----------------------------------- andrew. Sun Feb 07, 2010 6:12 pm Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- For some reason, when I come to compsci.ca now, the site looks really weird. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2162996/Screen%20shot%202010-02-07%20at%206.10.20%20PM.png It didn't do this 5 minutes ago, so maybe the admins are fixing/tweaking something. I was just wondering if it was me, or if it looked like this for everyone. ----------------------------------- Alexmula Sun Feb 07, 2010 6:29 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- i bet its that huge title from one of the topics :lol: ----------------------------------- mother teresa Sun Feb 07, 2010 7:28 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- they might have just changed the website? ----------------------------------- Insectoid Sun Feb 07, 2010 7:49 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- I doubt it teresa, it would be very unwise to force side-scrolling. I agree with alexmula, probably that title. ----------------------------------- andrew. Sun Feb 07, 2010 8:10 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Yeah. That post is really weird. It's in Russian or something. ----------------------------------- Tony Sun Feb 07, 2010 8:31 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- fixed, by deleting the offending topic. It was some Russian spam anyway. ----------------------------------- DtY Sun Feb 07, 2010 10:38 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Since this topic is resolved, is there anything you can do about unicode support?

I have been on php forums that work with unicode, I know PunBB does. What forum software is compsci running? It looks like SMF, but maybe an old version? ----------------------------------- SNIPERDUDE Mon Feb 08, 2010 4:59 pm Re: RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Someone hide the vodka!

It was some Russian spam anyway. It wasn't that much of a spam but it should have been on another forum. BTW, I speak some russian. ----------------------------------- Insectoid Tue Feb 09, 2010 9:08 am RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Russian, with Russian characters, is spam even if it IS a legit compsci-related post. This is an English forum, and more than that, it is a Canadian forum, not international. If the admins can't read it, it's spam. ----------------------------------- SNIPERDUDE Tue Feb 09, 2010 10:44 am RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Hehe, one of the few Canadian places that sticks to one language. Damn political correctness. ----------------------------------- Zren Tue Feb 09, 2010 11:28 am RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Non non non, nous pouvons aussi parlons dans la francais, non? ----------------------------------- qmanjr5 Tue Feb 09, 2010 11:36 am RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- aha, I love this topic :P And why isn't French allowed on the forums? ----------------------------------- SNIPERDUDE Tue Feb 09, 2010 12:36 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Because (excluding Quebec) Canada (and notably Ontario where most of us seem to be based) is dominated by English speaking people who dropped French after grade 9. Just a theory. ----------------------------------- Turing_Gamer Tue Feb 09, 2010 12:38 pm Re: Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- That was why I replied in russian in the thread that most of us speak English so we can't understand you? That was before Tony did his thing. ----------------------------------- SNIPERDUDE Tue Feb 09, 2010 12:40 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- I had to use Google translate just to figure out the French comment. ----------------------------------- Turing_Gamer Tue Feb 09, 2010 12:45 pm Re: Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Tu ne parle pas francais?? C'est malhereux. ----------------------------------- Zren Tue Feb 09, 2010 1:09 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Hmmmmm... Maintenant je juste doite attendre si les moderateurs pouvons parler la francais. Si ils ne peuvent pas, je vas blasphemine tout les newbs. Je jeste. Je jeste. ----------------------------------- andrew. Tue Feb 09, 2010 2:59 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Ce debat a change de forme anglais vers le francais? Edit: Compsci.ca n'aime pas les caract?res non anglais.

Such a shame, it did start off as a decent topic. ----------------------------------- Zren Wed Feb 10, 2010 5:54 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- No no no, we were rather almost on topic. We were establishing which languages people can speak on these forums that require Unicode support. So far French and German suffer from this, whilst Gibberish seems okay to go. However I'm not sure about everyone's feelings on that, seeing as how most people frown on topics started in Gibberish. So all in all, my conclusion is that SniperDude's theory of an English only forum is correct. ----------------------------------- Insectoid Wed Feb 10, 2010 6:02 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- 'twas my theory. ----------------------------------- Zren Wed Feb 10, 2010 6:23 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Pardon me good sir. ----------------------------------- Insectoid Wed Feb 10, 2010 6:30 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Pardoned ----------------------------------- ProgrammingFun Wed Feb 10, 2010 6:59 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- English: Hello world!

In the context you put, NASDFE!!!! is typically spelled with just three exclamation points. These small differences could not only compromise the intended message, but also make yourself sound silly at formal dinner parties. ----------------------------------- Insectoid Thu Feb 11, 2010 12:26 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- It's a beautiful language, really. Too bad that it's being sullied by ignorants like USEC_OFFICER. It should be taught in schools instead of french. ----------------------------------- USEC_OFFICER Thu Feb 11, 2010 12:39 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Yes! Then my Gibberish will be perfect! But, what varitation of Gibberish to use? L33t Gibberish? Web Gibberish? French-German Gibberish? There are so many choices! ----------------------------------- Turing_Gamer Thu Feb 11, 2010 12:44 pm Re: Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Troll gibberish from warcraft!

Trolls actually do not speak Gibberish. Trolls do not have a language, and their myriad grunts and guttural sounds have no real meaning. ----------------------------------- SNIPERDUDE Thu Feb 11, 2010 4:43 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- ... and their myriad grunts and guttural sounds have no real meaning. And compare this to Gibberish? ----------------------------------- ProgrammingFun Thu Feb 11, 2010 4:55 pm Re: RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Close USEC_OFFICER, but your translation is a little off.

