6.0 Posting

·Why is the reply count wrong, leading to a blank page?
·Post paging - empty page problem
·Thumbs up pop-up chopped, in Mozilla
·Reply Bug.
·Smiley text not translated to image when using [code] block or "pre" tag
·Reply Blocked, Topic cannot be replied to at this time
·HTTP links don't always work in posts
·Edit Time is incorrect.
Why is it that towards the end of a thread, one often finds "Next Page" offered, but it goes to an "empty" page?

Surely this is either a "one-off" error (zero-origin vs 1-origin) or a simple miscalculation.

I'm frequently seeing the board show a page # that's blank. I think it happens when there's an exact number of posts, e.g. if I have 15 posts per page, and there are 30 posts in the topic, I'll see "1 2 3", where the 3rd link takes me to an empty page.


That can happen when a Mod removes posts from a thread. The tracking of the number of posts for the thread seems to stay the same even though some of the posts are no longer there, so it displays it as if all of the posts still existed.

When trying to give someone an "atta-boy" thumbs up, the pop-up window is cut in half.

Any way to fix this?

Using Windows XP, Mozilla 1.4.





I believe the bug only occurs when using the "Classic" theme. Try changing it ...

I do not see the bug when using the Modern theme.

Reply Bug. (#8216)


I am trying to reply to an answer I received here:

/forum/remark,8124514~root=equip,9~mode=flat;start=20

and when I go to reply thanks, I get duplicate post, seen this text already, but its not there..



The duplicate check is site-wide, not just for a specific forum or thread.

Add a couple of spaces, or another sentence.



You can also throw in an html command like < /i>

Smiles

If something like that was posted and explained before - I'm sorry. Show me a link. And may be it's not a bug at all, but I've tried several times to post that page and it did not show smiles as I expected. Between those attempts I tried to make other posts - with success (as usual), they all show common smiles (like this one ).

Is it something wrong with that particular post?
And what should I do to avoid the problem in future?

My default preference - show smiles.

Thank you .

even though it is not consistent behavior it is extremely low on my priority list to fix. A smilie doesn't HAVE to be a cute graphic. A text smilie or text wink is understood universally. Code blocks are usually used for topics that are not just excuses for social chit chat.

There is a thread that sometimes when I attempt to reply, it says

Many other users are experiencing this error and I'm wondering if it's a database problem or something.

It happens if there were more than a few posts with less than a few words made to the topics in the last few hours.

Stops fast-growing topics with nonsense posts.

As can be seen in the following post:
/forum/remark,11378849~mode=flat
the http code does not always result in a linkable connection. This appears to happen when the HTTP link is posted right after an /quote passage. I have seen this in many posts, including my own. Often I need to add blanks and enter for a new line to get the HTTP code to create a linkable result.

I did a search of this forum to see if this problem was posted before and couldn't find any. I apologize if this problem has already been reported and is being worked on.

since the parsing is done in a loop until all are found, in order not to get caught looping, it does not parse what look like urls after quotes or angle brackets because otherwise it would match post substitution as well as pre.

There is certainly a better regex expression that could be used, or the parsing could be done in two stages, first replacing links with tokens then replacing tokens with html, to avoid this, but I'm too lazy to change that right now given the few posts it impacts.
