What, The, Hell?! Major Forum/Site Issue!

Forum Issue!

from GalCiv2 Forums

I was busy working away on my AAR here https://forums.galciv2.com/326833 when I ran into a serious bug on the forums.

Basically, it locked me out of replying further, editing my last post, or doing anything really relating to the thread. Here's an example of what I get when I try to respond or scroll all the way to the bottom of the thread.

 

Understandably, given the time I've put into the thread, I'm rather annoyed. I've noticed it happening to some older threads, but thought it was limited to just those. Can I get an explaination? A fix? An anything? Please Stardock? No offense, I love Gal Civ II, but your forums have been a mess for a while, and this site even more so. Half the links in the Database don't work, about a quarter of the time, including tonight I get error messages at www.galciv2.com, and now this.

There is a bug in Firefox which causes very long pages to cut off at a certain point. Mozilla has been aware (for a few years, at least) but has neglected to do anything about it as yet. Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done aside from using another browser or editing the thread to shorten it.

Ah, well, at least now I know, I can swap over to Chrome for your site. Thanks for the quick reply! That's why I love you guys! Glad the problem isn't on your end (seemed weird that it would be). What about the Databanks issue? Specifically with the gameplay examples?