Compsci Glitches ->Russians ->unicode ->languages ->french ->german ->gibberish ->insectoids profile picture hes had on for at least 3 years *Squashis bug on monitor* Irony lol ->Warhammer ->What next? (CURSE THE ? it really is supposed to be a question mark...) That sums it up right ----------------------------------- SNIPERDUDE Thu Feb 18, 2010 7:50 am RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Not really. For me right above people's posts in the header (in the same header that says the Post Subject) the time doesn't show up.

Warhammer is what's called a real hobby. Something you put time and effort into and then feel proud when you know you've done a great job. A much better use for money and time than video games. I've got hundreds of minis worth thousands of dollars. And they were worth every penny. ----------------------------------- USEC_OFFICER Thu Feb 18, 2010 1:03 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Yes, there is nnothing better than crushing your enemies with beatiful hand-painted figures that you painted. (Nothing worse that seeing it destroyed.) ----------------------------------- BigBear Thu Feb 18, 2010 8:29 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Warhammer is actually cheaper than most hobbies especially typical gamer hobbies. I am thinking about magic the gathering which requires constant update of cards. Warhammer you make it all yourself and as for time time spent on something you like doing is always worth it, unless you are doing it for the wrong reasons. ----------------------------------- USEC_OFFICER Thu Feb 18, 2010 10:29 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Agreed. ----------------------------------- Turing_Gamer Fri Feb 19, 2010 8:24 am Re: Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- TEST! EDIT: No SNIPERDUDE, it is just you. worked perfectly fine to me. ----------------------------------- USEC_OFFICER Fri Feb 19, 2010 12:43 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Two things: First: What was that about? TEST!???? Second: We were talking about warhammer and how I forgot my second point. ----------------------------------- SNIPERDUDE Fri Feb 19, 2010 1:33 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Hmm, I should talk to a mod or something, every single post I see has always been date-free like that. ----------------------------------- USEC_OFFICER Fri Feb 19, 2010 4:06 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- I was going to say something full of data about France, but I hit a wrong button. (Plus I'm lazy) ----------------------------------- SNIPERDUDE Fri Feb 19, 2010 5:03 pm Re: Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- There's a great Firefox addon called Lazarus that auto-saves what you type into forms. So if anything ever happens, you just need to rigth click in the form again when you load the page and have the option to put it back in. ----------------------------------- Dan Sat Feb 20, 2010 3:59 pm Re: RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Hmm, I should talk to a mod or something, every single post I see has always been date-free like that. What browsers and OS are you using? I can't seem to reproduce the bug. Edit: Screen shots would help too and as would a list of plugins you are using in your browser. ----------------------------------- USEC_OFFICER Sat Feb 20, 2010 6:45 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Lazarus sounds great. Plus since my computer switched to Windows 7, Internet Explorer hasn't been working as well. I might just switch to Firefox. ----------------------------------- SNIPERDUDE Sat Feb 20, 2010 10:32 pm Re: Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Windows 7 (also had the same thing when I was on XP), & Firefox. I also opened the site on Chrome, and the times actually showed up. Then I signed in - disapeared as per usual. It seems to be something about my account. As the error showed up on Chrome too (when signed in) I'm not going to bother to list all my addons and greasemonkey scripts. Is there some setting that isn't working right? http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/9375/screencv.png ----------------------------------- andrew. Sun Feb 21, 2010 10:18 am RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- That's weird. Also, why are the colours like that. All the posts look the same colour to me. ----------------------------------- DemonWasp Sun Feb 21, 2010 11:12 am RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- @andrew: As it is, posts alternate between two very similar colours (if you're on a CRT you probably won't be able to tell; find a good LCD and the difference is visible). He's probably using GreaseMonkey (see the monkey head in the lower right) to apply a different style to the alternate posts. ----------------------------------- andrew. Sun Feb 21, 2010 11:43 am RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Strange. I'm on my MacBook Pro on 10.6, but I only notice a very slight difference in colour if I look hard. ----------------------------------- Dan Sun Feb 21, 2010 12:02 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- The color is due to using a different style (see the style drop down at the bottom of the site) however for me using IceCat on Linux the style still shows the time of the post. I suspect that there is something wrong with the date format you selected in your account settings, i will look into it. Update: It looks like you have a date format selected ("February 21st 2010") that does not have a time and just the date. To fix this, go to your "user control panel", select "Profile Settings" and change your date format to something with a time like "February 21st 2010, 4:02 am". ----------------------------------- USEC_OFFICER Sun Feb 21, 2010 4:40 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Err, how do you change the time? Cause mine is about 8 hours off. Besides the changing the time zones I mean ----------------------------------- SNIPERDUDE Sun Feb 21, 2010 7:42 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- Thanks, changing the setting worked. Seems putting the 'at' is just a grammatical mistake on the forum's part (no check included?). For the alternating colours I'm using the "subEmjay" theme the site has. If you scroll to the very bottom of the page (should work on any page here) you will find a combobox with different themes available. ----------------------------------- andrew. Sun Feb 21, 2010 9:03 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- I like the original subGrey the best. The other ones have too much contrast and it hurts my eyes. ----------------------------------- USEC_OFFICER Sun Feb 21, 2010 9:34 pm RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- For some reason the time thing worked itself out on its own. Thanks for all the help. (Sarcasm for those who think I have too much in my voice already.) PS subGrey seems the less vomit inducing in my eyes. (Can't spell) ----------------------------------- Insectoid Mon Feb 22, 2010 12:10 am RE:Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- I don't like subgray, it reminds me how dirty my monitor is. I use it anyway. ----------------------------------- Turing_Gamer Mon Feb 22, 2010 8:26 am Re: Compsci.ca Glitch? ----------------------------------- I don't mind at all.
