I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but this thread has so many posts, I really don't have the time to read everey single one ;)
The bug I would like to report is here in the forum. When I click on Account I get a lot of bugmessages. I made you two screens so you can see the massages for yourself, so you know where the bugs are. Seems there are some variables and arguments missing or not defined.
i can't type an "@" into the shoutboxes under a snapshot (tested with Firefox and Chrome). need to use copy & paste from an other program (mircosoft word).
turn off "show unsolved only" and it will work correctly, also recognized this failure a long time ago, i think it happens randomly or at least i couldn't mark a system for it yet
not really sure how to put this, but I'm beginning to doubt if you see all the shots when you scroll though them using the arrow keys. Some shots that are in the archive (as viewed via the day overview) don't appear in my shot by shot view. For example, I didn't see http://whatthemovie.com/shot/228715,http://whatthemovie.com/shot/228741,http://whatthemovie.com/shot/228620 and http://whatthemovie.com/shot/228553 when going through the shots with the arrow keys. I usually work my way backwards starting from the latest shots, always have "show unsolved only" enabled, but the shots above are shots i didn't solve. A I said, i'm not really sure about this, anybody else been having the same "problems"?
@forerunner I think your problem is a very old bug, not related to the arrow navigation. The "show unsolved only" always had this buggy behaviour, including sometimes strange jumps to hidden parts of WTM (the deleted shots zone).
hm, thanks for the answer. I'll try playing without the button checked then. Would be nice of someone could fix the bug though. Can imagine it not being on top of the to do list though.
Got the same problem like Keyser_Soze, but I noticed it only appears that it opens in June when the random picked shot is one from June. When the shot is from July, the overview opens in July.
Since most users want to get fast to the daily FF, in my opinion it should always open on the certain date which we have at the day.
Archive shots *are* shots that are *not* in FF any longer: shots that are more than 30 days old.
To me, this link should take you to a random Archive shot, just like the Feature Films link takes you to a random FF shot... *or* the Feature Films link should take us to a random day overview within FF (and we keep the Quiz link to a random FF shot).
I was always using QUIZ >THE ARCHIVE when I wanted to see the latest FF overview... I understand what archive shots are but that wasn't the case here
I think that Feature Films link should take us to a last overview, not a random one and than we can choose some other date...that would replace feature The Archive had till now, and The Archive can take us to a random archive shot or a last overview (shots that just exceeded 30 days mark)
EDIT: It says The Archive at the top and it's today's FF overview
great work! i also worried about the strange linking but i rarely use those buttons :D
today i just recognized that on the mainpage the sotd banner aren't displayed at the shots in "Your Feature Films" (right under "Your New Submissions"). i don't know if its meant to be that way but afair you (kinoute) wanted the banner at each thumb, don't you? just wanted you to know :)
Using the arrow to navigate the shots has been giving me a weird error lately. If i start at the last shot, and work my way backwards, the second shot won't allow arrow navigation. After I click next and start again with the 3rd shot everything is normal. Second shot won't work though.
Please pardon me if this minor mistake has been mentioned already, but it would be a tad too time-consuming to search the entire thread at this late hour. :3
Every single film entry on WTM has several tabs, one of which is called 'Characters'. When one clicks on that tab, one sees the following description:
"A list of the main charactes from [insert film title here]. You can write a short Description of your favourite Characters or upload some cool Stills."
The word 'characters' is misspelled in the first sentence: the second 'r' is missing.
Also, if you don't mind me saying, it seems quite inconsistent to at first write 'characters' without a capital, and then later with a capital. Either both should be capitalised, or not capitalised - but not one while the other isn't. I am anyway unclear as to why 'characters' is written with a capital once, as well as the words 'description' and 'stills'. What is the point of that? Strictly grammatically speaking, it isn't proper English. Is it for aesthetic purposes? Or is it a so-called "germanism" that has accidentally been applied by one of the German creators of this website (since I seem to recall that one of the creators hails from Germany), since in the German language nouns are always capitalised (but not in English)?
Finally, every single film entry here on WTM also has a tab called 'Reviews'. Not every film has reviews available in that tab, in which case the following sentence appears: "No found." That is incorrect English, it should be "none found". Some might even suggest "not found", but "none found" is better, since it refers to 'reviews', which is plural.
Okay, that is all that I have managed to find so far. Thank you for taking the time to read this. :3
there is no option for croatian language when creating a new movie page. I understand there are not many croatian movies, but I imagine it is not a difficult task to add it.
I had a problem with the arrow keys navigation on the "Asmodai tough serie" I was on the first one then (after pushing the right arrow key) I was on the third and then I was on fabrizio's shot (with the sea).
It jumped over the 2nd and then over the 4th,5th and 6th.
Ooops ! Yeah you're right (of course, you posted it).
In this case, I saw the first one, it jumped over the 2nd, I saw the third one and then it jumped over the next two (4th and 5th) and I saw fabrizio's one.
well....THATS the answer i was asking for... thx to MisterZob! like i said days before...information is the key..."we couldn't do anything at the moment" and the reason why is much better then just saying nothing...
i am the only one who get sometimes an empty white page after pressing anything like to get another shot, seeing my or other profile, enter new submission oder FF, navigate with arrow keys etc. ? happens to me since yesterday
my record is 8 times in a row white screen, i fear i need soon a new keyboard because F5 :)
new error, maybe same problem: if you enter a capture (while uploading a shot) there happen sometimes nothing, very annoying because you never know is the side is just slow or the error happen again... occurs even if you enter a solution for a shot, often you get just nothing (not the red cross and not green mark)
