Wow, without something like this thread, I would never have known of this! Anyone know of a Super Moderator who might wish to sticky this??? :-s ~Mr. Devnull

Hello again... :anxious: (Please, whatever you do, don't just lock this due to my stupidity earlier in the week! :ohnoes: ...) Didn't have this hit me until I was trying to post something that needed this rather nifty feature this morning, but I would like to ask for a slightly different parsing method for some of the phpBB tags currently being used on Tip.It. I would like to ask that for any tag that uses options like a URL or just some text, that it be required that there are the double-quotes after the equal sign within the opening tag, and that single quotes be allowed for such things as when someone is talking about an item belonging to someone within those double quotes. (Note: I may sound really negative while typing out the rest of this. This is not my intent, and I seriously apologize for how it sounds. :( ...) Here's an example of code that doesn't fully work... I've used http://www.tip.it as my example choice for a URL... [hide="Someone's item..."] [quote name="Someone's thought"]Example Text[/quote] Example text [url="http://www.tip.it"]http://www.tip.it[/url][/hide] When used with the quotes, like so, we get this right now... =============Begin Example============= [hide=Someone's item...] Example text http://www.tip.it[/hide] =============End Example...============= As you can see, the quote works, but the url and hide doesn't work. But if the double-quotes are removed... =============Begin Example============= [hide=Someone's item...] Example text http://www.tip.it[/hide] =============End Example...============= The URL now works, but the quote and hide doesn't... and the syntax gets confusing... Hmm, I'll remove that single quote and talk improperly by accident... =============Begin Example============= [hide=Someones item...] Example text http://www.tip.it[/hide] =============End Example...============= The URL and hide work, but the Quote fails now. (End section with accidental negativity here... I think... :anxious: ...) Put simply, my point is that it really would be better overall, both for coders and normal users alike, if a better parsing system was put into place to allow single-quotes and double-quotes to be used to properly display an item. BTW, I'm very much willing to wait however massively long it takes for something like this to go through and happen. I'd just like to avoid future messes on posts. :D So, Opinions? Thoughts? Discussion, please? : ~Mr. D. V. Devnull

Sounds good. Someone get it done! ~Mr. Devnull

Well said, Pokemama, I agree fully. =D> I admit, though, I still think that a "News-specific section" would still help. What do you think? :-s ~Mr. Devnull

Or they're being blocked from accessing their server of choice by some jerk who is "DDOS Flooding" and tying up the lines between them and RuneScape, seeing as it only takes "one 'black hat hacker' (aka a 'black cat', for the purpose of the saying) in the path" to screw up the day. Hadn't thought of it before, thought I'd mention it now. ~Mr. Devnull

I know that. I'm just saying that "Club Marian" provides an idea based on the vague descriptions above my posts. *sigh* -.- ~Mr. Devnull

Regarding the Topic, why not just create an area purely for News Events? :-s And now for a quote pulled semi-out-of-context... <*pulls out an intent on humor*> And they sometimes lead to a "verbal person killing fest". LOL! :lol: ~Mr. Devnull

Someone should look at "Club Marian" on http://www.maidmarian.com ... I just realized that this thread is describing rather similar an idea to what is already over there. :shock: Hmm, now only if that were in RuneScape. :-k ~Mr. Devnull

I bet some idiot is "DDOS Flooding" the internet. Would explain my link fallout last night while on a british world. ~Mr. Devnull (Note: Putting in a move request to "Tech and Computers"...)

Your answer is here: http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?p=5211549#5211549 The video runs for about 3 minutes, 54 seconds... calculating for text delays and transitions the author put in their video, I would say that each run takes only about 75 seconds, that time amount including load delays for pouches and such. Physical run time is only about 50 seconds of that or less, from what I can tell. Hope that all helps. 8-) ~Mr. D. V. Devnull

Sounds good to me... However, I have this feeling I'll never need to talk about it again. Something under the header of "It would only clog bandwidth" ... :oops: ~Mr. Devnull

Well aren't we a good boy? -.- I don't think he caught what I said regarding Rule 15. :x <*Punches Rainy_Day, hits a '702', and sends the jerk back to Lumbridge in one hit...*> ~Mr. Devnull

Agreed. :) ~Mr. Devnull

Now I know you've been hit by something. Whip out your anti-virus/anti-malware/anti-spyware utilities. Good luck on getting whatever is ruining your TCP/IP stack cleaned out. ~Mr. Devnull (Note: Requesting thread move to "Tech and Computers")

Okay, before anyone rants on me about time, I know I came back after only 3 hours... and onto the beating myself up now... <*punches self*> Understood. Please lock this thread caused by my stupidity. :wall: #-o And as for you, I think some clarification needs making, jemathonical... That is kinda what I was thinking. You only care about your post count. It really doesn't matter. I think after every post you make you should put ~Mr. D.V Devnull (Tipit's Un-Official 'I want to be the centre of everything involving post count' -.- Uhm, no, jemathonical, I do not simply just care about only my post count. As I mentioned in the other thread, I use my post count only as a statistical tracker, and it has been one I've been glad to have. It helps me to force myself to look through forums more for stuff worth discussing, causing all those nice and nifty threads to rise back to the top on a puff of my brain power. ~Mr. Devnull (Tip.It's Un-official Nutcase who is still learning.)

