I’ve spent the day working on several minor aesthetic changes to Vampire Rave. One of which was a small bug in the profile section. I’ll try and explain this as best I can, as most of you don’t understand HTML.
HTML uses a series of tags which tells a browser how to display text. One of these tags is
. This tag means line break and it tells the browser to start printing at a new line.
Well, I had line breaks (carriage returns) converting automatically into
tags. This was done to make it easier on users who didn’t know HTML. Just hit return in your description and
tags would be inserted behind the scenes.
Well, to make a long technical story short, the reverse wasn’t happening.
tags weren’t being converted back to line breaks. Now they are.
Some of you may have noticed that the quizzes you’ve been pasting into your profiles weren’t displaying exactly right. They will now. But you may have to go back and copy the original code and paste it into your VR profile.
awesome, hey. what about the bug that logs me out? like, i will be working on my profile for some time (maybe an hour or so) and i will go to save changes and it will say i have to be logged in. but i was logged in, or how could i edit my profile if i wasnt? and it will take me to the log in screen and i will have to redo everything i just did. it gets annoying some times.
That's not a bug, it's a security measure. You will sometimes be logged out automatically. It's done to prevent someone from hijacking your session. If that happened to you and someone took control of your account and changed your password, I think you'd be more upset than the occasional annoyance of automatic log out.
You should always compose major items (forum posts, profile changes, etc) outside of VR... Then copy and paste them in when you are done.
As Ive said in my profile, Im technologically retarded and dont really understand that, but thankyou anyway!
Oh I see, well I use the public computers at university most of the time, so its nice to know that something like that is in place. x
oooh, got ya. thanks XDD ya, i supose it woud be worse if someone got a hold of this account XDD anyway, keep up the awesome work! *claps*
