A victim relates what happens when one confronts an Andyite in DUmmieland; link above, but one had better be used to the old "Sam Spade" sort of stories, because it isn't pretty.
Speaking of DUmmieland, seems to be a major information purge in progress over there (though it is under the guise of "upgrading several" of their "core scripts that run the discussion forums"). Anyway, I question the timing...
"We are going to be making some major changes today (Jun 14th 2005)
We are going to be upgrading several of our core scripts that run the discussion forums today. For several weeks we've been working on new code to refurbish and clean up the main discussion forum scripts (Lobby, Latest, Greatest, forum display, and thread display), and we're going to be switching over to the new scripts today.
However, this is likely to cause some problems, as I'm sure we've overlooked some bugs and features despite our best efforts to mimick the existing scripts as much as possible. So we'll need your help finding and fixing any bugs/errors/oversights that come up.
How to report a problem with one of the new scripts
If you encounter a problem with one of the new scripts (i.e., a feature isn't working right, a link goes to the wrong place, you get a bug report id number, etc), please email me at
elad@democraticunderground.com .
Please include as much detail as possible. Tell me exactly what you were doing (viewing a thread - view all mode or single post mode? what thread? - reading a forum - which forum? expanded or collapsed mode? - etc), what actually happened, and what should have happened.
I have no idea how many problems we're going to encounter, so if I don't get back to you personally I apologize but I will do my best.
Thanks, and we hope you all enjoy the new design!
