[Gio Takahashi]

Post any bugs you find.

[Gio Takahashi]

Finally fixed the new post problem. It should be working fine now.

[Gio Takahashi]

That sounds like connection timed out or lost with the database for a few seconds.

[Killer_Man_]

Just thought I'd let you know regardless.

[Gio Takahashi]

HOW TO POST A DETAILED ERROR AND MAKE GIO A HAPPY ERROR.

If you find a bug, or something is broken you post it here in this thread.

but I need more than just "uploading's broken, fix it plox!"

I need to know more than that. Every glory details. Blow by blow details. right down to the microcellular level. THIS WOULD BE ESPECIALLY HELPFUL.

There are four ways to upload to UEF: Avatars, Attachments, Albums, and Signatures.

If you run into a problem, ANY PROBLEM. I need to know...

1: What did you try to upload
2: What file type is it?
3: where did you upload?
4: How big is it?
5: Is it an attachment, avatar, signature or a picture for your album?

With this information, it will give me the best idea of what's broken so I can fix it, or at least look into it.

I'm not trying to be rude, but I need to know every detail on what's going on, because despite the popular beliefs, I can't see and know everything that you guys are doing on UEF.

It is just that the better information I have, the faster that I can fix the problem.

Thanks :)

[SomaticCorpse]

K, been trying to upload .jpeg photos to the albums, under usercp.
Alas, it throws errors anytime I try to upload a picture from the hard-drive; but if I use a url, all's good in the hood.

I'm using firefox, primarily... As illogical as it sounds, could that be the root of the problem?

Also, I don't get any sting results from the error-dump, just a throw-back error that says to contact the site administrator. So, my hands are kinda tied in giving a complete and detailed info, since I don't know what's happening, besides:

I select the file to upload, I click upload, it tries to process, and I get the throw-back page. Perhaps, it's an async callback issue? Or a query string error? I dunno...

[Mydra]

Tetris is broken.

[Gio Takahashi]

Tetris is not broken, you just hate that tetris >_>

[Mydra]

Minor thingies, minor thingies.

[deathofcheese]

I don't know if it's just my computer or where I am currently (at work), but a lot of the post editing sections are not working for me. None of the buttons work, none of the menus work, if I quick-edit, the buttons in that don't work. My post in the WW3 thread is one result of this. After that, I figured I had to start manually coding my post markup. Is it just me or did you tinker with some code recently, Gio? It could very well just be me, but I won't know until I get home later today.

[Bloodcinder]

I think it's just you. Try flushing your browser cache. Sometimes bad Ajax code gets stored that needs to be remedied.

[Gio Takahashi]

Nothing in the coding has been changed, it is likely you.

[Killer_Man_]

When you try to right click -> open new tab for new posts it says internal service error. File not found.

It's only when you are using the VBchat thingy for IRC you have in the menu bar.
Double Post
Actually, make that if you click anything on there that leads you away from vbJIRC chat.

[Bloodcinder]

I replicated the error. From the vbjirc app page, every URL gets the vbjirc/ path stuck into it. For example, the get new posts

www.unitedempire.net/forums/search.php?do=getnew

becomes

www.unitedempire.net/forums/vbjirc/search.php?do=getnew

May need to fix the basehref.

[Gio Takahashi]

I found and replicated the error when KM made the post, the style or the placement of the file may need to be looked at, not much I can do now as my laptop isn't working. I'll look at it when I get home.

[Bloodcinder]

If you bump the app page up to the forums/ directory instead of vbjirc/ it should be the easiest fix, although I'm not sure how many files the vbjirc installation includes.

[Gio Takahashi]

That's what I'm thinking, even though I'm pretty sure that the author meant to have the file placed into its directory, again, I'll have a looksee.
Double Post
Ah there we go. Fixed!

Except for the comic links, but I'm going to look into that now. Fixed!

[Killer_Man_]

So it'll work? Good. Glad I could help.

