Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
rather than mess with the message center code, they decided to throw those users to the front page, since it does the same thing.
Absolutely fine, and I agree, but the point I was making is that, despite the fact that I have metric shitloads of subscribed threads, if I start my browser and go straight to the message centre then I get kicked back to the front page.
For some reason, I seem to be erroneously failing the "user has at least one subscribed thread" test at that point.
John, your code is old. That bug has been fixed for most people. In fact, I wasn't aware that anyone was still experiencing it.
Can I have your OS/browser info again? And does it happen with all combos thereof?
I'm on MacOS 9.2.
I just tried it in Netscape 4.5, Opera 5, and IE5, and they all do the same thing.
In case there's any confusion, what I did was
Just tried it in (Virtual) Windows IE5 and the same thing happened.
Aha. What I hadn't realized (read: skimmed past) was that you were logged in when you hit index.php.
I think the PHP upgrade bit us. The version when the code was started handled session variables differently. This version seems to have switched over to just one way. Which is good, if I'd actually caught all the instances of the old way.
It's fixed now.
Bless you, so it is. Good work.
And I never would have whinged about it if it was just the minor annoyance, it was the bandwidth thing too, lots of extra hits on the front page I never needed to make.
S'probably obvious, but I'm not seeing any images all of a sudden.
I just realized that in the four months or so we've been here, we've never had a post burb. We've never lost posts, or been stuck offline for more than a few hours -- and even then, it was a one time thing. All our threads are working, the interface hasn't crumbled, and we've been able to discuss or repair any difficulties we've had with the board calmly and rationally, like the intelligent people we are.
I'd just like to thank ita and those who worked on the board again, for the hard work and talent you've put into creating our home. You have my everlasting gratitude, guys. This is still the most amazing thing we as a community have ever accomplished.
And on that subject, here's yet another little bit of PHP code which checks all tags for whether they have unmatched quotes of any kind in them.
Please test it if you have a moment.
