Cool now when do i get to be an admin?  

[Tim_C]

brought this baby back on topic, so sorry to those who lost 5 posts

[alexrolko]

Man Tim your strict!! jeeez al least you'd make a good judge.

[Tim_C]

for those who javascripting and want it to be validated:

this is incorrect

<!-- hide this stuff
document.write('<p>hello world</p>')
// stop hiding -->

this is the way to do it:

<!-- hide this stuff
document.write('<p>hello world<\/p>')
// stop hiding -->

I don't know why, but hey it has got to have somekind of reason. that little slash took me 2 hours to find :-/

I'm using Netscape 6 at the moment (just to see if everything works -- I usually use IE). The width of the "Start+New+Thred" and "Post Reply" screens is too large -- as it is in YaBB Gold. It's probably running off the screen at lower resolutions. The main index page seemed fine, though. Also, some of the main action buttons run off the screen from time to time -- hitting 'refresh' fixes it.

No posts on "Page 2" of this thread, either, even though a page 2 was displayed. Also, when I went to preview this very post, I saw strange characters where I think I used parenthesis and/or quotes. And I lost all my data when I went to edit the post again.

Um ... so where did the post go? I can see it here in the "topic summary."

[Patty]

I, um, guess this is a small bug in the thread? No posts on page 2, but they appear on the first page.  The thing is: when the post was the most current on the index page, clicking through brought you to the blank "page 2."

I think the reply count isn't lowered when deleting posts

my bad - on post deletions the message count wasn't being updated.

like I said

A common error (and the most common source of erroneous bug reports for the WDG HTML Validator) occurs when writing HTML tags within a SCRIPT element:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
  // This is an error!
  document.write("</P>");
// -->
</script>Technically, the first occurrence of "</" followed by any letter is considered the end tag for the SCRIPT element. While browsers are forgiving in this, authors should avoid using strings such as "</P>" in their embedded scripts. JavaScript allows authors to use a backslash to avoid ending the SCRIPT element prematurely:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
  document.write("<\/P>");
// -->
</script>

ie, the first slash is escaping the second one.
