[edit] Bugs

[edit] Crash On Run

After the initial run, the program crashes as soon as I run it. Deleting the settings files, fixes it, but again only for one run. Could it be my various JS scripts? I really don't want to have to disable those to have to run VP. IE 6.0, Java 1.5.0_06 (JVM), Screen Res 1152x864. — Ilyan e p (Talk) 02:13, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Hmm...and now it works. Weird. — Ilyan e p (Talk) 02:16, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Nope...same crashing persists. — Ilyan e p (Talk) 02:19, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

By settings files, do you mean the MyCount.txt, CustomButtons.txt, etc.? It doesn't seem like that should be crashing it unless you're modifying them. And what do you mean by crashing? Does it give you an error message? AmiDaniel (Talk) 04:52, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes I meant those, and I didn't modify them at all. By crashing, I mean it gives me the Windows XP 'Do you want to send an error report to Microsoft' message, I click don't send and it closes. — Ilyan e p (Talk) 13:23, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Oh, that's really not good then. It sounds like a memory leak, especially since you've been able to fix it by deleting the setting files (thus, the app thinks it's an initial run). This might have to do with the Customization ability I just implemented for the Rollback buttons on ... I believe, Thursday ... I haven't had much time to test since I made those changes, and it's entirely possible that I accidentally forgot to close a thread. Thanks for bringing this to my attention! Let me proofread my code a bit more and hopefully get this fix by the weekend. AmiDaniel (Talk) 17:07, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

It may have to do with that, cause it may or may not have started after I tried to customize the warning buttons. Hopefully you can find what's causing it :) (oh and I hope your life gets less stressful in the future) — Ilyan e p (Talk) 20:04, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank God!!! I think (crosses fingers) I finally fixed it ... possibly the most annoying bug I have ever encountered in my life. I absolutely hate this browser control, not because it's a bad control but rather because there is practically no documentation on it. What seems to have been the problem is that I was passing it too lengthy a string, and rather than simply producing a normal, debuggable error it would simply crash (unhandled exception in IE). I think I've finally got it all sorted out though, and so it should now work in version 1.0.1 when I upload it. Sorry about that, but I'm surprised no one else reported this bug; it began for you (and eventually for me) when the Welcome page became too long for the control to handle. Now the app simply strips everything unnecessary off the page when it loads. Sorry if I'm not making any sense... my brain's a little fried. But I fixed it!!! AmiDaniel (Talk) 23:54, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Pats you on the back.Once it's rockin', I'd buy you a drink if I could. T K E 04:46, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] screenshot of problems

I'll let the image speak by itself. In the beginning I thought this (missing rollback) wouldn't be a problem, as I have popups and godmode-light, but godmode crashes VP (only works with FF anyway) and popups don't show any link, therefore I need you to correct this. F e tofs ^Hello! 16:41, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm guessing, as you hinted, that this is a g-mode light problem. I did, however, test it with godmode-light running a couple of times and didn't have any problems ... but I have made some changes since then. Could you do my favor? Open up a diff in your normal browser, click "view source code", and then copy and paste the cource code in an email to: dccannon@hotmail.com. That might help me sort it out. Thanks. AmiDaniel (Talk) 19:07, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I guess that by "normal browser" you mean FF, right? Email sent. F e tofs ^Hello! 01:41, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Preferably IE, but the HTML source should hopefully be the same in both. I'm also gonna try copying your monobook to mine to see if I can sort this out. AmiDaniel (Talk) 02:19, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Oops, sorry. I got your message, and it's exactly what I asked for. Give me a little bit of time to take a look at it, and I'll get back to you. Thanks for your patience! AmiDaniel (Talk) 05:04, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] execution time errors

"Error: 'document.editform.wpSave' is null or not an object"
"Error: 'document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an object"

