Post counts don't seem to be counting up.

I noticed new user Decoy is stuck on one post.
(and he is also in Admin group)

Jim

Edit. IT might just be him, mine seems to count up OK.

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear enough.

If you go to poida thread, then click on

Part 28: Gate drive on Madness's power board. This uses on board transistor totem pole drive

It just goes to page 1 where it should go to page 31.


It may be that's it incompatible with your changeover and if that's the case so be it. I thought I'd bring it to your attention

Cheers

Yeah I just tested the top couple of links and they worked.

Edited the post, should be OK now.

Yes, good now

BTW, this has been a very smooth transition to new forum software, well done.



Is this an appropriate place to suggest a feature?

Cheers

Think I've fixed the bug where members post count wasn't incrementing, and they were upgraded to Admin.

Mind you, I thought I had fixed that bug before, twice.

Backslash oddities:


The forum is having problems with the backslash.

Using double backslash
dd(0)=encodeDigit(d(0)\1000)
dd(1)=encodeDigit(d(1)\100)
dd(2)=encodeDigit(d(2)\10)

Using single backslash
dd(0)=encodeDigit(d(0)1000)
dd(1)=encodeDigit(d(1)100)
dd(2)=encodeDigit(d(2)10)


It works OK in the preview but not when saving the post.
It causes problems when the backslash is used in code

That backslash is proving difficult to deal with. Its used as a escape character, and the next character is what's escaped. If you put a space between them, its fine.

In that example, are you using the \ as a divide symbol?

Yes the backslash is an integer divide.

  Quote  test = fred \ barney

' MMEdit survives the backslash

test = fred \\ barney

' but that won't help normal code postings.


In MMEdit formatted posts, the backslash is replaced with & # 92 ; (without the spaces) until I try to edit my post then the backslash problem returns.

If I try and edit the above post, the single backslash will disappear.

You are right, it looks tricky!

Frig!

Because php and javascript use the back slash as a escape characters, its very difficult to separate it out. All the suggested code I've tested fails. Even chr(92) fails to find it. See the posted data is full of \'s, all doing different things. Php has a command called addslashes(), which replaces a single backslash with a double, but not if there is a character after the backslash, it sees that as a escape character combination.

Leave it with me.

OK, try this...

dd(0)=encodeDigit(d(0)\1000)
dd(1)=encodeDigit(d(1)\100)
dd(2)=encodeDigit(d(2)\10)

On save, some javascript converts the single \ to doubles, before PHP gets its greasy fingers on it and tries to treat it as a weird escape character.

Looks good

I will see if I can break it for you

Yeah see how it goes. You can see the javascript change the \'s when you click the save button. I noticed email notifications are sending a \\ instead of the intended \, so I'll look into that.

Speaking of email notifications, I need to speed up that process. The delay when you save a post if the forum sending the individual email notifications. Not a big issue, but I'll look into it.