[Gio Takahashi]

it IS working now.

[SomaticCorpse]

I'm still having the upload issue, and I refuse to resort to IE7... It blows on a dual-core, vista machine, trust me!

...but I can add pictures, as attachments to posts. This isn't making any sense :|

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.15) Gecko/20080623 Firefox/2.0.0.15
Dell Inspiron 9400
Windows Vista Home Premium
Intel Duo-Core @1.86Ghz
1014MB RAM

So, I have the resources for processing the code, and there's no issues on my end... Perhaps, it's an issue between Firefox and vBulletin?

[deathofcheese]

The only time I've gotten that error is when I tried to upload something that was bigger than allowed - or something.

[SomaticCorpse]

Oh, it's the file size limit, per picture... It's set for 1,000KB, which is less than 1MB, but we're allowed 97.66MB v. 60 pictures... I figured the payload size didn't matter, since it says it will resize them to fit.

So, should I resize them, or should the limit be changed to around 2.5 MB? It only makes sense, since 60 x 1,000MB < 97.66MB

Just let me know :)

[Gio Takahashi]

yeah I'll up the limit a bit.

[Bloodcinder]

image.php is gone.

image5.php is there but the forum is trying to use image.php. Hence no avatars.

EDIT: You fixed it while I was posting this.

[Z]

It's still broken on my end. There's just a link you can click if you want to view the avatar but they are currently not displaying.

[Gio Takahashi]

huh, avatar's randomly loading and not loading.

[SpaceProg]

Same here. No avvies, just links to the userprofile.

Edit: Well heck, NOW they loaded after I posted... Weird.

Edit: Now they're not again. AIEEEE! INSANITY! :p

[Gio Takahashi]

yeah, I wonder why.

[Gio Takahashi]

it's loading for php5, but not for php

[SpaceProg]

I just got a database error, refreshed, and now it's back, so... It doesn't seem quite stable yet.

[Z]

Weird, mine and BC's posts are gone.

Only bug I can still see is that avatars don't display anymore (There's just a "So-and-so's Avatar" link)

[SpaceProg]

Yay computer technology!

[Gio Takahashi]

Now what happens if you use this link:

http://www.unitedempire.net/forums/showthread.php5?t=64&page=2

[deathofcheese]

This link (http://www.unitedempire.net/forums/showthread.php?p=25952#post25952) gives me no avatars, but this link (http://www.unitedempire.net/forums/showthread.php5?t=64&page=2) does.

EDIT: Also, you get automatically redirected to the .php5 pages when you post.

[Gio Takahashi]

Okay, I figured it out. I renamed a wrong file.

Edit: if you're still not seeing avatar, try a hard refresh (Ctrl + F5)

[Arainach]

Except the server doesn't redirect to index.php5 if you go to http://www.unitedempire.net/forums/ and it gives you an apache directory listing.

[Gio Takahashi]

That's fixed now.

[SpaceProg]

I got one 'Fatal Error' in going between the UserCP to the Forum Main page, but it's not happened again. So... *fingers crossed*?

[Gio Takahashi]

Okay, everything's fixed now... supposedly.

That was fun. not

[Gio Takahashi]

I got one 'Fatal Error' in going between the UserCP to the Forum Main page, but it's not happened again. So... *fingers crossed*?

Yeah, blame that on me. It's another one of my experiment to stop the database burping issue. Apparently that didn't work out well. I guess Id idn't fix it quickly enough :X

[Gio Takahashi]

And credits should go to BC for his help in fixing the problems.

[SpaceProg]

Kudos to you and BC for your work. Admirable job fixing farklemption.

[Gio Takahashi]

the farklemption was caused by me in an attempt to get the forums to run in version php 5.2.5 instead of 4.8.4, so far it seems to be working. At least on my end.

It's also in an attempt to stop the constant database burps we've been getting.

