Halsafar had a thread about ALphBlending on the middle of this forum section at the moment. THen you can see that the thread title has dissapeared, and if you click on the arrow to the right, to get to the last post, you get to the last post in the next thread? Any qlues?

Sorry, I think I just PIIIIIIPe the forum. I got into the thread, and *bumbed* it to see what happend. And the thread title came back, but look what happend now...

[NoteMe]

It looks like there is an add inside where a thread should have been located:




That is the same location as the thread without the title was before I bumped it...

And now it is working again, but my *BUMP* post is gone.

I blame it on FireFox

[Electroman]

Yes and it says 1 to 21 threads are being shown yet I only see 9 including the two stickys & the suspect thread that seems to have started all of this.

There is a lot fewer threads showing now then before this happend. It looks like it is cutting off every thread after the thread I *bumbed*s original place...

I am sooo sorry that I PIIIIIPed the forum..

I don't think so, it did that after Note Posted to a thread which is acting strange. I then deleted the post and it went to how you see it now. I can reproduce the effect you saw note me get for IE if I undelete the Post NoteMe made. Thing is even now its still acting up.

[Electroman]

I might have fixed it....I undeleted the bump post Note and now it seems to be displaying better. Now I am going to Ban you from the Games area for that. Now let me figure out whats up with that thread befgore you break it again

Now it is working....but the thread title dissapeared again:

Is that how it appeared in the first place or did it just go like that for you when i posted that i'd fixed it? It was appearing liekt hat for me from the start.

[NoteMe]

OK....here is how it went:

• The thread title was gone.
• I got into the thread and bumbed it, then the thread title came back.
• That resulted in the add replacing the thread, and the rest of the threads where cut off.
• Then I think you deleted my BUMP post, and the add was no longer in the thread title (or rather all the cells of that line), but it did still cut of the rest of the threads
• You did then undo the deleting of my post, and the rest of the threads came back, but then the thread title dissabeared again.

[Electroman]

To continue your little blog there.....

I bumped it, I broke it again...the title appears for it but all after are cut off and ad is in the thread space after the suspect thread.

I'm waiting for marty to see this then I'll try and fix it like I did last time *prays*

[NoteMe]

Well when Electroman now posted in that thread again, he broke it again. The thread title came back, and the add took the old threads space.


But I noticed something on the page.

-->

isn't that often used after some JS? Is there some JS or VBScript or something that messes this up?

[Electroman]

Its the end of a HTML comment but i think this is because caused on a forum Software level cos that thread is messed up to start with . I don't know why the title doesn't display but I have an idea of how to get it back, will try it shortly....

[NoteMe]

But isn't often JS written inside of comments for some support thingy. I am no expert on this...but I have seen it been done.

Looks like it is commented away.

Its fixed now...it wasn't that thread causing the problem actually. It was the "2D Alpha Blend Q:" One, it was to do with the tooltip that is used as the preview. Brad has fixed this by removing the Tooltips .....NoteMe you are now unbanned from the Games Section.... .

Hehehe...thanks...well I guess something good came out of it after all, there has been so many complains about that tool tip anyway.

Glad I could help, and now I can finaly answer questions again too..
