I know this might not be the place to place this topic, but for some odd reason I can't post new topics in the forum section of site bugs ¬_¬

okay, when I press the download icon on any full game it directs me directly to the main site screen :what:

and yes, it won't let me download games ¬_¬

well I hope you mates didn't do anything wicked to the site in the past few weeks/days :annoyed:


anyway I will be glad to know if this problem is getting fixed and if someone else gets the same problem so here is the place to raise your hands and worship me :praise: yep just like that! :thumbs:

hhhh thanks mates for your time and help ;)

I dunno if this is related, but the Message Board page ID changed from '32' to 'bb' and some other pages got names. Also links in the News section are now broken. I understand why the pages were given names instead of numbers, but it may be handy to have the old ones working as well.

That's supposed to be like that. The forum is archived. (You see how it's in a category called archived forums?)

It got archived when we created the bug tracker as it was no longer useful.

A lot of the modules have changed ID. Some of them needed to go through the installation process again, changing the numeric ID. This was forseen as a problem a long time ago and so the named ID thing was put in instead. Getting modules by ID number does still work, bb is ID 54 now for instance.

The modules in question include the BB and galleries. They just need to be relinked wherever it is broken.

Ok that's fixed.

There was no bug - what you saw was a weather balloon.

Did those numbers have to be changed? All external links to posts here don't work anymore now. :(

Frim's hacking the database up as we speak to attempt to reverse it. For the message board anyway.

[edit]

There, we'll see if it worked correctly or not in the long term i guess.

Could that please also be done for the game galleries? There is at least one external link on some blog that made Guru logic champs get over 800 downloads, and more importantly there are a lot of search engine results now dysfunctional (which will probably co-exist with re-indexed games for a while).

the rather nice "please login to post" links at the bottom of a topic don't work.

The worklog ones do though :)

Note to self - templates do not need escaping.

I've put all the module ids back to what they were previously. I'll try to weed out all the places where the module id number is being used rather than the module name. If we need to reinstall the modules in future, that should help to minimise the broken links.