[SpaceProg]

Well, lately I've noticed my posts have been going straight through and not acting as if I've posted twice. So far so good...

[Gio Takahashi]

Excellent, let's hope it sticks that way!

Someone let me know if they caught even a message that says "your post was duplicated, blah blah." let alone a duplicate post.

[Gio Takahashi]

Looks like it was too good to be true after all. one was spotted here (http://www.unitedempire.net/forums/showthread.php?t=6&page=112).

[SpaceProg]

Ballcocks.

Edit: Hopefully it was just a glitch that only happens every now and then. Even that would be better than all the time. Though I agree none at all would be nice.

[Gio Takahashi]

ideally, none at all, is the goal, which relaly never happened. It started happened ever since 3.7 started out.

[Bloodcinder]

I see the random .php5 links are gone in UserCP and other areas. Did the re-upgrade solve that?

(Thanks for the props, folks. All I did was help a bit with .htaccess though...)

[Gio Takahashi]

Yes it did.

[Arainach]

Something's screwed up; I'm seeing normal threads in Spanish (http://www.unitedempire.net/forums/showthread.php?p=26050#post26050) now. Probably some mistake LH made when upgrading.

:rolleyes:

[Bloodcinder]

We had to update the language to get the older pages to work. Sad, really.

STARTING ITH DEATH OF BC

[Seegtease]

Finally. I look for every reason possible to karma somebody besides Z or BC, nice to find one!

[Gio Takahashi]

How often are you guys running into post duplicating issues, maybe it's just me, but I'm seeing a lot less of them.

[SpaceProg]

I haven't seen any myself yet. *Crosses fingers*

[Bloodcinder]

I haven't had one yet.

[deathofcheese]

I think I've only ever had one before, at the most.

The forum seems to be running a lot smoother than it used to. Pages are loading faster and I'm getting a lot less database errors. I'm not sure if this is due to the fixes on UEF or my using Chrome, but it's been really nice all night.

[SpaceProg]

I'm just using Firefox and I'm experiencing the same. Good stuff.

[Gio Takahashi]

Browsers would have nothing to do with the forums performance. It looks like it was worthwhile to switch to 5.2.5 engine.

[Arainach]

Browsers would have nothing to do with the forums performance. It looks like it was worthwhile to switch to 5.2.5 engine.Given how much Javascript vBulletin uses, Chrome actually could have a measurable impact.

But I'm seeing it be faster and less problematic in Firefox as well.

[Bloodcinder]

Gio, didn't we establish that it was already running under PHP5?

[Gio Takahashi]

I don't think it was already running under php5. Globat seems to want to keep both php4 and php5 on the server, and allow users to 'use either'. Just took then long enough to FINALLY tell me that after I repeatedly ask them for possibility to upgrade.

MySQL, on the other hand, is still old as it is.

[Seegtease]

I see improvements for sure.

[Bloodcinder]

But Gio, you undid *all* of the changes you undertook that night. I also looked at your .htaccess file. Unless you did something you didn't tell me about, you were always running under PHP 5.

[Gio Takahashi]

I undid a lot of the changes, but that's not the case.

I'm not sure how it happened but prior to the change the phpinfo says it was running 4.8.4, now it is running on 5.2.5

[Bloodcinder]

BUT THE FUTURE REFUSED TO CHANGE

[SpaceProg]

Great Scott!

[Gio Takahashi]

Okay, an unregistered user hit yet another Error #28, and for those that don't know, it basically means,


Error code 28: No space left on device

One or more partitions on your server is out of space or doesn't have enough space to complete this operation. Shutdown your forums (if you can) and contact your host immediately. You or your host will need to find out which partition is low on space and free up some more space.of course the space that we're allowed to get is nowhere near the limit.[/quote]

The alloted space allowed is nearly 10 gigabytes (9.77 gigabytes to be exact) and we are currently at 2.66 gigs (and could be easily trimmed down)

Of course past experiment dictated that attempting to repair the database on this side will not solve the problem, and will likely get worse.

