Restored forum bugs thread - Page 3

Here are three so far. Sorry for the crazy fifty billion posts.

Edit: Gonna keep adding more to this post, I guess.

Feel free to make a new thread for this, makes things easier for those of us who can put the images where they belong.

rpgdemon · 04-17-2010, 03:14 PM

Alright. And since Internet Archive is being crazy slow, I'm going to start uploading them to my own site, if that's cool?

Meister · 04-17-2010, 03:18 PM

Absolutely. If you want to be really thorough about it you can pop 'em in a zip file and attach it.

Meanwhile though I'm gonna look for the thread where we had these images made way, way back - it's a very long shot but maybe there's a complete directory still here somewhere. But do carry on!

rpgdemon · 04-17-2010, 03:38 PM

Alright, well, I'm gonna grab some lunch while you do that. Haven't eaten all day. XD

Another thing worth noting is that the stylesheet seems a bit messed up for the smileys on the right. Dunno if the More link (And the alt text for the smilies) was always a hard to see white, but figured I'd mention it.

No dice on that thread. I can't even find it.

Don't go to too much trouble over these images - if we can get the thread icons and edit/quote/etc. buttons for now, that's enough. Just so the place isn't a complete eyesore anymore with those jagged white borders. Everything else we'll fix as time passes.

For me, there's a broken image atop next to the thread name, on a link that says 'reload this page'. It's also borken when outside of the threads as well.

So, some special characters aren't showing up correctly in old posts. Like ? being � and I think ellipses are ?€?. I'll find out when I submit this post if it applies to special characters input after the forum came back.

Edit: My accented e turned into a question mark. Neat.

The server probably needs it's unicode fixed up. Though, special characters screwing up during a database transfer is pretty common.

I even found some apostrophes that had gone sour while re-reading the comic thread just now. Freaking apostrophes.
