Site suggestions/bugs

Hmm, I don't know what happened there. Crazy kid.

It may well still be WIP, but the new server rotation/IP thing in the
corner of the main page (which is cool) looks kinda awkward at the
moment. It forces the stats listed alongside if into awkward line
layouts, and there is seemingly no buffer area between sais stats and
the server info box so the text can get too close to the box and look
odd.

It would appear that after uploading a new avatar and having no problems, it doesn't change. Last time I changed my avatar it went right away.

EDIT: My avatar has now changed.

this smiley seems broken.. i use it.. can you look into why its borked.

Ballblue, I'm getting the same thing and I'm not really sure why, but suffice to say it's an IE problem with Javascript & cookies.

its not a connection speed issue, cause i have been experiencing it for a while now.

i just figured it was a slow host issue again and didn't mention it.
beating up the poor performance of the host didn't seem prudent right now. :/

I'm seeing what seems to be a bit of a code program on the main page. Just above the "2223 active users have made..." stats bit on the front page it says "couldnt fwrite".

New line formatting is teh broke! Check out Kornys post for an example..

I dunno if this is just a temporary thing I ran into or not, but I have two "Go to page: [ 1 2 3 ... 100 101 102 ] next?" bars listed when browsing forums.

I hesitate even mentioning any bugs as yet, for 2 reasons.

1) our lord and savior hasn't even arrived today to notice anything amiss.

2) the things wrong are so obvious, that mentioning them makes me look like either a prude, or a shudders forum <STRIKE>whore.</STRIKE> (god i hate that word, its so degrading.)

anywho's.. i have noticed no bugs that are not blatant issues with the database needing updated. which i assume will be very simple to remedy.

i would however request that avatars be a priority. i feel naked without mine.

there is some issue with adding a map to my control pannel with mySQL lep.

Whew! Welcome back to the Pit. I almost died waiting its return.

I noticed that none of the avatars are showing up in the forum, and the
page load time seems to be significantly longer than in the past.
Perhaps it's the new server?

My personal pit is not accessible anymore. I suspect others might have the same issue.

Lep, you must be overwhelmed by all the error reporting. I do
sincerely appreciate all the work you've done to migrate the Pit to a
new hosting company. Oktagone is history. Goodness gracious.

Another point that's pretty minor (not sure if it's already been posted
because I don't feel like reading back for pages and pages); the
validation link in the email when registering links to snarkpit.com,
that should probably be rectified.

aw I like the old layout better :sad:

This one is cozy and s**t, but the old one was unique and less confusing. I tried to change it on the CP but it didn't work, so I guess thats another DB issue.

My Snark Pit is the new white theme before I log in.....but AFTER I log in it loads my old theme (the main black one). So it is working awesome for me.

One thing that is NOT working awesome is the avatars. Nobodys avatar is showing up on my end. Everybodys avatar is just a red x. Even the 'restore' button to the left of this typing area has a red x.

I am using IE 6.0.29 if that helps at all...........

My movie thread needs to be in first place, stop posting the repeat comments.

posting needlessly only increases this threads count..... opps :heee:

It seems like editing User Preferences is borked in general. Tried to
switch the time format back to minutes/hours ago, but it kept
defaulting back to 0 GMT. Plus, I think someone else above can't change
their theme either.

Preferences have been fixed, and I'll get onto images not working properly. I thought everything was working properly, but oh well!

UPDATE: the maps problem has been fixed, seems there's some problem with mySQL not liking rows called 'mod' for some reason on this server.

And pits, small problem- I'm now in Hong Kong and forgot to upload them all before I left, so sorry! :redface: If anyone wants their directory back just to use for the time being please PM me, and I'll be able to restore all your files when I'm back home in a week or so (if not sooner).

What about the newline bug? It may be only a problem with FireFox
(which I am using). I see that posting by Orpheus look fine.

Yipee! Thanks Lep. I noticed that you just fixed the avatar error.

Now, onto the newline problem. But take your time, you deserve some rest. It's so late already (for you).

I noticed that some of the icons for the map download section are
white, and some are orange. I can't figure out the purpose for the
difference in color.

Ah ok, line stuff
has been fixed :redface:

yay works fine now! /me pets the good ol' black theme

A minor detail, but in Firefox 1.0.1 (for me) on the frontpage the HLDM
Server box shifts the drop down menus so that the start about 1.5cm
above where they normally appear. Works fine everwhere else.

