Small Bug?

Enygma · 23-08-2001 12:55pm #1

Just noticed a tiny itty bitty bug on boards.ie
When you look at someones profile their status is not using the same scheme. i.e someone who's a Cool Newbie is listed as a Junior member.

Also you know the 10 last posts on the frontpage? What would you guys think of making the boardname that a post is on a link to the board? I keep finding myself trying to click on them. (I'm a slooooow learner

Actually there is some kind of memory leak on the drop down menus. If you keep switching pages before the menu disappears (by pressing back button) your browser will crash after a few pages.

I've reproduced this on a couple of machines now.

You'd wanna be fairly fast there Hobbes

I've never had any trouble with the Menus though, except on Mozilla where it just doesn't work.

Does anyone else find themselves refreshing the boards every 3 mins when you've nothing better to do, and then responding to all new topics, even if you havent a clue? Or I am I just trying to avoid studying for Saturday?

Its a well known phenomena.

Its called ABS syndrome (Anything But Study). There was a huge outbreak of it in UL about a year ago. (Osiris was particularly afflicted).

If not treated it can develop into ABW syndrome (Anything But Work).

I'm now a part-time barman- being a cheeky bas7ard and ignoring "minor problems" are all part of the job

Yea having to wait while IE creates a core dump and crashes all your open IE windows is pretty minor.

Enygma · 23-08-2001 4:29pm

Well to be honest my one was really minor. I've been fixing bugs like it all week, I think I may have caught something off one of the testers or something

(My God it's contagious!)

Hobbes is that on Macs or have you replicated it on PC's too?

I was talking about Enygma's "bugs", Hobbes, not yours. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

No worries

Enygma, that's only on IE for PC. Mac doesn't have the issue and I have the javascript disabled on Konqueror as I find the drop down menu annoying to begin with.
