What if divide news archive section into pages? I.e. to make 'all news' button and 'last 50(100) news' one. Since there's too much news today. 

There are many people here who can host the func_ site and/or database. Do you want to switch hosts? 

I'm finding the site inaccessible in my afternoons, which is probably o'dark thirty wherever the server is. Any particular problem? 

That is fixed now. It was a problem with long running SQL queries in the cube forum, which runs on the same machine. My bad. 

cheers :) 

Ah good, glad to hear the problem had a cause and a solution :) 

the cause was sheer and utter stupidity and the solution involved duct tape and spit, but it seems to be holding together. 

I would really love to see those queries so I won't be as stupid in the future. 

you don't ;-)

It was a combination of stupied queries and a missing index. 

When submitting news, aren't you supposed to get a message saying something among the lines of "Thanks for your submission" etc?

I just tried submitting some news, and in both IE8 and Firefox 3.5, it would just throw me to the main Forum menu after clicking the Submit button. 

i'm actually not sure what's supposed to happen, i forgot how i coded it. A confirmation message is probably a good idea though.

I ended up with 4 submissions from you :) 

have you changed something recently? the address bar used to have the post # of the first post visible in the bar, so you could change it to jump to whatever post # you wanted to. now, all it does is show:
http://www.celephais.net board/forum.php (replace space with /) no matter what you're looking at. 

Are you using Opera? If you have focus on the address bar (eg cursor in it), it will not change even if you click on links. 

and my cursor isn't on the address bar 

I haven't changed anything...

maybe its a misguided attempt to show you only the webpage's filename and not the querystring which they consider confusing and complicated? 

FF 3.5.2 here and I see the entire full URL, in the case of right now: http://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=2&start=1336

But a bug I just noticed: If I take a full URL, like the one above and put it inside the quote tags, this is what happens:

http://www.celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=2&start=1336

Nor link doesn't work neither does it get fully displayed as a quoted text. 

good catch, i'll have to figure out how to fix that. 

well, it's not doing it anymore. i'm not sure why it was before, but it must just be been a momentary glitch on my side. 

I just noticed that most people's nicks are white, when I know they should have a color. I don't recall this happening in the earlier betas of Opera 10, just the release candidate and final. On a mac by the way... but Firefox and Safari have no problem.

The following nicks, just from the last 50 posts are white: mine, metlslime, rickyt23, spirit, JPL, inertia, Jago, Pulsar, onetruepurple.

I would guess that Opera doesn't like certain weird RGB combinations? Are there perhaps style options I should change to get around this? 

Grahf's color bug doesn't occur in Opera 10.00, Ubuntu Jaunty Jizz 

Maybe it is an Apple feature because white is trendy? ;)

Check if the visited links are set to white in Preferences -> Web Pages. And make sure you did not enable some style/mode/layout. 

 

i think if you switch on fit to width, it enables some mode that takes care of bad colour contrasts , too 

meaning it is disabling colored text when the color doesn't contrast against the background sufficiently? 

but, for example, JPL uses bright red, surely that contrasts enough?
