Forums: Depot:

Post all Bugs (not feature requests/missing features) here and I'll try to squash them all with my toes.


---- EDIT ----
Below I'll post the bugfixes as I make them to prevent duplicates and so that we can hopefully noticed if any of the fixes didn't work.

From Bugfix 1
stickies work now,
javascript error with editing a new post is fixed
javascript error with disabling buttons after sending a blank post are fixed
the date on the forum/view page now shows the correct time (instead of GMT).
fixed forum_thread/view pagination issue where a thread would be shown as having an extra page but that page wouldn't contain a post.

From Bugfix 2
The weird post reply, offset, jump around thing is fixed.
The 500 error from previewing a new thread is fixed
Nested BBCode is fixed- albiet, sloppily with a brute force approach, it'll handle nesting up to three deep.
Fixed problems with + sign in posts. (after intermittent difficulty with URI escaping and Javascript)
Added CSS for links (no more blue)

From Bugfix 3
Fixed issues with URL BB Code (as well added auto url parsing but that's a feature not a bugfix)
Added the URL bar to the new thread screen (again, more a feature-add than a bugfix)

From Bugfix 4
Added IE support, it's still pretty far behind cosmetically but functionally it is there.

I've noticed that replies to multipage threads take you to the WRONG motherfucking place.


single pagers work though

I don't know if it's a Firefox issue or just unfinished CSS, but the width of the repsonses list seems to change according to the length of the thread titles, instead of being 100% (or whatever). It's just a bit ugly.

On the forum_thread/view or the forum/view page ?

Forum view...but it just magically fixed itself

Lists don't work

See 'missing features' thread.

Forum view...but it just magically fixed itself

i just noticed something, thought i was going mad.

the time shows correct in the threads but it's showing the server time in the created/last post columns in the forum views.

For some reason, the smilie in my quoted post above comes out as the word 'smile'...

funneh... I think that's because I copied your post and it picked up the alt-text for the smilie.

I edited the smilie back in

Rather than explain .... a pitcher makes a few pints!



Oops! I got the bizzarity by using the login thingy at the bottom of the screen.

WinXP SP1
IE 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.040919-1003

What browser, os, etc...?

Remember there hasn't even been an attempt at supporting IE yet

Awww.... I'll have to re-install FF again now then FF doesn't support proxies very well and I live behind a big fat hairy corporate firewall of smelliness

At least I won't be crashing out all the time any more then

I'll be working on IE support very soon! I just wanted to get this out the door

At least posting works in IE which I figured would be the hairiest part since it is all XmlHTTPRequest stuff.

I just noticed that editing a post right after making a new one doesn't work. currently you have to refresh first. That's definitely on the list.

XMLHTTPRequest...it's hte new black.

yeah... the funny thing was that I started developing apps with this stuff over a year ago doing intranet things for Spherion (using XUL no less).

Alas and alack it's a good idea that has finally seen the light of day even if it is out in the open.

Yeah, I think I've mentioned before that I'm currently building the next versiomn of our CMS using XMLHTTPRequest. It makes the whole thing look so much more professional. However I have written it so that it'll use dynamically-created, hidden iframes as a backup if XMLHTTPRequest isn't supported properly -- eg. in older versions of Safari, all versions of Opera...

Works well so far, worryingly so. I'm just waiting for some horrible showstopper of a bug that'll mean I'll have to ditch the idea and go back to pages and pages of forms.

Good idea with the backups.


I really think that another one of the advantages to doing it this way is that you have to modularise your app into little chunks of data, each with their own URL. That does two things- it makes you handle state the way that HTTP does (representational rather than continuous) and it makes it easier to expose services.

I'm planning on doing an RSS feed of threads and stuff essentially using the same principals, the best thing is that since RSS 1.0 is RDF mozilla browsers can use the feed as a widget datasource.

What about the time differences? is there a bug there?

i'm not going crazy, yes you are, shuddup.

damn voices in my head.



oh, and it strips out extra line breaks. Is that a feature?
