Website issues

[Scud]

Gents:

While we are on the subject of Blitz Website "challenges"... myself and Rod Coles (maybe others?) have been unable to attach files to our posts. I receive a "The files could not be found on this server" error message when I try to attach a file to my postings. :mad:

Well, sorry to hear that Mike, but again, I don't think Raz will look in the CS forum for website issues. Maybe, though.

Maybe it would be a good idea to set-up a "sticky" post where folks could post their "challenges" with the Blitz Website?

There already is. That's what I've been trying to get across to everyone: https://www.theblitz.club/message_boards/ Very first thread "Bug Reports." Another one for feature requests. Also, Raz's email is included at the bottom of the site, but you have to know to click his name for the link. Anyway, it's this: [email protected]

I also posted something in the officers area, for what it's worth. He usually responds, but apparently is having "real life" issues at the moment, at least that's what we were told, so I'm not sure how quickly he'll respond.

Lastly, I know this is frustrating for everyone and I don't disagree that the problems are really annoying. I just can't do anything about it. I'm a forum moderator and don't have anything to do with the website programming. Someone emailed me recently and said I was squashing debate. Wasn't my intention, you guys can debate the pros and cons all you want, I just wanted to point out that I didn't think Raz would see it, that's all.

My personal gripe isn't that the site went live, it's that the site went live and then the programmer wasn't around to address the bugs that were sure to crop up. But what's done is done. All I can suggest is you post whatever bugs you come across in the "Bug Fixes" area. If you post here and I see something I can help with, like a user error kind of thing, I certainly will if I can.

Re: Cam's problem, I think it's a code issue. Ed Silcox was nice enough to try to troubleshoot, cause Ed isn't having problems, so between the two maybe they could at least narrow down the problem and make it easier for Raz, but Cam didn't seem to want to help. I'm thinking it's a special characters thing, which might suggest why Ed's would be fine and Cam's not, so if Raz didn't include "stripslashes" code, for instance, and Cam put a slash in his scenario name, mysql is going to flag in with an "invalid parameters" error since the database won't allow that character. Don't know, of course, just guessing, but I'll bet it ends up being something weird like that.

So there you have it.

Thanks,
Dave
