Did you look into the IVANOV thread bug?

capristo

Apr 15, 2009, 6:21 am
ok fixed it.... it was because U_E put something inside [brackets] and somehow the bbcode got screwed up

capristo

Apr 15, 2009, 7:04 am
hey Comrade, were you ever able to update your profile?
Also, I increased the avatar limit to 150x150. Erno, I\'ll update the admin section so that you can change the avatar size limits

Somagu

Apr 15, 2009, 7:59 pm
Thanks.

Quick note, IVANT was made by Nameless, if you could change that in the downloads area.

Also pluses are still removed by quick (regular?) edit.

capristo

Apr 15, 2009, 10:22 pm
thanks, I didn\'t know who made IVANT
I have no idea why the pluses are removed...

Comrade

Thought I\'d re-mention the \"editing removes all + symbols in a post\" bug. In attempting to fix RtD updates on account of my changed handle I managed to mangle said updates

Somagu

Apr 18, 2009, 8:57 pm
Not only did you remove the pluses, somehow you actually managed to lop off everything after the part that said who was on the hydra.

Ischaldirh

Apr 19, 2009, 1:51 am
What?! How did I manage that?! All I did was Ctrl-F for \"Atomic\" and replace it with \"Ischaldirh\".

chaostrom

Apr 19, 2009, 4:50 am
Yes, funnily enough, this was all that was left at the end:

Hydra
Bouncing Ball
Meepo - poisoned, overheated, has the knight\'s blade (extreme heat), horrible singer, can inventory the room he\'s in, lucky, friends with BDR, allied with Konork, in Hydra\'s 1st mouth {Soul - 60%}
Shard - unstoppable, broken leg with bone exposed, infertile, has bloodied & cracked stala

Hmm, the same kind of thing happened to me with the latest Attnamton update. After (quick)editing, the post was cut off near the middle.

With Atomic changing his name to Ischaldirh and 4bz4 using an avatar with \"Atomic\" in it, I feel quite happy. I mean, I feel confused.

I find it annoying, that when there\'s a new post in a subforum, it also marks the actual forum with a new post marker. As the subforum also shows that, I think the main one shouldn\'t. Opinions?

capristo

Apr 22, 2009, 10:37 am
I fixed that. It was a bug not a feature

Z

Apr 23, 2009, 6:31 pm
I don\'t like it that some forums still show up as having new posts, while there are no new posts since the last time I watched them (there are posts which I did not read, but that\'s because they are in threads which I don\'t find interesting). It could be fixed in two ways:

1) allow users to ignore threads, so that they don\'t highlight when there are new posts in them

2) (simpler) don\'t highlight a forum if there are no new posts since last time I clicked the link to it (I suppose phpBB uses that).

capristo

Apr 23, 2009, 7:25 pm
Okay I\'ll work on that. In the mean time, if you didn\'t know, there is a link in the top right of the forum to \"mark all forums read\".. you can read all the topics you\'re interested in, then click that link.

capristo

Apr 25, 2009, 9:44 pm
bahahahahaha. This will make more sense to people with programming experience

ok so what quickedit does is send the text information through javascript like so:
stufftosend = \'text=\'+(text)+\'&p=\'+(postnumber)+\'&stuff=\'+(morestuff)...

so the reason the + signs were disappearing is, javascript uses + for string concatenation, and if it appears in quotes, it is just replaced by a blank space. The reason half of the posts were disappearing sometimes is that they contained an ampersand (or, an escaped character such as a \" which is replaced by " ). It interpreted that as a new value (so for example if you typed \"this & that\", it would think \" that\" is a new variable (in addition to text, p, and stuff). So that\'s why the text was disappearing.

The first thing I did was figure out how to replace + with the HTML equivalent +
Of course the problem now was the + was causing the same problem as other ampersands, it deleted the remainder of the post. Since &\'s html ascii is just &, it\'s a recursive problem. So there was no way to possibly escape the &. So instead, I replace & with \"sometext\" and then when displaying the text in the topic, use php to revert \"sometext\" to &
Anyways, the point is, + and & no longer destroy posts or disappear. Try posting a post with them and quickediting it twice to find out exactly what \"sometext\" is

capristo

Apr 25, 2009, 9:45 pm
after somebody figures why I\'m laughing about this, I can fix it, don\'t worry

Eagle V

I can see forums marked as admin-only when there is a new post, but I (of course) can\'t read them.
Kind of annoying when you desperately try to click a yellow icon and then suddenly notice that you don\'t have permission to view it...