Of course, Globat has been contacted, and will probably notice the damn problem this time.

[Gio Takahashi]

OKay, Error 28 is fixed, and hopefully fixed for good.

[SpaceProg]

Yays! *knocks on wood* No, not THAT kind of wood.

[Bloodcinder]

OKay, Error 28 is fixed, and hopefully fixed for good.
i can has report plz?

[Bloodcinder]

I haven't seen any of these DB errors flaring up. I haven't had any problems since the update. What's happening to whom?

[Gio Takahashi]

basically people were getting error from the database saying "Error 28 from the storage", which means the partition was full.

[Bloodcinder]

To my knowledge, I still haven't gotten a double-post since the last crash.

[Gio Takahashi]

Some people are getting them, but it's a very rare now, same with lost connection database error, it's more rare.

[Bodomi]

Doubleposts definitely still happen. I've deleted quite a few dupes lately.

[SpaceProg]

I've seen a few, but still nowhere near the frequency they used to happen.

[Z]

It seems to happen most in Random Talkfest

[deathofcheese]

I got my first-ever* double post today, which I deleted myself.

;_;

* that I've seen

[Gio Takahashi]

It would make somewhat of a sense for it to be in the Random Talkfest due to the size of it (approaching 3000 posts), but I really don't see how.

[tjkitsune]

I was unable to reply to the question about SQL in the High-Tech section. I tried three times in a matter of two days, and every time, it would sit there and eventually time out, saying there was an issue with the database.

[Gio Takahashi]

you will probably have to keep trying, I'm not finding anything significance out of the error reports based on what you are reporting.

[Gio Takahashi]

So from what it looks like the only place where people are running into duplicate post errors are the larger threads. IE: Picture thread and Random Talkfest Thread.

[Bloodcinder]

Except one just showed up in a small thread in Gents.

[Gio Takahashi]

Okay, that's probably bound to happen, but it seems that the larger threads are more likely to cause it.

[Arainach]

Was getting a lot of database errors for a few hours this morning (forum outage) and just got another about 30 seconds ago when editing a post (interestingly, the edit still went through).

[Gio Takahashi]

Yes this is the report I've received:


MySQL Error : Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction
Error Number : 1213

I get quite a few of those.

[chefTENGU]

I was trying to delete the quotespam, but I couldn't get the "delete this quote" link to work (until I right-clicked and said to open in a new window).

Then when I pressed the jolly, candy-like button of deleting, I got hit with a database error. This happen to anyone else?

[Gio Takahashi]

Doesn't give me database error, it just doesn't do it.

It's usually pretty fast for me but, ya, I've hit a patch or two of slowness in the past week but it usually clears itself up relatively quickly.

Whatever issue we were having with deleting the quotes seems to have resolved itself. I managed to purge the quotespam today.

Nevermind. The quotes seem to have reconstituted themselves after being "successfully" deleted.

[SomaticCorpse]

09-20-2008 at 13:44 <-- Last login

Showing results 1 to 25 of 35

Que!? How does that work out!?

Edit: Unread posts, I mean...

[chefTENGU]

Is that a listing of unread posts or threads which contain unread posts?

...Regardless, that does sound very strange. Though I don't have the technical know-how to solve this mystery.

Paging Dr. Gio!

[Gio Takahashi]

Seems okay. Assuming that he has 35 pages of new posts to read, with 25 new posts per page.

[chefTENGU]

I just thought that we would have posted in more than 35 different threads since late last September...

[Seegtease]

Not 35 pages, 35 threads. At some point it must have reset somehow?

[Gio Takahashi]

No, it does not reset. It will always accumulate until it hit the ceiling,w hich is I think 500 pages.

[Z]

SC: Perhaps someone (a friend or girlfriend) logged on to the forums recently without you knowing and reset the count?