I have those errors every time a new page loads, and the rollback functions don't work (the button is gray). When I try to debug the script, I get that the error is on the line: "document.editform.wpSave.onclick = ForceEditSummary", so I guess it's a script conflict. Testing... F e tofs ^Hello! 15:32, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Exactly. See my recent edits to my monobook.js and you'll see that my whole monobook isn't compatible with your app. F e tofs ^Hello! 15:41, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I actually believe this is likely not a conflict with your other tools, but rather has to do with java. What seems to be happening is that it is for some reason retrieving one more child object than is actually there (for the getElementById part). The only one that really bothers me is the spSave; hopefully you get that warning only when editing a page, but I don't understand how it could not find wpSave (the Save button). There might be a setting under your Java settings or internet setting to turn off the error messages, though I don't know where it is. What version of Java are you using? AmiDaniel (Talk) 19:16, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

That would be JRE 1.5.0_06. F e tofs ^Hello! 01:37, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Okay, one more thought that I was trying to post right when the server went down ... try turning off "Force edit summaries" from your preferences... that should hopefully fix the wpSave errors. I'm still not sure how to fix the bodycontent problems, but I'll work on a fix. It does still seem to be a java problem, but it might have to do with your tools. What I really need to work on is disabling scripts on pages (except for popups, which I use quite extensively and have no problems with). Another source of the problem could be that some of the scripts are desinged for FF only, and as VP uses IE components, they might not be compatible with IE, thus the error. (You might also try setting your skin in the IE browser to Simple and see if that cures it). Again, I'll look into it some more, and thanks for bringing this to my attention. AmiDaniel (Talk) 02:18, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

"Force edit summaries" in my preferences is turned off; I use a script for it. Again, when I blank my monobook.js, these errors disappear. Most of the scripts are really uncompatible with IE, but I never got any error like this in the normal browser. F e tofs ^Hello! 02:37, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I'm sorry about that. Popups, Lupin's, and AfD helper (and probably others, but those are what I use) should still work. I'll look into a way to strip all the scripts from the page to eliminate those problems, but hopefully you can live without the scripts or by keeping two versions of monobook.js for a couple of weeks. Sorry for the inconvenience! AmiDaniel (Talk) 03:04, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] div tags in speedy warning template

I've noticed that in at least one warning template added by the program, the speedy deletion warning, the div tag isn't closed, so that any further comments added to the talk page afterwards are formatted in the same way and highlighted in the same color, as here. Can this be altered? Thanks. -- Vary | Talk 03:21, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I found the bug in the prod and csd warnings, where I simply forgot to add a </div> to the end, and have corrected it. Hopefully there won't be any more problems with it. Again, thanks. AmiDaniel (Talk) 03:56, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Great, thanks for responding so quickly. This looks like a great project! -- Vary | Talk 04:03, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 'Your log-in request failed'

Despite being added to the list of authorised users, I'm getting rejected with the above message. I am currently logged in to Wikipedia. Any advice? --BillC 10:27, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I got that, but just clicked __login__ inside VandalProof. ^ross ^nixon 10:31, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm getting that a lot as well. —

nathanrdotcom ^{(T • C • W)} 15:09, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

I just checked and you're on the list, so that shouldn't be the problem. Check that in the upper-right corner of the browser screen your user name is displayed (as it typically is within Wikipedia). If you typically use FF, Opera, or Nerscape (in other words, not IE) as your primary browser, it's likely that the Wikipedia auto-login isn't stored in IE's cookies (VP uses IE components, so you'll need to be logged in within IE). That should fix it. AmiDaniel (Talk) 10:41, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorted, thanks. I needed to follow rossnixon's advice. (I'm a FireFox user). Now let's take this baby for a spin. --BillC 10:46, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm logged in in IE, but I still get the "your login request failed" error. And funny thing is, it shows me as logged in inside VandalProof. — Kimchi.sg | Talk 11:55, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

How did you type in your username? If you see "(Kimchi.sg)" in the form caption and you're logged into Wikipedia within VP as Kimchi.sg(case-sensitive) then I truly don't know what the problem is. The only thing that I could I think of is a problem with the period and the html converters. Let me run a few tests. AmiDaniel (Talk) 12:03, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I did a test run using your username and it didn't error until it went to verify that I was logged into Wikipedia as Kimchi.sg (which I'm obviously not). Just a thought, are you using a skin other than Monobook or Simple? AmiDaniel (Talk) 12:06, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm using the Simple skin. This is a screenshot of the failure page, if it helps. :-) — Kimchi.sg | Talk 12:58, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Have you tried using Monobook? That shouldn't make a diffence but it might. I'm still thinking it has to do with the period in your name; it's possibly translating that to some HTML char equivalent. Let me investigate some more. AmiDaniel (Talk) 02:31, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

