http://EvC Forum: Biological Reduction and Free Will -->EvC Forum: Biological Reduction and Free Will Ben (added by edit)Clicking the button twice only gave me one post. Clicking the button, then clicking "back", then clicking the button again gave me two posts. In other words, good job (at least for IE!)

My guess on how it happened:
Contracycle posted message 29. Then he decided to do an edit. But instead of clicking on "edit", he used the "back" button on his browser. This got him back to the message creation window, where he did his edit, and again submitted. Thus the two postings. But not a simple double clicking of the "submit" button. I think I may have done this myself in the past. Side note: edit in message 29 noted as being done at 13:27 am (eastern time) Adminnemooseus

Nice find Moose.
I'll post a message as a reply to Percy, to alert him of the bug. You'll find a better description of the problem there. (The next post) (added by edit)I posted the bug in the dBBoard thread. This message has been edited by Ben!, 12-28-2004 14:06 AM

Ben writes: There are some choices in the "Search Forum / Archive" dropdown menu of the search page that are not valid selections Main Topic ForumsSide Orders Forum Bits and Bytes Archive The forum categories are now valid selections. In other words, you can now search all the forums of a single category by selecting the category from the search menu. Categories are now also included in the context banner that appears at the top of most pages, e.g.:
(By the way, if there are any HTML/css/Javascript hackers out there who know how to get the first line of the context aligned left and any remainder that wraps to a second line aligned right, please let me know.) You can click on a category link and be taken to a list of the forums for that category. The jump table that appears at the bottom right of most pages also now works for categories.

Ben writes: I've noticed that both in CREATING and SEARCHING usernames, user names are case sensitive!! Now I know you're busy with fixing up dBBoard 1.0, but this should NOT be allowed in any commercial release. UNDOUBTEDLY you don't want people registering names based on case. For example, I register "percy" (not to be confused with "Percy") . People would get confused, and it could lead to aliasing. Though dBoard is new software, it uses many of the UBB assumptions and databases that we started with. This includes case sensitive user names.
In the MINIMUM case, keep the assumptions (i.e. code that assumes aliases are case-sensitive) but REMOVE the ability to create aliases taht are the same spelling but different case. Requiring new registrations to be unique when checked case-insensitively makes a lot of sense. I've added it to the list. This would differ from aliases, because you actually want users to be able to create case sensitive aliases. One of the common requests I get is, "I registered as 'tom', but I really wanted to be 'Tom'."

The biggest problem I had is when searching. I don't remember if the user is "tom" or "Tom". And that's in a simple case. Case-senisitity is really weird in this context as well, IMO.

That is a good point though about being able to "spoof" using a case sensitive alias? Isn't it?

That is a good point though about being able to "spoof" using a case sensitive alias? Isn't it? Yes, you're right. The way it would have to work is to only allow creation of create case-insensitive unique aliases, except when compared with the suer's own aliases. For example, this would mean you'd be able to create an alias called "NOSYNED", but not an alias called "PERCY".

Minor detail, but I think it would be nice if the "This message is a reply to:" notation were displayed at the topic of the reply message, rather than at the bottom.
I know I often find myself scrolling to the bottom of a long message, to find out who it is a reply to, and then scrolling back up to either the replied to message or the top of the reply. Moose

This makes a lot of sense, and it would fit neatly between the message number and the date. I might have to play with the appearance a bit, but I'll see what I can do. I've added it to the list.