I'm starting to think that maybe I should be telling Mozilla all these
subtle problems, rather than asking that websites compensate for it...

Multiple file uploading!!! I f**king love you! :biggrin:

Oh, and the stats page seems a little off to me - says there have been no PM's written, for example.

when I try to post a map in the maps forum it says I can't post it
cause I can't select the level under "maps in beta" or what not. WHy
can't I select to create the topic based on my unreal level? Somethings
buggy with that.

I can't stay logged in. Each time I open the browser (IE), I have to re-login.

They're running a strange version of mySQL which has caused some things that worked fine before to b0rk (especially these maps) so I'll try and stamp them out, though Ferret try posting again.

satchmo, I haven't changed any login stuff at all since last time and aren't experiencing the same problem, so methinks it's your cookie settings- try logging out to clear them, and logging in again (ticking the box underneath).

Just a small bug

The link on this page still links to snarkpit.com

For some reason I'm currently listed twice in the "who's online"
section. One has just stayed saying I'm "Just logged on" while the
other says what I'm actually looking at.

Just took a little look at the last page of the gallery, and instead of
showing pictures its just listing the member's ID number.

This is probably the most pointless bugfind ever.

The theme selection thingamajig at the bottom-right (near the "Print"
icon) says "hires" instead of
"hi-res".

goes back under rock

In a couple of recent threads, people have used gigantic fonts. When a gigantic font is used on the 1st line, it gets clipped at the top by the message border. It it fixable?

It's an IE problem with the CSS line-height attribute- I could just remove it but posts in general look better with it on imho :/

Not much of a big problem, but the links to the css maps on your post on the front page are using the snarkpit.com domain.

Nice to see that you are back :smile:

atop of the control panel:

Warning: Division by zero in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/snarkpit.net/httpdocs/functions.php on line 118

Warning: Division by zero in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/snarkpit.net/httpdocs/functions.php on line 120

is that just me or everyone has that problem?

(btw how the remove those spaces between lines its annoying)

There may be a few of these warnings popping up, I just changed the error reporting level...

Yeah, I get em too. Plus I occasionaly see a "website b0rked" screen when I click a link.

Aaaaahhhh It's so slooooooowwwwww. It takes me on average 1.5 minutes to load a page. It doesn't do that with any other websites. Is there a problem that's going to get resolved or am I stuck to sit with anger while it loads?

I have not got a clue why it's going so slow right now, it's fine 99% of the time. I'll drop them an e-mail and ask.

Well, as long as it's not like this all the time then I'm okay, it's just unbearable.

I get this in the smilies area when ever im posting something:

Warning: post_message(forums/browsers/moz_smilies.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/snarkpit.net/httpdocs/forums/post.php on line 48

Maybe you on it already, but I think it has something to do with firefox browser, as it works in IE just fine.

hi2all :smile:

after trying the .com for several weeks i tried googling and im glad i found the new snarkpit url :smile:

now i can spend my spare time here again, yay

i have the same problem with slowness though

For some reason, with the recent changes in map page format, I can't
watch a map or post a new review anymore. Am I missing
something? Is it just my FireFox browser that's preventing me
from posting?

Whoops, fixed :redface:

Whenever I try to go to http://www.snarkpit.net/pits/rumple (and any
other files/directories in my pit) I get a 403 Forbidden error

Forbidden

Lep, I just noticed that my average map rating seems to be zero... I know my maps are bad, but zero? :wink:

Edit: also my map's zip file hosted here at http://www.snarkpit.net/maps/HL/skull_cave.zip :is empty and it's size is only 22KB.

Edit2: My pit seems empty too. I know I should PM you, but I thought I might as put it in with the rest of the annoying stuff..

Whenever I try to go to http://www.snarkpit.com/pits/rumple (and any other files/directories in my pit) I get a 403 Forbidden error

The URL should be www.snarkpit.net. You have to keep an eye out for that. The transition from the old URL to the new one is guaranteed to be painful.

oops i actually did mean to write '.net' just so used to '.com'.

edit: well it seems to be working now but any files with an hyphen in their name the hyphen gets removed after uploading

More trouble with the chapters system. I try and click to the "clan"
chapter of the server thread, but it takes me to the bottom of the
first page of the "banter" chapter instead. In the chapter listing it
says the clan chapter has 15 posts (and so spans 2 pages) but it doesnt
give a page listing, which also seemed odd.

What's the URL you're trying to visit (if you still have it), and were there new topics in the banter chapter? It shouldn't be moving you like that
