Website - Report Any Errors

Recommended Posts

Got a reply that the server hardware is having technical issues and they have ordered a new server to come online on Sunday. There might be down time on the site while they move everything over but i'll find out 24 hours before and let everyone know if there is.

getting this message when I try to post in some forums..

 

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /forum/posting.php on this server.

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

 

Ironically I got it when trying to post in the wed developement skills thread.

Phobs dearest. Can you please make it so that when I click on a link it doesn't take me away from this website. Clicking on links should never redirect from the website IMO.

No, as in any youtube, review link, what ever, that is not related to this website directly redirects you away from this website when you click it. It does not open the link in a new tab, it directs you away from the site completely. I am a firm believer that you should never redirect anyone away from your website because of an external link.

Weird i didn't notice this behavior. I've made it so links do open new windows now.

 

Sadly it wont affect existing links, only new ones.

 

Edit: Also the error Nev has been resolved. It's another rogue security error on the hosts side now white listed.

Yeah, I'm very big on the middle mouse or using Ctrl + click, so I never notice. I'm guessing that isn't an easy feature to just turn on in the settings though, which could mean a bit of work.

 

Edit: sounds like a fair change, and I do understand the reason but I wasn't going to request it of Phoby if it wasn't simple to do. He's a volunteer like the rest of us, so I hesitate to ask someone to do something without knowing how much effort is involved first.

Wow, my old clannies used to just give me a list. "I need this done, develop this, change over this thing, make this work, this idea needs to be added, oh and you have 30 mins to do it all KGO". But I knew it was simple enough, most of these base CMS systems have linking as an easy enough changeable global feature.

No issue at all. I've got some more time free now so doing things isn't any issue.

 

Sadly this fix wasn't a simple tick box. Had to edit a few config files because phpbb decided they would change the behavior of links to become XHTML verified. Go figure..

Yeah, fair enough and obviously the case. We try to do less demanding and more discussion when it comes to jobs people do as it generally works out better in the long run. And it usually means we learn something in the process also, as I just have.

 

And thanks as always Phoby.
