Marlowe Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 ...But a lot of members are finding it hard to follow threads whenever Rob15 posts. I have no idea what happens, but for some reason he'll post something and then the ensuing few posts will vanish, with some odd seperate post appearing TO THE RIGHT of his own. All I can possibly think is that it's something about his signature which messes it up, or it's some random bug which affects only Rob. Anyone got any idea how to fix it?

gazchap Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 (edited) I've alerted Rob15 to the problem, and as I understand it he has PM'd Arnie about it in the hope that he can fix it. The problem is that for some reason the forum software has put a buggered HTML comment in his signature which doesn't get closed, and that means that the web browser thinks that everything else that follows is still a part of the same comment and therefore it doesn't display it. The only solution until Arnie sorts it out is to go into your Control Panel and turn off the display of signatures. //edit: I should add that Rob15 has tried everything he can to sort it out Edited May 2, 2005 by gazchap Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oikoik Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 how about he delete his signature for the time being and see if it still happens? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gazchap Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 how about he delete his signature for the time being and see if it still happens? I think he has already tried that and it didn't seem to make any difference. I could have misunderstood what he told me in a PM though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
R22Master Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 There is a shed-load of html-code in Rob's signature. I have spoken with him about it, but neither he, nor the moderators have the ability to fix it, as the same code that is screwing up the pages are also screwing up the settings screen. I have reported this post to Arnie as important, but he is a very busy chap at the moment. He will most likely have to alter the database manually to fix this so it may take a little while. However, this problem does NOT affect Internet Explorer Browesrs, so you will not notice a problem unless you are using Firefox or some other browsers that use the same display coding as Firefox. Motto: Upgrading your browser is all well and good, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it IE has always worked nicely for me and the new versions are pretty darned good.

Siciro Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 I am using Opera and am having no problems viewing rob's posts or any following them. I say firefox is part of the problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, definitely. I'm not holding out any hopes for IE7 either. They claim to have put in full standard-compliant CSS2 and even support for 24-bit PNGs with transparency. I bet they screw it up though just so that designers have to design for THEIR browser. Grrr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Fixed now from afar He seemed to have pasted half of a webpage in his signature which was all parsed into BBCode (html is banned in sigs) and then caused issues for Firefox. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
