Patchday

Posted January 11th, 2008 by pulsar

Hey There!

I'll be updating various backend modules today. The updates are either bugfixes or security related, so don't expect any news features. Just let me know if you spot anything awkward on the site.

Thanks!
Paul.

Not sure if this is related to your latest update but certainly when I looked last week, using Firefox, the right hand menu was actually at the bottom of the page on the left. Now it all looks good :)

Layout Issues

Not related. It is caused by the table-less design used on this page. If an image in the content gets too wide for your display, it will cause the sidebar to jump below the content. Not pretty, I know. Right now scott posted a pretty big picture on the front page, this is causing this issues for some people.

Cheers!
Paul.


Oh, sure, blame it on scott (DAMN HIM)

Tableless Design

It's basically achieved by using DIV elements for the three panes on this page. Take a look over here:

I noticed that in our menue on the left, there are two,"My crack hits" links, the one that is not capitalized works, the other one doesn't. Thanks for all your genius. Things on this site are really getting put together.

Fixed

You make me blush :)  

Thanks for pointing that menu issue out. Should be fixed by now, it was some pretty strange caching issue.

Cheers!
Paul.


oh wow

Seems so. The last "User Points" aka Crack Hits update did not only mess up with the menu, bring a new overview feature but also fixed that old nasty bug.

Cheers!
Paul.


Well done, ol' chap!

No jokes. You work so much magic on this site and keep up damn dirty junkies at bay. We all really appreciate it. Thank you! *~* My thoughts this week: I'm going to fail my exams this month... Proved by starting the week with a D.. In maths. Mathematics! This is someone who rarely gets below 90% in maths. Not good.

i hope so..

Although, the notification box at the top of the page doesn't come up when you make a post either... And I hope we're still getting crack hits even though we're not being told. *~* My thoughts this week: I'm going to fail my exams this month... Proved by starting the week with a D.. In maths.

Holy crack on a cracker!

The fixed "My crack hits" link really shows the accumulation of user specific crack hits now! *squee* ___________________ $DO || ! $DO ; try try: command not found

well it's either that or the crack hit appeared out of thin air.

Thanks for the heads up, Paul! I haven't seen anything weird on the site since that kernel update you did several patches ago. Not sure how much props you're given but you've got his site humming. Thanks for all your work!! ___________________ $DO || ! $DO ; try try: command not found

Thanks :)

Well, my work seems to be very appreciated over here. Its rather uncommon to be credited for tasks like this. I started my career several years ago with system administration so I was already used not to be credited for anything, but blamed if something does not work properly :)

So again, all the feedback I am getting here is just awesome, glad I can contrubte something!

Cheers!
Paul.