EDIT: I find the \'&\' slightly amusing... Nice job (again)

capristo

Ahh, thanks for pointing that out Eagle, I fixed it. And I made the editing & normal now

Tryied to delete my blank accident on Operation: Invade Erno\'s house thread and the following line appeared.

\"Fatal error: Call to undefined function makeurl() in /home/pigpla/public_html/att/delete.php on line 74\"

capristo

May 6, 2009, 8:31 pm
Thanks for being really specific Erno, I fixed it. It\'s because I\'m updating the code on my other website and haven\'t transferred it over here yet, except the delete.php file on accident. So basically in the future, what makeurl will do is turn links like these:
viewtopic.php?t=1000
profile.php?u=20
to these:
topics/1000/official-bugs-thread
users/20/ernomouse

BDR

May 7, 2009, 12:21 am
Something very similar happened to me.. \"Fatal error: Call to undefined function makeurl() in /home/pigpla/public_html/att/posting.php on line 339\" I also got a \"forum/ does not exist\" error while trying to get to the main forum from the area where replies are written.

I\'m not sure, but it seems that if there are new messages on several pages, the forum takes me to the beginning of the first page.

EDIT: I take that back. There was no new messages after all, although the thread was marked having one... The message got deleted? The little details thread is in question.

BDR

Aug 5, 2009, 8:22 am
I\'ve seen that bug, and it does look like a result of someone posting, then deleting the post and the forum not getting the message that there is no longer a new response. Could be something else, though.

chaostrom

Aug 5, 2009, 9:17 am
Hmm. Could be me. Sometimes I post something, then delete it immediately. I\'ve done that a couple of times now.

BDR

Aug 10, 2009, 8:15 pm
Very minor bug test....

Test

Test

Test

I have edited this post 4 times. Original post was just \"Very minor bug test....\" Maybe not so minor...

I think how this works is that if you edit within the minute of your original post time that the edit is not countedcounter is not triggered (possibly because edits are assumed to take long enough that they happen in different minutes). I first saw this a while back but I didn\'t think very much of it and didn\'t think to post it until now. This is the fifth and likely only reported edit to this post. Then again.... sixth unreported??

Ok. It caught up with that last one. Since now it looks fine, I\'ll explain what happened: When I clicked Save and came back, there was no mention of how many times the post had been edited, so it looked as if the post was original. It stayed that way for five edits. Only the sixth (plus one where I actually clicked Cancel and thus didn\'t actually change the post, might want to work on that too) got the counter to show.

This will be the 9th edit. >_>;;;;

Ischaldirh

Aug 10, 2009, 9:14 pm
Says it was edited 9 times in total for me...

Somagu

Aug 10, 2009, 9:17 pm
Also that may very well be a feature for if you made a typo and didn\'t notice it until you posted.

Just guessing though.

capristo

Aug 10, 2009, 10:19 pm
Somagu\'s right... you get 5 minutes to edit a post before it shows up in case you had a minor fix
Now for me since I\'m special, it never shows the edit message Mods will get more advanced options when editing in the near future

BDR

Aug 11, 2009, 5:01 am
Gotcha. If the forum were bigger it could potentially be abused, though. But eh, not likely anyone who wants to hang around here would engage in such dickery. Just making stuff clear is all.

capristo

BDR

Sep 28, 2009, 8:29 pm
I have figured out why the yellow arrow doesn\'t take me to the first new post anymore! It is because it uses the old method of topic linkage (by topic number) rather than the new method (by topic name), and perchance thus the other code to make it do what it should does not work. The way of seeing the latest post in a topic, which uses the topic name with the additional post number does work by contrast.

capristo

Sep 28, 2009, 9:25 pm
nah, that\'s not why. I think whoever theorized that somebody posts and then deletes the post is correct.
Also, I think for the sub-forums (i.e. Wesnoth), it never works period.

BDR

Sep 29, 2009, 2:35 am
No, it doesn\'t work even for this topic. It doesn\'t have anything to do with deletion; pretty certain.

capristo

Sep 29, 2009, 2:52 am
No because the URL has nothing to do with code. The .htaccess file changes this:
http://www.attnam.com/posts/13378/official-bugs-thread#13378
into this:
http://www.attnam.com/viewtopic.php?p=13378#13378
and as you see if you click them, they both work

BDR

I just might have fixed the problems with not linking to the most recent unread reply. Only from the main board display, not from the forums themselves. Let me know how it is working. At least the sub-forums didn\'t work period before, but now they appear to.

