Backslash Strangeness

#1760 posted by Preach on 2013/11/18 11:04:36

When you preview a post containing backslashes, the backslashes get stripped. Doubling up a backslash means a single backslash appears in the preview (and the submission text). Submitting a post with doubled-up backslashes creates a post with doubled-up backslashes. Seems like something odd is going on with the previewer?

Got This Again

RECURSIVE ERROR:
Error 1: Can't connect to database.
Error 2: SQL error 1040 on line 98 of _user.php.
This problem usually goes away if you refresh the page (but feel free to tell metlslime about the specific error you just got, since I'm curious about why this happens.

And it's slow to load pages just now.

And It's Back To Normal...

Ahh... SQL error 1040 is "too many connections" so I guess it was just too busy.

There was a DoS.

Could you put a link in the sticky OP on how to do things like making working links and such? A quick search didn't do me any good.

#1766 posted by metlslime on 2013/12/17 08:18:37

it's in the FAQ but I could make it more prominent I guess

Thanks.

All the images in /levels/rubicon2/ are broken.

Thanks, this is fixed now. It was another place in my code where I was relying on the "register_globals" setting.

Time To Update The Links?

#1770 posted by oh, that person on 2014/01/04 21:58:01

QuakeDev is gone, PQ hasn't been updated since August 2012, and Besmella redirects to Quakeworld.nu. Also, a link to http://quakewiki.org/ would be nice.

Updated.

Testing long words -- instead of chopping them and adding a "..." at the end, i now set the CSS property overflow=auto to add a scroll bar.

#1774 posted by metlslime on 2014/01/24 18:30:24

man that is ugly.

but at least people can read long strings.

Can't You Just Split The String And Add A Newline Between Splits?

#1775 posted by Kinn on 2014/01/24 18:37:47

would be better than that scroll bar

You Could

#1776 posted by SleepwalkR on 2014/01/24 18:38:23

make shortened words clickable, and a click on them expands them, showing the scrollbar. Because yeah: ugly.

#1777 posted by metlslime on 2014/01/24 18:51:01

I'll try to come up with something better, when i have more time to work on it.

Usually long strings with no spaces are things like source code, urls, etc. where adding a space could invalidate the content. So i have to keep that in mind.

Word Up G

#1778 posted by DaZ on 2014/01/24 21:42:36

the html on the front page atm seems borked. Giant black segment running down the side that seems to be caused by links in a news item.

#1779 posted by metlslime on 2014/01/25 00:01:13

i don't see it, what browser are you using?

Happens On Safari

#1780 posted by SleepwalkR on 2014/01/25 00:14:36

I Saw This Earlier

#1781 posted by FifthElephant on 2014/01/25 00:41:38

on my phone. But only when I logged in on my pc did I realise what this meant, this is hella ugly having a giant scroll bar. The Rage thread is fucked on my pc.

#1782 posted by Spirit on 2014/01/25 00:48:08

I would rather just extend the long words to break out of the layout. looks like ass too but is much more user friendly imo, especially on small screens.

but isn't there some css3 stuff that might allow hard hyphenation? been a while since I looked.
