It seems that if you have a " character in the title and hit preview, the " and everything after it disappears in the form on the preview screen.
A bit of view sourcing suggests that you need to escape the " in value attribute of the <input> in the form...

could the "New X" text in the forum headlines list be a bit more saturated color. It's so close to white now that on some crappy lcd's (dell 1704fpt) it's hard to tell it from white. Thank you.

...but the personal attacks coming out of IP 85.185.123.22 are starting to disturb me. We've had flame sessions and name calling sessions before but this stuff seems malicious.
As you probably know this IP has been banned from Wikipedia after much abuse.

I know it's only a temporary IP as
The People's Internet Inc cycle through IPs but they don't seem to be able to police there own.
Meh, Best Mapper is a stupid devisive thread anyway and awards for mapping/modding/PCs/TCs etc happen in the new year already anyway, so why not close the thread.

I think the thread would not be closed, however it should not have been opened by "external func_ morron"... I just mean that it could be possible to allow only registered users, and also logged users, to post in, and create threads... It's a little bit harsh for extra users, but efficient against stupid people... We saw too much examples these last months :(
As well, creating account could be secured just providing a "real" email, that need to be checked automatically (i.e. you create your account, and you obtain in return a beautifull automatic mail reply stating that your account is now activated...) I don't know how long such a task need, but it is feasible for sure... I already saw that on othr website...
And the most important: metlslime, what do you think ?
PS: distrans, where are my background textures ? ;)

the best mapper thread is a retarded thread started by a pathetic fuckwit. Some people decided to run with it and turn it into a legit thread (and thanks btw, for the nice words many of you posted about teh marcher), but I never had any intention to post in there myself.
Also ^ what JPL said about only registered users posting (and email validation in the registering process would be good too, if it's possible to implement)
Well...

I'm hesitant to give up the openness that we have -- it's nice to know that if someone from another clique (like mapcenter, or lvl, or quakesrc) can post here on a whim. Outsiders like that, which we should welcome, probably wouldn't create a whole new account just to post some simple comment. But there may be some changes I could make that would reduce spam without inconvieniencing people.
Openness Is Good.

but what's wrong with just making it possible for the moderators to delete spam posts/threads?

Yes, at least it would either discourage morron to post here, or discourage moderators to delete posts regarding the amount of stupidity posted these last days :D
OTOH I admit that the actual openess is good... I'm the first to look to other forum or Quake related website (Quaddicted, planetquake, etc..) and at least read what's going on... posting is an other story..
Open!

Quaddicted forums and comments are totally open too. And I'll leave it as it is as long as Shambler does not post more than 10 comments per day:

>:P
I delete them once a day, about 4-5 per day. Openness > 1 minute work for me. It's something different here of course.

Really? I'd just include a "copy.txt" that you can edit anytime. That or have a tiny script that prints the range of years (i.e. 2002-2006)

Is that from some "congratulations, PHP is successfully installed" type page?

Would it be possible to implement RSS feed for func? I'm not familiar wit this stuff, but getting all new posts immediately to the pc would be cool.

actually, i've already made one, though i never got around to polishing it and adding a link from the main page.

Also, it appears to be broken right now.
Okay...

one of the news items had a backquote in it. I replaced it with an apostrophe and it works now. Have to look into setting the proper encoding in the xml tags, i guess.

The RSS feed only relays new threads. Which happens twice per year if we're lucky.
