Does anythign strike you as odd about the "other games by Shade" bit?

on my computer it says "life" and "McCarthy Chronicles Episode 1"

So i assume theres an odd little bug on this page that makes it display the games by whoever is logged in as well...

doesnt do it on any other pages.

Hmm... Life and McCarthy appears for me too. Are you twins?

Edit: Your username has Shade in. That's probably messing it up somehow.

odd, he didn't even work on it. Perhaps it's because you last name has Shade in it.

ah yeah i didnt think of that. Which is odd because its so damn obvious.

Now someone needs to be called "Leaf" and they can steal my glory completely noooooo

lol clearly. The author of Lichdom - "Where did I put that..." is ShadeJackrabbit.

If you look, Shade's name is actually ags_freak.

So it's not searching by name exactly, it's searching the Author: category. It appears to be doing an approximate search through the Table instead of an exact search.

Edit:
Just to make sure I was correct, I quickly changed who the Author was on my game, and this was the result:

Calin, I'd pm CJ and just let him know.

This is actually a "feature" rather than a bug, but this example is one case where it doesn't work very well!

Anyway, the new website won't have this problem so we'll just have to put up with it until then.

Aren't most bugs just features in that one case where they don't work very well?

Most big software companies know this by heart.

Actually, most "bugs" are a case of PBCAK: Problem between keyboard and chair.

As a tech support guy I find that problem can be solved easily by beating it to death and slipping out of the building under the cover of the fire alarm you just pulled.
