The Gaming Den

Ping received. I have updated the permissions on the server and verified that uploading avatar images works again.

Sorry I took so long, I have been pulling 16+ hour days and only today found the time to fix this.

Many thanks.

the chainmail bikini drow thread is broken. There is an extra page listed, and the link gives an error page: "There are no post in this thread."

Noted. We'll look into it.

Game On,
fbmf

I couldn't access tgdmb.com for the last couple days. I got a generic "the server may not be working" screen after it spent 4 or 5 minutes loading.

Yeah, the server wasn't responding to any queries or pings.

/phew

It's not my fault for badly using an extra quote tag then.

I posted an extra two times to that thread, I've trimmed the text from the 2 duplicate posts, since I thought that the posts hadn't gone through.


Also, what is up with tgdmb.com's forums in general? We have so many wierd errors in general. If you screw up quote tags, you kill the rest of the thread, and sometimes other wierd bugs occur.

Is it part of the code used to generate the forums, or server issues or what?

The reason that I'm asking is b/c I'm not used to seeing stuff like this on forums, so I'd like to know why what happens, happens.

Open source stuff tends to have flaws in front, closed source in back. So while you won't see these sorts of bugs on pay sites; they'll have bgs that'll take the place down. Open source tends to be more solid with more bugs that are cosmetic.

It's totally about whose set of priorities are being used.

Okay, BUG: I have smilies turned off in my profile, but they're always on (and immutable) on the reply pages.

To the best of my knowledge, turning off smilies prevents them from showing in posts; it has no effect on the reply screen.

It doesn't work. I can see smilies in my posts. Whether I want to or not.

I don't want smilies in my posts. Why doesn't this work?

-Crissa

Hmm... while it doesn't show up in my posts, it does show up in the posts of others. (Test - :-) :) ) The last post by J_E has a smiley in it that i can see and i have smileys turned off.

Reply/Quick Reply/Post:

Smilies are ON

I don't want this, there's no link to disable.

Profile:

Smilies are OFF

I do want this. It's set. Why is it not working in my posts?

-Crissa

There is no feature to make smilies stop displaying in the way you want, Crissa. The admins may be able to find a mod that does what you are asking for, but the settings you are referring to only apply to your posts, and only on a post-by-post basis.

The options listing on the left side of the page denote the site-wide settings as set up by the admins. They have nothing to do with your profile.

If the "Disable Smilies in this post" checkbox on the reply page is not working as expected, then that is, indeed, a problem.

Look, one person gets to not use smilies in their posts.

I apparently don't get that.

Why can't you read what I wrote?

Turn images off, it disables smilies and the alt text is decent.

In other news, a plugin that stops people posting unmatched /quote and quote tags is seemingly essential.

Why does Cynic get to post without Smilies, and I don't?

I am loathe to admit it, but you might want to ask Da'Vane about it on the Zelda d20 forums. Those boards have a thinger which tells you if, and how many, tags you have open. I'm pretty sure it closes them automatically when the Submit button is pressed.

Link, please? I'll look into what they have to see if it'll work for our version.

Cynic checked the "disable smilies in this post" box on his post. You did not. Seems to me the software is working exactly as intended.

Thanks. That's different software from what we use, though. So whatever solution they have won't help us.

I'll make some time to poke around and see if there's any mods out there to deal with unclosed codes.

You say that, but I did.

Why do you say I did not?

I look at http://tgdmb.com/profile.php?mode=editprofile and it says I have them turned off!

No, the only button I seem to have checked is the one in my UserCP that disables smilies in my post.

As a result of my having checkd that box, I automatically have the "Disable Smilies in this post" checked when I go to the reply box.

As far as I can tell, Crissa seems to have done the exact same thing as i have but with different results.

Crissa: want to try dechecking the option and applying it, and then re-enabling the option and applying it again?

Maybe there is a disconnect somewhere in your account that doesn't allow the change to go through.

Post.

Great, now it's doing that phantom last page thing.

Okay, unset, and unset...
