Too bad Jotun is terrible. :P

You're cute. Removing the button doesn't remove the functionality. I remember when i worked at the nursing home, we had this mandatory monthly training. So, they realized everyone was skipping thoruhg the lessons they've heard over 5 times (lessons rotated throughout the year) and went straight to the tests. So, they removed the skip buttons, just like you would suggest. I decided to use the tab key to find it (it was a web application, like these forums), anyway. In the process, i also found alot of debugging controls, too. Best part was, i even told them, too, hidden amoung my criticism of the content itself (information a google away). If you want to see for yourself, here they are. I'm pretty sure it's them, as they have the same name as the company we went through.

You might then say, "remove the button's code." To this i say, "the scripts don't use the button's code, but the code that recieves the message that the button was clicked." You might say "remove that, then" to which i say "you gotta find it, first." Try this. Go grab gogrepo, and disable the code that allocates the storage for your download, so it goes to downloading immediately. Then, start a download, cancel it with a simulated power outage (a normal event), then try to get the thing to work again. I have the solution, as the situation happened to me today. Sounds easy, right? Should be easier to find a random feature of a small program like gogrepo than it is to find this code in a site absolutely full of everything from downloading the games, uploading the games, the forums, profiles, news announcements, moderator tools, etc.

Note: nothing against gogrepo but it's an excellent example.

I did something like that once (i did'nt have a public list, though), then realized people wanted to be on it to be part of a club. Oddly enough, some people actually feared being on it, which enabled me in that regard. But, back then, i was like 12.

Ok, pardon me, but this is the petty crap that really deserves a looking at. No one honestly believes in Rule 16, and anyone who's really taken Rule 34 to task knows that THAT isn't true, either.

But, hey, let's discuss this! So, we're worried about favoring one sex, right? Well, let's look at the "our mother in heaven" thing we see in churches. See, God is actually described as being neither male nor female (common misconception, i know, but I could pull out some passages). Meanwhile, we refer to Him as "He" and "Him." Why is this? Well, because "It" carries very demeaning connotations, and "She" and "Her" are not the vernacular, because the practice predates women's rights. "They" and "Them" is too impersonal (and plural), which is what we normally use, today. Do we have a female equivalent for "guy"? Technically, no, but we do say "hey guys." Feel free, when criticizing, to propose your own alternative. But, hey, i'll go ahead and fix it to what women call each other when they don't want to say "guys." Do you like my suggestion?

Assembly programers, machine code programmers. Web isn't even my forte. To be fair, half the forum websites i've seen suffer from this bug, and it's an easy fix, but it's a matter of deleting a certain line, which is hard to find. Worst part is, the reason the bug happened is because the code happens twice when it only needs to happen once. Highlight the code to see what is happening. Basically, the "special characters" are run through a conversion function to make them "safe" to prevent hacking. So your special characters like Ö are being converted to make sure no one tries to take advantage of them to break the HTML and inject their own HTML in, which would allow people to mess with the site's code. What its' supposed to do is turn things like　❤ into &heart;. The problem is, to prevent issues when teaching people how to do that in HTML, there also needs to be a way of turning & into something. So if you highlight, then "view source selection" you'll see it becomes "&oumlaut;" which is wrong. Specifically, since they're already sanitizing the input (or the output), it makes sense to go back into the bbcode checking area and remove the protection from links.

This is not unlike the "double free" bugs seen in windows that can be used to call KeBugCheck (BSOD) using things like simple message boxes.


I was an idiot. I bought all the gems at full price when i created my account because i wasn't aware that gog frequently had sales.

Isn't it wonderful that Alaric is here to defend the hapless, downtrodden plebs against the savage, rep-raping mobs that have mercilessly abused and harassed them since time immemorial?

Why yes, I think it is!

You ought to read through some previous suggestions. It's been done a few times. A lot of good ideas in the earlier ones.

I'm not suggesting that there isn't a problem. I just happen to hate the victim culture that is turning us into ugly, whiny caricatures of what humans are meant to be.
