off, someone else can maintain the site.