[Seegtease]

That occurred to me as well, until I realize he actually posted the last login date which is given when you log in.

[deathofcheese]

Something I've noticed with this new version of UEF (which is a great upgrade from how NHF used to work too) is that if you log in but don't view all the new posts, those new posts will still be flagged as new posts, but they won't show up as "unread posts since your last visit". Is that the problem here?

[Gio Takahashi]

Those would appear below the new posts since your last visit. Look for the heading that says:

The threads below have not been updated since your last visit but still contain unread posts.

[Seegtease]

Yeah, I love that feature. But that still doesn't explain why he didn't see more NEW posts since his last visit, since his last visit was SO long ago.

[Gio Takahashi]

I dunno. 35 pages of updated threads, with 25 threads per page is a lot. Basically 875 threads received new posts since his last visit.

[Seegtease]

Donald, we made this clear a few times. 35 threads is what he found, not 35 pages. That's why it said showing 1-25 (as per the default thread listing amount). You don't show 1-25 pages.

[Gio Takahashi]

then I don't know the situation with Max, because there is no "certain time" where new posts would be "reset" they would appear as new posts, until you read them.

[Seegtease]

When I first joined, I checked all the threads with unread posts. Funny thing, there are a lot of threads I haven't seen because they weren't all listed. Somehow, they became read. Perhaps there is a max timer that marks threads read since they're so old it's assumed irrelevant?

[Gio Takahashi]

Looks like I completely forgot about certain new features. Zeit was correct after all.

I found two problems:

#1. there is a cut off point where "Unread posts" will no longer show the number of unread posts after certain day. this was currently set as 14 days.

#2. There is a cut off point where threads are automatically marked as read. That cutoff point is 7 days.

I didn't like these ideas, as there are always users that will come back after long break. I'd like them to be able to see every posts they missed. Yes, I've had histories of users reading EVERY posts they missed.

Therefore. all unread posts will be marked as read after 365 days. Secondly, users will always see the number of new posts since they last login, regardless of the last time they logged in.

Also, for the record. Every users who have not logged in after long period of time will now be able to view every unread posts up to a year.

[deathofcheese]

Did someone play around with the unread posts function? I now have 17 pages of "the threads below have not been updated since your last visit but still contain unread posts", which is effectively every post ever.

[Gio Takahashi]

they were probably leftover threads that you may have not read or something. Just use "Mark all forums read" function to fix that.

[Bloodcinder]

Same here, and yeah, just do that.

[Z]

I think Mac meanioned this in the Comic Grab Bag but I just noticed I am in the same boat:

The forums aren't letting us do attachments anymore because it says we've exceeded our 11 MB limit somehow. I'm not sure if I've actually attached 11 MBs worth of images over the year or if this is just a universal glitch. If someone could try to attach something to confirm it's not just me and Mac, that'd be great.

[Gio Takahashi]

Strange. there shouldn't be any attachment limitations.
Double Post
I've been checking the settings, no where does it say that anyone should have any limit on uploading...
Double Post
I did it myself. can't upload either. what the foozle?
Double Post
checked the overall server diskspace. we're no where near the limit...
Double Post
checked the statistics. you'd be surprised how much space you take up. Seagteese takes up the most (22.83 megabytes), followed by Bodomi (17.92 mb), Charlie at 16.77 mb, MacCready at 11.71 and Trodgor at 11.46

[Z]

Ah, it's probably from Name That Soundtrack (as I don't recall Bodomi or Trogdor hosting that many images via attachments). Perhaps deleting a few of the first pages would help clear some of that up?

[Seegtease]

The problem shouldn't be the space. There is some kind of setting or hidden setting, or a bug.

[Gio Takahashi]

Correct. WE have 156 megabytes worth of attachment storage. As far as the settings are concerned, there's no limit to uploading attachments.

[Bloodcinder]

Testing...

EDIT: Seems to be fine for me, and I never attach anything.