Hi, Tip.It Forum Staff... I thought the problem would just go away on its' own, but now it seems to have grown with a vengeance. At the moment, I have about 1776 valid and countable posts, as displayed by my sidebar next to any post I have put, yet my profile page only shows 1767. My profile page was only updating about every 3 or 4 posts up until about 2 hours ago, and now it has just stopped updating totally. I hope this problem can be solved sometime soon, because I have this fear that it is only the precursor of far worse problems within the forum server and its' software. Logging off for the day. I will check this thread in about 24 hours. ~Mr. D. V. Devnull (Un-official "hitting puppy" [as in they find me and beat me up a lot] of software bugs everywhere...)

Oops i meant the cable from the router/modem to the computer internet works perfectly fine for my other computer though I had the exact same problem. You probably have trojans or viruses. All I did was do System restore if you have windows XP. My dad was so pissed at me for screwing up his comp, it took like a week to figure that out. Edit: Nvm, I could just restart it and internet worked again Hmm, viruses/trojans don't sound like the problem just yet... :-k nicrune008, try using the cable from the other PC with your router-to-computer link. If that works, it means that the cable you were originally using is bad. If not, then it could mean worse. :-s ~Mr. Devnull

No offense or anything but if you don't even remember why even bother. <*bashes were80 over the head with a hammer*> Because they're asking for help. Duh. ~Mr. Devnull

NJEO3, I support your suggestion at the rock levels you currently have published on your post, which I have quoted above. The economy needs to take a nose dive until such time as the autoers and macroers leave due to what they are doing being fully not profitable, which will then actively force a regrowth in the economy into what it should be. (Plus, this will have the effect of allowing Jagex to get rid of some of the updates that hurt honest players. You know which ones I mean.) ~Mr. Delta Varuna Devnull

Try rebooting your computer. If you upgraded java recently or just installed it, then you have to reboot so all the problems will be handled. You may also need to reboot if your PC has been up for quite a long time, as the system RAM and resources may be looking like a fly splatted on the windshield of a moving car. :P If this isn't the problem, clear the cookies you have where the URL contains 'runescape.com' ... there may be a session cookie problem. :| And if that isn't it, well, you'd better whip out your anti-virus/anti-malware/anti-spyware checkers. :( And if you're still clean after all that, then I'm stumped. :? ~Mr. Devnull (Side note: I've requested a thread move. You're in the wrong forum as of when I have posted.)

I_Dragonov_I, try Karamja and pray you don't get decimated. Having sub-55 attack and sub-55 defense is a pain, I should know from my own history until I got above 60 atk & 60 def! In all honesty, you've really already badly limited your options. :( ~Mr. D. V. Devnull

It sounds like the link you bookmarked is compromised somehow. Delete the old one and book with this one. Oh, and after that, check your computer for malware/spyware/viruses and anything else that could case trouble... There are ones that will change your bookmarks and TCP/IP stack data in unwanted and rather hellishly destructive ways. ~Mr. Devnull

Actually, yes, having yet one more quest would be helpful, and if it is set up right, then the correct people get the bank space access, and not anyone else! Must I state what kind of a total [bleep] you are with this? I could see monthly prices, like 1k gp. But not 500 gp every time a person is on! And anywho, once you've done that quest, the trouble and time spent should have a proper reward, not one that you have to keep paying for! The bank space should be the reward for completing the quest, not be locked behind extra requirements like paying out the ears! <*slams orao8 against a wall, knocking them out cold, then leaves the thread until the next time he checks for replies... which shouldn't be long from now*> ~Mr. Devnull

If you haven't already done so, have your cable company check the line. They can probably pin down what is going on. ~Mr. Devnull

I am not being redirected... pages are coming through fine. 8-) Follow this link and tell me where you land... http://www.runescape.com If you don't land in the right place (the RuneScape site front) then you have likely been hit by something or someone is blocking your path or your TCP/IP is not properly configured. I hope this helps. ~Mr. Devnull
