Site suggestions/bugs

Ok I just tried it in IE, and it worked, so I guess it must be another mozilla issue. I'm using Firefox 0.8, if that is of any interest to you.

Okay, just investigated, 'tis a Mozilla issue which is easily fixable :smile:

Okay, just investigated, 'tis a Mozilla issue which is easily fixable by using java and/or html that follows the standards

Fixed it for you Lep :smile:

Pah. I suppose next you'll be bitching about how this site isn't XML compliant or something because it doesn't use closing slashes on orphan HTML tags, like <BR />

WELL BOO HOO IT'S NOT MY FAULT IF YOUR BROWSER STILL LIVES IN THE 80'S AND YOU NEED A COMMAND PROMPT TO GET TO IT AND CAN'T COPE WITH SUCH MADNESS AND AWFUL AWFUL JAVA CODE WHICH SO CALLED 'LESSER' BROWSERS CAN COPE WITH JUST FINE

:razz:

ooo! Jeff got told :biggrin:

Yes. He sure told me with his huge coherent post.

Yup...

Such horrendus misuse of the sarcasm tags. shudder

I hope you realise what you did.

When you search for a tutorial and the results come up it shows a score beside it which doesn't seem to have any real meaning. It has nothing to do with what people rated the tutorial.

It tells you the relevance of that tutorial to your search term, probably calculated by finding out how many times the word is used or something, with bonus points if the word is in the title perhaps.

Aah but of course. :biggrin:

Allow people to use smileys in comments.

Well now lets not get carried away...

Maybe it's best we don't have them. There is that bunch who think it's hilarious to create a small army of gun-toting smileys.

:rolleyes:

If you make a post with a backslash in it, then edit the post, the text loaded into the editing box doesn't have any backslashes.

Like, say, c:\windows ? Bleh, fixed, thanks for pointing that out :smile:

was it a stripslashes problem? It's such a simple idea, but I always had so many problems getting the slashes to stay where they are meant to be.

Same, so I got rid of them and now just str_replace away those annoying slashed apostrophes and speech marks.

this thread increased by 3 whole pages in the 2 days i since i left.. has snarkpit suddenly acquired many new bugs, of is this thread going to be buried beneath posts so deeply we will have to create a 3rd bugs sticky post :rolleyes:

LOL

Not really, just the usual Mozilla tramps whining really

slap him :biggrin:

Lep I cant edit my map!!

lol

heres what I got when I clicked EDIT:

editmap
submiteditmap

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/leperous/public_html/redir.php:2) in /home/leperous/public_html/redir.php on line 10

Heh sorry, fixed.

Wild, why do you still have "Send a PM to leperous" in your sig?

A. He has a PM link every time he posts on the forums.
B. You can PM him directly from your control panel
C. PM'ing him is rarely so important to merit two people posting in the forums with links to do so :smile:

...Better...? :razz:

When you reply to a PM, and it gives you an 'original message' thing underneath, the bbcode doesn't work properly:

Click here to view it. was the text displayed (as a hyperlink). This could also be a problem with the thing that sends a PM when a comment is made on a users map.

Also, if you go to reply to a PM from 'snarkpit', it gives an error saying that you can't email the website. Minor yes, but we want everything in hyper perfect order for what is bound to be a multi-billion-pound valuation of the site, right? :smile:

Because we want to be ready for the wave of HL2 mappers that will come by and expect the site to be in tit top shape.

That is true, actually. You're just toys/guinea pigs :razz:

The 'click here to view it' comment thingy, the PM is sent with the window in mind (i.e. with javascript gubbins in the link), so although I could fix this I can't really be bothered right now! Just follow the link in the PM if you want to read it. :razz:

Oh, my bug came out wrong, 'Click here' was displayed, but with a [ b] and a [/b ] either side of it, with these bbcode tags part of the hyperlink.

[edit] ah ok [/edit]

Screenshot describes the problem well enough I think :smile:

EDIT: No offence lep, but just incase you can't see the problem there, that ISN'T the name of the map!

i hate to mention this cause its petty when compared to important issues, but no one has been able to download my maps, in a very long time.. the links have been broken since the V3 to V4 transition

Hrm, Reno I can't see where you're getting that problem- just changed theme and visited the review page, and no sign of any quote HTML going wrong :/

And Orph, most seem to work, but the ones that don't are your responsibility, read the disclaimer :wink:

Yeah all the review download links seem to be down (or at least all mine are), so I took the time to upload them elsewhere and put the new links in my profile. Not a huge deal, but feels a bit unprofessional or something when a download link from the actual review isn't working.

EDIT: Well what do you know, the quote thing is a mozilla / firefox issue :smile:

they do??

my apologies then... but i promise, they all worked in V3..

i will fix any broken ones soonish..

sorry again lep..

Works fine for me Reno? You seem to be having a lot of mozilla problems that nobody else does :sad:

I've just fixed it, turns out IE is quite happy to turn &quot into a quote mark, unlike Mozilla which needs it to have the trailing semi-colon.

What's that, IE not following the standards!?

sorry, I'll shut up now.

yeah you should :biggrin:

i read it as IE was in favor not against :wink:

i think i'll run away now

Pfft, you always need semi-colons after special character tags... Don't be so lazy, Lep! :smile:

Semicolons are the bane of non-standard programmer's existance :biggrin:

I have to say that Jeff is right, even though you guys are getting mad at him

Well, &quot on it's own should be turned into one anyway really, seeing as if I meant for an ampersand to be displayed I'd write & (or just &amp :razz: ) Anyway, I think it's cunningness on IE's part, it's hardly non-conformity!!

If you start allowing different things like that, then eventually you get times when one bit of code can mean two different things. It is 100% non-conformity, &quot doesn't mean ". It ends up with some people never using the semicolon, in a very similar way to some programmers using what are actually bugs in standard functions to do what they want to do - it means later on, people have to spend ages writing the bug into new versions of the functions just to keep compatibility. There is no advantage whatsoever in diverging in such trivial ways from the standards...

Yes, if you start allowing 'things like that' in general, I agree it could go wrong. But how could this particular case, with using &(code) to represent a particular HTML symbol go wrong? :razz:

it starts out small, 1st you are looking at national geographics, and next thing you know, you are stalking barnyards for potential dates..

lep.. just say "NO"

giggles

Well saying that in this case it can't go wrong isn't really relevant, because there is no advantage to this method, but it does have the potential to cause problems in some people's browsers.

wets self once more laughing

neonatal snark makes it into the ranking..

it was funny when i suggested it, its even more so to see it in print

does anyone know if there's a size limitation for posting? I was trying to post a list of really funny jokes on the general forum, but it I'm getting an error message each time. The text is not so long but it's full of

">

"

those signs, u know.. Is that causing the error?

there are i assume some illegal characters, but i have seen both of those used.. most recently.. in your post i quoted

also, there have been some incredibly long winded posts, so i doubt there is a limit on size either..

is there some error message??

just one silly thing, when I uploaded a new avatar, it said uploaded & showed the origional because I had not used control+f5 - perhaps there is a way for it to automatically do this on update. It confused me before ages ago when changing my brothers avatar, I kept uploading it & wondering why it hadnt changed.