Yes but that\'s only a workaround now.

When I posted a shout a couple of minutes ago, it didn\'t broadcast my whole message (\'Jimmeh & Zoohlocks remember\' etc etc), and shoutlog.php is now still something like the upper half, but whenever I type something in the textbox the red/pink error shows up (and adjusts with every char I type). Is it because I used the ampersand (&)?

http://www.attnam.com/wiki/Saal\'Thul

On top of this, the forum does not recognize that an apostrophe does not necessarily signal the end of a link.

Sorry, I thought that was sort of implied. I don\'t know what\'s wrong with it and I thought the only problem was the apostrophes, so I didn\'t feel like looking into it... the whole thing on the other hand is a bigger problem. I\'ll try to fix it this week

It seems that when someone made a new reply to the \"what blob is doing now\" thread and deleted it that it caused the Other Games forum to be marked as having new replies on my \'main menu\' despite there not being a post for the thread listing to point to within the forum itself. Also, the thread was considered newer than the Freelancers thread despite there not being a new reply to point at in it whereas there was with the Freelancers thread.

how long have you been working on the new forum again?

I have discovered that the shoutbox drains my data transfer at 18 kB per second. Since I am currently on a mobile network, I actually pay for that (more than 1 US cent per minute). I suppose this could be the reason why I have been suddenly drained of my powers in the past (I expect sites like Facebook to drain and I turn them off just in case, but I did not expect that Attnam Forum does this too). I think compression, an option to turn off shoutbox refresh, and more effective implementation (just load the changes) would all be helpful.

capristo

Apr 29, 2011, 2:32 pm
Yes it\'s very inefficient, I think it loads the page every second or something. Sorry. I\'ll try to address this later today

capristo

May 15, 2011, 9:26 pm
Z, for now I\'ve changed the shoutbox to load once every 5 seconds instead of every second. Still looking for more efficient ways to load it.

Been getting odd error messages at seemingly random times -- once when I tried to access the forum main (it was gone on the second try) and twice while trying to quote Chao for a post just now (I gave up and entered the code manually). Sorry I don\'t have the error code but next time it pops up I\'ll try to grab it.

Suddenly reverting to its original state mid-edit, undoing everything I was editing

Actually it's possible the hacker could have spotted that vulnerability from Cap's google spreadsheet detailing the update progress.

Exploiting a vulnerability =/= creating a vulnerability. But you're right, unfinished code probably was exploited.

capristo

Jul 7, 2011, 4:38 pm
Unfinished code or possibly just some of the old code that I haven\'t gotten around to rewriting. I\'m guessing he was able to upload a script through the attachment/gallery process. I\'ll make sure I patch uploads and use a better encryption algorithm first. Nothing wrong with having a custom forum, if it\'s not using code that was developed 6 years ago.

Alveradok

Jul 8, 2011, 4:45 pm
I suppose a custom forum developed with someone skilled in security issues would potentially be safer, because it's exploits wouldn't be well-known and to break in would possibly require actual skill.

It's really not that hard to make a secure website that 99.999% of people can't hack. The problem is that most of the code was written about 2 years after I started web development and I havent' had time to revisit it.

EDIT 3.10.2o11: I keep seeing an error message, that usually goes away by refreshing the forums. Today it didn't, for a while... I'm just saying, I don't know how old this gnoll is.

As a side note, my doubts in macs are being backed up every day I start this machine.

EDIT: It happens almost every time I type "www.attnam.com/forum" for the first time on my wife's account after booting the computer. Using my bookmark on my own account seems to work. After I refresh the page, I'm logged out even if I check remember me. What else...

I get a similar error every day as well. I'll edit in the information when I see it tomorrow.

This is it:

Also, browsing the shoutbox history doesn't seem to work. I can't look at other pages, just the latest one.

Okay, renaming thread titles also seem broken.

That new thread you made (cutest thing ever) brought my browser to a grinding halt, then refused to play anything but the audio whilst the browser adamantly refused to let me do anything about it.

I point the rigid finger of accusation at the new youtube embed change

BUT i'll go try it again just in case.

EDIT: Upon reloading the page, the video worked as normal... up until the youtube player became unresponsive and kept on playing the video regardless of what I clicked.
Starting to think it could possibly be something on my end.

Well it is using iframes, which are Youtube's preferred method of embedding video now, but are probably more intense for the browser to load.
