(The Lounge and a case of mistaken color) I had just gone back the Lounge front page after posting a post, and...my god...I...I can't describe it...look for yourself: That's not right. Any ideas on why this happened? It doesn't seem to be happening now, but I have heard in another OpenTopic started thread that it's happened to others. I shall continue to surf and watch. -=Dustball Edit: Here's the post I speak of: Ral: Uh, is that just me, or does a refresh, also recolour all the threads? posted May 03, 2001 20:39
Leaping Gnome Wise, Aged Ars Veteran et Benefactor From: Baltimore Registered: December 01, 2000 Posts: 1527	hmmm, maybe threads you have read vs ones you haven't? EDIT: Oh, and thanks for messing up the tables with that big ass image EDIT #2: Did you notice the code at the top? quote: \|\|spacing="0" width="95%"> posted May 03, 2001 20:47
Dustball Wise, Aged Ars Veteran From: <---- My TRIBUS is The Broom Closet, next to the mop. Registered: October 06, 2000 Posts: 3336	Happened again. -=Dustball posted May 03, 2001 20:48
Dustball Wise, Aged Ars Veteran From: <---- My TRIBUS is The Broom Closet, next to the mop. Registered: October 06, 2000 Posts: 3336	Notice the HTML code in the upper left? Notice there is no white background, and the table is not centered like usual? Bad things afoot. -=Dustball posted May 03, 2001 20:52

Leaping Gnome Wise, Aged Ars Veteran et Benefactor From: Baltimore Registered: December 01, 2000 Posts: 1527	BlackHex, I read that thread a few days ago and it seemed like there was still a lot of bugs and limitations to that front-end. I'll check it out again tomorrow when I have nothing to do at work. posted May 03, 2001 21:19
Dustball Wise, Aged Ars Veteran From: <---- My TRIBUS is The Broom Closet, next to the mop. Registered: October 06, 2000 Posts: 3336	Could we get back on topic, here? I just edited a post in the lounge and it happened on the edit page. I also saw some cookie code appear and then disappear when I loaded the page. -=Dustball posted May 03, 2001 21:22
Ral Wise, Aged Ars Veteran From: Leiden, The Netherlands Registered: February 29, 2000 Posts: 308	Did it to me again. Not a refresh though, but just a random page-visit. Same code at the top, but my unread threads are lightblue instead of green. ps. Time to go to bed. Tried clicking File in the picture 3 times before I noticed it was in the picture instead of in Photo Editor. posted May 03, 2001 21:23
BlackHex Ars Centurion et Benefactor From: A big bowl of Nurofen (aka Manchester, England) Registered: February 10, 2000 Posts: 860	soz Dustball - I just came from the browser thread where everyone was thinking that this was a bug with that. Clearly this is a much more major problem.... if anyone sees this problem again I'll bet the OpenTopic guys would be gratefull if saved a copy of the source code for them ... it's mighty hard to debug code when you only have the output to work with.... posted May 03, 2001 21:41
Ral Wise, Aged Ars Veteran From: Leiden, The Netherlands Registered: February 29, 2000 Posts: 308	Done. Ready to mail if wanted. But I think refreshing the list of threads in OpenTopic Feedback&suggestions should generate the same result for everyone. Anyone care to try? [edit] ok, so maybe you'll have to refresh a couple of times. posted May 03, 2001 21:45
MrMills Ars Praetorian From: \\Canada\Alberta\Calgary Registered: February 21, 1999 Posts: 1391	Yes, I've seen that as well. posted May 03, 2001 21:45
Ral Wise, Aged Ars Veteran From: Leiden, The Netherlands Registered: February 29, 2000 Posts: 308	Ok, it's definately refresh. Look at this: I have the source code for that one as well, but as before I think everyone should be able to reproduce this by refreshing this page. posted May 03, 2001 21:53

Leaping Gnome Wise, Aged Ars Veteran et Benefactor From: Baltimore Registered: December 01, 2000 Posts: 1527	Maybe it's an OS issue? I'm on WindowsME with no problems. posted May 03, 2001 22:46
Ral Wise, Aged Ars Veteran From: Leiden, The Netherlands Registered: February 29, 2000 Posts: 308	Windows98 SE, 4.10.2222 A Above mentioned version of IE: trouble. Netscape 6./6.01 doesn't seem to have this problem. Or at least not yet, hope they're not gonna follow Bill on this one :P Opera 5.02 build 856A does have problems (ok, doesn't need this forum to have problems). No weird colouring or code-showing here, but it gives this nifty error message when reloading sometimes: Problem encountered while decoding data. Possibly due to corrupted data. posted May 03, 2001 22:58
Leaping Gnome Wise, Aged Ars Veteran et Benefactor From: Baltimore Registered: December 01, 2000 Posts: 1527	Ral, what the hell are you doing still on IE 4? I guess it'd be understandable if you were on Win95 or something with a P90. posted May 03, 2001 23:01

MrMills Ars Praetorian From: \\Canada\Alberta\Calgary Registered: February 21, 1999 Posts: 1391	Just got it, on OT F&S. Win2k pre-SP1 w/IE 5.5 SP1. [Edit: removed picture. GeoCities isn't being as generous these days I guess. Anyway, it's pretty much what you've seen before.] Here was the source code for the page: http://www.geocities.com/softwaremills/misc/BadForum.txt As you can see, it simply didn't transfer the first bit of source code for the page, oddly enough. By the way, I think you could trim that source down a wee bit. posted May 03, 2001 23:14
Leaping Gnome Wise, Aged Ars Veteran et Benefactor From: Baltimore Registered: December 01, 2000 Posts: 1527	Mills, you .gif link doesn't work (geocities) Your source code link takes you to your screenshot, intentional? posted May 03, 2001 23:17
MrMills Ars Praetorian From: \\Canada\Alberta\Calgary Registered: February 21, 1999 Posts: 1391	No, IE just renders it as if it was HTML (and it is). It doesn't do it justice, of course; most of the images are missing. Just do View Source on it and you'll see what I mean. posted May 03, 2001 23:18
Leaping Gnome Wise, Aged Ars Veteran et Benefactor From: Baltimore Registered: December 01, 2000 Posts: 1527	My mistake, I just thought about doing view source and came back here to check and saw your post! posted May 03, 2001 23:19