(un-indenting) Nailed it down to choice of skin. I switched to monobook and logged in effortlessly. — Kimchi.sg | Talk 03:42, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I had to exit out of FF, open IE and login, then open VP. That resolved the login issue. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 13:57, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

For the record on this issue, you don't have to exit out of FireFox; you can log in to both at the same time. Like the AutoWikiBrowser, it just taps into your IE cookies and preferences. T K E 04:52, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm having similar problems - I login to wikipedia via IE piggy backed onto an AOL dial up (AOL never seems to save sessional-cookies whatever my settings, hence separate IE window to log into wikipedia), my username is 'Davidruben', and I've tried various permutations of my user name - is this just my computer playing up ? :-) David Ruben ^Talk 16:20, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Are you sure that in the upper-right corner of VandalProof's browser window, you see your username (as you would when logged in). I've checked and double-checked that you're on the list, so it must be the result of either a skin you're using or that you're logged in correctly to Wikipedia in the browser. AmiDaniel (Talk) 02:31, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Ah read comments re monobook vs Classic skin - a quick change to my settings, restart Vandalproof, retype in my username to force a reverification of username - and I was up & running. Many thanks. Now just have to learn difference in roll-back options that required manual confirmation (thus safe to "try-out") and the warnings that seem to select & post in one go (so great care needed not to accidentally click on wrong one, else might cause unintentional offense to another editor !) Seems like a great tool :-) David Ruben ^Talk 18:33, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Firefox Problems

Windows 98SE, using FF 1.5.0.1 (IE 6.0 is installed), 512 MB RAM, DSL (Direct but slow), 1024x768 UPDATE on listboxes is not working.

Will try rebooting. Will also try on Win2000 soon, WinXP tomorrow. ^ross ^nixon

I still don't totally understand what you mean by "it's not working." Are you receiving an error message, or is the list simply not being populated? AmiDaniel (Talk) 10:43, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

If you're using the "Enhanced Recent Changes," that could be causing the problem. Consider changing the setting under "my preferences" in Wikipedia, and see if that cures it. AmiDaniel (Talk) 10:45, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Ah yes! Changed that, and it is working now. Thanks. ^ross ^nixon 10:56, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

No problem. I'm glad to see it was something simple and expected, rather than something I'd have to do a whole re-write to fix =). AmiDaniel (Talk) 10:58, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] mnuSetEditLimit Cancel

Windows XP Pro SP2. Press file>set edit limit>cancel And you get Runtime error 13. Computerjoe 's talk 11:00, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, that's a feature I just added yesterday per user request and have hardly tested it at all (I prefer to just use 20 edits per update). I've now fixed it here (it was the <insert any obscenity> IsNumeric function that much to my dismay doesn't check for null strings), but until I release 1.0.1 just try to avoid hitting cancel. Sorry about that, and thanks for alerting me of the bug. AmiDaniel (Talk) 11:28, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nothing happens pressing update

When I press update, nothing happens! Why? Computerjoe 's talk 11:10, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Be sure that you're not running with the "Enhanced Recent Changes" mode; that will cause it not to work. AmiDaniel (Talk) 11:25, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

That was it. You need to show people how to tell if they are. I forgot about that setting; and thought it was a user script. :P Computerjoe 's talk 11:26, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] White List edits

