There is a whole new version of the site in the works, which will address a lot of useability issues like that.  Watch this space!  (Possibly for a long time, I do have a day job too!)

A usual culprit for this is people trying to include a YouTube link with the full "https://youtube.com/" address, rather than just the video ID as specified on the page.  Did you do that?

Yeah, sorry, the MediaWiki plugin we use to understand forums logins was previously bugged.  Luckily it was patched not long ago.

I think it's fixed now?

Let's try to organise it more like we have in the past next year.  Like longlisting destinations late 2023, garnering interest early 2024, booking spring 2024.  I'll stick some reminders in my calendar.

Here's an optimized version:

Code: JavaScript

window.addEventListener("load", function() {
  document.querySelectorAll('a[href^="https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/profile/"]')
  .forEach(a => a.href = a.href.replace(/%20/g, "+"));
});

Thanks, that's implemented!

Unfortunately this is a known bug in the SMF forums software.  All I can suggest is you try to rephrase your text to avoid using apostrophes for the time being.  "I am" instead of "I'm" sort of thing.

Thanks!  I've added this to both themes' JS files, so no need for a local GreaseMonkey script.  It's not quite perfect, as there are other places profile links appear, but this is a great starting point I can use to add other classes as I find them.

Thanks, @Khris, I've adjusted it to the following, which is a bit more heavy handed, but should coves all eventualities.  Let's see if it slows things down at all!

Code: JavaScript

window.addEventListener("load", function () {
    document.querySelectorAll('a').forEach(a => {
        if (a.href.includes('https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/')) {
            a.href = a.href.replace(/%20/g, "+");
        }
    });
});

Here's a GreaseMonkey script that will fix this:

Code: JavaScript

// ==UserScript==
// @name     AGS profile link fix
// @version  1
// @grant    none
// @match https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/*
// ==/UserScript==

window.addEventListener("load", function () {
  document.querySelectorAll(".poster h4 a, .postby a, .moderators a").forEach(a => {
    a.href = a.href.replace(/%20/g, "+");
  });
});

(In case you don't want to use GreaseMonkey, simply replace the spaces in the username with + symbols)

This is a known issue with the rewrite plugin.  All the pages are still accessible via user ID rather than the rewritten name, like https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/pm/?sa=send;u=39 to send me a PM.

It's a bit longwinded, but if you go to https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/mlist/?sa=search and search for the username, the link in the Status column on the results page will include the user ID.  Then plug that into the address format from above, and you'll be able to do what you need.

We don't have any control over search, it's core SMF functionality.

However, in this particular case you could do "ports -reports" and it would exclude any results matching reports.

On the second point, there's a bug in this version of SMF where profile custom text cannot include certain punctuation marks.  Apostrophes at very least.

@AGA thank you,
I noticed one problem: the button remains even though I removed the "in-development version" data (because there's no Beta version currently).

Ah, good point!  I've added a check for the relevant strings' lengths before showing each of the three button types.

First thing would be setting a date


Cotswolds looks lovely

Generally numbers come first, with people giving a vague idea of when they might be available if they're interested in attending.  If I know ~10 people are potentially interested, vs ~20, then I can look at possible properties.  All these things determine the dates we have to choose from.

So any more thoughts about this?

I've added buttons for beta and nightlies links to the top of the page.

That's because I completely forgot about this thread, sorry!  I've extended the end date to 9th March.

@cat want me to extend the deadline by a week?  I think it'd make sense under the circumstances.

That seems to happen every time I do anything directly in the database, rather than SMF doing it.  I really need to pin down what the cause is...

Yeah, hide= is no longer supported.  Seems it was mostly only you who even realised it existed, sorry!  I've updated all the instance I could find.

And some people were using HIDE for some reason, which my find / replace will have missed.  I've fixed those now too.
