Another Test 
 
Hah, 0wned :D 
 
Okay, 
so my fix doesn't work in Oprah or whatever weird browser you use. 
IE5 
All I did was hit Submit multiple times 
Oh... 
well, stop it! The idea is to prevent accidental double-posts when people hit refresh after posting. If you manually hit back and then submit again, you're a dork. 
 
I didn't hit back, just submit multiple times, you dork. 
Ok, You Rapidly Clicked It Before The Page Could Refresh? 
 
Lemme Try It... 
 
Mkay,,, 
Just double-clicked submit and it only came up once. IE6. 
Metlslime: 
yes 
Test In Mozilla 
 
Ok Then 
 
Can We Have A Maps-in-progress List, Like Qmap? 
 
Did Anyone Ever Use That? 
� 
Me 
 
Obviously. 
my question was directed to other previous members, which i thought was equally obvious. 
Hmm 
well, a simple "map tracker" would be handy, for instance just a list of author|map|download location|site

And it should be searchable etc, would be very handy for a map db with download locations all in 1 place, and what better place is there than here? :) 
Yes 
Since Moddb is for mods, why not have a 'Mapdb'? 
 
(aside from the fact that moddb blows goats) 
Hmmm 
the closest I think of with regard to map listings is Pipeline, and Peekabooms site, both of which have slowed down a lot (I think peekabooms is dead???).

GIMME MAP DB! =) 
Indeed 
I always thought it was interesting to look at; just to see what was going on for others. 
Dissent 
I honestly don't feel a need for map listings. Most maps will probably get listed and never released, and if you're that keen on keeping people aware of what you're doing then you can update your website on a regular basis or post a message in General Abuse (or both).

Having a database for map downloads would be cool in the short term; in the long term, most of the links will be broken. Had Func_Msgboard been built for it, there could have been a classification system for news items (map releases, tools, reviews, etc) in which case that could have been a nice archive. 
RPG Breaks My Fun 
 
Just... 
post them on your website, or someone can make a MapDB which is always out-of-date and incomplete and hard to maintain. 
Metlslime 
I'm trying to archive the contents of Func_ with a web spider and most of it works well. However, it can't seem to parse the view_all_threads and view_all_news pages.

There seem to be some difference between all the other threads and these two. My suspicion is that these seem to be read with the extension .php instead of .php.htm (which might be added by the spider).

Is this intentional or could something be done about it?