Deleting one user (there was only one) from the white List causes "out of range subscript error 9" (or something like that) and closes the app. Thats on Firefox. ^ross ^nixon 11:05, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Wow, you just seem to be having all sorts of problems. I'm not sure what's causing that ... I just tested adding one (and only one) WL user and then deleting him and had no problems. I thought I already extensively error trapped the arrays for the WL/BL, but apparently not. Could you open up "WhiteList.txt" within the same directory as the app and tell me what its contents are/were before and after you delete the user? It could possibly be replacing the entry with a null character, and then when it tries to eliminate the null character from the set there is no entry superceding it, thus the error ... but I thought I had already fixed all of that. AmiDaniel (Talk) 11:16, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Hmm .. the first time I tried it there were no problems, but then I did it again and it did produce the same error. I'm looking into it. AmiDaniel (Talk) 11:19, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I know where the problem is. If you add the user, exit the app, load the app, and then delete the user there are no problems. It has something to do with the initial retrieval of the WL / BL being for some reason different from when you add a user. Still not entirely sure of the exact line to fix, but I do know where to look for the problem. Thanks for alerting me of this! AmiDaniel (Talk) 11:21, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Instaview

It isn't a huge bug, but if you have Pilaf's InstaView in your monobook, the application lags a lot and an error message pops up every time you change pages. _-M ^o P-_ 15:35, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

What version of IE do you have installed? InstaView doesn't work with 5 and below so that might be triggering it. Also, what version of Java are you using? Do the error messages say something to the extent of "document.getobjectbyid(...) is null"? AmiDaniel (Talk) 02:34, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] %P rather than article name in warning

See this edit. This edit happened when I clicked on {{Nn-warn}} but not having the article name on my clipboard to paste in I clicked cancel, expecting it not to give the warning. Instead it gave the warning with the 'blank' %P instead. I believe clicking cancel should cancel giving the warning completely. Petros471 16:39, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Now fixed in version 1.0.1. Thanks for reporting the bug! AmiDaniel (Talk) 02:48, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Report to AIV doesn't work

It adds the report to the user talk page, not WP:AIV. Computerjoe 's talk 18:14, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm ... I haven't had any problems with that yet. What exactly were you doing when you clicked on "Report to AIV"; in other words, were you viewing/edit a user's talk page, viewing a diff, etc.? AmiDaniel (Talk) 02:49, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk page. Computerjoe 's talk 07:08, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Really? I was pretty sure that I had tested it quite extensively with no problems. Let me do some testing and debugging and I'll get back to you. For now I'd recommend that you don't use the AIV utility. Sorry about this. AmiDaniel (Talk) 21:22, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Automation error

There are script errors when any page loads in VP. For example, when I attempt to load recent changes, the following appears. "An error has occured in the script on this page. Line 2, char 1, error: invalid character. Code 0, URL=recent changes URL" And sometimes another error appears in addition to the scripting error. "Run-time error -2147024726 (800700aa): Automation error, the specified resource is in use." This error is not fatal itself, but when its accompanying scripting error dialog is closed, the program closes immediately. The automation error seems to be reliably reproducable if I set recent changes to "load every 5 seconds", then click "start" and switch to a logged-in WP session in standalone IE. Error appears when switching back to VP, happened twice in this way. — Kimchi.sg | Talk 03:56, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm getting script errors as well. Other than that, this is nice. It's like the AWB specified. T K E 04:37, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I added a note to the welcome page about the automation error and the scripts error, but I'm racking my brain trying to solve this problem. To try to get to the core of the issue, could you please tell me: 1) Did you install the app from the setup cabinet or using the exe? 2) What version of Java are you running? 3) What JS tools are you using? Thanks. AmiDaniel (Talk) 04:49, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm using VandalProof from the cab file, running it directly without using Setup1.exe to install it beforehand. Java version is 1.5.0_06 and from my monobook.js, I have interiot's tool 2 and lupin's popups only. — Kimchi.sg | Talk 05:36, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm using the .cab, the .exe doesn't seem to work well for FireFox. I have the lastest of whatever java is as of five days ago, and I'm using Swatjester's fork monobook with Lupin tools. T K E 05:59, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

NOTICE TO AN ADMIN this did not upload to the name I intended, please change it to a less notable name. I was meaning to put in in my userpace. Anyway, this is the image I'm getting. T K E 06:16, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm starting to form the opinion that this may have to do with outdated components, especially after hearing that you received an automation error (which would be related to oleaut32.dll). I'm thinking you may have previous versions of this components installed that the app retrieves before those in the cab, or the dll's and ocx's may not be running correctly when not stored in the system directly. I'd recommend that you trying running the setup to correctly install the needed components and see if that cures it. If it fixes it please let me know so I can inform everyone else who is having these problems. Right now I'm trying to get ahold of a machine that does not have these controls installed by default to see if that is indeed causing the J-script errors, as that's what I believe may be responsible. AmiDaniel (Talk) 21:19, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

