It happens when someone inadvertently directly edits the forum message posted by TASVideoAgent instead of editing the submission.

After the recent server move, the Site API has stopped working - doDbQuery() consistently returns with success="false", no result data, and a blank error message.

For the record, the site API is working properly again, though it's behaving rather strangely with regards to compression - if I request compression using "$soap_options['compression'] = SOAP_COMPRESSION_ACCEPT | SOAP_COMPRESSION_GZIP;" (just as described on the API page), it performs extremely slowly (about 10 seconds to download 724 records), but if I omit SOAP_COMPRESSION_ACCEPT (or simply drop $soap_options entirely), it's extremely fast (less than 1 second to complete the same query).

Since yesterday, even after clearing my browser's cache and cookies, I've been seeing this on the Alden / Popular Games page : Image It appears to be the case of every "Most popular" movies (called by something like [module:displaymovie|id=1330]) , but not the others (called by sth like [module:displaymovie|name=mario]). Furthermore, Alden/PopularGames is the only page where I can see this strange bug.

I see this too. Using latest Opera build.

Thanks for keeping my subtle opinion piece up to date.

I'm also seeing this. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it might have something to do with the way its laid out on the user's homepage.

Yes, let's keep quoting the post with the giant image.

My bad. I wasn't paying attention to the post I was quoting.

I like the new front-page, but there's a glitch on the random starred video. Cutting off a paragraph mid-sentence is bad enough. Cutting it off mid-html-tag leads to problems: With the news-div on the right, there should be enough room to display the full description anyway, wouldn't it? Otherwise, it may be more robust to only cut off after a line-break?

I guess this would go here: the archive.org link for RBI Baseball (http://tasvideos.org/1118M.html) is of the River City Ransom movie, not RBI Baseball.

Yes. I was going to make it so it only gets cut off after a line break. This still needs tweaked though. @skater43: I will take a look at it. Edit: Added the correct movie to 1118M. Will look into the movie module soon.

unless there are descriptions where html-code spans multiple lines, this should work.
<?php
$text = <<<EOS
this is a short text on line1

this is a slightly longer text on line3

epdsghoiivisgxoifgusfufwsyafiudasiuzfdiufsdiuxfcsufdzufzwfzusfdzufyzuszfyxzfsuc.
yeah.
EOS;

$max_length = 100;
$max_lines = 3;

$str = '';
$lines = 0;
foreach (explode("\n", $text) as $line)
{
	if (strlen($str) + strlen($line) > $max_length && $lines > 0)
		break;
	$str .= $line . "\n";
	$lines++;
	if ($lines >= $max_lines)
		break;
}

echo trim($str);

As you know, if the text for the starred movie that pops up on the front page is too long, there's a "Read more" link that leads to the publication. For some movies, this "Read more"-link doesn't work. In this case, the link doesn't lead anywhere. The movies I've noticed this for are: *Bionic Commando *Donkey Kong Country 2 *Super Mario Bros 3 It seems the bug is that the first word that the "Read more" link replaces is a link in itself.

Randil: The issue you're reporting is the same issue reported right above you. This has actually been annoying me since day one of the featured movie thing has been added to the frontpage. I finally decided to look at it. It seems this code had many more errors than first realized. It didn't handle unicode for example. Anyways, I replaced the code used there with the code used in the RSS feeds, hopefully all issues should now be fixed.

The forum logo starts repeating when your browser window is too large: http://puu.sh/aR0 The background image is simply not large enought.

That actually just looks like bad coding. Wouldn't it be a lot safer to use different images for the logo and the gradient? Also, a gradient that's just 1 pixel width and is repeated loads a lot faster, in addition to working with any display width.

Yes, this has been mentioned many times before. This is what Bisqwit said about the issue: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=186264#186264
You're just fucking stupid, everyone hates you, sorry to tell you the truth. no one likes you, you're someone pretentious and TASes only to be on speed game, but don't have any hope, you won't get there.

Because certain features aren't enabled for users with less than 400 posts, and as a developer, she needs to be able to test these features.
