This is an issue with this forum, not TDM itself. I didn't find another area to report this, so I hope it's still the correct place.

 

I was just surprised to see that for some odd reason, specific topics on the forum cannot be accessed due to a server error. In essence, all topics work fine... except one, which tells me "The page isn't redirecting properly" when I go to it. How can this be, and can an admin look into the issue please? Here's a link to the topic in cause:

 

http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/12894-fan-mission-#48-a-score-to-settle-by-springheel-20110701/

 

[EDIT] Renamed this into a general thread for forum bugs introduced by the software upgrade, as suggested below.

Thanks for the report. The forums moved server and had a software upgrade this weekend. taaaki is working through all the bug reports. We should start a thread... or this could be it if you edit your post, go to full editor mode and change the title to something like "New forum bugs" :)

Also another thing I noticed which isn't so much a forum bug but moreso a problem caused by the server switch ( I assume) but all my forum notifications I recieve via email for some reason end up in my spam folder in gmail. I have added the email address to my contacts list so it shouldn't happen anymore but if someone notices that the emails suddenly dont appear in the inbox then they should check the spam folder.

 

Before the switch I had 0 problems with receiving emails from the forum.

grayman had exactly the same problem. Is your junk filtering client-side or server-side? And did you have a "safe sender" rule for the old forum which stopped the notifs going into junk? It's probably not something that's fixable remotely either way, but maybe something to let people know about.

New bug, something that was working earlier on the new forum: I get the error message "No file was selected for upload" when trying to load an image to a post. This happens after the image has (apparently) been uploaded but before I can attach it to the post.

It doesn't appear to like the # character. Looking at the web server config files now to see if I can resolve this.

 

# in URLs are not sent to the server, they denote an "anchor", and the anchor part is kept client-side and used to access the first href with that name. So the server only sees the part up to the "#" character, which is probably an incomplete URL for it. Hence the loop or error.

I have bookmarked that thread in my own mission list.

And it uses some odd encoding which I have never seen anywhere else:

forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/12894-fan-mission-%2348-a-score-to-settle-by-springheel-20110701/

http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/12894-fan-mission-%2348-a-score-to-settle-by-springheel-20110701/

The # is replaced with %23. But the link still works!

However you can not even move on to another page in that thread.

 

Edit: Oh, that is actually standard URL encoding.

One bug that I'm seeing only when looking at the forums on my phone is that when you click on "New Content" each thread says that the last user whose posted is "Array" (as opposed to "Melan", "Bikerdude", etc).

But you should walk having internal dignity. Be a wonderful person who can dance pleasantly to the rhythm of the universe.

Me too, only on the phone version. It was doing the same thing on the main website when it first came back on line, but taaaki fixed the main site already.

Fan Mission #48: A Score to Settle, by Springheel (2011/07/01)

 

Can't click that link and go anywhere maybe because of the # sign? Anyone have issue loading that page?

 

 

I'm getting: "The page isn't redirecting properly."

 

 

Which is odd considering I found the thread in the New Content section after someone had posted in it. If it loaded for them, why wouldn't it load for anyone else.

Yeah, I'm getting the same problem.

 

Was able to use gnartsch's link to go in and edit the title, so it should work for everyone now. Not sure why it suddenly became a problem.

Attachments should work again. Also, I think I've resolved the 3 issues with the mobile version of the site (Full Version button didn't work, usernames on New Content view showing as "Array", and quotes not displaying correctly), but could someone please confirm for me.

I am the bat. The night is mine.

Thanks taaaki. I confirm all the mobile browser issues are now resolved for me (Android / Chrome).

Looks like the link in the top menu of the Forum to the Bugtracker is outdated.

It points to http://bugs.angua.at/ and produces the following:

 

The Dark Mod Bugtracker

The Dark Mod's Bugtracker is currently offline for maintenance. Please check back later to see if it is online again or contact greebo for details.

The outage should not last more than a couple of hours or so, expect it to be online again on 2011-01-30. To speed up things, you might try cleaning your DNS resolver cache by executing

ipconfig /flushdns

at your DOS command line. --greebo

The actual bugtracker is here:

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
