My self-made forum is online

Robert Plomp · August 23, 2002, 03:18

I putted an alpha-version of my self-made forum online.
Since I have stolen some apolyton-forum-features I think Markos is free to steal some from me as well

Pherhaps you guys want to test and toy around with the forum? You're allowed to find loopholes, bugs and even you can take it over by a good hack. (report me how you did it though, and give it back after you did

)

http://www2.jvhebron.com/forum.nsf/
In case you're too lazy to register:
username: Guest
password: Guest

Markos, can this thread stay in the apolyton section, since it has all to do with website building, and with the apolyton board as well. (pherhaps we can trade ideas and all that)

Oh, my forum has a WYSIWYG editor, and you can create a poll without pressing 'the button' first.

And if you wonder, yes, I created the main part myself. I have used some javascript from others though, but altered them most of the time.

MarkG · August 23, 2002, 03:28

you expect people to register before seenig your forum?

notyoueither · August 23, 2002, 03:34

I just got banned on jvhebron! What a bunch of...

Robert Plomp · August 23, 2002, 03:36

it's easy registration.
name, email, password (email not even nescecary) and than 'save'.

But you're right, I forgot to remove it. I use the forum private with friends. Concider it to be removed in 10 hours.

ts. Markos, you didn't even register.
Neither did you, notyoueither

c'mon, give it a try! It's a good forum.
Markos: I'm sure you'll love the way I did the "Create a poll" thingy. (tm

)

EDIT: (before people start to cry about replying to much)
it does track perfectly which messages you read and which messages you didn't read as well.

Skanky Burns · August 23, 2002, 05:13

Looking through it now.

There should be a link somewhere from the registration area back to the login area (or even have the login on the page after you have registered).

spartak · August 23, 2002, 05:16

Its good. Like it..... Not very buggy and I'm sure cyber will iron out the gliches as he gets more feedback. Nice and fast too.

Skanky Burns · August 23, 2002, 05:20

Oh, and don't display people's email addresses. I currently don't get much spam, and want to keep it that way.

you want me to remove your email address?
You're not obligated to fill it out.

Skanky Burns · August 23, 2002, 05:47

I didn't.

Its just probably not a good idea to have other's email addresses availble publicly.

Martin Gühmann · August 23, 2002, 07:42

Actual I don't like non Netscape 4.78 compartible pages. I just hit your link and got a message that the document contained no data. Even Apolyton is not at 100% compartible with Netscape 4.78, in Netscape 4.78 I can't still see the who I am a buddy from link.

Robert Plomp · August 23, 2002, 09:11

Sorry Martin,

but it's really much too much work to make a page compatible with a browser hardly anybody still uses, and which will never be upgrade anymore.

Rasbelin · August 23, 2002, 10:14

Feedback time!

1. The BBS doesn't work with Mozilla (version used: 1.1 Beta). Don't try to explaint it by saying nobody uses Mozilla. I assume the same problem goes for Netscape 6/7. Someone could confirm that.

2. Can use fake e-mail addresses. Mine: none@of-your-business-pal.net.

3. After registration you end up in a member list, but the user isn't given any options. So one has to be smart enough to click the "Back" button.

4. Bad translation. Most of the system texts are in Dutch, but you still get the point. Hmmm... Geplaatst door. What could that be?

Conclusion...

A real killer. Very high quality posts!

Robert Plomp · August 23, 2002, 11:04

1. sorry about that.
2. yeah, I knkow. I don't care.
3. ok. I have to fix that.
4. yeah, I translated it this morning in a rush before I left for work. sorry again.

btw, I putted some translations in one of my first threads. It says "Welcome on this messageboard" or something like that.

and a killer it is!
thanks for goofing around and reporting!

Can You see the passwords?

I was just thinking if they used the same password here you could log on as them and get them baned

Martin Gühmann · August 23, 2002, 12:32

OK Cyber I tried your Guest account, so far no success, if I try it with Netscape 6.2 I get this message:

You're not authorized to perform this operation

Same with Micro$oft'$ Int?rn?t Explor?r 5.5.

And in Opera 6.1 I wasn't able to log in with you Guest log in, I could press the button as often as I want but no chance. And don't tell me again no one uses this browser.

-Martin

Robert Plomp · August 23, 2002, 13:00

you're sure you use Guest with a capital-G?

Level, of course I can see the passwords. I created the messageboard myself. What do you expect?
And no, I would never misuse them. In fact I don't even look at passwords (unless people ask me because they forgot.)

Martin Gühmann · August 23, 2002, 13:28

I used the capital G, I found out this myself. If you don't use the capital G then you get something like this:

Het wachtwoord is onjuist

Robert Plomp · August 23, 2002, 15:43

Do you have cookies enabled?

Thrawn05 · August 23, 2002, 16:17

"You're not authorized to perform this operation"

All I did was type my name and password...

I'm running WinXP Pro w/ IE 6.0.2600.0000

ZoneAlarm3 and CookieCop2 enabled. No cookies were blocked and no pop ups were canceled.

Zopperoni · August 23, 2002, 16:34

I can't log in with Opera either. I can with IE...

In Opera all I get is "Form Processed"...

H Tower · August 23, 2002, 17:17

why can't poly have that many smileys?

spartak · August 23, 2002, 17:38

They do - just some of Cyber's are more fun...

trickey · August 23, 2002, 18:01

im not authorized to register

Robert Plomp · August 23, 2002, 18:13

Thrawn05 has been registrated
trickey has been registrated

what error messages do you guys get?
Thrawn05, you were registrated more than once, pherhaps that's the reason. (I removed the possibility to register more than once now)

August Borms · August 23, 2002, 18:21

When I registered I also got that authorization error but I could login anyway with that username...

Rasbelin · August 23, 2002, 18:29

Hmmm... I assume those Lotus Domino extensions are the reason. Or then the login JavaScript. I'll have to check on Bugzilla.

August Borms · August 23, 2002, 18:32

I can't type anything in the reply field?

tniem · August 23, 2002, 19:41

Running Mozilla - all I get is a blank white screen. Is your link wrong or did you design it so IE specific that it will not even show up on my browser?

Rasbelin · August 23, 2002, 20:40

tniem,

read my earlier post. It's a bug.

tniem · August 23, 2002, 21:08

Ah yes, I missed it. Well I guess than I won't be visiting it until it is fixed.