[Z]

Ya, it works now. I'm not sure what had to change but it must've been something.

[Bloodcinder]

Underneath the quotebox on the front page it says, "If you see this, then it works!"

Oh. that was leftover from me testing certain conditionals. I'll remove that in a second.

[Gio Takahashi]

I don't think I've removed that yet. did I?

Anyway. Problem: KM can't seem to get onto this forums, yet is able to get onto any websites. I can't see why he's blocked from this.

Problem?

sorry, couldn't help it

[Gio Takahashi]

I did some experiment with KM, and have concluded that Something is blocking KM's access to the server that UEF is on.

I found three other sites that shares the same server that UEF is on, and he can't access them.

[chefTENGU]

Would it have to be something with his ISP then? This whole situation is just bizzare.

[Gio Takahashi]

He's been talking to his ISP. they're denying it.

---------- Post added at 15:16 ---------- Previous post was at 15:07 ----------

Well that was by far the worst support chat ever:

I told him about the problem, and in extremely broken english: "I dunno, lol problem was not us, problem was ISP. It need check ISP for problem"

[Killer_Man_]

Fuck you Zeit. </3 :(

And second, it seems to be back. I talked to RR, they were blaming my router but apparently this hell of a snow storm has cleared it? LOL.

[Arainach]

I'm getting double posts again. I've been manually correcting them myself, but since it happened a third time today I figure I better post something here.

[Gio Takahashi]

I've been noticing that's been flaring up lately, that's generally tough to fix, so give me time on that.

[deathofcheese]

Not sure if it's a bug or something, but when I try to quote someone, I only get the topmost post. For a bunch of nested posts, I get zilch. Am I doing something wrong?

[Gio Takahashi]

No, that's usually normal. It is done via settings to prevent a massive stack of quotes.

[Bloodcinder]

Mac, vBulletin has never by default allowed for quoting nested quotes except in PM's. If you want to, you have to do them up manually.

[Bloodcinder]

Underneath the quotebox on the front page it says, "If you see this, then it works!"

Oh. that was leftover from me testing certain conditionals. I'll remove that in a second.

I don't think I've removed that yet. did I?
No.

[Gio Takahashi]

...your new avatar seem to fit very well with that post.

---------- Post added at 01:04 ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 ----------

Done

[Gio Takahashi]

Seegtease is going through a similar ordeal that KM went through last month. UEF just won't connect no matter what (or any of Stmaarten server), I went through the same thing as well, and found that the only way to get on UEF was to connect the computer directly to the ethernet jack (or modem for those that uses modem).

I'm still trying to figure out wtf is going on here. Apparentlythe culprit is a Linksys WRT54G router (version 2). I used a different, older, router in that place, and everything worked just fine. Good thing I was able to create a work-around to fix this.

Just for record:

People not able to get on UEF

Gio Takahashi: Florida multimedia, Linksys WRT54G
Seegtease: Eastern Oregon Net, Linksys
Charlie: Time Warner, Ambit/Ubee U10C020

[Killer_Man_]

Gio, if it helps. I have time warner and use a Linksys WRT110. It's a newer router though so I don't know.

I ran into trouble when trying to upload an attachment. It simply said the upload failed.

[Gio Takahashi]

That's probably because of the server transition, giving a different full url than what the attachment knows. Let me see if I can fix that.

[Gio Takahashi]

Testing

confirmed! Attachments is now fixed, and all previous attachments should be working.

[Gio Takahashi]

Similarly, this is fixed for user album as well.

[Gio Takahashi]

For those that are having problem connecting to www.unitedempire.net will have to deal with smilies not working. That requires me to edit every single smilie to point to the new temporary address, only that the address will be fixed within a day or two. There are well over 250 smilies, so, no.

[deathofcheese]

DO IT, GIO.

CHUG, CHUG, CHUG, CHUG!!

[Gio Takahashi]

GROG GROG GROG Z!

