What's up with this thread ?
http://forums.eyesonff.com/showthrea...t=79861&page=2
All I can see is the first page and the first message on page 2. All the remaining 43 replies, including mine don't show up, and the layout looks ghastly! Is it just me ?
Ren
I think his signature messed up
Yes. If you look in the source, he has this in his signature:
The result of which is to comment out the rest of the page.Code:<!--<img src="http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f94/kingmatt86/RhianSig2.jpg" border="0" alt="" />
Just PMa mod/adminBoB and ask him to fix Lady Yunalesca's sig edit out.
Fixed.
You're not BoB! :aimmad:
I don't think that was my sig edit, but I think it's time for the Mods to stop using those comment out tags and just go for deleting the whole sig at all times because this sort of problem of members not removing the tags is increasing.
I've never commented out a sig before. I just delete them (not that I do a whole lot of sig policing.)
Back in The Day, if the sig was something especially elaborate in terms of source code, I'd copy/paste it into a text file so if someone whined about it, I could give them the code. Then I'd delete it. That's what I did for those 3-4 sigs I ever edited.
I still do that for every sig that I edit/remove, Dr Unne. I have a file full of editted/removed sigs that I have copy/pasted so I guess just plain old removing them instead of commenting them out is what I will do from now on. :)
Oh wow. I just delete them. I remember The Man got pretty mad about that one time. I also remember not losing much sleep over it!
My current file has 438 removed sigs and I have others saved from when I reformatted.
They don't pay you enough. :(Quote:

I'm with Leeza on this one.
HTML validation would be great, but the general consensus is "don't mess with the vB code directly because it makes support and upgrades take about 10 times as much work."
OOP?:D

It's mostly procedural, with a few parts (like the database layer) as classes.
Gaahhh... Hate/love OOP. Hate it when I have to debug it, since I learned procedural back in the days I went to College and I rip off half my hair to find my way around it ;) Love it because it makes so much more sense and is way more powerful than procedural.
