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? 

Megaman was right. "Fit to Width" was causing the problem. Never would have guessed that. 

yeah, it's modifying the colour then. 

... and don't read func (because, say, I'm on honeymoon) it's hard to catch up because (particularly) the permanent threads have like 300 posts and there's no way to only read some of them. If I click the "new 300" link, they all get marked as read.

I guess I should just get over this and not read 300 posts of mostly pointless bickering, but have you thought about making this easier, maybe paging through new posts 25 at a time or something? 

i haven't really thought of that, but it might be doable. Currently the "unread" status is per-thread, not per post -- each thread stores the highest-numbered post you've seen, and so if the post count is higher than that, it means you have unread posts.

Since viewing only the first page of "new" posts would only bump up that "highest read post" up by 25 (if you have 25 to a page) then it would correctly remember that you haven't read them all yet, if you get interrupted and don't actually get a change to read all the pages of new posts. 

Please fix the special character -> html entity code so they are not html encoded again when you pull them from the db (guessing).

It should display the character not the HTML code.

You HTML-卍! 

 

The links to the PQ review sites are dead. You should probably change them to Spirit's mirrors. 

yes, good idea 

There are no Spirit's mirrors yet, sorry. Quakewiki.net is someone else and he was not cooperative. 

I used the mirrors at quaddicted.com for the three sites that seemed to be mirroed (SPQ level heaven, teamshambler, and quake map hotel) and then used quakewiki.net links for the remainder.

Tenfour, which is hosted at telefragged still, seems to have recently broken (script error.) Hope that gets fixed.

Talon's strike is at archive.org still, might be good to grab that and put it in a zip file on a website that one of us actually controls.

And crash is still at quake2.com, can't believe that's still running. 

and just wanted to give some additional recognition to Spirit and the other people at i3d who did all the archiving work a few months ago. A big effort, and you guys managed to save a lot of un-replacable stuff. Thanks again. 

Oh, you found some old directory. I did not even remember it was still there, heh.

The "new" mirror files are not uploaded yet. I will properly announced that. Finished some sites already.

They screwed up their hosting by not interpreting ASP (or something like that) but instead listing whole directories on some accounts. That means private and personal data was exposed. So apart from removing ads and fixing links I also have to check everything for accidentaly included stuff. What really pisses me off about it is that I mailed PQ when I noticed and the answer was "nah, we never had ASP support"...

underworldfan will officially be at Quaddicted. We had some conversation a while back, I should resurrect that. 

Those are good mirrors!

I am so damn unorganised... Found 3 different mirror directories on my harddisks. 

I am so damn unorganised..

Aren't you German or what ?

And heavily revised to increase the ease of finding resources and far more complete than before.

/places info here rather than starting new thread. 

I would have thought GA rather than here (or mebe a news post, less worthy stuff gets news'd tbh).

One thing tho, some of those links are hinting the IGN/GS bullshit "this page is down for maintenance" error page they use for content they stopped hosting... 

It's not news worthy, just updating a resource that helps people find things.

I don't believe the new version has any PlanetQuake links in it so that message shouldn't be possible but then again maybe I need to double check some of the links. 

Heh, just blind luck then. Only one I clicked was the console commands (iirc) and got the dead page page. 

You're right!

I blew it. 

Have started popping up on a daily basis 

are they something like "too many connections?" If so, that seems to be a random occurrence based on server load.
