I don't think this is a bug, but I think I see an error... At the top of each top post, where it says the thread name and each page of the thread, (Like on this page, it says 'YWS 3.0 Bugs Goto page Previous 1, 2, 3, 4), is 'Goto' spelled like that on purpose? Or is it an accident?

This might not be a bug, but when I'm using the "Post a Reply" to post (rather than the quick response) If my text has gotten so long that I have a scroll bar and I hit the quote/bold/underline button it'll jump me up to the top of the text box, and I'll have to scroll all the way down again. Did that make sense?

Is there a bug or is there something wrong with my computer?

Teo - Nope. See here

Because a lot of the programs on this site were written by people whose native language is not English, there is a lot of incorrect grammar floating about.


So I guess it's actually supposed to be "Go to previous page."

Claudette - It does that to me too.

Well then what the heck is the problem!? Now I'm frustraited... I've given up with the buttons and just write the code out myself. At least its teaching me not to be lazy.

Same for me. I don't think it's a bug... I'm not sure what it is, but it doesn't take much longer to type the code out yourself. I actually prefer it sometimes, although you have to be careful you don't mess up the code.

Perhaps it's just my computer, but I just made a post, the one in which I quote Max McKali, and it somehow put my post...before Bob's and Max's? Um, what?

It's really weird. I tried deleting my post and reposting a new one, and it did the same thing...

And...on the view new posts thing, everything is in (what I assume is) a different time zone. I tried changing my time zone accordingly in my settings but no such luck....

EDIT: Nevermind, the sites having issues. I've figured that out now. XD Just took me a while...

Gar! I hope this is just my computer, but I went to post something in the welcome forum, and I got this message (using quick reply and) post reply:

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Darq reported the same problem, and I think it may just have been that the server got overloaded at that time. YWS has never experienced the level of activity that it had in the past two hours (more than one new post a minute), so I think it was just memory issues with the server. I'll have to note this for the future...

LOL! Aye, Matt, that's what happends when you edit in randomness or the lounge. But you gain points when you edit stuff in the literary forums/usergroups!

Nate: I hope that's all it was. I posted that message, and then went back to post in welcome again, and it wouldn't let me, that's what I thought was so weird. I couldn't in one forum only.

Oh yeah, I noticed that. Why does it add an extra name every new post? It's rather strange.

Not sure if this belongs here, but I can't seem to post any reply. The only reason I am posting this is because of the quick reply box.

I click on 'post reply' and the first half of the page up to 'advertise on YWS' shows up, but the entire text box where you write a reply doesn't show up.

EDIT: has been fixed

Thanks for the heads up WD! I'm fooling around with the group colors, and so that looks like it got messed up.


Also, the group colors do not work right now. I didn't like the old program used to display them, and the one I just installed I don't quite like either. So expect no group colors for a little bit!