So in non-tech talk, I need to do what? T K E 03:03, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

(Oye, so many indents...) Extract the files from the cab, run Setup1.exe, and then try the program again. If that fixes it, tell me -- if not, tell me that too. AmiDaniel (Talk) 03:07, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I cleared out the previous install, removed all .dlls I could find. Now on extraction of the cab, running the setup, I get "Runtime Error 5". Using the install from the cab, I get to log on, but the same error pops up that I screenshot before. I dunno if it's happening to many other users; if not, don't worry about me, I will survive against the vandals! T K E 04:03, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

No, it's not just you. There's something fucked in the setup... I can't even run it on my own machine direct from its source... I more or less put all my faith in the PaD Wizard, but it's not working apparently, so I'm going to have to write my own install *angry grumble*. For now, you could try copying all of the files except for the .exe's to your System32 file. A simple copy may not register the dll's, but it's worth a try. AmiDaniel (Talk) 04:57, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Since I'm an experienced web user but novice at the general PC stuff, I'll hold off. Great tool, seem to be working for most, and I liked what I saw. Lemme know if you get the problem licked, I hope I was some help. A big thumbs up, I'm not frustrated :) T K E 07:34, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rollback function not saving

When VP attempts to save the previous version of the page, its getting a script error "regDropSubPages.exec...1 is null or not an object". IE 6.0, also running FF 1.5 open at the same time. After throwing this error twice and failing to save the article, it does correctly warn the user and is saving it correctly. .:.Jareth.:. ^babelfish 12:41, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

This seems to be a JS error that a lot of users are experiencing. I'm going to try to replicate on my machines using different versions of JS, different install options, etc., and will hopefully find a cure for it. What version of Java are you using? AmiDaniel (Talk) 21:12, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Sun Java, Version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_06-b05) .:.Jareth.:. ^babelfish 18:57, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] not fully reverting

When a vandal makes several consecutive edits in a row, it's important to fully revert all of these edits, rather than just the last edit. The "rollback" function available to admins automatically does this, but many of the vandal-reverting tools ("godmode-light", VandalProof, and others) don't seem to do this. See for instance this VandalProof revert, which doesn't do the right thing and leaves vandalism in place: [1]. -- Curps 06:45, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

When you click rollback and the last edit was made by the same user, it will prompt you to view all the edits made by that user. If you click yes, you'll then see a diff between the last edit by the current user and the last edit by the previous user, and clicking rollback again will revert all the way back to the last edit by the previous user. As there are often cases where a user makes a series of good edits and then some random test edit, in other words where only the last edit need be reverted, I leave this in the hands of the users to either do a "full" revert or a simple one-edit revert. (The user can also open up the page history and load a diff between any two edits and can revert to any version.) Thus, VP will revert all edits by the user, but only if you want it to. AmiDaniel (Talk) 20:57, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey, yeah, that was me. The script bug was the problem there, because when the rollback screen came up so did the error message. I'm going to reinstall now using Computerjoe's package and see what happens. T K E 02:55, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Problems (Watchlist, RC, Contribs, RB Malfunction)

I just tried VandalProof, and encountered the following problems:

Couldn't get the "My watchlist", "Recent Changes" and "User Contribs" tabs to list anything.
I tried Rollback + {{test1-n}} option. It issued a warning message to the IP, but didn't rollback.

