You're so ugly you broke the link!

(and just in case it isn't obvious, I'm joking)

[crono_logical]

That might quite likely be because on the old server, there was a drunne.jpg and drunne.JPG in the same folder, but since we're still in the dark ages of Windows, we couldn't back up both so randomly discarded one of them, which clearly was the wrong one I'll let BoB fix that by editing the webpage, rather than renaming the other file to uppercase extension myself

You people and your delegating

[Loony BoB]

You guys have no idea how often clout does this. Almost every single post that clout makes in the exDee forum (aka Senior Site Staff forum) is "oh, by the way, this needs fixing because I don't like the way it is. I mean, it's not bad, but it could be better. I don't like the way it's coded, even though it doesn't make any difference to how the page appears or anything. But I want you to do it instead of me, even though I'm perfectly capable and would probably do a far more efficient job." Bastardly heckler.

[crono_logical]

Fun, ain't it? It has the advantage that you download the page anyway, otherwise I'd be randomly editing things (absolute/relative URLs was my last suggestion before this, I think) and you'd have to keep downloading everything to work off Or do you download before working anyway? I don't know. Perhaps we need a more efficient way of doing this so every time someone changes something on the main site, everyone else knows, so everyone has the latest working version. CVS is probably too complicated for this. Maybe we should discuss it in xD

Now let's imagine what changing a lightbulb would take...

[Dr Unne]

Tell everyone to download a copy of any file they edit right before they edit it, and upload it when they're done. That's what I used to do when someone helped me with my website and we might accidentally be editing the same files.

[Shlup]

Wait. What? Am I supposed to do something?

[Peegee]

nah it's good..I think. I use IE so I can't be bothered to hear some faint yelping from some angry "firebird" users.

[Dr Unne]

Just please don't unfix it again in the future, now that it's fixed.

[Peegee]

When I was reading through this I was thinking to myself "Is Mandee just editing the local files and uploading it over the 'new' one?"

If that's the case, then 'unfixing' it might happen again.

[crono_logical]

I just renamed the file locally on the server. I guess Shlup had better redownload it to make sure her local copy on her Windows file system is using the correct case

[Shlup]

I don't update the index page at all; I don't know how the old index page got moved instead of the fixed version.

[Dr Unne]

If by "moved" you mean the server move, I'm pretty sure the album was broken for a long time before the server move too.

[Shlup]

That's wierd then. I haven't updated the index page since uploading the fixed version. Oh well, it shouldn't happen again.
