New A2K Bugs

Then let me apologize to you for this:

When you pointed it out, I went to correct it. I was faced with 800 some topics that were imported with my misspelling and when I went to correct it the database wouldn't let me because someone (mostly you I guess) had been using it correctly.

Now those database rows are aggregated at a bunch of different points and I didn't want to try to merge them and screw them all up. So what I did was make those 8 tags that were correct spelled wrong, and changed my imported one with 800 topics to be right.

I meant to tell you specifically, because I just made you use my typo that you pointed out and as a language snob I'm sure you won't like that. Sorry! Can you just edit your tags and fix them? 8 is mo' easy than 800.

You're right, ehBeth, just wrong. Misspellings always annoy me, expecially my own, except once in a while when I am fond of them on purpose. as in my spelling of judgemental, but that's another soliloquy.

On the enviro thing, I figure that will pass with numbers over time, and we'll have zillions more misspellings to balance that.

The signature preference bug has been fixed. If you have your 'Show Signatures' preference set to 'no', then they shouldn't show up anymore.

Hey Nick....

When will be able to quote to include images?

Thanku

Oh, hot damn.

But wait. The person I was planning to ignore for the past month hasn't been seen since day one of a2k new.

I couldnt tell for sure whether your post was serious or sarcastic (and if so, why), but in any case I checked out where I added "environment" as tag, and it's in three threads. Do you need me to change it to the wrong spelling so you dont come across the problem you described, or delete it altogether?

In case eBeth needs to replace them, there's not an easy way to find back the threads where you, specifically, added a certain tag (unless it's one of your top tags, in which case it will appear in the "My tags" box on the left of the page on your "My tags" page), but what seems to work is just to type in http://able2know.org/user/YOURNAME/tags/NAMEOFTAG into the address bar.

Text disappears after posting if it happens to be placed between a "smaller than" and a "greater than" character. My guess is that the software interprets it as an HTML tag it doesn't understand, and decides to ignore it.

I'll go unfix my fix. Ta very much.

hmm, maybe not
when I go to My Tags and go to environment, the only topics I find are ones I didn't tag - they seem to have been picked up in your correction, which I thank you for - I wouldn't have expected 'enviroment' to be looked at for a few weeks)

I switched one of them to enviroment - and will keep looking for 'my' environments to switch out.

This may have been answered, even on this thread, and may or may not be a Bug..
I have my settings set to No Collapsing.
I am now beginning to see some threads that have been collapsed for "below viewing threshold". Checked one, and it was a game thread that got a lot of "down" votes. (I may end up joining those who vote them down for organizational reasons, but haven't quite yet.)

???

Sorry if this has already been posted.....but I keep getting booted out and having to re-log in.

Evidently it helps if you make sure that you have selected "remember me" on the log-in page.

Will do, thanks

Actually I haven't had any problems. Click on reply or reply to all and then the BBCode editor and then when you click on Img you get this:
[img][/img]

Just have the URL in your mouse and paste -- the cursor is already between the two brackets--and then hit the 'reply' button and voila: a picture will appear. At least it has for me a couple of times now.

Thomas & one other user posed the same question earlier, and i have the same problem as all of you. a game thread i like has a -11 score now, and gets collapsed, even though i have post-threshold & topic-threshold set to no-collapse, and i put a tag on the thread so i can follow it with My Tags. i really hope this gets fixed, or barring that, maybe the people that Thumbs Down the long-lasting trivia threads can stop doing it when it reaches -10. (i know i can thumbs up, but thumbs up doesn't work for me most of the time, and what keeps another well-meaning user from thumbing it down right afterwards?)

Hey, I can't see the signatures any longer - thanks for the quick fix!

I only saw your reply now, Nick - thank you!! That was quick.

Yitwail, I should have reviewed this thread..
anyway, I saw on another thread in a post that I think was by Craven (memory lapse) that this is a bug. Which is fine, just wanted the crew to know about it.

well, looks liked the bug's been fixed! yay!! i now see 2, count 'em, topics with -11 score in My Tags. great work, a2k staff.

You're right, yitwail, and thanks, folks.