Just need to show KM how this live thread works

[Gio Takahashi]

Latest bugs found:

* Attachments producing Internal Server Error, when trying to download.
**Obviously related: this also prevents users from playing back attachments too.

*People are having trouble staying logged in.

Those two bugs I'm trying to figure out, but if you're having trouble staying logged in, all I can say is to clear your cookies related to UEF and globat, including unitedempire.net, giotakahashi.globat.com, and in rare rare cases, ueforums.net

Mp3 now works, apparently I had to change the content-type header due to the server settings.

[Z]

I'm getting database errors every other click. Is anyone else?

[Killer_Man_]

I haven't, I did a few days ago. Gio knows cause i kept harrassing him on AIM every time.

[chefTENGU]

I just got one. But I reloaded immediately and it was fine.

EDIT:

At least for that one time... I guess it's happening every other click for me, too.

[Gio Takahashi]

That's because one of the user names that accesses the database decided to change its password. Fixed.

[Drifter]

So is it just me, or does anyone else have issues with the front page? I can't login via the front page, and if I go to the front page when logged in... it normally doesn't show me as logged in (but if I go to the forums pages, I am).

[Gio Takahashi]

The front page is a little buggy due to the server transition.

[Seegtease]

Front page is for noobs.

[Gio Takahashi]

while this was never a problem in the old server, the new server seems to be causing some problem with cookie and the usage of "www.unitedempire.net" and "unitedempire.net" if you switch from one to another, you'll automatically logout.

for now I'd recommend you use only www.unitedempire.net, since a lot of the links are pointed with "www"

[Killer_Man_]

Live topic is buggy to me still.

Like today, I went to go look at the video thread and DoC had posted how to say 12 months in some language. Though I had just opened the thread cause DoC was the new poster as i was loading up I think(He may have posted when I clicked new posts.). Regardless, I tried to watch the embedded video and the post kept flashing blue every 10 secs even when I refreshed it.

[deathofcheese]

I had to edit the crap out of that post because I messed up the second movie's link a bunch of times.

[Gio Takahashi]

I had to edit the crap out of that post because I messed up the second movie's link a bunch of times.

there's your explanation, even in live topic, edited posts will automatically update.

This applies to double posts made as well.

[Bloodcinder]

When viewing the chat page, the Forums and Chat links on the navbar are broken and Community and Search do not display a dropdowns.

[Gio Takahashi]

yeah, been having problem with it. not sure how to fix this for now.

---------- Post added at 15:54 ---------- Previous post was at 15:52 ----------

did some temporary fix though.

[Bloodcinder]

I think profile pictures is broken.

[Gio Takahashi]

Fixed.

[Bloodcinder]

Confirmed. Thanks.

[Arainach]

Is there any particular reason why that "temporary URL" message is still up?

[Gio Takahashi]

No, I thought I had taken that down, again.

^ The YouTube linking is apparently having issues. On the forum, it runs into an error. When you go to the source page on YouTube, no such error occurs.

[Bloodcinder]

That worked for me.

[Arainach]

Works for me too. IE8/Vista32.

[Gio Takahashi]

Working for me. Firefox/7 64

The script that turns Amazon links into a special type of link doesn't always work. It turned my link above into this:

http://www.amazon.com/MP3-Music-Downloa/d/b/

FAIL

[Gio Takahashi]

I wasn't even aware we have that script.

[Bloodcinder]

Not really a bug, but can you reset my rank to default? I can't figure out how to do it, and I think it's because I've not got admin access anymore.

[Gio Takahashi]

This is done, Yuber.

[Bloodcinder]

I thank you eightfold.

[Arainach]

Search appears to be using OR on keywords instead of AND. For instance, [Dr. Horrible Sing Along Blog] returns 12 pages of results, while [Dr. Horrible] returns 7 pages. This should not be.

[Gio Takahashi]

Noted.