Hopefully, I'm doing something wrong that can be easily corrected (as opposed to there being a bug in the code that's hard to trace.) Regards, deeptrivia (talk) 03:48, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

PS: Also, could VandalProof be made to leave edit summaries for all its edits? deeptrivia (talk) 03:53, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I might be able to the core of it, but if you could please answer a few questions: 1) What OS are you running? 2) What version of IE are you running? 3) What Wikipedia skin are you using? 4) What other scripts/tools are you running? 5) Are you using Enhanced Recent Changes (that will cause VP's RC to malfunction)? and 6) How did you install the tool (saving the .exe or using the cab)? VP actually does (or should) leave edit summaries for all of its edits, so if it didn't for you, that's another bug. P.S. I hope you don't mind that I moved this up to bugs; I'm just trying to keep things organized. AmiDaniel (Talk) 05:05, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talks the talk, but refuses to revert

Hi, thanks for approving me (and with such speed, I might add). I'm sorry to immediately dump problems on you, but this is just embarrassimg: the rollback+warning button puts the correct warning and link on the vandal's page, but does not in fact revert anything. Am I just doing something wrong? Oh, and the user colors are just black.

Seeing the questions you asked from another user with a similar problem - Win XP, IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158, MonoBook, no enchanced recent changes (removed prior to installing), anti-vandal tool and Vandal warning toolbox. There was a problem with the installation, I downloaded and extracted the cab file, there were 3 different error messages:

1. "Invalid command-line parameters. Unable to continue."

2. "Setup was not completed successfully."

3. "Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument." (the second part is below the first one)

After which the exe accepts my username and I successfully log in.--Chodorkovskiy 14:24, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Yep, all of these seem to be stemming from problematic installations. I'm assuming you probably also get annoying script messages everytime you load a page? Once I can get my setup working, I think the vast majority of these problems will disappear. I really am sorry, and if anyone has had problems with Package and Deployment Wizard that they managed to fix, please tell me! AmiDaniel (Talk) 14:32, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Don't be sorry. You've designed the best anti-vandal tool I ever heard of. So what if it isn't working properly yet? That's why it's called "development". And no, I actually don't get any annoying script messages when loading a page.--Chodorkovskiy 15:05, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Im in partly the same situation as Chodorkovskiy. I installed last night and get no errors or problems (running from the extracted CAB), but i just noticed today that its not actually reverting, just leaving warnings. Pressing just "Revert" takes you to the save page but doesnt actually push save, if this helps. Maybe that step is somehow not happening, because when i revert+warn i see the save page go by. -Lanoitarus _^(talk) .:. 17:19, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sudden error occured which I cannot fix

Hi AmiDaniel, today out of the blue I suddenly got this error pop up when accessing the main page, and any subsequent pages since:

I have removed and reinstalled, loaded it in safe mode, system restored and still it pops up every second or so. Please help?! - Glen ^T _C 21:00, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I believe this has to do with missing or outdated component files as I've explained above. I'm working on an install that actually *installs*, but it may be a while as the PaD Wizard I used for the first simply will not create a correct setup for this app, meaning I have to write my own setup. Please bear with me! I'll get this all sorted out. Thanks. AmiDaniel (Talk) 21:41, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Not an ideal solution but I created a new user in windows (admin) then downloaded the install file - worked first time. Just dragged the txt files into a shared folder and voila! - Glen ^T _C 00:08, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

What is this in reference to? AmiDaniel (Talk) 00:33, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

2.18 Sudden error occured which I cannot fix above - Glen ^T _C 00:47, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Oh ... okay. As you said, not an ideal solution, but it may work for others as well. For version 1.0.1 I will have an actual *working* install that I believe will cure these problems though. AmiDaniel (Talk) 00:51, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Crash

The program crashes after it loads the start up page. It brings up the send error report screen. Computerjoe 's talk 09:06, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

See above, 2.1 Crash on Run. AmiDaniel (Talk) 22:12, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moderator Tools Bug

I see I'm a moderator, though I'm not on the list. So I press moderate user list, it's blank. I press update user list, it's blank. I press done, and the userlist blanks on the page. Computerjoe 's talk 20:17, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Also, if I press welcome user or update list after I add a user I get runtime error 438. Computerjoe 's talk 20:26, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Also, when I log-in - I get the login error. Computerjoe 's talk 20:29, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

The problem with the welcome button is one I was already aware of, and I've actually just identified and repaired the bug that caused the page-blanking problem, which will no longer exist in the next release (likely on Saturday). AmiDaniel (Talk) 22:51, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
